Alice + Olivia Spring Collection 2013

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There's an air of optimism and retro girlish glamour at the doors of Alice + Olivia this Spring. New York based designer Stacey Bendet derives her cheery inspiration from the 50's, with a set of ladylike silhouettes, cute printed cardigans, full flaired skirts, modish pants suits, candy stripes and chic shift dresses.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A rainbow of animated shades colour in this flirty collection; from bright cherry reds, apple green and canary yellow to more subtle hues of peach, powder blue and ivory. Prints come in the form of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">feminine florals, the animalistic élan of leopard and zebra and trendy</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> black and white chevron lines. This exuberant range fits the closet of the modern thinking girl with a love for vintage charm. Each piece can easily be taken from the office to an elegant night out. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The go-to brand for young Hollywood, Alice + Olivia also present a</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> beautiful selection of evening gowns that exude grace and vivacity.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

CYAN Spring 2013

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my favourite parts about fashion blogging is discovering new and innovative designers that I've never heard of before, from countries beyond the style rectangle (New York, London, Paris and Milan). Victoria Panyukova is one such designer. Hailing from Kiev in the Ukraine, this nouveau artist began the progressive fashion brand <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">CYAN</span></b> in 2012. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">CYAN preaches all that that it architectural in waves of artful shapes for Spring 2013. Inspired by the motion and streaming power of water, Victoria formulates modern pieces of art for the forward-thinking girl, proving that fashion goes further than trend and convention. The </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">tone of her 'Tsumani' themed range is set in sea blue, verdant fields of green, sandy beige and sunset orange. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chiffon, leather, jacquard and silk collide in asymmetrical designs; collaged and cut-out to create individualistic outfits that stand out from the ordinary crowd.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a glance into CYAN's Spring 2013 collection.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;

Their concept of fashion is based on wearable luxury, a neoteric sense of design & artistically engineered pieces that are modern and distinctive.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For 2013, Izmaylova flaunts geometric lines, sharp cuts and sculpted shapes in canary yellow, black, white and golden sandy beige. The razor-edged ensembles are allayed by lush fabrics like silk organza, georgette, metallic lace and ostrich feathers. Strapless built-in corsets, asymmetrical peplums, cut-and-paste pieces and sheer linear inserts are the key constituents of this stirring collection. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Click on the images for a larger view.</span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Tailored Blazers by Mlle Epaulette

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My current wardrobe 'Must Have' has to be the trendy tailored blazer; and while we've stocked up on the classic neutrals, floral prints, pastels and brights, fashion label <i>Mlle Epaulette</i> has taken a more glamourous and polished approach to the trend. The creative concept of Lebanese designer Remi Sabbah, <i>Mlle Epaulette</i> sets itself apart from the usual run-of-the-mill brands by placing exclusivity on constructing chic and tailored blazers.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For Winter 2012, Sabbah employs the luxury and opulence of sequins, Swarovski crystals, animal prints, velvet and satin in her exquisite collection. Sharp cuts, eye-catching colours and cropped at just the right length, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">these swanky tuxedo coats </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">are flattering to every figure. A dazzling addition to that little black party dress or why not upstyle a simple t-shirt and pair of jeans with one of these irresistibly elegant pieces.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A Swash Autumn 2012

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Swash London</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Fall/Winter 2012-13</b></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The latest collection by trailblazing brand <i>Swash London</i> is an imagery explosion of enchanting prints and enticing colours, set in a fantasy world where your every fashion dream is answered in the most outlandish display. The inventive duo behind the label are couple Sarah Swash and Toshio Yamanaka, who's combined creative minds have yielded an impressive clothing range for Autumn/Winter 2012, entitled 'Phantastes', modeled after the 19th century novel by George MacDonlad.</span><br /><br /><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><br /><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What sets Swash apart are their intricately hand-painted fabrics and whimsical digital silk prints that tell a story each of their own. This season, the garments illustrate a tale of unhinged antique clocks, romantic rose scented gardens, a forest filled with fauna and exotic flora, vintage mirrored wardrobes and chaise lounges, deers and dogs, partridges and pinecones. Now that sounds like the type of imaginative story that I would like to read.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The equestrian theme is coloured into life by sweet pastels, lush teals and mustard and energetic oranges. Argyle coats, knitted sweaters, swish skirts over patterned pants, embroidered bomber jackets, the sway of a fringed hem and beautifully printed scarves all make up this Regency-roused range. Adding to the quirk and curiosity are pom-pom topped hats, matching hosiery that seemingly blend into their printed surroundings, leather gloves and an assortment of handheld bags. Take a dive into the animated world of <i>Swash London</i> with their fascinating A/W 2012-13 collection...Click on image for a larger view.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
