  • Two Sides | Moschino Cheap & Chic Resort 2014

    Moschino-Cheap-and-Chic-prep
    Am a little late to the party when it comes to flailing over this one but boy is it a good ‘un. Moschino’s Cheap & Cheap Resort collection hit the catwalks back at the end of May in New York, and this, coupled with the wonderful Summer sunshine is a welcome burst of colourful inspiration. 
    Full of candy shades and light, bright pieces, Moschino seems to have captured two distinctive Summer styles. 
    The one above is Blair Waldorf circa Season 1 of Gossip Girl – think 60’s inspired cuts, girl-y skirts and pretty twinsets and cardigans – with the looks providing great inspiration for the office, Summer weddings or weekend breaks in country estates.
    On the flipside, the looks below scream Williamsburg/So-cal hipster. Coachella may be far in the distance now, but the looks wouldn’t be out of place at British gatherings such as such as Bestival or Latitude – I can also totally see the like of Alexa Chung and Florence Welch rocking the first and fourth looks.

    I’m leaning towards the first set, simply for practicality – no festivals for me this Summer *boo* – but the second lot look so comfy to chillax in!
    Which side of Moschino’s collection are you favouring?

  • Less Is More | The Minimalism Trend

    Minimalism isn’t a new trend, in fact it’s as old as fashion itself. The runways have been awash with the trend since the 60’s, with the fashion style synonymous with androgyny, simplicity and unusual architectural detailing. Minimalism has become the signature style for such design houses as Mason Martin Margiella, Calvin Klein and Jil Sander.

    But its red carpet revival in being led by a crop of new and veteran stars who are turning the trend into something a little special. It’s a different way of making a statement, opting out of the go big or go home option that many stars seem to take. The mother of all minimalist style being Tilda Swinton, there’s a fashion pack following in her footsteps in the form of Rooney Mara, Carey Mulligan and Gwyneth Paltrow. Even the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone and Cameron Diaz are getting in on the act too!
