London Fashion Week SS13: Pretty Pastels

London Fashion Week kicked off with a pretty start yesterday; going by Corrie Nielsen’s show, summer’s obsession with feminine pastels will continue to be a big trend for next spring. It’s always great to know that a trend will last more than one season (the mint green skater skirt that you bought in the summer sales will still work for SS13 – investment purchasing at its best!), but if you didn’t buy into the pastel trend last season just think of Girl Meets Dress as your sartorial saviour come next spring.

 


The week in dresses: Hunger Games special

If you haven’t heard of the Hunger Games (aka the new Twilight), where have you been?! The movie adaptation of the much-hyped book, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Elizabeth Banks, has been premiereing all over the world, giving its stars the chance to show off their fashion finery. But who worked the black and red carpet best?


A gold star has to go to Jennifer Lawrence, who showcased her style credentials in three stunning dresses. In LA, a futuristic Prabal Gurung gold lame gown ensured she outshone her co-stars, keeping it daring with a thigh high split and cut-out details. London saw Jennifer go one step further with a handmade, one of a kind Ralph Lauren crocodile skin halter-neck – it took over 800 hours to to hand bead the frock! She kept things understatedly chic in Paris with a fierce, form-fitting zip Tom Ford frock – the sexy was brought back, literally, with a completely open back. Ladies and gentleman, Jennifer Lawrence has arrived.


Zesty and packing a punch, Elizabeth Banks seemed to take her colour palette straight from the fruit bowl! She zinged in orange beaded Versace at the LA premiere – not sure about the First Lady style hair though, we think an edgier ‘do would’ve worked wonders. London was treated to a citrus yellow Bill Blass backless gown topped off with Jimmy Choos, naturally whilst in Paris, an embellished Marc Jacobs berry-toned frock wowed the crowds.

But who’s style do you like best?


Introducing House of Rena

Girl Meets Dress is thrilled to be the exclusive UK stockist of House of Rena’s debut collection. Influenced by their own personal style, designers and sisters, Reem Kanj and Natalya Kanj
have created dresses that exude both youth and glamour. Each piece has been made and embellished using the most intricate and luxurious fabrics and materials such as georgette, chiffon, jersey and Swarovski crystals worthy of any Hollywood starlet.

We had a chat with designers Natalya and Reem during their hectic week of their  launch


Why did you choose Girl Meets Dress as your first UK stockist?
We have been fans of Girl Meets Dress for so long, we couldn’t think of a better e-commerce site to introduce Rena via. The concept is genius and the access to beautiful dresses could not get more exciting or simple.

What type of events should our customers wear your dresses to?

Customers could wear our dresses to pretty much any event they wish to make a statement at. Be it a subtle or a ‘look at me’ statement. Weddings, awards, parties and pretty much and other event on your social calendar.

What were you doing before House of Rena?
Before House Of Rena Natalya and I were working hard on my Fashion blog FiveFiveFabulous.com, in fact I still work hard on that everyday. We’re good at multi-tasking! I also was studying at London College of Fashion and received my BA in surface Textiles in July 09.

How would you characterise your own fashion style?
We’re both high street lovers, we tend to only spend a lot of money on high end pieces when it comes to the key items of an outfit. We will carry designer bags but be head to toe in Forever 21 or Topshop.


Pure romance: Chanel Couture SS/10

Lagerfeld is well known for his love and frequent use of blacks and whites in his collections, particularly black – but this season he seems to have turned a new corner and we see it in his Spring/Summer 2010 Couture collection.

With not a single black evening dress in sight on Chanel’s SS/10 Couture runway, we took a strong vibe from the King of fashion himself that colour is the way to go for next season and we’re not just taking beautiful and bold bright but shades that make your mouth water because they make you think of sherbet, candy and cake frosting.

Chanel’s Spring/Summer runway featured evening dresses in  acid yellow, candy-pink, fluorescent lime hues, champagne and cream; and those are the one’s that we will be keeping an eye out for and clashing or coordinating with next season. The collection named ‘Neon Baroque’ presented some highly impeccable work of craftsmanship and we love the re-vamped tailored pieces and the drift from the classic Chanel but still maintaining a reference to the brands signature.

It was a mix of romanticism meets space-age and the detailing against the palette looked magnificent. Silver thread ran through the seems of the collection pieces like hot mercury and thousands of handmade silk roses cascaded as a cape over a silver-jewelled shift. The Chanel girl looked super-sweet in this collection but also young, sophisticated and elegant. A young girl with nothing but class and great taste in clothing. Lagerfeld really hit all the right notes with this one and we absolutely can’t wait to strip-off winter’s dark and glummy shades in exchange for dresses in pretty pastels and powdery shades.

As for the grand finale, a groom in a metallic silver suit steps out to walk his bride down the runway in a silk ball gown with a jewelled bodice and sleeves followed by metres and metres of gorgeous tulle caressed into ruffled clouds forming the train.
