Okay, I felt I HAD to post again, I suddenly felt like I was having Fashion withdrawal symptoms, and I must do something about it! So here is a load of interesting things I've found the past week or so while being ill...
**********
Reading this Month's Vogue; The Ultimate Spring/Summer Catwalk Report [UK] - in association with Selfridges&Co
The trends for the S/S 2011 Catwalk:
- Colour Splash; be bright, be bold, and clash with style!
- Sportswear; keep it smart, sleek and modern.
- Modern Craft; tassles, feathers and crochet textures!
- Intense Blue; think ultramarine and oceanic colours!
- The Gathering; pleats, gathers and draping for added texture and movement!
- Flowing Fabrics; maxi gowns floating over the body…‘revealing as much as they conceal’
- White; crisp and clinical elegance in evening gowns and impeccable tailoring.
- Latin; think frills and full skirts!
- Denim; pinafores to workday suits - denim rules!
- The new black: TANGERINE! Vibrant and youthful.
- Eastern Influence; kimono’s, obi belts and red lips.
- Layer-Up; soft lines and sheer fabrics.
- Nude; figure hugging second-skin shades are an elegant alternative to this season’s brights.
- Natural; floral and fauna.
- What to wear to keep warm?; trenches and biker jackets!
- Accessories; belts, gym pants, hats, sunglasses, headscarves, clutches, stachels, platforms, white heels, flat sandals and sculptural shoes.
- Think the 70s; big hair, big flares!
- Strong make-up; yellow eye shadow, matching nails and lips, bold red lipsticks and big bold eyes.
- Hair; big and bold, or sleek and smooth.
- Bare Back; reveal the new erogenous zone, brave the no bra experience and wear the lowest backed garment you dare!
