Next Season Now

It may be a bit early to be thinking about what to wear in 2013 but you can still add a bit of next season's trends to your Autumn Winter wardrobe. It is a fashion statement that says 'I'm so fashion forward, I'm next season now!' From London Fashion Week, Javelin loved Christopher Bailey's designs for Burberry Prorsum. In a spectacular show at London's Hyde park, the lucky few who were invited were treated to a 'peacock of colour.' Spotted on the FROW were Dita Von Teese, Anna Wintour (obviously) Andy Murray, SamCam and that bloke from Slumdog Millionaire. We noticed that the show was all about soft metallics, in any shade you can think of, with stand out accessories. Our eagle eye noticed a few models were clutching a pink transparent handbag that looks a lot like the Paul's Boutique Molly that we stock. Updating your accessories is an easy way to bring Spring/Summer trends to this season's clothes. If you are after something for the cold weather, why not go metallic with your knitwear with the WalG Foil Batwing Knit? Also, don't forget to vote for Javelin in the Velvet Awards - you don't have to vote in every category, just the ones where you see us!

Far East Fashion Revolution

Far Eastern Influence - an essential trend for A/W 2012

This season is going to be all about the Far East, from Dries Van Noten's raid through the Chinese silk collection to Jason Wu's east meets west style dresses, expect to see lots of silk and oriental print for this Autumn Winter. Here at Javelin, we are loving the crane print on the Bombshell Bird Cap Sleeve Dress. This dress is the easiest way to wear the trend because it teams a classic hourglass cut dress with the traditional eastern print of crane birds. Cranes are lucky in Japanese culture - it is said that if you fold 1000 paper cranes you will be granted a wish by a crane, so get folding! Alternatively, you can just wear the dress and hope it brings you good luck because it'll certainly look good. We also like the colourful cherry blossom print on the Darling Arabella dress and tunic because it has a hand painted appearance. Team the tunic with a wide belt (or use a big piece of ribbon like we have) and some wide leg trousers for an on trend evening look.
