Smells Like Teen Spirit: The High Street Edit.

Go grunge and get the Saint Laurent look on the high street. 

There really are no rules...just a few style staples. Throw oversized chequered shirts with florals and leathers. Match tartan dresses with sheer legs or cut out crops. Don't forget to choose footwear with attitude and you are good to go.

Smells like Teen Spirit.

Are you rebel enough???

It's angst, it's energy, its electric, its vigourous...it's divisive and its unsettling. The critics feathers have been truly ruffled. It's the coolest collection of the new season. And definitely my 'mood' of choice. And its already bang on trend!!!! Its ALL OVER the high street and in every online retailers weekly newsletter. 

Lets all stop for a minute, take a deep breath and salute Saint Slimane. The Autumn/Winter collection from the refreshed 'Saint Laurent' brand (yes thats no longer preceded with the Yves) has caused a seismic shift in the industry, according to Dazed and Confused. It is wonderful.

Slimane's girl is youthful and she stomps with mighty fine attitude. She is invincible. Welcome, ladies and gentleman to the new age of Cali Grunge.....Someone call Courtney Love and thank her for inspiring yet another outstanding fashion collection.

I absolutely love this trend. This look is fashions way of reflecting a moment in time to perfection. Slimane is mirroring a world of angry un-inspired youths through his clothes. It's immense. We live in a world of recession, political unrest and mass unemployment. And don't we just love a good old fashion collection to reminds us of that. 

Are you cool enough?? The high street pieces are to follow.....x

The show must go on: AW13 trend report.

The temperatures are cooling and the days are getting shorter. The season is about to change and its time to go back to school. Forget those dreams of long sandy beaches and that all too short lived summer romance. Embrace the arrival of the longer, darker evenings and see nothing but beauty as the leaves fall as though they are falling in love with the ground. Put your faith in gothic heartbreak and functional style. Make the grade and stay top of the style class this season.....know the new trends now!!!!!
