#MQVFW: Focus: Womenswear

MuseumsQuartier Vienna Fashion Week has ended not long ago and the reviews are in. The overall event was entertaining and dynamic with around 80 labels showcasing the latest designs on the Viennese runway.

In terms of womenswear, the palette of styles was very diverse: from conceptual to ready-to-wear pieces, everything was present during Austria’s most important fashion event.

Take a look at the womenswear collections that made our fashion edit:

Aniko Smart Couture

Aniko Smart Couture, a Viennese label focused on looking forward and design innovation put on a chic show that brought together elements of classic Parisian aesthetic and modern, futuristic elements. These clothes were definitely smart, as they managed to offer texture, movement and visual appeal.

Aquanauta

Aquanauta, a label founded in 1999 by designer Bernadett Pallai offered unexpected outfits. Their clothes, which were highly wearable and practical for a modern woman, were mixed in surprising ways that definitely caught our eye and made us look forward to what the brand will do next.

Artista

The newest collections of the Artista label put a twist on women’s essentials. What we enjoyed about their pieces was that they were highly interchangeable: one can imagine millions of ways in which the Artista clothes can be worn.

Black Sugar

Thai brand Black Sugar put on a collection consisting of minimalist, dynamic pieces that offered movement and volume in the best ways. What was remarkable about the brand’s collection was that the clothes managed to convey the aforementioned effects through great architectural constructions.

Corina Vladescu

For women who like to wear something out of the ordinary, yet chic and bold, Corina Vladescu’s latest collection is the right place to look. Her prêt-à-porter pieces were greatly tailored and made an impact on the audience.

Dypol Deductions

It was a constructivism/futurism-inspired collection for Dypol Deductions this season at MuseumsQuartier Vienna Fashion Week. The Austrian label showcased a collection of pieces that reminded us of the great aesthetic of 1930s sci-fi cinema.

Ingried Brugger

Ingried Brugger’s collection was one that stood out through shape and color. The fine lines of the garments and the feminine red-pink color palette made for a very sensitive and powerful show.

Juan Carlos Gordillo

Guatemalan designer Juan Carlos Gordillo continued the denim story he started last year and presented a new chapter of his vision at MQVFW. Not only did he display denim works like no other, but he also gave rhythm and flair to his collection with printed dresses and playful accessories.

Karlmichael

Fashion rebel Karlmichael created a storyline through his show and collection. Focusing both on menswear and womenswear, as well as on his signature androgynous aesthetic, the designer played once again with hard and soft.

Kayiko

Confidence on a thousand levels. That’s what Viennese label Kayiko gave their models to wear.

Lila

Going big on the runway is always great. That is why this huge headpiece by Lila was one of the best pieces from this fall’s event!

Masi

What was expected to be a low-key presentation turned out to be one of the highlights of this year’s MQVFW as label Masi took the runway by storm. Colorful, wearable and fresh are the words that describe their show best. And that’s what clothes should be all about!

Milk

Designer Nicole Komitov signed the latest Milk collection, which was presented by Mercedes Benz. It was one of the most awaited shows of the Fashion Week and did not fall short to deliver, as simple, yet sophisticated garments walked down the Austrian runway during the Milk show.

There was definitely something for everyone this year in the Austrian capital’s main fashion event. We were very excited to see what the labels we know and love have created and were happy to have discovered new brands. We’re excited about the works we’ve seen and are curious to see how things will pan out this coming season.
