SERGE DE NIMES SS15 LAUNCH

Following his spiritual AW14 collection "the wolf within" this week Proudlock unveiled his  SS15 collection.The unisex collection consisted of bold lines, symbols and geometric patterns and reminded me of urban tribal wear, pieces to suit the varied creative appreciators of Serge De Nimes- An international collection of cool kids- united by their love of art, expression and freedom.

The collection was launched at the Hoxton Hotel Apartments with an intimate event which had an old school house party vibe. Biggie, 2Pac and Outkast was on the playlist and the grand finale of the event was a MC performance by UK rapper Mikill Pane.

The Collection

Coast SS15 Preview.

If you know me at all you will know that I am a huge fan of Coast. Statement drama pieces that transform an ordinary city stroll show stopping extravaganza- what's not to love? Far from the occasional bridal wear indulgence, Coast offers statement pieces which transform the everyday ordinary outfit to outstanding. I have been campaigning for women to use some imagination, embrace their fabulosity and bring high drama items from Coast into their everyday lives for a while now. Go nuts! SS15 sees, statement singles, that can be worn together or alone, accessorised with a t-shirt or dressed up with diamonds, the combinations are as endless as they are fearless.

Think Carrie Bradshaw, from Sex In The City, never the wallflower, she was known for her high drama extravagant pieces, styled with flair. Who says you need an occasion to be fabulous?

SS15 Coast collection:

Simple Lux.

Simple Lux enjoys soft pastels, pretty pinks, bashful blues and complimenting creams, occasionally embellished with gemstone details, luxurious lace and shimmering sparkles. Despite all this the collection still manages to be refreshingly light, this part of the collection sees understated easy elegance personified with unique pieces, which stand out on their own whilst simultaniously possessing an elegant subtlety that enables them to be worn together with other items in the collection without clash.

Boohoo SS15 Preview

with Princess Anna-Anastasia! 

I had the pleasure of getting acquainted with boohoo.com's SS15 collection, and the brilliant team behind it during their SS15 preview last week. With a photo-booth, amazing music, ice cream and champagne the atmosphere was bustling, vibrant and fun & did justice to the collection that surrounded it.

Split into separate themed categories, the collection was created to reflect SS15's  trends and the diverse, rapidly changing interests of the boohoo fan base.
What I personally loved was that is each of the varied collections with in the SS15 collection had me picturing a different summer adventure. From Coachella in 'Wild West' to glamourous Miami summer nights in 'Poolside' and NYC clubbing in 'Geo Clash' the collection had me pining for the good times of summer.


Art Class,
Brilliant stand out pieces for statement city show stopping. I fell in love with this coat, and I couldn't believe how reasonably priced it was at £30.00

Culture Clash: 

The Clubbing Must Have. For your alter ego:  Think bright colours, ethnic prints and lots of embelishment.

Wild West: Perfect festival wear

Just look at that beautiful embroidered detailing!

Geo Clash

Stand out Bold, monochrome and geometric pieces to make any outfit outstanding.

Poolside: 

Floral prints with asian influence. Pyjama style silks and glittery sequined pieces, excellent for hot days in exotic places & glamourous late nights out in tropical climates.

Puritan: 

Fresh & feminine. For dreamy days in the country or  cruising around the hills of LA <3

Cotton lace top jumpsuit

Love these embroidered denim shorts!

Boohoo FIT

A new and bang on trend addition, the Boohoo Fit collection. I had the pleasure of meeting the innovative 20 something  designer, Sarah Cormak, who was the creative force behind this stunning 90s revival collection which includes all the hallmarks of that fresh era, with an updated noughties twist. The result? A unique street wear collection, which is as fashion forward as it is practical.

I love this blue snakeskin print on  this crop top shell suit.
