Opening Ceremony Autumn / Winter '12 Lookbook

Pin It

As most of you may now know, Opening Ceremony is coming to London in July with a pop-up shop opening in Covent Garden to mark the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games. A permanent store will also open in the area once the pop-up closes. I for one am pretty excited. To get you in the mood for OC, here is a look at their Autumn / Winter women's lookbook. Vintage styling and some 60s influences are complimented by sports-luxe separates - the thigh-split maxi skirt is pretty sexy. Also on the topic of sports-luxe, the brand are collaborating with Topshop to create a range of sportswear-inspired pieces to mark the opening of the games, which will be available in the pop-up store from July. Watch this space for more info.

Kit Neale Autumn / Winter '12

Pin It

I don't know about you guys, but recently I have been very drawn to all the amazing print coming through in London menswear. From the Autumn / Winter men's shows there was a plethora of print, from Agi & Sam, Matthew Miller and Astrid Andersen - see my post HERE. But one designer that I failed to give a mention to was Kit Neale. Criminal I know, but I'm attempting to make up for it now.

Neale's collection brings retro sportswear to 2012 with bright allotment and floral prints, injecting a dose of femininity to bomber jackets and dungarees. The all-over print look has been big this Spring / Summer but it seems it will be kicked up a notch next season. Wear a matching allotment print suit, or mix it up with clashing prints for maximum fashion points. And the mismatched metallic trainers are a winner too.

Aqua by Aqua Spring / Summer '12 Men's Lookbook

Pin It

This is one for the boys. London based brand Aqua by Aqua have released their new season lookbooks, and the outlook is sporty with a hint of print. Airtex fabrics and matching printed shirts and shorts are the focal points of the collection, with some graphic tees, breton stripes and denim shorts providing those Spring / Summer staples. This season I will mostly be wearing mesh vests with matte swimming shorts. Can't wait.

Shop the collection online HERE, or pop in to the Beak Street store. Keep checking back over the season for more additions!
