Soft Pop // Minimal mini lookbook

M I C R O   T R E N D   -   S O F T   P O P 

So many different types of images surround me here in the studio. Professional images taken by the photographer during a lookbook photoshoot, inspirational images gathered in the build up to designing a collection, product listing images, behind the scenes snaps . . . it's never ending. Last month I took just over 600 photographs here in the studio! 

When all these different styles come together it starts to become clear that micro trends accumulate across collections. Pastels will never get old, this combined with minimal hand drawn watercolour elements and bold statement evil eye motifs . . . the soft pop trend comes to life!

Upper East Eyelash Portfolio Clutch Bag

This new 'Upper East Eyelash' print is served with a side of girlyness and happyness, as Audrey Hepburn famously said 'Happy girls are the prettiest'.

As it's also a monochrome and minimal-esque style print I've decided to keep one for myself . . . all in the name of street style research of course! I love that the back of the bag offers an entirely different look, this one being a hand painted polka dot pattern which again fits seamlessly in with my minimal obsession.

So before I snap it on a day out somewhere I thought I'd share these snaps of the items cluttering up my studio. These light grey heeled pumps from H&M are waiting to be walked out to lunch and were an absolute steal at £14.99.

Rose gold items appear to be scattering themselves around the place too, shop all the items here:

SS16 Urban Surfside || The Lookbook

SS16   U R B A N   S U R F S I D E 

I teamed up with Art Direction MA student Anže Ermenc to create the SS16 lookbook 'Urban Surfside'. The collection brings together iconic motif prints such as the 'evil eye' logo which I hand painted in the studio along with texturised type seen in the Mayfair Coconut print. I've been massively inspired by 'Upper East Side' interior-luxe trends that are emerging via home décor blogs and this has really filtered through to the new range of cushion covers available at the e-boutique and Etsy store. Amalgamated within the interior themes are beachy boho indigo's, seaside pastels and of course . . . minimal marble.

Pleats, folds, layering . . . what more could you ask for? Brand designer Hanako Maeda says the collection was inspired by Japanese arts and crafts. I'm obsessed with the soft colour palette and relaxed styling

London Fashion Weekend || perspex heels, prosecco & pop ups

Me and fashion savvy Kate Millar popped along to experience London Fashion Weekend at the Saatchi gallery last month. Life being what it is has meant I've only just got round to checking out the millions of snaps we took. 

Before heading into the exhibition we dined at Manicomio which is situated in 'Duke of York Square', a bustling little area that I'll certainly be heading back to. 

The Saatchi halls were converted to pop up stores, a mix of well known fashion brands and emerging labels were available to buy and many fashionistas were traipsing around with huge London Fashion Weekend shopping bags. I loved the selection by JS Lee, the grey coat below particularly caught my eye, and I also really enjoyed looking around eclectic Swiss based fashion brand The Backyard.

We headed to the May Fair Kitchen afterwards for the official LFW afternoon tea, there were big boots to fill after our insanely amazing Berkeley hotel Prêt-à-Portea last year!
