Erdem’s fall/winter 2010 collection brings life to the cold winter months

One wouldn’t normally associate flower and leaf prints, and splashes of vibrant colours to adorn clothing worn in the colder months of the year. However, London based-designer and Canadian born, Erdem Moralioglu took the contrary and made his fall/winter 2010 collection into a collage of light and dark, warm and cold – winter has never looked this appealing.

Erdem isn’t known as the “prince of prints” for nothing, here he melds foliage from all four seasons by using prints, embroidery and appliqué on bell skirts, dresses and shirts showing a dramatic and stunning interpretation of fall and winter.

The only time the collection seems to go off track was the use of grey which put a bit of damper on the otherwise lively garments.
