On the Fringe

31/12/2013

Altuzarra threw a Spanish twirl on their runway this season and boom!, a new trend is born. This look has been lurking about for a few seasons, but now it is official…for spring, throw a bit of drama into the mix with some fringed looks…and look, Audrey managed to do exactly the same…way back in the 50’s! You can also be savvy and incorporate two looks in one like Rodarte did on their runway: cowboy belt and white fringes! Team this with snake skin boots and you are in the wild, wild west.

We found a few great dresses for those not willing to break the piggy bank quite yet…try these on for size from Asos! Toughen the look up with military boots and chunky necklaces...

Spring Has Sprung!

With the spring season ahead, we have indeed been doing our homework and have assembled all the major looks and trends for the upcoming season. While flexing our investigative fingers, we discovered that almost all of the looks could have been worn (and in some cases, have been worn) by this celebrity. No other actress has enamoured the masses with charm and style like Audrey Hepburn and while Breakfast At Tiffany’s borders on the cliché, it was a milestone fashion-wise with the combined efforts of Audrey and fashion house Givenchy.

It is in this spirit that we, here at Dashing George, declare the spring season 2014 as the ‘Audrey Hepburn’ period…watch this space for the new looks and see how a bit of Audrey lies at the centre of it all!

Eye of the Tiger

With the pairing of Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, Kenzo has gone from strength to strength since 2011. For all the fashion-insiders, these two are no strangers to the scene as they founded concept store, Opening Ceremony, based in New York. One need only look at the quirky advertising to see that Humberto and Carol have big, new plans for the label.

From the humble beginnings in Paris, Kenzo has become a power-house , starting in the 70’s and roaring into the new era with flashy sweatshirts that we all wanted to be seen in…that tiger head came from them and we love them for it…now, after countless copies, the design duo have gone surreal with wonderful eyes and clouds…and we are in love.

Kenzo Takada, the founder of this luxe label, now part of the power group LVMH, would be proud of the fashion hitting stores and streets. The looks are no longer just for rich housewives and celebrities. Now, we are seeing it on club kids and skateboarders. Kenzo has gone from elite to cool in one smooth leap…we can’t help but think it is leaping through magazines and blogs like the now infamous tiger!

Here are some great street style pictures that will no doubt inspire you all to head out and hunt down some Kenzo!

Our picks are the following three:

We love this gold bracelet as it is small enough to almost go unnoticed, but the fashion pack will no doubt envy this arm candy! This bracelet is available through net-a-porter.com, retailing at 130 euros

and then try this great Eiffel Tower Christmas Sweat, selling at 245 euros through kenzo.com as it will look great over the festive season when you team it with a pair of boyfriend jeans and lambskin boots
http://tinyurl.com/mkxsm3l

and then face the after party blues of bad hair day with this super cool baseball cap with eye print, available through mybestbrands.de, selling at 45 euros

Return of the Mack

Hamburg may be a bit sleepy when it comes to fashion, but it is always a pleasure to come across someone willing to take a chance with their wardrobe. With our next face, the Alster was our backdrop (and what a stunning backdrop it is) and his outfit is current and very much en vogue. We love the patent green lace-ups and the patterned scarf. The coat is just the right side of British good tailoring with skinny jeans, adding height and definition.

With the bomber jacket (which he was pleased to wear, as it is from Alexander Wang), the look changes dramatically with the added structure of a belted waist…all in all, a very good street look that packs a mean punch!

Time To Warm Up...

With their headquarters in the very fashionable city of Tokyo, one could say that Uniqlo, has its finger firm on the pulse of fashion…it is a company that has gone from strength to strength, since it was founded in 1984 by Tadashi Yanai. It is now the largest apparel retailer in Asia and this is by no means an easy feat! With a clear eye for basics and new innovations (as seen in their HEATTECH line, designed to keep you extra cosy in winter, by absorbing the moisture from your body and converting it into warmth), Uniqlo is a formidable competitor for H&M…just that they have a very clear, Asian sense of style.

Here the lines are clear and simple, and for minimalists, it is a great store to stock up on clever pieces that will make your look sleek and clean…a very Jil Sander approach (for she even joined forces with the company a while back, creating signature looks).

And as we are all not only focused on just what we wear, but what the companies actually do, it is great to find that Uniqlo also does a lot of charity work, with initiatives like the Grammen Uniqlo in Bangladesh, the Uniqlo Recovery Assistance Project and Clothes For Smiles project.

Our pick of the clothing crop has to be the following 6 pieces:

We love the flannel check long sleeve shirt dress at under 30 pounds as it ups the grunge look in your wardrobe, while keeping you warm
http://tinyurl.com/pfmwhjz

for lounging at home, or under a thick coat, this heavy gauge sweater coat at around 30 pounds spells out understated luxury
http://tinyurl.com/pt26ezm

the colour block v-neck cashmere sweater at around 60 pounds highlights another trend this season with great subdued shades
http://tinyurl.com/qdxt7ds

this turtle neck t-shirt on sale at around 10 pounds is a real fashion find. It simply screams Prada!
http://tinyurl.com/poscfeu

these skinny jeans with a 30% stretch rate and 90% recovery back to original shape will take you from day to night in one shaped leap and at around 30 pounds, don’t you dare complain!
http://tinyurl.com/plnukhc

and brave the chilly outdoors, wrapped up in this ultra light down hooded coat (90 % down, 10& feather filling), retailing at around 80 pounds.
