BLACK AND WHITE BOWS IN
Black is as timeless as it is absolutely beautiful. More recently, however, many designers have taken to pairing it with its polar opposite: white. Indeed, the crisp contrasting of these two tones serve to uplift and accentuate the other, which means patterns that incorporate both are both stark and eye-catching. They’ve been rocking many a runway-lineup, and make no mistake: they’ll look just as chic at home.
PLAYING IN THE BLUES
Popular in top styles this season, soft, clearwater blues have become the darling mainstay of dreamy runway looks alongside warmer sands, vibrant yellows, and dusty rose. And while blue has always been there, the increasing interest in the shade is made all the more prominent through its use by top fashion brands like Givenchy, Badgley Mischka, and Emilia Wickstead. And because it’s such an easy colour to wear, it goes without saying that it’s an even easier colour to incorporate at home; soft, dreamy, comforting, and remarkably soothing.
COMING IN STRONG
Militaristic styles and full-tailored suits have absolutely dominated fashion line-ups this season, and we’re tickled pink about that! This translates well to the home aesthetic, and we’re more than excited to bring in the clean, crisp lines and sleek sophistication! Say hello to strong silhouettes that demand attention, and high-quality designs that speak to durability and sustainability. Add leather accents to up the ante, and don’t forget to accessorise appropriately.
