ON-TREND SKIRT STYLES

Skirts are on a major trend run this year. Ranging from your typical A-line in an exploding blue denim; to the tight sophisticated body-con in a bright baby pink patent material that hugs the figure just the right amount.

Vloggers and Bloggers are raving over the 'nude range' of skirts and tops that online stores are producing and that are now slowly developing into high-street stores like Topshop, H&M and River Island. They are the perfect garment to wear for almost any occasion. Wearing them in the day for a smart but fashionable look matched with a pair of black tights for the cold winter; then just simple remove the tights, chuck on some heels with a bit of lipstick and you are ready to TAKE THE NIGHT.

Denim skirts have been a constant must have for years on end. They are a great summer " get ya legs out " piece, with just that bit of freedom compared to wearing jeans or denim shorts, a nice twist on your casual look. However they can also be styled for an evening wear outfit. a black denim skirt with some black heels, a nice top and a leather jacket is great for anything from going for a drink with a friend to going to a concert or even a gig being placed in a small venue.

AW16/17 RUNWAY TO ONLINE

Miss guided-Velvet

Velvet is a big MUST HAVE for this season AW16/17 trends. Ranging from shoes to scarfs, velvet will be one of the most popular materials to style this season. 

Having such a big impact on the runway, velvet has had an even more striking impact on online stores; one of these being the constantly growing miss guided.

                          

Not only is the material making an outfit a statement piece, but also the colour palette we are seeing in the majority of velvet garments this season. Golden bronzes and deep blood reds are becoming increasingly popular; as well as your baby pinks, blues and crushed greys. A fabulous range!

                      

Taking accessories like hats, bags and jewellery and turning them into a velvet galore garment is also becoming popular at its colossal best! I absolutely LOVE the golf hat style with that soft velvet pink, it can instantly make an outfit stand out from the rest.

If you were thinking of sparking up an outfit with a little something special, velvet is definitely the key to that problem, very trendy and forever stylish.

Maison Margiela, also knows as MMM ( Maison Martin Margiela ) is a French fashion House, founded in Paris in 1988 by Belgian designer Martin Margiela. It is extremely popular for its avant-guard ready to wear looks and leather accessories. Margiela graduated from the Antwerp Fashion Academy in 1979 and moved to Paris in 1984 working as an assistant to Jean Paul GaultierIn 1988, Maison Martin Margiela presented its debut womenswear collection as well as in 1998, Maison Martin Margiela debuted a menswear collection known as 'line 10'.

                   Margiela's Spring 2017 collection at Paris Fashion Week was certainly one of a kind. The designer has definitely excelled on representing their avant-guard flare in new and exciting ways! No matter his Historic side to his line, he still presents his english touch and his eye for streetwear. All of his looks offer a clear representation of an absolute upside down fashion world that actually works! It's brilliant!One of my favourite things about this line is the pop of colour on the metalic leather belts that add a spontaneous look to the outfits; almost like it was supposed to go but it did and it looks spectacular.  It certainly brings an essence of urban to the timeless historic tan, brown colours and game shooting checkers that some of his outfits display.Having only recently looked into Margiela's past has given me a complete different view on the line from when i first looked at it knowing nothing about the famous Belgian. To really appreciate the looks i feel taking a blast to Maison's past would be extremely worth it's while.

SPRING 2017 MILAN FASHION WEEK

 
Missoni is a high-end Italian fashion brand founded by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni in 1953. Missoni are greatly known for their fabulous and colourful knitwear which took up to be a great hit in the mid 70's. The iconic knitwear is slowly but promisingly coming back into the fashion world as the 70's style is making a sudden appearance again.

Missoni's 2017 Spring line shown at Milan Fashion week was iconic and colourful. It consisted of bright primary colours in knitted form to create beautiful dresses, skirts, tops, shoes and even those big round 70's earrings that we all love. All of the looks were emphasised with a slicked back half up half down hair do and very simplistic complexion; just enough to make all those bright electric colours stand out.
