Fashion pick of the day: Warehouse Mac

The warmer weather is upon us and it finally looks like it’s set to stay, but of course that doesn’t mean the last of the rain. April showers are indeed ahead of us.

What better way to keep dry in British weather than a traditional and iconic Mac?

We can’t really think of one.

The Mac was made the iconic item it is by Burberry and if you don’t have a budget that will take you as far as the designer then you have to head to the British high street where there are a number of different versions available.

This beauty from Warehouse is very similar to the designer version.

It’s structured and figure flattering.

You’re going to see Mac raincoats for years to come, so if you don’t have yours already this piece from Warehouse will become your staple April Showers jacket.

The best London Fashion Week yet?

Sian O’Flaherty from ShopStyle by PopSugar says Rihanna’s River Island collection, and some spectacular catwalk shows brought some much-needed buzz back to London

As a memorable London Fashion Week draws to a close and moves on to fashion cities new, we look at the highlights – what caused the fashion pack to gasp or shriek, and what are the trends we should be searching for now.

Rihanna’s collection for River Island generated a huge amount of press attention all over the world – but her first foray fashion wasn’t just style and hype over substance. Rihanna cleverly translated her schizophrenic street/luxe style into a highly wearable collection of young and fresh florals and surprisingly feminine street wear. It’s in store from March 5th.

The Burberry show, as we’ve come to expect, was a spectacle for the eyes and a treat for the ears, with live bands playing and a soundtrack again released from the show. We loved the playful use of hearts on shirts and skirts, and the naughty but classy PVC trench coats. Burberry again proved its dedication to bringing catwalk shows to the public through live streams of the shows on Twitter. In fact in total, 21 of this season’s catwalk shows were broadcast live online this season, thanks to a partnership between London Fashion Week, YouTube and Rightster. We also noticed the fashion crowd using Vine, a new app from Twitter which lets you scroll through short videos.

TopShop went as far as to place cameras inside the models’ handbags so viewers had a ‘model’s eye view’ – viewers could pretend to be the model and star of London Fashion Week, Cara Delevingne, at least for five minutes. The show was also live streamed on Twitter and YouTube. In terms of fashion, TopShop really pushed the boundaries of ‘high street’ with a really high fashion feel which demonstrated why it’s a brand loved by the fashion pack the world over.  The TopShop Unique show brought us beautifully tailored oversized coats, metallic leathers, and playful 90’s styles.

The general trends we picked out for the coming seasons are deep purples, dusky pinks, and flat shoes. Yes, the fash pack have ditched the vertiginous heels after several seasons and are wearing either trainers or flatter shoes now so get searching for some 60’s style low heeled shoes. Wearable, feminine and fun – three words to sum up the upcoming season.

Burberry casts Gabriella Wilde And Roo Panes in Autumn/Winter 2012 campaign

Burberry have released the images of their latest campaign, and once again we’re left in awe.

For the past few seasons Burberry have knocked it out of the park with their advertisements and never before have we wanted the whole Burberry collection to make its way into our wardrobe.

Replacing Cara Delevingne and Eddie Redmayne from the Spring/Summer 2012 campaign are actress Gabriella Wilde and singer Roo Panes for Autumn/Winter 2012.

As has been for the past few seasons, the campaign was shot by Mario Testino. The moody black-and-white ads were captured on the foggy streets of Greenwich, London.

Burberry claims it was their biggest advertising production to date with an exclusive soundtrack, ‘Indigo Home,’ penned by Panes for the campaign.

“We wanted to play with everything that’s at the heart of the Burberry world – celebrating our brand and London through imagery, film, music, weather and our iconic outerwear, all in a very poetic and British way,” said creative director, Christopher Bailey.

Edie Campbell becomes the face of Fullcircle

Edie Campbell has notched another campaign, fronting FullCircle’s 2012advertisments.

The British model has been making waves in the fashion industry.

Moving from Burberry, Edie’s laid back effortless style, beauty, charm and keen interest in art made her the perfect face for the campaign, they explain.

Ever since she was first cast by Mario Testino for British Vogue for a story about up and coming Londoners whilst still at school, Edie has become synonymous with modern British elegance and artistic style.

She’s been spotted on the arm of Britain’s A-List rock glitterati, divides her time between modelling for the likes of Burberry, Anya Hindmarch, Marc Jacobs and now Fullcircle, studying History of Art, and horse racing.

This is definitely a face that we’re going to be seeing more and more of. And this is certainly something to be thankful of – she has great sidewalk style.

The FullCircle collection is equally as chic this season using the traditional attributes of Asia as the core muse for design choices, it embraces delicate femininity featuring sheer fabrics, muted tones and hints of florals that combine with Japanese prints and design.

Highlights include a hand drawn bird print range featuring a chiffon jumpsuit and pussy bow blouse. You’ll also discover pops of colour with bold splashes of orange and pink on a variety of styles, providing a real sense of summer to the range.
