Long awaited Lei Lou Fall/Winter 13' collection was shown yesterday in Zagreb as opening show on the first day of Fashion.hr event. Known as the #1 Croatian designer both when it comes to sales and industry experts opinion Aleksandra didn't disappoint her clients. Following the opening of her first international store in luxurious part of the city in Stuttgart, Germany she presented yet another striking collection.

This Fall/Winter 2013. collection is showing growth and maturity of Lei Lou brand known as young Croatian company - success story and love brand among Croatian public and celebrity fashionistas. Collection was reminiscent of glamorous Hollywood diva's from the beginning of 20th century, rich jewel color tones, vintage silhouettes celebrating women's curves and playful patterns in luxurious fabrications certainly dominated the show.

Aleksadra's 'gentle, feminine but ouu so powerful and independent women' marched the runway as if they were equally confidently heading to the office, romantic date or coffee with a friend. Wherever Lei Lou women is heading, one thing is sure, she will be noticed without making an effort.

 Skirts and dresses were kept at calf length and her signature ruffles were placed on the back of the dresses and coats, they were more floaty, thinner and less emphasized then before. Single color pieces were uplifted by elegant blouses and skirts in rich colors like mustard and various textures where designer played with wool, silk, faux-fur, velvet, leather, crochet, feathers and lace as well as patterns like leopard print, polka-dots and embroidery.

My favorite pieces are certainly hard to pick this time around! I would go with green velvet dresses for the evening, as well as chic white coat for the day over my favorite denim shirt and brown leather boots.
