Groovy Baby!

Marc Jacobs, PPQ, Louis Vuitton and Moschino were just a few of the designers parading their take on the forever re-invented Sixties trend at the Spring/Summer 13 Fashion Weeks. 

Louis Vuitton went for classic checkerboard prints with matching kitten heels and beehive hair, tied with bows. 

PPQ went for clashing paisley prints with flowing fabrics, platform shoes and slick ponytails with rounded sunglasses. 

Moschino went all out girly with pretty shift dresses and patent shoes and bags.

Marc Jacobs went for a grown up, sleek look with monochrome leather, box bags and thigh high splits with pointed kitten heels.

Here's our take on the 60's trend:

Key points:

Monochrome Prints
Girly Accessories
Shift Dresses
Retro Sunnies
Big eyes & pale lips

Have fun with this swingin' summer trend! Make subtle hints with printed accessories or feminine statment jewellery or go all out retro mad with high hemlines and even higher hair styles!

Peace & Love!

Trend: Monochrome

Monochrome - it's this season's word

This minimalist trend was all over the runways including Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Roland Mouret

Simple patterns such as graphic prints, stripes and contrasting seams allow this trend to move easily from day to night

Tulisa opted for a bodycon dress and retro accessories on a recent trip to Nobu restaurant 

Whereas Dannii Minogue took a casual approach while looking effortlessly chic as always. Mixing her monochrome Union Jack motif tee with skinny jeans, black wedges and oversize studded bag on her trip back to the UK
