Felder Felder SS13 Collection with Finest Seven Sunglasses & Baileys

Titled ‘Broken Wings’, inspiration came from finding beauty in unexpected places.

The collection shows a fragility as the confident and sexy leopard print has really changed it spots into a print of broken butterfly wings

The broken butterfly wing is also shown as delicate chiffon embellishments on sheer sleeves and skirts.

Another print was a unique abstract palette of scorched and ruined pictures taken by an old Polaroid

Trousers were of loose sheer georgette fabric and worn over backless halter neck playsuits.

The chiffon fabric fluttered lightly whilst thin soft leather and suede tailored pieces kept the collection anchored. Here shown as a midnight blue textured patchwork jacket with a basket embossed leather mini.

Suede was super soft and light. Here shown as a pale peach jacket with draped shawl lapel teamed with the cigarette pant and sheer chiffon blouse.

The main colour palette was soft and muted with stronger accents of classic black and a splash of deep aqua blue for that carefree holiday mood.

And no girl should be without a Bailey’s bottle holster! 

This unique bag is the beginning of the partnership of the Felder Felder for Baileys accessory. The designer duo has been appointed Style Consultants to Baileys as part of the new Baileys ‘Cream with Spirit’.

For the brave there was the ruffled underwear as outerwear using Triumph underwear as the base. www.triumph.com

Shoes were Kat Maconie for Felder Felder. www.katmaconie.com

Sunglasses were from Finest Seven for Felder Felder www.finestseven.com

Ji Cheng SS13 Collection - Is it Your Cup of Tea?

Titled ‘Teaism’ Chinese designer Ji Cheng took the theme of tea as inspiration for her SS13 collection. You could say this was a sweet blend of Eastern inspirations and Western tailoring.

How do you like your tea?

White Tea –The colour palette was predominantly white bringing freshness to the pieces.

Silver Needle Tea - Called because of its silvery downy tips.  Going down more of the actual colour of tea the collection included neutral shades of fawns. Adding shimmer were silvery sheens and finishes.

Black Tea. Black made an appearance on two long slim dresses. Each had a modern take on the high side slit of the mandarin dress, with one repeating the asymmetric neckline of its dress.

Green Tea.  The accent colour of course had to be green. Here were various shades of green from the subtle sage and khaki in both pale and deep tones, to the deeper and bolder grass green.

Pu erh Tea . Peach is not a colour you associate with tea, but Puerh tea has a faint hint of smokiness and a warm apricot and peach finish.  This outfit is definitely peachy. Ruching resembling the ridges formed by the rows of bushes in the tea plantations.

Tailoring is softened with an infusion of gauze reminiscent of the muslin tea bag. 

And tassels like those on the more decorative gauze tea bag

As a nod to the Chinese tea pickers, the models wore conical shaped hats made of bamboo and tied with chiffon.
