Newsletter - Spring/Summer Trends
Be set to sparkle in the coming season,
as metallic fabrics and gemstones rule summer
fashion. The emphasis is on futuristic,
yet feminine, styles that add a splash
of glamour into the everyday wardrobe.
The colour palate for this season is a mix of
neutral shades, such as cream,
white and pink that will show off that gorgeous
summer glow. Be sure to add a splash of
silver for an instant glam-injection.
The summer essential for any Party Girl is undoubtedly
the sequinned dress. It is the
ultimate in no-fuss glamour and will be a staple
of this season’s party wardrobe. Pair with
a large clutch and platform shoes
to complete the look and feel fabulous.
Citric colours will also make
an impact on this season’s fashion forecast,
as zesty shades of orange and yellow in luxurious
fabrics are set to make a bold statement as the
temperature soars. The trick when wearing bright
colours is to keep the accessories simple, so
team bright outfits with only one or two extra
pieces to avoid an overly fussy appearance.
The old summer favourite, the Safari
suit, has made a comeback this season
with a fresh new look on this season’s catwalks.
Think animal prints, linen and glam accessories
in tortoise-shell or snakeskin. This is a sure-fire
way to make casual dressing look effortlessly
chic.
Beauty trends mirror the key fashion looks for
the season. For daytime, compliment the neutral
and metallic fashion pieces with a dash
of shimmer to the eyes and cheeks. If
your summer wardrobe embraces the bold and bright
shades of the citrus trend, take your beauty inspiration
from ocean-themed eye palettes
in shades of aqua and gold. Nothing says summer
like a bronzed glow-just make
sure it comes out of a bottle.
After sunset, swap gloss with lipsticked lips
in the season’s hottest shade-red.
Make lips standout with just a hint of mascara
and dewy skin. Complete the look with a
glam up-do or volumous curls and add
a feather hair-piece for the
ultimate in summer elegance.
For Spring 2007, the clutch
is the bag to get your hands on, in any shape,
size or colour that takes your fancy. Whether
it be adorned with jewels or feathers,
drawstring or python print, the clutch
will mirror the key clothing trends to emerge
as the perfect accessory. Speaking of accessories,
the ballet slipper, platform and wedge
will remain at the top of the footwear pedestal.
Moving skyward, turbans, fedoras and headbands
will be the must-haves for your head, with bowlers
and panama hats making a sophisticated
appearance.
