5:31 Jerome Fall/Winter 2014: Basic Artistry

by Shawn Frego

Tamed and classic- In their attempt to be a new, fresh voice, artist sometimes move so far away from convention that their artistry gets swallowed up by hyperbole. But, when the artist tames that creativity and focuses on making classics really well, he comes up with something chic. This past weekend, 5:31 Jerome presented its Autumn/Winter 2014 collection with a few classic killers.

The knee length cocktail dresses coupled with the cut-out detailing feels like something fashion addicts have seen several times over. But, what keeps it feeling fresh is the fit and and fabric choice. Also, classic and fresh is the purple over coat with the medallion detailing. This was often regarded as the show (presentation) stopping piece. It feels feminine yet structured. It is a simple/classic design except for the 3-demensional medallions hanging from it. The medallions as an added bonus pump up the coats already good fashion rating. The styling we saw kept this look as well as the others feeling young as well, though classic designs often revolt youth. The 3-demensional bangles and gold necklaces helped convey a youthful elegance throughout all the outfits. The biggest advantage young artist have is history. There is some sense of fashion history within 5:31 Jerome‘s Autumn/Winter 2014.

Volume was the star this fashion week. It walked pretty much all the runways.
Ruffian was no anomaly. Designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morais  provided fashion week with arguably one of its most voluminous and bold runways. Playing with shape and tackling wearability and femininity in the same breath, Ruffian was for the most part successful.
