An inside look into A/W 2011 trends

2011-07-21T07:10:00.000-07:00

It may still be technically Summer, but with the weather showing no signs of getting better, we're already thinking about what to add to our wardrobes this Autumn/Winter. We've rounded up a couple of the top trends to keep your eye on this season to give you a head start.

First up colour blocking, a great way to give yourself an instant mood lift while keeping your outfit bang on trend. For a subtle addition to your wardrobe, go for brightly coloured jeans or trousers, which can be toned down with a plain top, or brightened up even futher with a showstopping blouse and killer block heels. If you prefer going more girlish look, a bold formal dress or a floral number is perfect, with opaque tights, and chunky sandals to complete your style. If your going for wintry shades aim for mustard and tea, or to stand out from the crowd go for shocking pinks, green and orange.

Since returning to acting, Camilla Belle has hit her stride. After running away from dinosaurs in Jurassic Park The Lost World and kidnapped in 10,000BC. Camilla Belle is stealing this trend with her colour block outfit, her top designer by Gucci. Which you can find some more of Gucci designs on DesignerClothing.com. Top marks. This pic sums up this style to a tee.

Second up, the tomboy! For a long time, there has been a fine line between masuline and feminine fashion, and this fine line can be well and truely crossed for the A/W 2011 season. Low slung trousers, crisp white shirts and waistcoats were all seen on the runways at this year's biggest fashion shows, and this can be be simply incorporated into your wardrobe. Team with chunky heels for a spohisticated night time style, or flat brogues for an effortless day look.

Ready for when the snow starts to fall, chunky knits will be making a welcomed return to the shops this season. Accessorise your knits with a beret hat and a thick scarf to look stylish yet stay warm this winter.

The brains behind Harry Potter wore a modest pink and green rose print dress by Oscar de la Renta, which was previously seen on Rihanna in red and white at the BRITs earlier this year.

Tragic loss of a legend

2010-02-15T07:31:00.000-08:00

It's impossible to cite Alexander McQueen's most glorious fashion moment, because there are just too many to choose from, but this is one of our favourites...

In memory of Lee Alexander McQueen CBE, 1969 - 2010

Candy vs stripes

2010-01-12T01:47:00.000-08:00

Two of the biggest trends to emerge for Spring/Summer 2010 are Candy Colours and Classic Pinstripes, but even hardcore fashion victims wouldn't wear the two together, so which will win out?

Pretty pink and fleshy tones were spotted on the SS10 catwalks of style setters including Marc Jacobs, Givenchy and Valentino, while Burberry Prorsum, Luella, Michael Kors and Calvin Klein went for sugary shades of baby blue, pastel pink and soft lilac.
Pinstripes were proudly paraded by Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Cavalli, Armani, Vivienne Westwood and Roland Mouret, making it another heavy hitting trend, so now it's down to the great British public to choose which will be the must-have look of the approaching spring season.

Year of the hat

2009-06-30T12:50:00.000-07:00

I'm a big fan of hats, always have been, but the gems sported during the summer wedding season only serve to remind me that generally, we just don't wear them like we used to. In fact, we wear them so infrequently now that they've become a bit of a glass-cased oddity.

In May, I was fortunate enough to catch the V&A's 'Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones' exhibition - and it didn't disappoint. In collaboration with the V&A, Stephen Jones (a magnificent milliner himself) put together an amazing collection of headgear ranging from the neat to the nuts, but aside from some of the more outlandish hats, I was most surprised by onlooker reactions. People gawped and shrieked at the hats on show as though they were looking at extra-terrestrial artifacts and although admittedly some of the designs were a bit X Files 'out there', the majority were merely beautiful examples of once fashionable accessories.

Of course, there are still mad hatters here and there (and I really can't write a blog on hats without tipping my own to the late, great Isabella Blow) but I'm looking forward to a mass-hat-resurgence. Ascot in June saw the usual array of weird and wonderful, as did the Chelsea Flower Show the month before, and Diane von Furstenberg's pompom hats are already being cited as the must-have accessory of autumn/winter 2009, so who knows...maybe by the end of the year hats will regain their rightful place - out of glass cabinets and onto our noggins.

The microsite for the V&A hats exhibition is still online btw, and well worth a look: http://www.vam.ac.uk/microsites/hats-anthology/

All hands on deck

2009-06-29T05:27:00.000-07:00

With the launch just a matter of weeks away, it's all hands on deck at DesignerClothing.com. We'll be featuring collections from over 1,000 brands and designers (including Alexander McQueen, Nudie Jeans, Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood, Hugo Boss, Fred Perry, YMC, and many, many more) which means we've got tens of thousands of photos and descriptions to put together (!).

There's a real buzz online and offline about the site. Most people can't believe it's never been done before because the concept is so simple (like all the best ideas) - DesignerClothing.com will bring together the best designer clothing available on the Web, and combine it with sophisticated profiling functions so shoppers can quickly and easily find the latest from the labels they love, in the styles they prefer, and the sizes they need. There are loads of other great features too, but we'll wait until the site's launched before we unveil those ;-)

Tremendous amount of work going on 'behind the scenes', but the result is going to be amazing - really looking forward to test-driving DesignerClothing.com myself and stocking up on summer must-haves.
