Here we are, on the very last day of 2013, a time of reflection and to form resolutions for another New Year. 
This is one of the last series of 'what our PR Interns are wearing' for the 2013 season, featuring our 'Purple Orchids' scarf, specifically designed for the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA). Working in more than 120 countries, ADRA provides aid to disaster relief, community farming,water resources, food aid in mother-child health programs and women education and training. 
This design features the native African flower motifs and is specially created to provide education for women in Rwanda. 


Wherever you may be, all of us from Cup of Daisies would like to wish that you've had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year ahead!

Art in Fashion I: J.W. Anderson LFW

By
'Art in Fashion' is the next big trend! Inspired by English painter Graham Sutherland, J.W. Anderson's latest "pretty ugly" collection at London Fashion Week (LFW) 2014 offered an artful distortion of construction over unconventional palette.

This particular design is inspired by the Merlin Charity , who develops projects in Asia and Africa delivering medical expertise to countries shattered by war or suffering from natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. The illustrations represent the national symbols of the countries where Merlin's work is currently being carried out. This is one of Cup of Daisies ' most favoured scarf and personally mine too. I think it's something to do with the striking contrast of the blue and white colours faintly representing an elegant china vase. I was going for an old style glamour look and wanted the scarf to be worn as a centre head piece.  With the head piece in mind, I worked my outfit around it and decided to pair the look with a two piece combo which I purchased recently from the H&M Trend collection for the season, a ...
