Texture, richness and boldness: Translating Mulberry's runway look

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:52:00 +0000

The key of being inspired by fashion runways is knowing how to translate what we see and feel from them. We might want to get the exact pieces just as they are presented and dream about someday getting that gorgeous dress we fell in love with. However, runways are full of movement, color and styling which can give our wardrobe new inspiration that is even better than having the exact same outfit at hand. Learning to translate a runway look's vibe is essential and especially, understand what we loved about it. This will make the end result be true to one's style.

In this example, we chose a look from Mulberry's Fall-Winter 2013 collection that we truly loved. The rich blues, the careless yet chic attitude, the mix of textures and unexpected touches...the list goes on. The easiest would be to pick up a Navajo printed poncho or cape, add a navy blue sequin skirt, a belted oversized sweater, etc...a bit too predictable. What is most interesting is to learn to read the look's key features and make it our own. For us, what stood out beyond the particular pieces were the rich textures and color palette, the freedom of the printed poncho, the unexpected preppy shoe and sweater choice, the clashy-yet-perfect prints and materials and the overall carefree but stylish mood of the look. It can even be toned up or down, and in this case, we chose to make it an everyday staple.

Brocade goes a long way

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Sun, 04 Nov 2012 01:27:00 +0000

Nothing welcomes fall better than the luscious palette and texture of a memorable jacquard brocade look. Whether you go for the unexpected playful version (left) or for the elegant upscale version (right), brocade is a beautiful way to add interest to your wardrobe. The metallic and repetitive patterns mixed in with its classic floral ways, make it a current must-have that is both opulent and daring. Include in your season's palette: nudes, taupe, browns / black, grays, gold and the color of the season: oxblood or aubergine and make it an autumn staple. Color blocking in the accessories is a great option for including additional touches of color to the mix without shifting the focus off the brocade and integrating the entire look.

Prada Spring 2013 Runway Highlights: Milan Fashion Week

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 18:40:00 +0000

A somewhat minimalistic style gone cooky. With the appearance of three main colors and degradés Prada has created an artsy yet irreverent collection that will spice up anyone's wardrobe. Skirts below the knee, relaxed yet proportionate cuts, black and white culottes, origami pleats and naive florals create a very clear statement: "less" is more. What will most probably be remembered about this collection are the Japanese inspired lined platform sandals that finish off the Asian flair while adding another unexpected touch.

Below you will find our favorite looks, which piece is your favorite?

Presenting our favorite looks from the Mulberry Spring 2013 Runway Collection. We love this feminine and classic collection based on Asian-inspired fabrics, monochrome palettes and unexpected rocker details. Floral prints reminiscent of the 60s, midi skirts and metallics create exciting looks that will be hard to match. Mixing and matching between the palettes will create an even more eclectic yet coherent combination. Better yet - the rich fabrics are perfect for transition outfits that will take you into fall.

Prints that talk

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 19:39:00 +0000

Have you ever come across a fantastic fashion piece that speaks for itself? That the instant you see it you know you have to get it and create outfits around it? The same happened when we stumbled upon this Picasso-inspired printed dress by Oscar de la Renta. Its shape, its loud and unique print and the easy to match color palette make it a winner to be imported into your wardrobe regardless of its final use. Such an item is original enough to create edgy and modern outfits around it yet its classic shape allows for more polished pieces to complement it in a chic way.

Which other pieces have you found that are instant wardrobe must-haves?

The New Effortless Chic

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 15:39:00 +0000

Great outfits don't always have to be cutting edge to be memorable. Simple yet naturally stylish and elegant, a monochromatic palette with different patterns and textures makes for a refreshing and on-point fashion combination. Choose white or cream, black or navy as a base and add details in gold with chains, studs or jewelry; incorporate texture by choosing pleats, sheers or repetitive patterns and you will achieve an effortless yet sophisticated look.

A new twist on Coco Chanel's unforgettable style.

When in doubt...make it stand out!

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 21:39:00 +0000

At times, we need to wear something to adjust to our less than stable mood. Got too many key pieces you'd like to wear at once? Can't choose only one wardrobe hit for the day? Choosing an outfit that crosses the "predictable" line is not as easy as it sounds. However, texture can be a great ally to create that element of surprise while reviving long forgotten pieces. By deciding a base palette that is naturally harmonious - in our example we went for pinkish neutrals, dashes of black and gold and a popping, surprising color such as coral or cherry red - you can mix prints and patterns in the same color range as well as combining knits with more delicate fabrics or adding metallic touches.

Texture indeed creates contrast: the more you use it, the outfit possibilities will be virtually endless.

What excites us most about prints and color is that the ending mix will always be your own. By creating unexpected pattern combinations and uniting otherwise standard pieces with uneven prints and expressive color palettes, the vision of ourselves becomes that of the uniqueness found in any part of the world. Instead of mimicking a known look, ethnically-inspired key pieces break the mold by expressing what they stand for: individual garments that are meant to be as different as you are. The best part is that this time, when the style is named "global", it deters from generic fashion available all over the world as a result of chain stores and explores an individuality that is only available at one's roots.

We posted this selection as part of the Global Fashion contest for Polyvore, like our set here!

Whether it's raining or shining in your life, the weather is keeping you tanned or just wet, we welcome summer! A time reminiscent of fun days and the freedom that not having a schedule gave us, be sure to dress like it: lemonade neon shades, sweet pastels, irreverent color blocking and a few dashes of everlasting black create a combination that will let you enjoy the season and beyond.

Necklace Lovers Anonymous

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Mon, 21 May 2012 04:54:00 +0000

Whether you dream in classic Chanel, can't live without a biker jacket, crave neon or are weak for closed-collar shirts, you most probably have an affair with a necklace. The first to make the plunge into an infinity of trends, necklaces can be as daring or as timeless as you want them to be. They even have the power to make or break an outfit, create delightful contradictions or transform a plain white t-shirt into fashion heaven.

Fashion might be nothing without tops and bottoms but would you ever give up the rush that sneaking in a new necklace into your outfit gives you?

Romantic without the Frills

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 02:16:00 +0000

Romance - an ever-present reminder of the softer side of life. A mood that can be represented in textures, colors and patterns that do not need to be overpowering to be sweet. Layers and different lengths in this outfit create movement while being comforting for winter and inviting change during the day (wear without the skirt for an edgier evening look). The printed leggings and structured leather jacket create balance and make this look a staple for the coming seasons.

Add a punch of color to the start of your new year with unexpected yet harmonious color combinations: navy and raspberry red, a touch of neutrals and of course, the ever-neutral denim.

Style Inspiration: "What the water gave me" by Florence + the Machine

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 01:48:00 +0000

Vintage chic at its best. Florence Welch's characteristic flair is unique enough to be the envy of the music scene and beyond. Edgy yet classic, she has been known for making vintage look new and interesting each time. In the "What the water gave me" video (song we are crazy about), her style is subdued yet striking. A sea foam green and terracotta color palette mixed in with clear accessory statement pieces in gold and jewel tones is certainly a style inspiration. Sheers, lace, feathers and subtle shine: be inspired by Florence and the Machine's new video and our fashion take. Enjoy!

Back to basics: The knotted trend reinvented

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 19:03:00 +0000

Jewelry full of memories. Or is it? The knotted trend brings back the fun and ease of past decades' childhood jewelry, yet making it all current. The novelty? Supple cotton or even silk thread is combined with metal accents or leather structures in a seamless way that makes it irresistible. Nautical-inspired knots and braiding are added to the mix making it a trend that goes beyond friendship bracelets. Look for textures, geometric patterns and golden hues for a stronger statement that is versatile and chic.

With boldness through chaos

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 03:15:00 +0000

Some trends seem artificial, irrelevant or a comeback that feels forced. Real design trends originate from a shared sentiment, outlook, lifestyle or response to an existing situation. In order to become a natural trend instead of only a commercial strategy, these feelings need to be a reality for many.

The selection below represents a common expression. Whether its style is shared by ethnic, artsy, folksy or geometric trends, the strong palette, character and repetition in these pieces create statements that are hard to pass by. Supported by symmetry or the deliberate lack of it, these outfit tellers represent an attitude. The reason for its boldness and patterns?
To compensate for uncertainty in an ever-changing world.

The Oxford Shoe the Female Way

From left to right: Campbell Oxfords in Liberty Floral by JCrew; Flower printed Oxford, H by Hudson; Floral Wingtip Shoes by Forever 21; Black Floral print Brogues by Dorothy Perkins; 77100 Oxford by Rizzo.

Oxfords have made it to the top in the last couple of years: the implied elegance, the vintage air evoked and the old-fashioned masculinity in the design have created a luscious shoe. Now, after adding a pinch of sugar to the mix, the coveted oxford has become decadent, sweet and full of color. It's just like making jeans for women's curves, these feel like oxfords made for us. Embrace the trend and bring it into summer with comfy dresses and tapered pastel pants.

Welcome the year in blue

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 21:46:00 +0000

New year, new soul, new traditions. LBD has long standed for Little Black Dress. However, during 2010, midnight blue has made it to the top and is now the must-have dress shade, the new B. Elegant and modern at once, short dresses with a simple silhouette but luscious fabric and detailing are best accented by golden tone jewelry and accessories that give it an almost royal style. A must-have for new year's eve and many more parties to come. Edge it up with sheer black tights and a leather jacket and a pair of platform booties.

Fashion Karma Police

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 00:13:00 +0000

As ethereal as fashion might sometimes seem, we must never forget that its backbone is centered in consumerism and disposable trends. This is, after all, what makes it addictive, new and challenging at the same time. As passionate consumers of fashion, we need to understand the huge impact that it has on the environment, where and in which conditions it is produced, and how it will affect our own society in the future. We might not know the details of each garment's production but it's important that we realize that our actions can worsen or improve the current world situation.

Unfortunately, the existing "being green" trend is also being abused of by the market, making real sustainability hard to identify. This makes it even more complicated to make conscious shopping decisions but we can start by:

supporting brands and products that sustain fair trade;
avoiding sweat shop brands;
choosing materials which can be recycled/reused easily or are composed by re-purposed waste;
purchasing directly from artisans;
choosing organic or 100% natural materials where possible;
distinguishing between the "eco-chic" trend and the real and long-term deal
...and above all: when craving fashion, shop your own closet first!

What is your own take on eco-fashion?

Past and New Seasons Unite!

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 01:51:00 +0000

Tired of the cold weather, gray days or the lack of winter sun? Yearning for spring and an immediate revamping of your wardrobe? A season Mix & Match can do wonders for your style (not to mention the winter blues). Instead of neglecting those cheerful breezy dresses or spring-colored cardigans, match them to the less energetic, monochromatic winter bunch for an instant renewal of style and spirit. Pair thick textures to lightweight fabrics for comfort, added warmth and interesting layering that will never make an outfit look the same twice.

Be bold - go closet shopping for those perfect items from past seasons that nobody else has right now. Be different - instead of looking like this or that celebrity, avoid fashion clichés and make old become new with your own time-warping choices.

Little Non-Black Dreses to Welcome the New Decade

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 05:47:00 +0000

Another year has gone by...and there's no reason why to play safe with the beloved and comfy LBD ¹. This time around, non-black is the new black. Daring, textured and dazzling describe the party dress destined to close a hard to forget 2009 and welcome the uncertain '10s. A hint of 80s vintage mixed with 21st century decadence will make dancing to Prince's 1999 acquire a new meaning.

Moreover, the perfect one should scream HERE & NOW: an attitude we must learn to live by and express - one day at a time.

Warmth: Pantone® Fall-Winter Fashion Colors 2010

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:08:00 +0000

The cold and tough winter months need warmth: colors that calm the soul and help us keep going forward. Pantone®'s palette is full of contrasts and features four especially warm colors: American Beauty being the most notorious of them all, is meant to be a "feel-good" color and is used to complement edgy or quirky fashion. Honey Yellow brings the sunshine in while staying subdued and fit for winter, its fashion style is classic and feminine with a vintage feel. An interesting combination is created when matched with Burnt Sienna, a fall classic with a rusty twist in a base of orangey rose featured in frilly pieces with a retro touch.
Last but not least, comes the king of neutrals: Crème Brûlée. Frostier than our regular nudes, it becomes one of the most elegant hues in current styles. When paired with color, the result is impeccably chic, as it conveys joy amidst a challenging environment.

American Beauty selection: Red Owl Handbag by Patina; Astor Suede Calf Boots by Halston; Double Wrap Leather Bracelet, Marc by Marc Jacobs; Dégradé bandage dress by Hervé Léger; Gill Suede Biker Jacket by Maje.

Sleeveless Chic

noreply@blogger.com (New Found Lust) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:09:00 +0000

Layering is one of the most interesting ways to transform looks and keep current - and a most needed resource during the colder months. Waistcoats, sleeveless tops, gilets and vests are key and become the cherry on top of a well-layered fashion ensemble. Mixing different textures, lengths, thicknesses and styles is the way to go and will create striking end results every time.
Eclectic is this season's motto.
