FASHION WEEK
I don't normally sit and analyse fashion week or trends for that matter - to me fashion and style are down to the individual and what fits the personality and body type of each person. HOWEVER as images of SS15 Fashion Week keep popping up through magazine newsletters and social media I can't help but notice a little 'trend' that seems to be everywhere on the catwalks. It all started with a great big smile and a flutter of excitement that only your inner child can experience, the kind of elation I get when we are rummaging through piles of second hand clothes and our eyes are suddenly greeted with a vintage wonder that we know will excite our customers just as much. It all started with one photo:
This look is courtesy of Sibling and the entire catwalk album is definitely worth a glimpse, just for the fabulous head gear because the clothes leave a lot to be desired. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you should all go out and get a massive bow to stick on your head (first of all the practicality of it is just not humanly possible) but if you wish to do so I would be the first to commend you for it. What these head pieces did manage to do however is bring to my attention the sheer volume of bows and consequently knots that were present on the rest of the catwalks and this look is definitely something I am a fan of. Whether as a loosely tied belt or part of the fabric itself this carefully orchestrated detail will definitely add that extra 'je ne sais quoi' to any outfit. So here are my picks of the best knots and bows on show to get you inspired:
SIBLING
BURBERRY PRORSUM
STELLA JEAN
DELPOZO
SPORTMAX
BOTTEGA VENETA
ZIMMERMAN

JONATHAN SAUNDERS
