Orley have released their Spring 2014 collection, so I thought this would be the perfect chance for me to pick my favourite looks from their collection and give some form of review I guess, however I'm not the best at reviews as you're probably about to find out, but I'll try my bestest!
Orley is a Brand consisting of 2 Brothers (Alex and Matthew Orley) and Samantha Florence (Matthews Fiancee) and are a label that Specializes In Knitwear. As a brand they are constantly sourcing inspiration, be it from buildings in exoctic places to vintage iconic motifs. The Brand is constantly exceeding their challenge to never conform and to stand out!

There SS14 Collection takes inspiration from islamic architecture and eastern motifs. What I love about this collection is their odd choice in colour bring autumnal shades and mixing them with pastels to revamp the spring colour palette! Another thing that really stands out to me is the way that they have used vintage style cumberbands, lowered them so they act more as a belt, I feel like this detail takes their looks to a much more classier and elite platform, making their garments look more expensive.
Their use of space dye knits and pleated shorts have really inspired me and made me want to start planning my spring wardrobe! Im also infatuated with their use of loafers and socks to give an 'old man' sense of being to the collection which brings me to the final thing that i love about this brand! their fashion video;

What I love about this video is that they have made it not an obvious fashion film or even to do with fashion!, and the fact that they have used elderly models for the film and young models for the photographs shows how versatile there clothing is and that the label doesn't see for any reason of fashion having restrictions to age!
