The evening of the 27th saw a certain battle commence, this wasn't any ordinary battle but one with fashion in mind!  Camden's Proud Galleries became the backdrop to the fashion pack's style wars.  The concept was taken from America and hit the shores of the UK for the first time last night and what an evening it was.  The event was cungered up by hot brand, House of Diehl, the idea is to let a bunch of local fashionistas loose on the stage and bid them to create some top-notch pieces from any materials they can get their fashionable fingers on.  And when we say anything they can get their hands on that's exactly what we mean...from bin liners to old rags and even coat hangers and umbrellas!  The designers will create their couture, catwalk-potential masterpieces live in designated 5 minute slots, the finalists will then be under scutiny from a top panel of judges.  With the style panel including Jodie Harsh, Pam Hogg and VV Brown we hope their was some award winning creations!

Because of global warming many of us are still feeling a little chilly, especially since we seem to be experiencing every type of weather within the same week.  Hopefully the coming months will show us a little sun, so whether you are wanting to add a splash of colour to your wardrobe or just brighten up your mood, make sure you work this summers hottest trend!  This season seems to be all about Mr. America...think loafers, polos, Hawaii style tees, retro watches and of course those high-fashion ray-bans, summer style just wouldn't be complete without them.  We are loving the catwalk collections from designers such as Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs, perfect for the beach I think you'll agree!

Lessons in light-wash are top on our style agenda this season with the eighties vibe proving to be a hot look.  This trend works especially well with the petite figure, so if you’re planning on rocking out eighties style, be sure to take a few style notes...remember faded pockets suit boyish figures best and an all over color flatters any shape.  Whether you work it in skinny, flared or straight legged, be sure to finish this fresh trend with an eighties inspired tee, a cute blazer and chunky platforms!  If you’re feeling brave or fancy a more casual take on this fashion, rip it up!  The catwalk showed distressed denim left, right and centre.  If you’re sick of pretty, girly dresses, toughen up your style with a few ripped rules.

Rihanna, Fearne Cotton and Kate Moss are just a few that have copied the look.  Steal their style and wear with a blazer, cute skirt and ankle boots or team with skinny jeans and towering heels.
