I had sky high hopes for the collection as last season's was so spectacular and it certainly didn't disappoint. The collection takes inspiration from Ancient Egypt and the Cleopatra era and it's clear from both the gilded hues and the intricate patterns. Decadent golds, whites and blacks run throughout the collection and the prints are bold, intricate and abstract with a modern edge.
Streetwear and Sportswear are key trends here but with a Topshop twist. This isn't your run of the mill streetwear/sportswear - it's entirely design led and the attention to detail is magnificent. Much to my surprise the Egyptian design direction fuses well with streetwear & sportswear.
My stand out pieces were the luxe gold metallic knitwear, the bold and beautiful swimwear, the new take on the bodycon dress and the abstract print knitwear.
This is my favorite collection of the season so far so all that's left to say is - Topshop Unique I salute you!
Ooooh, it looks fabulous! I love the gold sporty shorts with the black crop-top. Very Cleopatra meets Jessica Ennis!!
ReplyDeleteok, I'm not totally a fan of the collection, but congratulations to you on being there and taking photos! I saw Nicola Robert's get-up at Daily Mail and the girl who wears all pink (3rd picture) in a street style post!!

ReplyDeleteOh God, how did I miss this special post? I love Kelis, and what a great shot of "The one & only Wintour," lol.
ReplyDeleteYes gold is prevalent everywhere, though I'm usually a huge silver fanatic, I could easily take a few inspirations from this, especially loving the golden hints with the black and white prints above. Thanks for sharing.
