Ahhh, so London Fashion Week was amazing! Of course a really inspiring trip with loads of styling ideas from the fash pack around and about at LFW for our current season (as always an abundance of black, with khaki, Camel and all tones of grey thrown in). P.S Our top five shoe guide last week was spot on, with a great mix of all that was mentioned (especially laced ankle boots and riding boots). Of course, what we were mainly there for was an exciting inside scoop on what's coming up for next spring/summer11 from the catwalk shows and exhibition.
L'Armoire owner Melissa managed to catch the beautiful show from Jasper Conran. Going back to his roots for his own high end collection, he followed the fifties vibe with nipped in waists and clean simple cuts (a little bit Sandra D) in summery sherbet colours.
As the current American TV series Mad Men is having such an influence on the fashion world at the moment we thought we would give you a little helping hand injecting some of that sassy and oh so feminine feel into your wardrobes.
We say bow one of Liberty's silk scarves to add that sixties feel to our classic grey Malene Birger's 'Valiliy' curve shift dress.
See 'The Liberty Way To Tie A Scarf'' to get this look. The Bow Tie; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIPc9lTfWtI
These days this look is totally work appropriate, but if you are a Joan Holloway devote (played by the curvy Christina Hendricks), wear doing those daily house hold chores..., (or maybe not!).
When we look back at different style decades, there is always one look that seems to be totally timeless and could fit into any year since Chanel first made its stamp on fashion. Of course its the classic tweed jacket that you can wear over anything, for almost any occasion. Here at L'Armoire we have the perfect substitute in Malene Birger's 'Jasmia' short black and grey jacket with chain detail on the pockets. We've styled it with an American Vintage simple black jumper dress, but will look just as good over a clean white tee-shirt and jeans.
Also..., Our outfit of the week;
American Vintage charcoal melange knit
Malene Birger grey leopard print 'Dellisha' scarf
Liberty of London raspberry soft 'Ianthe' clutch
Malene Birger light grey 'Cenna' jeans
