I am lucky enough to
have been chosen to blog for the this year’s SS13 Bristol Fashion Week, taking
place from Monday 18th March. The BFW is set to showcase new Spring
/ Summer collections from both luxury
and high street brands featured in the Mall, Cribbs Causeway. Providing a
platform for the Malls new Season, the anticipated trends include updated
pastel colour palette, the return of floral brights and a ‘white-wash’ over
hall. Less unpredictably and more excitingly, the inspiration for many
collections this season will see the continuation of 50’s glamour, 20’s
silhouettes, and a forever cool, vintage Parisian feel. These inspirations were
infiltrated into the many AW campaigns, and its success will remain a very prominent
feature in Spring / Summer.
Updates expected for
Spring / Summer - A bright colour palette, a blend of luxurious fabrics,
dropped hems, incredibly feminine silhouettes; hopefully all presented with a
refreshing and directional twist.
AND what about men’s
style? Incorporating the muted colour palette, a combination of different
fabrics and powerful, yet refreshingly ‘fresh’ silhouettes? I am hoping for Mad
Mad meets Rock ‘n’ Roll with cool hints of spring. Nevertheless, it is always
an awe-inspiring show for me, here are some of my highlights from the BFW SS12
Runway!
