The Topshop Autumn/Winter 2014 Collection is Fun and Kitschy
Farida Helmy — March 19, 2014 — Fashion
The new Topshop Autumn/Winter 2014 collection made a splash when it debuted at London Fashion Week; it was like a royal feast full of roughly hewn faux sheepskin and faux fur gilets. And with Kendall Jenner, Anna Wintour, Kate Moss and Poppy Delevingne in the front row, the show was a hit.
The collection flaunted the label's quirky style and its casual appeal that everyone from high fashion devotees, celebrities and street-style enthusiasts can relate to and love to don season after season. With a safety-pin motif running through the Topshop Autumn/Winter 2014 collection, the collection was different than anything else on the runway. The collection also featured tattoo-animalesque beading, zipped jersey/faux fur sweatshirts, faux python trench coat and plenty of tunic coats with square patches of magenta, bordeaux, pink and beige with Afghan accents.
