With one day off from all things Economics, I thought it
necessary to have some fashion therapy. So I finally caught up with all the
designer collections predominantly the spring-summer collections. My main
sources being fashion shows, Vogue and Marie Claire. Dior, I am in love with
your shoes. Pointed with strappy sides in an array of different colours, yummy!
Think of quality streets, and now picture a dress. From Dolce
and Gabbana to Gucci its all about the metallic cocktail dresses. Dior has this
beautiful metallic jacket maintaining its signature light pink colour in its
collection of silhouettes that is necessary in every girl’s closet.
Another big trend is the daring tweeds especially by Chanel,
my favourite being the bright pink sleeveless coat, its so over the top yet
toned down by the fact that it is tweed. For spring, another obvious standard
print is florals, but this time, its florals in massive prints. From Versace to
Christopher Kanes it’s all about the big roses and bold tulips and daisies. Wearing
floral isn’t girly anymore; it’s for the independent daring woman.
Another fashion trend is monochrome. This screams chic and
classy, a definite win win for the modern woman with a touch of femininity. Perfect
for the workplace. We learnt this all from Victoria Beckham with taking block
dark colours and using that to the advantage of your figure.
Looks like the 90’s are back in fashion. Remember when it
was about the illusion strap slip dresses? Well, get them out of the loft, dust
them off and throw on a pair on converses and you will look like you’ve walked
off the runway, believe it or not. DKNY and Mui Mui are guilty of bringing what
Alicia Silverstone wore in Clueless back in fashion.
With accessories, the bolder the better, from massive
statement necklaces to outrageous sunglasses, it’s all about being noticed. As Marie Claire puts it “rule of the season: avoid anything subtle”. For shoes, the new
trend is the bent heel. From Dior to Alexander McQueen, the curved stiletto heels
defy gravity and all rules of geometry, but still look so damn good!
The one fashion trend I absolutely hate is the tassels, especially
on bags, it didn’t look good in the 90’s on the jackets, and it doesn’t look
good on the bags now, Valentino, we are not impressed!
Keeping up with fashion doesn’t mean you have to spend hundreds
and thousands of pounds on clothes and shoes. Retail stores like top-shop,
Zara, River Island, Primark and many more are there to help you look fabulous
and still have enough money for rent! And the best thing to do is mix it up,
old is always coming back in, so some of those outdated sweaters or dresses
paired with a bold accessory could go a long way. Don’t forget, vintage shops hold
the best gems sometimes.
Till next time, keep strutting them heels dreamers.
