Siren Song : Spring Summer 2012 Trends

by Hayley Bevan on January 10, 2012

Givenchy SS2012

The  theme of water appears to have been the canvas for the spring-summer 2012 parades. The mythical siren sang beguilingly to designers to lure them into creating homage to herself and the aquamarine and cerulean sea realm. The models came  wrapped in clothes in the colors of the seabed, rebrodées and shimmering scales at Givenchy  with its wetsuit-like feel to the collection.

Chanel SS2102

Also ribbons in the shape of waves adorning the nymphs here at Chanel we felt the definite undercurrent of a  Botticelli  sea Goddess with iridescent mother of pearl, and strings of pearls encircling waists.

Chanel SS2012

Even the catwalk was adorned with waves and sea pebbles to create a marine feel.

versace SS2012

Prints which echoed ancient pottery and the myth of Poseidon at Versace.

versace SS2012

At Versace, materials, light as sea foam floated in a harmonious aquatic carousel, and seemed to blend, as in nature with their lines and hues the with the horizon of the sea and sky.

Alexander McQueen SS2012

The underwater magic did not stop there at Mcqueen we saw the emergence of another sea goddess, the oceanic life of Gaia was as fresh sea spray on the outfits composed of corals and shells.

All in all the shows were a fabulous dive into the deep blue for the Stylists at Gabrielle Teare who can’t wait to be adding a splash bringing next season’s biggest trend into our clients wardrobes.

The Trend: The Maxi Coat

There is no escaping winter, here are the the best styles handpicked by stylists at Gabrielle Teare.

Remember the furore of last year’s Camel Coat? As always every season see the rise of a new star in the coat charts. From Celine’s long Chesterfield coat and Haider Ackermann’s theatrical floor grazing coat, it was clear at the shows that maxi coats were going to be big for AW11.

Here at Gabrielle Teare we wouldn’t be fabulous stylists if we didn’t give you some stylish advice on how to pull this trend, be aware that the most flattering shapes in this style are streamlined, and opt for a single breasted or dressing gown style. Pinstripe, grey flannel, and luxurious wool and cashmere, with clean minimal lines, are all set to make you stand out. Take a look at our stylist edits to ensure that you won’t be left out in the cold or from the style fronts this winter.

Margiela Coat

 

This wool-blend Merlot coloured coat from Maison Martin Margiela, has the fashion house’s characteristic twist. Wear with a draped blouse and straight leather trousers for a work to dinner look.

rodarte coat

The Rodarte girls did it again, for this season they infused their collection with a dramatic look, and this coat adds a touch of theatre to any outfit, channel the show styling and wear it with chiffon billowing skirts and flowing lines.

Roland Mouret

Another favourite by Monsieur Mouret  here at Gabrielle Teare, this is immaculate tailoring at its best, this hopsack-wool coat is best when worn open to show off a stunning shift dress or belted up to chinch in the waist with a pair of straight leg trousers and patent stacks.

Missoni Coat

Missoni Coat

 

This Missoni coat is absolutely stunning, the Chartreuse and White wool-blend checked pattern was one of the key looks for the Missoni A/W
show, however this statement pattern is screaming for subtle and minimal tailoring to be worn underneath.

Rick Owens Coat

Rick Owens Coat

 

An asymmetric wool-blend coat from the master of cool Rick Owens, figure flattering, grey melange, uber cool, this one wins them all, wear with a cashmere sweater and remember to team grey tailoring with rich rusty browns leathers, knee highs or shoe boots, and a matching clutch with this will look  tres tres chic.

Chloe Coat

Chloe coat

An absolutely fabulous coat from Chloe, it is the perfect “effortless but oozing elegance” statement. The fabric flows beautifully and the gold clasp on the front is the ultimate waist cincher, wear with wide pant legs and fabulous platforms.

by Hayley Bevan on August 14, 2011

Sapphire at Christopher Kane        

With the end of a fashion season almost upon us, we can only start mourning the loss of all those summer brights and neon’s that made our grey British mornings a bit more bearable. However there may be a ray of light yet, for Autumn Winter designers were focusing on a lush jewel palette “colour has become the new black” said Roland Mouret.

 Sapphire at Diane Von Fustenburg

The autumn winter collections are saturated with rich, powerful, and mesmerising jewel tones, which infuse us with happiness and liberate us. From Emeralds, to midnight Amethyst, Scarlet Ruby and Garnet, to opulent Topaz.

The White T shirt

by Hayley Bevan on June 29, 2011

The perfect white number by Stella McCartney.

So we all have one or two, it will be undoubtedly tucked away in the dark recesses of our wardrobe, as usually the limelight is selectively bestowed on the current seasons must have, or on sacred Vintage treasures. The white T-shirt has always been in its simplicity, regarded as one of the purest definitions of style, that is, if you know how and what to wear it with. In the past two seasons designers seduced us with that covetable Lux trend, this season a more modest garment emerged on the S/S runways, so much so that I have actually never seen so many Stylists, post-shows make their way to Harvey Nicholls to grab themselves the perfect white number by Stella McCartney.

 

On the other hand, I hear your thoughts, is it almost too basic? And you are right of course, it is hard to edit the look for fear under styling and looking rather boring, or to appear to be wearing the usual white t-shirt and trouser combo.

So here is how to inject a shot of uber-style in this white staple, we have pulled the hottest looks for you from this seasons collections.

Balmain

Rock it, as Balmain does tucked into leather shorts or a skirt it will make a stylish addition to your off-duty wardrobe, add sandals for a cool weekend look.

Chloe

Minimalist and pure, as Chloe shows us how to play the trend with figure hugging  clean lines perfectly tailored for a feminine finish, edit this look with lux accessories and bright-red lipstick.

Dior

This is a take on marine chic. Team it with printed shorts and add a statement satchel and cocktail ring to stay cool in the heat.

 

Jil Sander

This is the biggest trend of the summer, Colour block skirts, they  are everywhere. To make the white stand out choose a flashy coloured skirt long or short.

Max Mara

If opting for a total white look as seen at Max Mara, add a pop of colour with your belt, shoes, and sunglasses.

Work It : Stylist Styles Spring Summer 2011

by Hayley Bevan on May 17, 2011

 

They were all over this year’s S/S runways, and they caught the attention of all the Stylists who were fabulously perched on the rows, they proceeded to follow us from show to show, from Sonia Rykiel to DKNY, the Sherbet coloured blazer kept appearing.

Add a pink silk blazer to your spring collection and wear it casually with tailored trousers, and skirts, in cool or camel tones for a polished take on the trend. Shown here by Balenciaga.

The blazer is an essential when it comes to yourworking wardrobe, and we agree that you can never have too many. You can choose from mannish, double breasted, or tailored pieces. A stylist’s top tip to achieving the look, is avoiding head-to-toe sweet tones, and to opt for layers. This is lovely from Carven.

                   Another one of our favourite trends for this season is the printed skirt, From Prada’s banana skirts

                              to the feminine laced embroidered flowers at Erdem, the catwalk was awash with pattern. 

The bold prints might look daunting, but teaming them with neutral hues and simple separates, you can achieve a sophisticated and sexy look.

                                                       With all this in mind update your office look with our pick of the best ones.

Christopher Kane Stylist Reviews AW2011

by Hayley Bevan on March 3, 2011

Alexa Chung at Christopher Kane

If you wanted to experience the pure excitement of the Autumn Winter shows then there was only one place to be this year and that was Christopher Kane. Ideally you would have been sat on the front row somewhere between Alexa Chung and Yasmin Le Bon would have been sufficient for you to revel in the feeling of unexpectedness of attending London fashion week.

 

Christopher Kane

Kane’s “Liquid Collection” as he named it was all about wearable and sophisticated clothes, as with every Kane collection the designer communicated through the garments his childhood memories.

 

As the models streamed through, we all suddenly agreed that crochet is now definitely cool, the material was used on skirts and fitted cardigans in musky greens, browns, turquoise and grey, and it was boldly printed on leather skirts and tops, it peeked through plain collarless coats and jackets, making an original and unique Kane statement “keep the silhouette simple”.

 

Then came the plastic which we saw in the unusual trims that were inspired by those transparent liquid filled pencil cases of his school years, It encircled with its Blue, green and red liquid the pockets and the collars, it appeared in lines on the bodices the waist, and the edges of dresses, which on a few occasions became backless or exposed the midriff, there was a touch of gathered black netting here and there too.

 

The bags appeared in rectangular plastic clutch bags to match. With the soundtrack shifting to the sound of raindrops it was the time of sequin dresses with water drop-like appliques, in the same blue/green and red hue, shimmering past us with perfectly appointed Mary Janes.

 

It was another fantastic accomplishment for Kane who was the winner of this year’s BFC Vogue Fashion Fund, and it was evident by the overwhelming applause that emanated from the location of Camp Vogue at the show.

Jade Parfitt in one of Kane’s last season show stopping neon green ensembles had already picked out her favourites to wear to the show next year, well with the collection that was just shown I can guarantee it will be something, irrevocably cool, original and stylish, or should I say very very British.

Tom Ford : Fashion’s Uber Star

by Hayley Bevan on January 23, 2011

Beyonce at Tom Ford

On that rather wet September evening the entrance to one of Madison Avenues most luxurious boutiques was framed by an array of black oversized umbrellas,  the greeters holding them  were a vision of pure understated suaveness in their unmistakably Tom Ford Black Tie ensembles. It was here that  Ford invited a select few of the voguish clique for a secret preview of his women’s wear Spring Summer 2011 launch.

The couture style presentation was so secret that there were to be no other photographers present other than Ford’s own campaign photographer Terry Richardson. Mere mortals on the other hand had to wait almost five months for the release of the much anticipated show.

Lara Stone at Tom Ford SS2011

The small and rather intimate runway was lined with gilded bamboo chairs, it was here that Anna Wintour, Joe Zee, Nina Garcia and Caren Roitfield, took in the show. The collection had femme fatale stamped all over it, and the catwalk line up was fabulous from the current pick of the most sought after faces like Karlie Kloss and Amber Valetta to a few notables such as Julianne Moore, Marisa Berenson, and Beyoncé, “women who inspire me” as Ford later explained.

the secrecy of the show was down to Ford feeling the need not to overexpose his clothes, and therefore maintaining their freshness. The collection was seductively sashayed in front of us in that unique Tom Ford aura, Karen Elson vocals accompanied the entrance of the leopard pantsuit, suede trench, and the stunning Cobalt blue silk fringe column dress, for the luxury lover there was a lot of silk georgette, 18kt gold, and hand painted python. We were over the moon and in love with the the black and white silk tuxedos, the corsets and the peekaboo gowns, every one sure to be snapped up by red carpet walkers. The details were impeccable with hammered gold jewellery and ankle strapped stilettos. All in all it was magnificent and it was the event of the season. There aren’t many other things other than the stylish image of Tom Ford himself that would make our hearts skip a beat, but this collection definitely does.
