Something New

Mansur Gavriel SS16

This fashion season so far has been about discovering new designer talent. Yes we all love the classics Chloe, Burberry, Chanel. But I don't think you can beat finding something new! 

Today it's all about shoes shoes shoes! A few days ago whilst scrolling through my Instagram feed I saw the most incredible pair of blue suede mules. I instantly double clicked the image and carried on getting my lunchtime Instagram fix. A few days later with those shoes still on my mind I knew I had to find them. About an hour later (after scrolling through the feed of all those I follow) I found them!! 

It turns out there by handbag designer Mansur Gavriel - a designer I've never heard of until now, but one I hope to hear more about in the future. 

His designs are simple but unique. The bold colour and strong structure will give any outfit a modern twist. His designs are all about colour and shape - he has truly let the shoe speak for its self. 

I feel a high street replica coming our way next SS, or at least I hope so!

It's that time of year again when the fashion elite pack in to this seasons must see shows and take a peak into what Spring Summer 2016 has to offer. This seems strange considering its SS15 and I'm currently wearing sunglasses and sandals on a very busy (warm) train commute home. But we all know fashion is always one step ahead of us - or should I say 12 months. 

I'm not always particular to the SS collections (I'm a true lover of winter at heart) but it's only day two of New York Fashion Week and a whole bunch of designers have grabbed my attention, in particular bcbgmaxazria.

I loved the multicoloured, oversized, layered knits, especially the pink marl knitted vest - perfect for layering over a bikini in summer and layered over a knitted jumper or dress in winter.  

The guys at WGSN gave the collection the title of 'Venice beach vibes' and they couldn't be more right. 

Fashion season has only just begun and I can't wait to see what else it has in store for us. Keep posted!!!
