BASSO AND BROOKE

Basso and Brooke From the Front Row: London Fashion Week : Spring Summer 2012

Basso and Brooke Spring Summer 2012

Basso and Brooke, pioneers of digital printing took it a stage further with fabulously exotic prints. GabrielleTeare.Com and Fashiontv Rashmi Ray and I had front row seats.

The colours were bright and then swung to autumnal muted which was difficult for the brain to process as all the prints were wild!

Here is an example of a beautifully cut summer maxi which would look great on a hot summer’s night. Lovely turquiose contrasts with bright pinks and greens.

This autumnal theme dress rocked with bright orange, corals and grey would suit any yellow/olive skinned complexion.

This bright turquoise dress would create a great impression as an alternative work dress.

What to wear on a date : Valentines Special

by Gabrielle on February 3, 2010

Michael Kors SS10

With Valentine’s Day approaching what to wear on a date looms high on all our radar’s. As a Personal Shopper I am continually on the lookout for dream dresses that transform and make us feel like a goddess. Look at this superb, flattering Michael Kors Goddess dress. Stunning, this works best on women over 5 `6”.

Givenchy SS10

My favourite collection is…… Givenchy. The nautical theme is superb, impossible not to make a movie star entrance in this. First impressions count as we make decisions on people in the first 30 seconds of meeting them.

Givenchy SS10

This is another gorgeous Givenchy dress with lycra to hold you in, it looks amazing on curvy women and flatters bigger breasts.

Moschino SS10

Moschino make great dresses and suits for hourglass women and this is no exception Italian Chic here we come!

Burberry SS10

For those with great legs a Burberry mac in shell pink feminine, flirty and sexy too.

Basso and Brooke

For the very slim this exuberantly coloured dress will add needed curves.

Mary Katrantzou

The trend for graphic prints as shown by Mary Katrantzou now at the new 4th Floor Harvey Nicks.

Matthew Williamson SS10

For the curvy, try Matthew Williamson’s wonderful feminine number.

From the high street Zara have produced a fantastic copy of this classic style Celine skirt. Also at Zara and selling out as we speak is a wonderful nautical black and white sweater with Balmainesque embellished shoulders. This is very chic and an absolute bargain. Great worn with Emporio Armani black sparkly jeans.

25TH LONDON FASHION WEEK :TREND ANALYSIS OPTICAL ILLUSION

by Giorgia Musci on September 27, 2009

Boru Aksu SS10

25^th London Fashion Week Anniversary: I was waiting for the fashion designers coming back “ home” after years of absence, front rows full again by big fashion industry names ( Anna Wintour, Vogue USA & Franca Sozzani, Vogue ITALIA in primis) , celebrities, sumptuous parties.

Basso Brooke SS10

And show after show, the feeling I had was that the “Londoners” decided to celebrate this important event on the runway as well, catalysing the crowd.

Issa SS10

It is impossible the attention of the viewers has not been attracted by the singularity of fabrics: they take life building the silhouette garments, in particular little dresses, creating optical effects extremely intriguing.
