Topshop 'unique' spring/summer 2013 collection.

Well I have finally managed to catch up with Topshop's 'Unique' spring/summer 2013 collection at London fashion week and I must say it's definitely left a good impression.
I have always loved Topshop, definitely one of my favorite high street brands and they have never failed to impress me yet, So I was very excited to finally sit down and catch up with the latest collection 'Unique' which I discovered is just that.
The whole space age trend was something that I noticed straight away, from the venue itself with huge white lights above the spaceship esque oval shaped runway, to the style of clothes such as metallic baggy trouser suits and metallic floaty dresses. Topshop being, well topshop, has made this space age style very trendy and nothing to 'Captain Spock'.
The element that I love most about the 'Unique' collection is how simple and elegant every single piece of the collection is. Topshop has gone for a kind 90's minimal feel with soft colors, striking white's and blacks, transparent skirt/dresses with sheer panelling to cover their modesty and every so often the accentuated pinks and yellows would appear.There was soft shirt-dresses and boxy and slightly over sized coats and vests but nothing to extreme,  Paired with the models wearing minimal make up as well, with light pink eye shadows, rosey cheeks and side parted hairstyles. There was not a single piece that was out of place.
Speaking of the whole 90's minimal feel this collection seems to be giving off, Kat Phelan the creative designer at Topshop spoke about the 90's revival in fashion saying, "That's what this idea of a 90's revival is about, because that's the way I look at fashion now, so those ideas feel very powerful".
To me, there was so many highlights from the show but in particular my favorite was the transparent black dress with the bold paneling, I thought it was stunning.
Also another trend that Topshop played with was the "Social media" trend, allowing their show to reach a wider audience as fashion enthusiasts could watch straight from their home instead of being front row. They could also customize the catwalk and order what they liked three months before anything is due to hit the stores. So with that said I believe that Topshop is still the high street store that manages to get everything bang on trend. Here are some of my favourite looks from the 'Unique' spring/summer 2013 collection.

What did you guys think of Topshop's 'Unique' Collection?

Topshop's Customisable catwalk!

London fashion week has officially started and one of my favourite stores, Topshop have announced a rather interesting development. As part of their spring/summer 2013 event that is taking place tomorrow the high street brand has teamed up with Facebook, where users can have the chance to customize the clothes and accessories from Topshop's latest range straight from the catwalk! It'll be just like your in the front row of the fashion show!. Oh not to mention, you can also order everything that you like right there, three months before it's even due to hit the stores!. How awesome does that sound? I quite frankly think my heart jumped out of my chest when I heard about this. Not to mention I also think it is a really great way for others to get involved with fashion as well as getting fashion enthusiasts from all over the world connected. In addition to the facebook activity, Topshop are also running a 'tweet off' campaign to encourage the viewers to write 140 word review of their catwalk and the best tweet will win VIP tickets to the next show!.

I absolutely love Topshop and I think that this idea is pretty great, I am even thinking about getting involved myself. Does anyone else agree? what do you;s think about Topshop's use of social media websites?

New Designer to watch: Anne Sofie Madsen

Like many of the fashion bloggers out there I have been keeping a good track of New York Fashion Week, checking out some new designs from some of the worlds most famous Designers in the fashion industry but there is one designer in particular that has caught my eye and that would be Sofie Anne Madsen.

Denmark Native Anne Sofie Madsen is being featured in this years Gen art's fresh Faces in fashion as an uprising star and I couldn't agree more that she is definitely going to be a huge designer in a few years to come. For an uprising star in fashion Anne Sofie Madsen already has a very impressive resume, she attended   the Royal Danish Academy of Fine arts school of design and then went on to train under John Galliano for Dior and also worked as a junior designer for the great Alexander McQueen, so it's no wonder she is starting to create a buzz within the industry.
I managed to see some of her designs from Copenhagen Fashion week this year for her her spring/summer 2013 collection and I must admit that her designs and style completely blow me away. I have fallen in love with the way that she mixes classic vintage couture with a little bit of grunge princess incorporated through her designs. There are punked up art deco designs along with flapper girl dresses with fierce studs and spikes and everyone knows just how much I love classic vintage and studs and spikes so it's definitely no wonder that I have fallen in love with this womans collections.
Not only is she a great designer but I believe that Anne Sofie Madsen is a designer with great vision. Her collections let the audience get lost in a beautiful swirl of grey's mixed with pastels, historical pieces clearly influenced by norse mythology and viking princesses/warriors (A piece of history I am hugely interested in) and creating great designs that are both outrageous but also very contemporary and wearable. So on that note I shall leave you guys with some absoloutely breathtaking images of Anne Sofie Madsens collections at Gen art's Fresh Faces show and Copenhagen Fashion week for you to draw your on conclusions about Anne Sofie Madsen's breathtaking work.

Fall 2012 Fashion trend: Leather Trousers.

Every fashionable lady knows just cool a pair of leather trousers are but until recently most were very skeptical about this unwavering trend. However A-listers have been spotted wearing leather trousers more and more in the recent weeks and now there seems to be a buzz growing within the fashion industry. Thanks to fashion beauties such as Olivia Palermo and Miranda Kerr, the leather trouser trend is becoming very chic and the must have of the month. In fact you could possibly say that they are the alternative to Skinny jeans, Worn any time of the day or night. In my opinion, teamed with a sheer white blouse, a pair of high heels and minimum make up and jewelry makes the perfect Chic outfit for cocktails with the girls...Anyone else agree?
