Another roundup of Fall 2014 shows. I swear I'm almost done sharing! I finally had the chance to go through the rest of the shows and have pieces from 13 collections to share. I narrowed them down as much as I could so there shouldn't be too many more posts. Then we can focus on Spring, which is slowly coming.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I look forward to receiving my What's New at net-a-porter email! There are always so many beautiful clothes to drool over. Last week it helped me discover an awesome new designer, Michael van der Ham! I fell in love with every single piece they had by him so I did some research on him. Michael is from The Netherlands and he counts Alexander McQueen as one of his previous employers...pretty impressive! London Fashion Week did a quick Q&A session with him and some of his answers are as follows:
Design signatures: “I like to mismatch different references in each item of clothing. My autumn/winter 2009 collection is a juxtaposition of elements from different decades in fashion. I made each dress like a 3D collage of clashing colours, textures, weights of fabric and cut.”Here are some amazing pieces from net-a-porter, someone want to buy them for me?! The print mixing and draping is perfection and the pieces are simply gorgeous.
How would you describe the Michael van der Ham woman? “Someone who's not afraid to wear something a little more bold.”
Trademark piece: “Knitwear with chiffon tops and multi-fabricated dresses.”
Three autumn/winter 2012 inspirations: “It’s hard to answer without giving too much away: very rare and special fabrications, custom-made textiles and intricate cuts.
What does 2012 hold for your brand? “Hopefully more growth like in 2011.”
