That 70’s Revival

The comforting thing about fashion is that it often repeats itself. As much as we enjoy the innovation of forward thinking designers, it is always a pleasure to see the return of certain beloved fashion trends. (However, some should be left in the past. Stay away 1980s shoulder pads.) For 2015, fashion lovers can expect to see a revival of the 70s within womens fashion.

Prints and more prints

With a 1970s inspired look, colorful and fun prints are one of the most important elements. For those of you normally hiding behind a monochromatic palette, this is your opportunity to branch out. Pair a daring print with an Earth tone. Still nervous about wearing a bold design? Wear a fun scarf or accessory to add a little pop.

Own your flare

When people think back to this decade, there is one memorable trend that stands out the flare. Now, dont worry. Many of todays flares are not equivocal to the ones found in humiliating, vintage pictures or your old Halloween hippy costume. The subdued flare or boot cut pant can be worn at home or to the office. They are quite flattering and work well with a feminine, fitted blouse. A high-tapered waist creates a pretty silhouette, which can be more forgiving than the ever popular skinny.

Pump it up!

Platforms are back. To be honest, they never truly left. With each season, there typically seems to be some version of this elevated shoe. In the 1970s, these heels were ideal for the popular floor-length maxi and peasant dresses. During the winter months, you may have opted for an updated, platform boot. Welcome the warmer weather with stylish platform sandals. For many, the chunky heel is a much-welcomed relief from the stiletto!

All that fringe

Of course, suede has been making its way down the runway. What makes it so fun? The fringe. Its a wonderful finishing touch to any jacket or handbag. Designer dresses and skirts used fringe for its peek-a-boo effect. Its daring without being too revealing. When purchasing a suede or leather item, it is important to take the cleaning costs into consideration. Regular, quality maintenance is the answer in protecting your investment.

Keep it Short Or long, long LONG

Welcome back micro minis. When it comes to this skirt length (or rather lack of length), it is important to keep a few things in mind. Is this workplace acceptable? Can you move about without revealing too much? When in doubt, you can opt for the minis cousin, the skort. These fun, little shorts resemble micro mini skirts but allow for a bit more modesty. If you are looking for a more professional look, you may wish to stay with last years maxi dresses. They are still very in so feel free to pick up a few more. Maxi dresses that reach the ground are perfect just dont forget your favorite pair of heels.

Its OK to indulge

What many lovedand still love about the 1970s is the silhouettes. They are generally less defined and more forgiving than the form fitting garments of decades past. Peasant dresses and blouses allow for greater comfort especially in the warmer months. While they are elegant enough for a night out, these light and breezy pieces are also ideal for a walk in the park or a summer day picnic.

As with any decades fashion, the trends are not meant for everyone. Designers do their best to create stylish garments that should work with most body shapes and lifestyles. However, fashion is simply not just about what is available. You have to feel comfortable and confident. To avoid wearing a costume, pair one or two trendy pieces with a more classic look. Keep in touch with the 70s minimalist approach. Pack away your Spanx, tone down your makeup routine and think looser silhouettes. Sunnier days are ahead.

The History And Application Of Merino Wool

Merino wool is not a commonly known wool that is used to produce a high quality piece of clothing. But what is merino wool and how is it sourced, and how is it different from traditional wools?

Merino is an influential breed of sheep that is well known for its quality wool. These sheep are regarded as having the finest and softest wool, when compared to all the different breeds of sheep.

The History
An unknown fact is that more than half of the world’s sheep population are descendants from merino sheep, or from a merino cross breed. This breed originated from Spain. Sheep are mainly traded for their meat and for wool, with the merino being chosen and traded for their wool, specifically. This can also be a result of them having much smaller bodies than other breeds. Australia and New Zealand and many other countries are now considered major exporters of the wool, along with Spain.

Originally the term ‘Merino’ would strictly mean wool that is from Spanish merino sheep. But since other countries are providing high quality wool also, the term has been broadened further.

Applications & Current Uses
Merino wool is often described as springy and tightly crimped, although there are different strains that produce different classifications of wool. The different classifications can be divided into medium, fine medium, fine, superfine and ultra fine.

The wool has many different applications throughout the clothing industry. This ranges from high-end fashion to running clothing. Not forgetting that it is also widely used within skiing, hiking, cycling and mountain climbing clothing. It has become a main choice because of its ability to provide insulation and because of its superiority over other wools and fabrics.

The reason for it being used so widely is because of the properties of the wool, when compared to other fabrics. Here’s a short list of the benefits:

– A high warmth to weight ratio, compared to other wools.
– Contains antibacterial properties.
– One of the softest wool types available.
– It’s ability to maintain warmth when wet.
– Great at regulating body temperature.
– Stretches but maintains its shape.
– A breathable material.

The fashion industry has also not overlooked the additional benefits that the wool can provide their clothing. For example a large number of high quality women and mens merino jumpers that are 100% pure are very popular, for the benefits listed above.

Another reason that is often overlooked is the sensitivity of the wool. Because it is a natural fibre, it is soft on the skin and will reduce the irritation for people who have sensitive skin.

Who Needs Color

Who needs color?

I’ve been talking a lot recently about how color is one of the big trends right now in mens fashion. Well, it’s not just me – everyone has been talking about colour. -Crayon bright- color is what I heard someone describe it as recently, which is cool way of describing exactly how vivid and eye-catching the use of color is on the runways and catwalks of the world as well as in our favorite high street stores. This season is all about colour. But then there’s white. It’s a bit of an interesting dichotomy and I’m not going to pretend to really understand it, but at a time when we’re seeing a lot of colour and contrast in mens fashion, we’re also seeing a lot of designers devote their collections on outfits that are just monochrome visions of white. This is not just a summer separates thing, this is white upon white in different textures and fabrics. White as the opposite of all things colour. What confuses me a little bit is that sometimes we are getting it in the same collection – a string of crayon bright colour vibrancy and then boom, this is how we do it in white. In this article we take a look at how you can make bold statements in white.

Getting spiritual?

V magazine (which I love) recently ran an editorial looking at the white trend in mens fashion and concluded that it reflected a nod to -spiritualisation- in menswear. I’m not totally sure that I get the soulful feel from an all white ensemble, but check out this amazing jacket from Air that was featured in the shoot by Ben Lamberty and modeled by German model Bastian Thiery who is featuring in a lot of editorial work at the moment.

Snow leopard camouflage

I really love Ksenia Shnaider’s white on white camouflage effect used in the FW14 collection. This is a label from the Ukrainian husband and wife team of Ksenia Marchenko and Anton Schnaider – she’s a fashion designer and he is a graphic designer. Their current collection is kind of a blend of military uniforms, sportswear, camouflage, and white. All bang-on trend right now. Genius.

White can be wrong

An all white outfit can be a bit of a challenge to wear – any time that I’ve attempted it I seem to spill coffee or red wine, sit somewhere without first checking that it’s spotlessly clean, or order spaghetti bolognese. Apart from those practicalities, there is also the risk that you look like you have just escaped from some sort of psychiatric facility or a science fiction movie from the 1970s. All of these problems seem to have been embraced by new label MER (a collaboration from Federico Frotto Scuttie (an Italian from Uruguay) and Attila Lajos (from Hungary) – their connection is that they both studied in Vienna. Their SS15 collection is beautifully conceptual and features a lot of white on white, but somehow it screams science-fiction psycho more than street-smart swagger.

Celebrity Styling

You don’t have to look too far beyond the gossip magazines to see a lot of our favourite male celebrities effortlessly rocking the all white look. From Soulja Boy to Kanye – everybody is doing it.

Embrace your summer style god and step out set to dazzle in an all white ensemble. Just don’t order the spaghetti bolognese.
