A/W 2010/2011
This seasons’ style heroines are the glamourous grunger and the dreamy librarian. Invest in a big chunky woolly cardigan, and elegant, luxurious skirts in royal blue and purple. On the catwalk, D&G teamed beautiful floral skirts with chunky ski sweaters and thin leather belts. Anything goes, but its all about mixing and mashing up texturs and warm, autumnal colours. Imagine you’ve just been at a ball all evening, its 4am in the morning, sitting on the dewy grass with your friends all you could find in the wardrobe of the stately home you hired is an oversized mens’ jumper. Thrown over your midnight blue organza ballgown you are the glamourous grunger. For style inspiration, google Michael Kors, D&G, and Marc Jacobs.
Next up we have the dreamy librarian, lost in her romantic daydream wearing an old fashioned palette of burnt orange, fawn and smoky grey. The look is bohemian, but with masculine accents, the ‘sensible’ shoes and reading glasses. Wear long, flowing dresses with black knitwear and elbow-length gloves with a chunky mohair cardigan. Hair should be worn long and flowing, not a hair straightener in sight. Designers who heralded this style on the catwalk included: Ralph Lauren and Kenzo. Have fun mashing it up!
