Party Over Here!

A lot of people are getting ready for the fashion, music, arts, dirt, tents, or 24 hr alcohol consuming! Either way festivals and summer events are not just a time to gather with your mates and have fun (even though i think it's all about that.... and the alcohol part!) for many it's the envy or smugness you feel when you are wearing that quirky yet devine maxi skrirt with trainers or the hotpants with the most tasselled poncho you have ever had eyes on. Eyes are everywhere!

Hoping for some inspiration for your holiday wardrobe, Thatindielook should be able to sort you out, from the disty floral lover, 70's bohemian godess to the dirty rock 'n' roller.. actually you don't even have to be stereotype if you just fancy a thick wolly jumper for the nights you wish you were in your bed instead of sharing a tent with a snorer, then we have it all!

That 70's Show

This season’s spring/summer collections have 70’s fever. From bohemian dresses in paisley and floral to the masculine look of 70’s rock n roll. Also hitting the runways in my eyes a highly anticipated burst of colour , lifting a modern twist on the 70’s disco, which is most needed as it has been a very prolonged winter.

The 70’s being renowned for the laid back ‘do as you please’ attitude brings great freedom and breeziness to this year’s summer trends. The iconic flared jeans have taken over the skinny phenomenon off the past 7 years, the fresh feeling bohemian maxi dresses and skirts come back with flower power and the all-important sweaters and tank tops over silk blouses give a more feminine approach. Appealing to the eye are D&G’s gingham and floral printed maxi dresses and sophisticated prints at Erdem both being soft and subtle with colour and fabric. However the high-street is right on their heels with floral and ethnic pieces at Topshop & River Island making accessible fashion easier for every woman to get their hands on.

Not only is the obvious choice of the 70’s being the bohemian generation but the masculine feel of the 70’s rock n roll chick also hit the catwalks at Jean Paul Gaultier and Gucci’s take on masculine tailoring with luxe fabrics of silk metallic, denim and leather. Of course there is also the Valentino Rockstud collection which I am lusting over, giving feminist colours of nude and peaches the hard edge.

The catwalk was also brimming with colour and excitement as soon as Lavin’s eye popping tunic and dresses hit the runways in raspberry pink, lime greens and canary yellow. Diane Von Furstenberg shimmering sea of rainbow coloured dresses and jackets were a highlight on stage. Whether you wear key bold accessories or a daring hot pink skirt with a plain t-shirt, it will certainly brighten your day. Not only can the catwalk do this so well the high-street sponges in the inspiration from bold printed skirts and jackets at Zara and lengthy skirts at H&M in eye catching colours at an affordable price tag.

It just goes to show that what comes around goes around, and I can’t wait for the next era of previous fashion we will be craving over next.
