I know, I know. Here at Le Blow, we’re always banging on about the 90s. Well how’s this for a new decade to reference? Get the (Abigail’s) party started! The 70s ARE BACK (albeit with a little less polyester). Here’s a few reasons why The AW12 shows were HUGE for geometric prints and matching printed […]
From Madonna to K-Mid, M.I.A to err… Ozzy Osbourne, religious iconography in fashion and celebrity is nothing new. I won’t go into the ins and outs of actual worship here (that would be taking things way too seriously, right?) but the superficial fashion doctrine is this: If you like it then you should put a […]
Wearing an oversized boy’s shirt is the EASIEST way to nail looking like a total hot mess this summer, right? Think about it – you don’t even have to buy one. Simply grab some instant crisp whiteness or boyish blue striping from your own – AKA boyfriend/dad/brother’s wardrobe! A few things to avoid first: styling […]
So what the EFF do you do when you’ve bought into summer pastels and 50s shorter-than-short playsuits and the weather LITERALLY PISSES ALL OVER THEM. Eh? EH?! Don’t get mad, get streetwear (welcome) Ahhh, urban streetwear. Ever since the genius H&M Versace collaboration two seasons ago which Jessie J was literally BORN FOR (seriously, I […]
Coats and hats are going to be BIG this Autumn. Literally. Super-sized, in fact. Imagine that feeling you got wearing your mum’s coat as a kid. It may well have been a giant brooch-covered garment, smelling of Elizabeth Arden that kept tripping you up but magically, grown-up style felt in reach. By going oversized you […]
Crop tops, knicker shorts and cut-out dresses. I thought the most figure punishing of summer trends had peaked already until I noticed a sneaky little separate called the bloomer. Slowly taking old on the high street, bloomers are a micro trend for the slim of limb who want to push this season’s girly vibe to […]
Last season Freya purred in a photobooth wearing cat ears for Chanel. Victoria Beckham has just launched the sale of her new collection with cats motifs on her mannequins at Harvey Nics and now Kate’n’Lara are cosying up feline-style on this month’s Love magazine cover. Cats, it seems, are fashion’s new pet of choice. CatsChanelfashionFreyaKate MossLaura Mstyle biteVictoria […]
This morning I woke up and pulled on my donut T-shirt. I dug about in my giant fish handbag to look for my pineapple sunglasses, popped on my pom-pom slippers and set off for the office. Imagine this scenario taking place all over the country to a sped up version of the Benny Hill theme […]
Doing the We Want Your Job! feature here on Le Blow has both inspired and depressed me in equal measure, seeing fellow females being so successful at such a tender age. Olivier Rousteing, whilst obviously not a woman, is only 25 and now in the designer driving seat at Balmain, following the demise of his […]
The Mary Katrantzou S/S’12 show notes summed up the collection: Man meets machine meets mother earth, an army of petal, metal, print… And we loved the prints which ranged from vibrant florals, hazy meadows to industrial and mechanical. With her mix of rough and smooth; masculine and femine, Katrantzou’s cuts of cloth are truly amazing […]
