Meadham Kirchhoff : Luella hits puberty

Since the absence of Luella, Meadham Kirchhoff have been in the spotlight at London Fashion Week.
They are teen rebellion embroidered in to their parent bought childish clothes.
Luella has obviously hit puberty.
You can see it in the designs...
The colour palettes and colourful hair are so very similar. I loved Luella and her youthful style but I must say, I love Meadham Kirchhoff more.

My love affair with Ed Meadham and Ben Kirchhoff began when I interned at Goodley PR last september. I was surrounded by the A/W 10 collection and fell in love. It is still on my to do list to make a metallic pipe cleaner crown. The Meadham Kirchoff boys know what they want and they are going to get it. Infact Benjamin himself said "I want this and we're going to do it."
Style is all about attitude and my god does this label deliver!

If you are as any bit in love with the duo as I am, yet don't have the budget to buy, well, much atall on my student budget, do not fear!
Start saving, for the boys are collaborating with Topshop again. The new range will be available in selected Topshop stores and online in April.
Here is a sneak peak!
You can also get some good deals on the main label at Browns Labels For Less. 
I have already bought myself the £90 Teddy Print T-shirt. Down from £220, what a bargain! 

ps. My LFW internship got cancelled, but it all worked out in the end, I had to work anyway. September though... here I come! xxxx

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!
