Razzle Dazzle;
An array of
shimmering sequins, beads and all things blingy, you’re bound to cause a scene
and stop traffic passing you on the streets! Follow the designers such as Tom
Ford and Stella McCartney who are making sequins a massive part of their AW14
collections. Embellishment enriches our wardrobes, whether it be day or night. From
barely there glimmer, to a heavy sumptuous sparkle, the entire collection offers
up a rich feast for the eyes. It’s such a lust affair!
Designer and high
street brands both have created some lavishly detailed pieces over the years,
however AW14 will be the time to shine! From a twist on the basic camisole, to
prepped up sport wear, sequins are set to drop a big bombshell on the fashion
world. The thirst for shimmer will be immense, so grab some sparkle while you
can. All aspects of the colour spectrum are allowed for this trend, however
pastels are set to be a big hit.
Why not glitz up
one of your old wardrobe items using craft shop beads and sequins to make a
totally special piece, nobody else in the entire world will be rocking? Now that’s
fashion. Grab an old shirt with a collar and a couple bags of sequins and beads
and a tube of fabric glue and hey presto, you’re already on your way to
creating an iconic statement piece. Glue on the sparkles one by one ensuring
you fill all the gaps causing big clusters for maximum impact. Why not arrange
in a pattern to gain a higher quality effect?
The Colourful Collarless
Coat;
The intense
coloration of luminosity and undertones are vital to pull off this key trend of
AW 14. What’s a coat without colour? The BRIGHTER the better! Whether it be
used to shield the harsh winter wind or a nippy spring breeze a bright,
collarless coat is vital. Deep saturation is better than muted undertones for
this trend, ten times over. Chanel and Lucas Nascimento are big players of this
trend. Chanel uses a lot of bright tweed fabrics, which look like they have
just stepped off a plane from lux city. What a way to lure us in! Celebs such
as Rihanna have also been spotted sporting this trend on the streets of
Hollywood, so it’s sure a trend us aspiring fashion legends are going to chase!
Both designer and
high street brands are nailing this trend. Topshop is currently a big lover of
the colour spectrum coat ranging from £70-£100, a little pricey but for a key
fashion item I’d say it would be an excellent investment. For a cheaper
alternative for this trend, why not visit your local charity shops or your Grandma’s
closet. Bright coats have been around for centuries drifting in and out of the
fashion spotlight however we think this time they’re here to stay. The heavier
the fabric the better, however any fabric can still be made to look
ostentatious! £10 in a local charity shop could get you a fabulous, out dated
coat which, with a little TLC, could look brand new again. How about adding new
buttons to give it a richer looking effect?
