Snow White

Richard Nicoll 

    Let's take on spring/summer's biggest trend - white. We have seen a big white-out in s/s collections designers like Richard Nicoll, Rochas, Simone Rocha and Alexander Wang . White is no surprise for the summer season, though in the past few years it was considered perhaps too obvious and did not feature as much as we would have liked. For Spring Summer 2013 white is everything.

Simone Rocha

    Purity and simpleness of white is what has drawn many designers to it. We have to detox our wardrobes from crashing prints and deep burgundy shades, as summer comes our way. Of course, it would a little bit premature to white-out our wardrobes just yet. Although it is good way to start with a pair of white heels or maybe a white bodycon dress, worn with your hair tied back with a simple gold cuff and  to top it off; red lips? Sounds minimalistic, but just enough to make a spring/summer fashion statement.

Moncler Gamme Rouge

   White is the big colour of the season, on coats, on accessories, on trousers, shirts and dresses. For minimalism-lovers like myself, it is a trend worth exploring. Clean cut shape white dresses and coats will be this summer's craze.

Rochas

American Apparel Dream

     Basically, my whole wishlist at the moment contains all of American Apparel's stock. I'm in love with American Apparel's simplicity. It has all the fashion basics and I want them all. Let's be honest, no one has enough highwaisted shorts or circle skirts; it's what you build your outfits on. Or you can just chose to wear    American Apparel's easy jeans and turtle neck top and still manage to look effortlessness fashionable and hot. Effortlessly fashionable and hot should be American Apparel's new name.

 Also, I love American Apparel's lookbooks. The photoshoots are natural, the models are unconventionally beautiful and flexible. Simplicity at it's best. So here are my favourite American Apparel's items/ads + my wishlist.

P.S I'd love to be an american apparel model ugh.

spring/summer 2013 trend - solarplexus and cut-out dresses

Michael Kors (solarplexus)

    If you're looking for a new hot s/s trend fresh from the catwalk then solarplexus is yours! You're probably wondering what "solarplexus" is and how it is related in any way to fashion, as it sounds something like you'd find in an astronomy book. The solar plexus is an area of the body near the base of the sternum. Solar plexus has also a spiritual dimension according to Hinduism. 

   
  There has been a lot of solarplexus' on show at New York fashion week especially in collections of Michael Kors, Badgley Mischka and Narisco Rodriguez. So, if you want to show a bit of flesh but still leave your pins covered, solarplexus cut-out dresses are a great choice for a walk around the beach or a summer party. Solarplexus dresses are elegant, yet sexy and summery. 

Michael Kors (cut-out)

Alexander Wang

   

Alexander Wang

 Cut-out dresses,bikinis,tops and whatnot are back in trend as seen on Alexander Wang's s/s 2013 collection. As you may know Alexander Wang is becoming the new king of New York fashion – if it isn't already confirmed so. If you like minimalism and have an aesthetic approach to clothes, then you will love Wang's s/s collection, as it's full of clean cut shapes and black and whites. With cut-out dresses you can still be sexy and seductive, whilst leaving the rest up to somebody's imagination.
