Amanda Wakeley is going to present her new collection on the Fashion Week in Rio 2014, which indicates her international high profile. The spring/summer collection 2014 is titled “African Summer” and is about a life in two worlds, her own life actually, because Amanda Wakeley switches from London to Africa regularly.
Therefore she combines African embellishments and patterns with European designs. However you can often find numerous very military styles too, just as in the kaki-colored overall. In her new collection fall/winter 2014/15 she seems to underline this strict character even more. The main part is designed of leather combined with dark colors, especially black, thus they represent a very strong personality. Those tough, nearly masculine designs create an enormous contrast to the bright spring/summer collection.
Amanda Wakeley seems to have reinvented herself, because watching these two collections might let one think that they are designed by different labels, which doesn’t mean that one style is less fashionable than the other.
