Key Looks for Summer 2008
Swing into FlowersFrom Paris to Milan and across to London, the key look that bloomed on Europe’s fashion catwalks was floral. Creating this season’s key trend will be simple thanks to a dazzling array of floral dresses available at most fashion retailers. Every kind of fabric imaginable has been printed with flowers. Dramatic, bold, pretty, electric colour, pastel, tailored, floaty or sheer.There’s a look and style to suit everyone whatever your shape or size. From the leg-baring mini-dress to the floor-sweeping maxi-dress, this style is utterly feminine and very sexy.If full-on floral isn’t your thing, keep on trend by accessorising with a bloom clutch and matching sling-back heels or try adding some flowers to your hair.Everyone has a favourite flower and this summer, you can wear it too!

Cruise into Black and White...If ever there was a look to totally contrast ‘Flowers’, the ‘Black and White’ fashion direction couldn’t be more obvious! This look is all about style, cut, form and shape. Black and white is back on the fashion colour palette and brings sophistication to summer dressing. Whilst somewhat structured for a summer fashion look, it also has a casual side to its personality.Dresses feature black and white prints that elegantly drape all shapes and sizes. Blouses are sheer and low cut. Lightweight jackets and vests nip at the waist and pants are worn baggy but cut in true Hepburn style. Hats also make a feature of this look, making a statement as much as on the practical side of keeping the sun off one’s face! Accessories mirror the theme but give way to the odd colour punctuation that’s primarily red, pink, blue, or whatever takes your fancy really.To finish your black and white look, deep berry-red lips are a must! |
