Holst + Lee

So we recently received a new jewellery label at work (Husk) which caught my attention straight away. Holst + Lee is the collaboration of the two creatives Natalie Holst and Rochelle Lee. The two girls were both born in South America, however they met and began their line in New York. With backgrounds in art and fashion, the inspiration for the line comes from a wide range of people, places, culture and materials. The jewellery has been very popular around the world appealing to people from all walks of life. Some of the countries that stock the brand include Japan, Paris, London, Spain, Sweden, Australia and more! However if you don't happen to live in one of those countries, there are many online stores that the girls also stock at such as; Holst + Lee, Sadee Says, Shopbop and Shop L-atitude. Anyway, I have definitely fallen in love so I thought I should definitely share :) xx

Milan Fashion Week Spring Summer 2013.

So here are some photos's I sourced from Wallpaper* and the photographer is Jason Lloyd-Evans. These photos are beautiful and are from backstage at the shows. I know there are a lot but I was very impressed with the collections! I'm loving the jungle, tribal vibe of Max Mara and the embellished white tops and basic floral prints of Bottega Veneta. Gucci has pulled it off with the use of bold colours and statement jewellery. Also noticing the continued use of the Peplum style in the sleeves of the dresses. Ports 1961 has designed basic, structured designs combined with a softer colour palate while Emporio Armani has used soft sheer fabric with some metallic shine pieces and beautiful pastel digital prints. So far Prada is one of my favourites with the strong use of Red, white and black to make stand out pieces that command attention and are rather striking! Sportsmax is another stand out for me with really wearable pieces that look super comfortable. Fendi has combined softer colours with more strong bold colours to create contrast pieces that are both abstract and eye catching. Versace has stayed true to their signature with sexy silhouettes, hot mini dresses and lots of lace! More to come, enjoy xx

Helmut Lang SS13. WOW!

So Nicole and Michael Colovos, the talented duo also known as Helmut Lang have adopted the forecasted colour of the season, tangerine, into their latest collection to hit NYFW. I know this is old news to some, but I am loving the latest collection! I had heard that they had strayed from their signature look and I wasn't sure if it was going to be a good thing or a bad thing. In my mind, its a great thing!! I am lovinggggggg it and I can still see the traditional asymmetric cuts in this collection as well as the familiar unstructured jacket. The knee length pieces, use of sheer fabrics, mixture of relaxed fits with a retro futuristic sporty luxe (ha!) vibe, along with the seductive and sexy psychedelic, oriental prints and fits make this collection a stand out for me. The designers worked with tattoo artist Thomas Hooper to create mesmerising prints in shades of blues, oranges and reds. I have seen at least 5 pieces that I must have. Oh dear!!
I've included both backstage and runway shots. There's just something about backstage photos that I find more captivating then the runway ones. If I ever had the chance, I think I would prefer to be behind the scenes photographing it all happening rather then front row. Being amongst all the chaos, the models, the designer etc would be so much more up my alley!! Can you imagine!?? If only..
