I love a good fashion show and so it came as no surprise that I was super excited for this years Highcross Spring Fashion Fix! I have been to nearly all of the fashion shows at the Highcross Shopping Centre and I love how they tweak the way they do things each year to keep things fresh and interesting. Hosting the show this year was the fabulous Sophie Robertson and the glamorous Sarah Tankel Ellis. The concept of the show was really interesting this year, both hosts *who I think did an amazing job!* explained how to style simple everyday outfits and transform them into trendy and fashionable runway looks! Inspired by some of the most popular trends for this year they showcased some amazing looks! From Monochrome to Tribal and Pastels to Colour Blocking. Below are my three favourite trends from the day, Enjoy!
The two beautiful models came out in head to toe white, which can be seen as a trend in itself! Now I'm not brave enough to try and pull of an all white outfit but if you have the right attitude you can really rock this trend! My favourite of the two looks is the one on the left. The sleeveless collared chiffon shirt works really well on top of the tailored trousers, I also really like how the cuff sits just above the ankle. Sarah then explained how this look can be easily transformed into the well known pastels trend.
The girls picked up some beautiful jackets from the rails, along with some jewellery and accessories. I really loved how the trend worked on top of the outfits they had on before, they were styled really well using layering techniques. The first two are definitely my favourite looks! I really love how the first outfit plays on different shades of blue tones, which is also a very popular trend at the moment and I love the candy pink jacket on the second look with the blue jewels!
The next trend they showcased was Monochrome, anyone who knows me will tell you that I love monochrome! So I was super excited to see what would come down the runway and I was not left dissapointed! The first look was very 'Chanel' inspired, I really like the use of blocking in the blouse and also where it sits off the shoulders. This look is extremely versatile, it could work as an office outfit or even as an evening look! I think my favourite look out of three is the one on the right, the bold graffiti-esque print is very on trend this season and it seems to be quite popular with our fellow celebrities, with the likes of Rihanna being spotted in something very similar!
Tribal was the next trend that Sophie and Sarah presented and I have to say this was my favourite trend of the day! Again each outfit was based on the first 'all-white' look to show how easy it is to incorporate fashion trends into your wardrobe. The first look was based on an amazing kimono! The tribal print worked so beautifully against the simplicity of the shirt and trousers. The second look was a safer take on the first look but still equally as effective. All three outfits were accessorised to perfection, chunky neck pieces are everywhere at the moment and are a perfect way to finish off any outfit!
So! That was my top three! There were many more amazing looks included in the show but that would have made a very long post so I tried to my best to cut it down a little! I really enjoyed myself at the show and I even had a cheeky colour consultation after the show! It was quite interesting to learn what tones and colours worked well with my skin tone! Hope you guys enjoyed this post and let me know if any of you guys had the chance to see the show!
*By the way I am super excited for the next Highcross Fashion Show! Yay!*
