Minimalism is More
After dominating the shows for the past few seasons, minimalism gets a new spin from a trio of British designers. The fashion world embraced the change - a way to look fabulous without all the effort and riches needed for previous collections was a celebrated part of the seasons ahead. But who has kept to furthering this fabulous, coveted style?
Chloe, Celine Stella McCartney have all stuck to their signature easy to wear aesthetic for Spring/Summer 2011, but this time they've, fortunately, added a feminine twist, with tough leather, sharp tailoring and military details being swapped for softer silhouettes and lighter fabrics. Long flowing trousers, plain tunic tops and full dancer skirts suggest the wearer's laid back attitude and carefree approach. The colour palette us enough to send any fashionista into a state of bliss, with the mellow shades of black, navy and camel of last season being replaced by the beautiful, fresh shades of cream, pink, taupe and white, with the odd splash of neon, blue and honeysuckle here and there to mix up the collections to show off and express original flare.
Minimalism is absolutely perfect for any occasion; you can pull off just about anything, anytime! Whether your colour is neutral white or fabulous pink, there's something for you. Just think inside the box and create the perfect simplistic outfit!
What are your thoughts on the minimalist trend that's dominated the catwalk for the last two seasons? Are you a simplistic lover or love getting dressed up in colours and different looks? Let me know, love you all!
Love E ♥
P.S. I am SO sorry for not replying to your lovely comments, I'm studying for about three tests which are all tomorrow, so after tomorrow I'll be back into the full swing of things, promise!

Acne Spring/Summer 2011
This season, London Fashion Week was a hit, with so many new, fresh faces in respects to both designers and models hitting the runway and literally strutting their stuff, but one of the huge standouts for me was the Acne ready-to-wear line. I fell in love with their simplistic and incredibly elegant designs and their gorgeous neutrals and rebellious reds, and blues and blacks have always been a favourite.
While it's name reminds many of that unwelcomed stage of puberty, Acne is a Swedish brand founded with the ambition to create develop a lifestyle brand through desirable products, as well as helping other people build their brands.
It's first full collection was launched in '98, which set the expectations of the brand - subtle luxury and understated items originating from the ethos that the clothes should feel like someone's wardrobe, cool and personal. The result is that nothing dominates anything else, yet every piece is effortlessly stylish.
Creative Director for Acne, Mr. Jonny Johansson, explained his views on fashion and the label. "Fashion is the best form of self-expression. We like to design pieces that together form the coolest wardrobe, but is ultimately wearable. It becomes one way of thinking as individual pieces, but together creates a strong, modern and considered statement."
And so, without further ado, the collection! Just to let you all know, I only chose my favourite pieces, which was really hard since I loved most of them!
What was your favourite label this season at London Fashion Week? Which of these outfits do you love and love to hate?
