This Season's New Pastel

Remember how 'pink' was the IT colour that dominated most of the bleak winter chill, hence the 'pink coat' was one of the most sought after looks that came out of the season's most lust worthy item.

Well this season's new pastel on the block seems to be hues of sky blue and green. Resembling clear skies and the ocean, giving fashionistas alike the optimism to hope for an early Spring in the air.

The softness in pastels create a look of gentle elegance but be no fool, it has the power to make quite a statement, especially when styled with sleek black.

By introducing pretty-yet-practical options across the SS21 catwalks , they’re easing us back into the practice of carrying a bag. From Kenzo’s slouchy waist belt, to phone lanyards at Versace, to Dior’s straw grab-and-go versions, the focus is on the smaller, the better. However, simplified, medium-size bags also did the rounds at Hermès and Prada for those who ...

Guest Post: Panagiota Prokopi

We welcome our very first Guest Blog Post series of the season, Panagiota Prokopi, who's a fashion enthusiast and blogger from Cyprus. Read on to discover her distinct and individual sense of style.
