    Trends Spring/Summer 2010: Brights

    Sunday, February 28th, 2010

    Designers looked to art for their Spring/Summer colour palette.  Paul Smith’s pinks and vermilion (orange to you and me), Proenza Schouler’s colbalts and greens, Viktor & Rolf and Andrew Gnu rocked yellow and Diane von Furstenberg rocked them all together! 

    Check out our brights such as ‘Yessie’ in orange and brown check. (Yessie can also be worn as a skirt with a white vest, hey presto two looks in one, and less luggage!!!)  Checks are big too this season.

     

     

    How to wear Brights:

     

    *mix it up – Don’t be afraid to pair brights with busy brocades and rich textures.

    *don’t go matchy-matchy – try coral shoes with an emerald dress, a la Lanvin.

    *smile!!! these eye-popping hues are mood elevators!! (we could all do with a bit of that!)

    Team with peacockish jewellery with clusters of coloured stones. Check out our ‘Eelskin’ clutch in bright colours

    Trends Spring/Summer 2010: Nudes and Underwear as Outerwear

    Sunday, February 28th, 2010

     

    Of all the trends for Spring/Summer 2010 that were evident on the catwalks of the world, my two favourite were Nude and Underwear as Outerwear!!  Nude ruled at Lanvin, Antonio Berardi, Stella McCartney and Fendi, replacing black and grey as our colour staples.  Preen, Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney and Dior.

     

    For day team khaki or cream pants or jeans and a soft leather jacket; for evening how about a sexy draped shoulder dress or how about the ‘Garan’ dress below, Nude and Underwear as Outerwear in one look.  Dior teamed their lacey slip with a short trench coat to great effect. 

     

    How to wear ‘Nudes’:

     

    *team lighter more feminine pieces with modern tailoring such as a work suit.  

    *experiment with the full palette: mix different tones.

    *buy jackets and tops that complement YOUR skin tone. 

     

    How to wear ‘Underwear as Outerwear’:

     

     

    *stick to a palette of black, stone, nude and taupe.

    *mix with tailored pieces by day.

    *add suede and leather in neutral shades for an urban feel and to play down the feminine connotations.

    Team with matte lipstick in coral.  A dusting of bronzing powder adds a subtle hint of colour and prevents you looking washed out!

    Monday, February 1st, 2010
    Mimi was founded in 2001 by London based designer Mimi Berry. The original Mimi store is situated on Cheshire Street (just off Brick Lane) and is home to Berry’s studio where the entire Mimi collection is designed and housed.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    A graduate of Central Saint Martins, and regular exhibitor at London Fashion Week, Berry has acquired an international reputation for her commitment to classic craftsmanship and stylish understated design. The Mimi store with its wooden floors, gilded mirrors, traditional English haberdashery cabinets and industrial light fittings, is an eclectic feast for the eye and a treat for any handbag collector.
     

     

     

     

    Each season Mimi launches a new collection for both men and women, which includes everything from sleek weekend bags, sturdy satchels and gorgeous clutch bags, to a diverse selection of ladies leather purses. The range uses beautiful colors throughout, including scarlet reds, yellows, rich browns and bright metallics. All Mimi pieces are made from exquisite Italian leather and are manufactured in the United Kingdom to ensure the highest production quality and ethical standards.

    Mimi sells in select boutiques in London, the UK and Europe, as well as internationally in the US, Japan and Australia.

     

     

    In 2007 Berry was commissioned by Tate Britain to design a unique collection of leather bags, purses and cardholders to be sold exclusively at Tate shops. The Mimi For Tate collaboration was so successful that the range remains ongoing with new styles launched seasonally.
