SPOTLIGHT ON DENIM. Altuzarra, DKNY, Paul and Joe, and Balmain.........Get the look for less.


SS14
TREND.....Denim


A new level of  denim has arrived...... 
It's grown up for SS14.

 From patchworked and chained, to battered and torn.
 This much loved classic will have you falling into the ocean of blues this season. 

  • Altuzarra : Spring/Summer 2014
.




Joseph Altuzarra's collection drew inspiration from " Boro the 

Japanese folk fabric. Literally translated means scraps of ragged 

cloth, which have been patched and repaired out of necessity

 often by poor farm workers in the dimness of the night light.

  • DKNY : Spring/Summer 2014







DKNY energy..... back where it all started with 90's streetwear.



Started in 1989 the DKNY label was inspired by Donna Karan's daughter Gaby. 
It offered a younger, more affordable, fast fashion diffusion line.




  • Paul & Joe : Spring/Summer 2014






Paul and Joe was founded by Sophie Albou in the early nineties. The label started out as a menswear collection, and in 1995 the womenswear label was added.  Incidentally, Sophie's early career was   a "sales assistant" for Azzedine Alaia in Paris......


  • Balmain : Spring/Summer 2014





Balmain, big bold and beautiful, but not one for the fainthearted!

DENIM DOGTOOTH DRESS £20 Boohoo

I absolutely love this look ....... It's a bit outside the box for me, but wearing this dress and keeping everything else simple, seems to just work. And the biggest plus is, I can wear it out for supper without having to undo a top button at the end of the night!
