Be flirty, free & have fun

The Flapper Girls of the twenties were a little naughty. They smoke, drunk and wore lots of make-up. But the clothes were fabulous! In the decade of the self-conscious women, clothes were studded with shiny decorations and had fringes everywhere. An elegant look above all!

Let’s get some Flapper Fashion back to 2012!

New Trend: Bright Blazer

Thank you Beyoncé, Olivia and Kim for promoting the bright blazer! We love the statement colours that brighten up any outfit.. and any room!
The blazers can be worn casual and chic. Wear it with  jeans and flats at day time and put your high heels on with stylish black pants for going out.

Keep the rest of your outfit low key, your bright blazer will do the work!

Olympic Look

Behind all the fancy dresses and high heels in our closet, we hide our comfy clothes. It’s a ‘secret’ outfit that we used to wear only at home,  for nobody’s eyes to see. But those days are over. This season we’re allowed to kick those sneakers everywhere!

The Olympic fever made the sporty look totally trendy and the runways were filled with models in trendy sport outfits. We love the sporty look, what about you?

Titanic’s sunken fashion

Last weekend it was exactly 100 years ago the Titanic sank. We’ve all seen the movie and saw the magnificent clothes the elite women wore. But what were exactly the fashion trends back in 1912?

One of the trends was to smooth the hips with a corset.
Over these corsets they wore beautiful evening dresses. Mainly in pale colours but lemon yellow, blue and pink were popular too. Purple on the other hand was generally avoided because it looked brown in gas light.

Dresses were decorated with elements such as pleating, draping, beading, embroidery lace and fringes. A striking thing was that the decoration was often asymmetrically placed.

It’s funny how the pale colours an decoration found their way back this summer!

Bikini Trends Summer 2012

Stylish prints are everywhere this season and the bikinis cannot stay behind! We personally are very excited about the ‘scarf-print’. All the prints that we used to see on our scarves are now printed on our swimwear.
And what do you think about all the fringes, ruffles, bright/neon colours and stitched flowers that cover our beachy wardrobe? Not always handy when jumping into the ocean, but it looks simply divine on the beach.

It is hard work to stay fashionable this summer, because wearing just a bikini doesn’t do it. Your look is not complete without a colourful bag, high sandals, a long breezy (printed) dress or a BLAZER!
The blazer worn over the bikini was spotted multiple times on the runway. Too much for you? Then focus on the accessories. This year we’re going to wear big necklaces, bracelets and scarves. Too much is not enough this season!

Daring move by the ‘Queen of Pop’

The queen of pop found herself a new craft to keep busy with. In collaboration with ALDO shoes, Madonna is launching her very first shoe collection.

The line of footwear will be part of Madge’s fashion line ‘Truth or Dare’. According to ALDO the collection has a timeless style and sex appeal. The iconic pop queen got a lot of inspiration out of the hundreds pairs of shoes she wore herself during her career. Alongside with her costume designer Arianne Phillips, Madonna designed more than sixty different models of shoes.

The Truth or Dare shoe collection will consist of comfortable flats, classy high heels and sexy over-the-knee boots, a well-known style for Madonna herself. The highly anticipated footwear hits stores as Asos, Macy’s and Nordstrom in August and will cost you about 86 to 266 euro.

In-Fashion Utrecht

Utrecht has it all! Beautiful boutiques, good restaurants and bars, the Central Museum and now -almost- its own fashion event: In-Fashion. And we say ‘almost’ because the funding is not final yet.
The organization has put her hope in the crowdfunding platform www.voordekunst.nl. If it all goes well, In-Fashion will take place on April 21.

The idea is simple: one day, one hotel (Hotel Dom), one floor and a lot of rooms, where young designers from Utrecht are offered a stage. A stage ánd several presentations and workshops, all in the name of  sustainable design, streetstyle photography, storytelling photography and innovations in fashion. You can also enjoy several fashion movies at the hotel and at movie house ‘t Hoogt.
