The 4 Major Trends for Dresses Spring / Summer 2011

It seems all heads were in sync whilst designing for this season, the past few seasons, since the recession struck, trends have not been so easy to identify but this year the job was, well, a piece of cake.


We have all sat in the bath tub pretending to be in a Sofia Coppola film which makes this trend a dream come true. Lux, Mary, Bonnie, Cecilia, Theresa; dress like your favourite Lisbon sister in innocent 70s style. Pastels, florals, whites and maxis are just some of the keys things to look for in your summer wardrobe, and if you wanted to go a step further you can even write Kevin on all your bras and panties, only to have your mum bleach them out of course.


So wearable its almost a second skin, all shades of nude were present on the catwalks for this season. Whether you are pale or tanned you will be able to find the right shade for you, but make sure it is floaty or simple, you don't want a body con to make you look naked when seen from far away. That would just be socially unacceptable.


Perfect for work wear, strip back to basics with a simple shift dress or maybe something immaculately tailored, but patterns and embellishments are strictly forbidden. Worth the investment since its becoming a classic, and you certainly won't mind wearing it again and again.


Just as you were starting to feel starved of true bold colour this trend hits the big time. Get Tangoed this season as orange was one of the hottest colours, along side reds and yellows. Or perhaps go Neon like Christopher Kane with a hot pink or green, but whatever your favourite rainbow colour, make sure it makes a statement!

Blow me a kiss, simple as this.

Luella S/S 10 : mixed emotions :) :( :| @ ! :S :o





Its very wearable, but lacking creativity. Perhaps a little simple for me? Im not sure. There are some really wierd unflattering silhouettes used aswell. I haven't posted them, these are just the ones I like, but if you think youve got big hips you stand no chance. To me this seems like a mixture of House of Holland S/S 09, See by Chole and some old Luella designs from way back to the beginning of the decade. Well I guess thats the recession for you.
Not her best.

(My Favourites were the 2008 collections. S/S 08 will be available at London Fashion Weekend [or should be due to my calculations, and in times of recession I'm sure Luella needs to make as much money as possible so should be there], and I am going to get some :DDDDDD. Sexy Grannies saved by Superheros and Witches of the West. What could be better?)

I can't say much about the House of Holland collection either. He has tweaked old designs and stuck house pictures on normal items of clothing. The only things I like are the 'OLD' 'NEW' 'BORROWED' t-shirts and shirts. I might buy a white t-shirt and make one of those myself.
Another disapointment.


Now for the good news...

Christopher Kane S/S 10 : put a spell on me.




He is really growing on me. I love his stuff. I love this pattern; it reminds me of picnics and tea parties :)

My top tip? Buy pastels in the sales for a good bargin.
