<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Wow, did August just pass by quickly or what!? Or am I
the only one feeling that way because I literally worked every single day of the month? I
can't believe we're almost at the end of the month. I've had a very hectic
summer and I honestly can't wait to just relax before I start my second year of
uni, which won't be an easy time either. I'm so excited for the months ahead
and generally speaking this year has gone by so fast it's incredible! So what
have I been up to? </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Except from working, working and working I've been out
exploring more of London. It's been a year since I moved to London and I still
haven't celebrated it properly! What am I doing with my life, I knoooow! There's
still soooo much to try, explore and be part of and I can't wait for it all.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In
these recent weeks, I feel as if I've gained some kind of wit. Ha, don’t judge
me! There are times where I feel so overwhelmed and times where I just feel
like I can conquer the world. Am I the only one? Come on, I see you there
smiling because you feel the exact same way. It’s okay, that’s what makes us
human and unique! When I say conquer the world, I simply mean I’ve got energy
and motivation like never before. I feel like I want to run a marathon and attend a spin class all in one and the same day. If only I could! No, but seriously, I've
got this feeling where, I just want to do SO much, yet there's not enough
time.... First on my long list is London Fashion Week next month - I can't wait
to get my hands on those Mary Katrantzou tote bags and of course the shows! Can’t
wait to see this season’s collections! </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Let’s not forget that part of life is
being happy or looking forward to something that brings you joy. Why must we
always look at the future with such uncertainty instead of a positive
expectation? The future is unknown but isn’t that just great? Imagine if you
knew exactly what’d happen tomorrow – would there really be anything called
excitement? Let's just do our best to live life in a way where we'll be keepin it simple every single day. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I hope you are all doing well and enjoying
the summer. I’ve recently had a thought about starting a blog post series
called “shit you must do in your 20s”, as I feel there are a lot of things
women in their 20s limit themselves from doing simply because they’re too
embarrassed to do it alone/by themselves. So, as we’re in what Danes would
call ‘late-summer’ (end of July), I thought why not explore and enjoy London
on my own. I mean, although doing things with friends can be all fun, you end
up spending 50% of the time on actually finding time in your agendas, figuring
out who’s seen what and then finally deciding where to go. That’s too much time
wasted already – so why not just pack up a bag and go by yourself? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I recently did my first ‘shit you must do
in your 20s’. I visited a lovely little Danish eatery in Notting Hill called
Snaps & Rye and treated myself with lunch. Had this been two or three years
ago, I’d have never had the courage to do it! I went into this very cosy little
place, ordered me some open Danish sandwiches and enjoyed them like never
before – all by myself. To be honest, I did actually really miss rye bread
right around then! However, it didn’t feel as lonely as I thought it would be,
and to be honest as I stood by the till ordering, I was really contemplating on
whether or not I should tell the waitress it was a takeaway. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But then I was
like: come on Mell, you can do this! So I did it, and I must admit it felt
really great – I left the place feeling like one thing had been ticked off my
list. A lot of my friends would never have done that because it could look as
if you’re lonely. So what? Well, then at least I’d look great lonely, ha! No,
all jokes aside. I personally feel like your 20s are when you should explore
and enjoy life to the fullest. When I mean explore, I mean the city in which
you live, yourself (who you really are – get to know yourself) and spend time
alone with yourself – because once you hit your 30s, trust me there’s no room
for mistakes nor any mercy! So why not make good use of that? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Who's seen Maison Margiela's Haute Couture Fall 15 collection? Isn't it
just startling? To be honest I've never really been a big fan of John Galliano
ever since he moved to MM from Dior, but I must admit that I was positively
surprised by the pieces here. Let's not forget the level of androgyny, as a few
of the models were actually males including John Whiles. It takes a creative
person to create such a collection which one may or may not agree is not
entirely haute couture, however, Galliano pulls it off perfectly and once again
surprises the fashion world. Whether you like him, his collections or you
dislike either one of them there's no doubt that you'll end up talking about
them either way. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We're talking about beautiful abstract draping, chunky and overly
decorated coats, contrasts both with colours as well as materials. Taking a
look at the more beauty aspect of this collection - the make-up is not one you
can't notice. Whether it's the thick blue eyeliner/half a face mask or it's
just a very neutral look with an emphasis on the eyebrows, the statement being
made definitely came through. My main reason for picking exactly this
collection out of all the others including, Elie Saab, Fendi etc. is the fact
that Galliano proves that androgyny is still alive in fashion! </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now isn't that a
good thing? If you take a look at the beginning of fashion, there was never
such thing called women's wear or men's wear. It's just a notion, which
eventually evolved. So thank goodness for designers such as John Galliano who
still embrace the idea of androgyny! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi guys, how're you all
enjoying the summer?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I did promise I'd update
more frequently during the summer so guess what? Here we go. I really do love
summer, although spring is my favourite season, summer just has something about
it. Or is it just me? Besides my allergies and the extreme heat we've been
experiencing in London I must admit that it's been pretty fantastic so far. The
long days, the sunshine, HAPPY PEOPLE and last but not least the fact that
everything is in bloom and my gosh it's just beautiful.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I've been exploring
London, ticking off all the places on my
"Places-to-see/visit-in-London" list and I'm just falling in love
gradually. If you ever have to go explore London, do it during the summer.
Everything is so much more charming during this time of the year than when it's
constantly raining.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So where have I been and
what've I been up to? Well, besides working most of the days, I do try to get
out, enjoy the weather and life in general! So, I went to visit Primrose Hill,
which is like one of the most endearing areas in London with these cute little
flower shops, boutiques, cafées and restaurants. Oh and lets not forget the
pastel coloured houses. Also, just yesterday I went for yet a stroll to
Buckingham Palace - it was such a beautiful day and the weather was just
perfect - not too hot or cold just perfect for a pose in front of the amazing
palace! I will definitely be exploring more over the summer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">Hi
guys,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 150%;">I know it's been ages - university and work has been keeping me so busy,
but I'm finally back on track and yes, I've missed blogging! </span><span style="line-height: 150%;">I do, however, promise to blog more now that I just finished my first
year of uni. Wow, this year went by so fast - I just had to pause for a moment
and realise that. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As I've been enjoying working and loving London's summer weather, I
could not help but to keep updated on SS16 Menswear. Let me just say: I LOVE
MENSWEAR! I do tend to hear: "Oh, but isn't menswear just the same things
over and over again?" and I do get the point, but it really isn't. There's
so much more to menswear, than just a suit and a tie. With that being said,
Dolce & Gabbana is really doing well! I must admit that I'm not a big fan
of D&G in general but I do love this collection! </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Asian and Italian
influences mixed together - wow, what a combination, right? Admittedly, it turned
out so nicely with the kimonos, two pieces and even the espadrille looking
shoes! Oh and the materials; silk, silk and more silk - I just love it! And let's not forget the tailoring! I especially
love the details and elegance, which in many ways is typical D&G, but I
just feel like they've upped their game a bit more. Or is it just me - what are your thoughts? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi people and happy April! Gosh, I can’t believe that we’re already in
April, it seems like it was just New Years Eve yesterday. Well, this is
actually my favourite time of the year, hence the cheesy title. But come on,
isn’t spring just the best time of the year? When all the flowers (let’s not
forget the cherry blossom trees) are blooming and everything else is so
colourful? I went by several shops yesterday with a friend and we both agreed
on how all the shops had several colourful collections. They all make me happy
and I promise you I am also trying my very best to try out some colours! I
actually don’t know why I don’t wear colour on a daily basis most my clothes
are black and I often don’t feel like wearing anything colourful, it’s a
subconscious thing I promise. I've been having my current favourites on the left side, but I thought of including them in today's post. I'm loving these two flavours from PUKKA and YES the detox actually does cleanse. The night time tea is oh so calming and it tastes so good! I did buy these with my own money, just thought I'd share as I know a bunch of you out there are tea lovers like me. So if you haven't tried these please do!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway! April means spring-cleaning right? Guess what I’ve been doing
the past few days? When I say spring-cleaning I don’t only mean cleaning my
room/house, but also my mind, my life and my surroundings. I’ve already mentioned
it in a previous post, about moving on and letting things go. However, I feel
this is the year where I’m learning not to take things too personally or
seriously for that matter. Trust me it’s a learning process, it’s not easy, but
I think it’s something that needs to be learnt in order to succeed in life. In
these past few months, I’ve learnt that there are a lot of things we need to
come to terms with such as: not everyone is necessarily your friend, don’t take
things personally and also the fact that it’s extremely important to find your
inner peace. I know these are all quite hard to truly understand and also to
practise, but I’m guessing no matter who you are, at some point in your life
you will experience some stuff that’ll make you understand the importance of
these. It’s all part of growing up and evolving once you’re an “adult”. So
therefore as a result of my recent realisations, I’m currently doing my form of
“spring-cleaning” mentally this time around. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As much as you wouldn’t want to be an extremely self-centred person, it
is good to focus on you and love you. Because let’s face it – you’ve only got
yourself and no matter where you go you’ll always be there. So why not start
working from within – take time to take care of yourself, pamper yourself, love
thyself. Find that inner peace that makes you unshakable no matter what may
come your way. You’ll see that once this falls into place, whatever happens
around you won’t affect you as much as they maybe once did. We’re all doing this
to become better human beings, remember that. So on that note, I’ll continue my
mental spring-cleaning because that’s what spring means to me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;">Hi guys. So, it’s been a while – my deadlines are over and I have been trying to relax, but I always find myself doing everything else but that. Anyway, as I was super busy under London Fashion Week, I wasn’t able to do an update on the shows I liked the most. Therefore, I thought why not do it now?</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">I fell in love with one particular designer’s fall 15 collection. What I admire the most about her is her ideas, which to be honest are quite different from most designers, however she is always able to create amazing pieces. A designer who isn't afraid of colour, texture and alternative styles - yes that's the first things that pops in mind when I hear the name Mary Katrantzou.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;">The Central Saint Martins graduate Mary Katrantzou has done it again. With pink nuances and incredible prints, the Greek fashion designer left the crowd wanting more after seeing her fall 15 collection.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;">Using pink foam padding as a catwalk, Katrantzou took the audience into a new world. Known as the queen of digital print, Katrantzou started her career in London in 2005, where she graduated in Fashion at CSM. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.5px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 19.5px;">However, fashion wasn’t her starting point, as the Greek designer first moved to America to study architecture at the Rhode Island school of design, where she later on got transferred to CSM to complete her bachelors degree in textile design. </span><span style="line-height: 19.5px;">Katrantzou’s architecture background is seen in a lot of her designs, as she is particularly interested in the way in which printed textiles are able to change the shape of a woman’s body: “Prints can be as definitive as a cut or a drape and allows a woman to filter beauty found in design in a subversive way.”</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">Playing around with prints and various effects, she has been and is still able to create a world of her own, which is also evident in her most recent collection.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB"> Mixing and matching different materials to create unique looks seems to be an easy task for Katrantzou as seen in the pictures about. </span><span style="line-height: 19.5px;">Furthermore, the multitalented Katrantzou has collaborated with Topshop, Swarovski and most recently Adidas where she designed sportswear with her famous 3D like prints. Now if she isn’t a talented designer then I don’t who else is. What I adore the most about Katrantzou is her humbleness towards her work and everything else she decides to lay her hands one, which makes her one of my most favourite designers.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Hi guys. I apologise for not
being able to update my blog. Deadlines and LFW has been all over my agenda.
With almost everything handed in and London Fashion Week over I can now update
you on how it went. This isn't going to be one of my random rants, but a little
update on Fashion Week and my closet, lol - better late than never right! As
you may already know this was my second time attending. It was so different
this time around - I actually felt like I knew what was about to happen unlike
last time where I was as confused as the word. I was fortunate enough to attend
two shows, one by CSM graduate C.J. Yao and another by Fyodor Golan.</span><span style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; orphans: auto; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><br />
They were both so different but I really enjoyed them - they had such newness
in their collections and I remember telling my friends that Fyodor Golan's
collection was a proof that fashion isn't all about black. It was so
colourful on so many levels and what I liked the most was how they had worked
with different fabrics and materials which I think was the "newness"
I mentioned earlier. As much as I tried to properly plan my outfit this time, I
failed once again. My newfound love for the normcore style is beginning to
really show. I do need some colour in my closet, I won’t lie but I just find
myself buying more grey and black than ever before. I do promise though, that
that is going to be my next project. A colourful closet! By the way, I'm so
sorry for such the pictures being such bad quality. </span><span style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;">Hi world. So here we are in February…. The month of love, chocolate and roses, but for some reason
the only thing I really associate the second month of the year with is FASHION.
Oh yes fashion – fashion in all aspects. With fashion week going on in New York
and London Fashion Week right around the corner I am more than thrilled to see
what this season will bring. Last year around this time I was scrolling through
my Instagram news feed enjoying different snapshots of fashion week around the world. Little did I know that a few months later I would actually attend one. Personally, fashion week has never really been all about the shows,
because let’s be real, how many shows does a so-called newbie have access to? No,
what I found interesting and to some point quite intriguing were the people I
saw outside the catwalk.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fashion week is namely the only place where you just did not want to
‘blend in’ with everyone else, owing to the fact that nobody would notice you
and actually want to take pictures of you. See, I wasn’t aware of this when I
attended London Fashion Weekend in September last year. Although I was beyond
excited to be there and had the perfect outfit in mind, I ended up just looking
like the girl next door. Even worse, nobody stopped me to ask me where my
sandals were from as they did to someone else wearing shoes that excuse my
language, looked like bricks. Admittedly I felt over the top, maybe a little
bit overdressed and slightly feeling myself a bit too much. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The sun was shining, I had my sunglasses on and for a quick second it
felt like it was all about me. This was just until I made it to Somerset House
and saw all these different fashion enthusiasts e.g. bloggers, stylists,
photographers, you name it. Wow! I felt like a newbie in an instant! But I
still managed to pose for a picture in front of the famous ‘London Fashion
Weekend’ signboard and immediately uploaded it on all social platforms, because
hey – now I was one of “them”. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">However, being a fashion student, a year older and wiser, my view on LFW
has really changed. Not in a bad way or anything of that sort, I think I’m just
very fascinated about it all – the people, the shows and just the atmosphere in
general.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moreover, I got the biggest grin
on my face when they published the show schedule for this season, with so many
designer graduates from Central Saint Martins and London College of Fashion
such as the incredibly talented Bora Aksu, who had a gorgeous S/S15 ballet
inspired ready-to-wear collection, which by the way was like being taken into
another world. As Bora mentioned in an interview with Vogue.com, he really did
create something light. “I wanted to create something light and weightless but
at the same time not too nostalgic.” If you haven’t seen the collection yet, please
do – because it is exactly what he describes it to be like. In addition to UAL
designer graduates on the schedule this season is LCF graduate Lucas
Nascimento, who in so many ways is quite different from Aksu. His S/S15
collection semaphored contemporary colourfulness. With lovely cuts, great
lengths and bright colours he definitely had a collection to remember. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although both designers are completely different in their own way, one
thing is for sure. They do not fail to deliver contemporary collections, which
is also a reason why I’m so fascinated about the fashion industry and I can’t
wait to see what they have to show us this time around. Now with an
understanding of how the industry works, how effective and extremely talented
people are I am so eager to experience it all over again.</span></span></div>

don’t really know what to do or how to dress, just make sure to get there in
time, dress to not only impress but to stand out and have a blast! Enjoy your
time, because you might just be lucky as I was last September and end up
getting a seat front row. Good luck. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Hi world. Hope you're all great! It's been such a
lovely start of week and I thought why not put on something really comfy yet
stylish. That on itself can be a challenge at times, as comfy clothes to some
might only mean sweatpants. But hey, lets move on from that. Anyway, I titled
this post 'it's all behind you' because of my pose, but also owning to the fact
that it really is all behind you.</span><span style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I'm all about being positive and seeing the best in
every situation, which is something I am working on to improve even more this
year. Positive-affirmations, meditation, good health and good social life are
all quite essential, when it comes to positivity on a daily basis. </span><span style="color: black;">However, putting everything that you've been through, what
people might have done and said about you, behind you is a tough thing to do, I
agree.</span><span style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">But to be honest, that really is the only thing you
can do in order to grow. Let me please stress on GROWTH. How important is that?
How great is it to look back at your life and see how much you’ve grown? I
personally think moving on is an essential ‘skill’ life – being able to sort
out your life; see what and you need and don’t need anymore. I call it a<span class="apple-converted-space"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i></span><i>skill</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>because it really is something one
must master. It’s not easy letting go and it’s always easier said than done,
but some people are not in your life to stay – some come in our life for a
reason or only a season. This is very important to understand in order to not
look back at your life bitterly.</span><span style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Life is such a beautiful thing, however we must
remember that family and friends add on to it. You as a person are what really
matters; your health, your motivation and willingness to actually live the life
you’ve been given. So if you ask me, the most important thing in life and in
order to grow is to move on, LEAVE it all behind you. Because let’s face it –
there comes a time where your loved ones will leave you – would that be the
reason why you’ll give up on life? No! You must continue living and striving
for happiness, which by the way isn’t a goal but something that should always
be a part of your everyday life. Be happy, choose happiness and leave it all
behind!</span><span style="color: black; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;">Hi
everyone. I hope you're all doing great, I'm back again: New Year, new concept
and new post. It took me some time to figure out what exactly I wanted to do
with my blog, so I actually had to relaunch it. As one of my goals this year, I
will do my absolute best to update my blog more frequently. So on to my first blog
post, which is actually a feature I just over the Christmas. I've always been
interested in designer and high street retailer collaborations so I thought,
why not research it more and write a feature about it, now that I had a chance. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;"><b>C</b>ollaborations are frequently seen in the fashion industry, whether it’s
between designers alone or retailers and designers, but the question here is
whether or not these collaborations are purely fashion related or just a good
marketing strategy?</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="line-height: 150%;">American fashion designer Alexander Wang launched his sports themed
collection last month in collaboration with H&M. After their recent
collaboration with French designer Isabel Marant the Swedish company took
another turn for this year’s designer collaboration.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>I</b>nspired by autumn colours and Wang’s sporty style, the collection
seemed quite different from what H&M normally does.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">According to Press and Communication Assistant Claire Wakeman from
H&M, the brand always seeks to collaborate with significant and relevant
designers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She said, “With each designer
collaboration, H&M wants to capture the true DNA of the designer.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">Admittedly, the Wang x H&M pieces sold out the same day it was
launched, and most importantly, the collection brought a whole new look to
H&M. It even had costumers queuing several hours just to have a feel of the
collection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">The brand has since 2004 worked with designers such as Karl Lagerfeld,
Roberto Cavalli and Stella McCartney, however mixing high street fashion with
designer collaborations can sometimes become a dangerous affair. Furthermore,
this has not always been a successful aspect for the Swedish brand, according
to a research done by EDITD, it is proven that the Maison Martin Margiela x
H&M collaboration wasn’t quite a hit amongst the consumers. After the
collection being launched in November 2012, it was shown that 22 pieces were reduced
more than 50% of it’s original price without it even being put under the sales
category. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">Even though there is always a risk behind these collaborations, it is
still an on-going annual event for the high street shop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">20-year-old H&M employee and student, Joana Akoto found the launch
itself to be very disappointing, because of the items being sold so quickly.
But also because of the prices, which according to her were incredibly high
compared to the brand’s usual price range, as a pair of leather joggers are
£179.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">“I got to the store around 10:30 am and everything was pretty much sold
out, there were only a few pair of jeans, jackets and shoes left, but the items
I was looking for were all gone. So after looking in different departments and
some of the fitting rooms I concluded that there was not much to do than just
to head home. On my way out, I actually did find an item that was on my list,
just randomly hanging in the men’s department,” she says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">It’s arguable though, if the collection really was worth all the hype or
if costumers saw the collaboration as an opportunity to invest in designer wear
for a reasonable price. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">Admittedly, 20-year old Akoto had not seen much of his previous work. “I
have not seen much of his previous collections, but I really like the few ones
that I have seen. I think it’s because he is very minimalistic and that’s more
my style,” she said. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">Looking at the collection and Wang’s sort of minimalistic style, it’s no
surprise that this must have been a risky team up for H&M to do, as they’re
known for their rather diverse clothing. However, it’s a situation where
fashion designers get a chance to aim at and also create a different target
group than their usual. Which is also another reason why H&M chose
Alexander Wang. “His fashion-forward tailoring with a sense of ease perfectly corresponds
to H&M this autumn,” said Wakeman about the American designer.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>T</b>his sense of ease is also recognised by 20-year old Akoto, who thinks
that the American designer was just the right designer for H&M this year.
The 20-year old H&M employee said, “I loved it. I think it was unique, very
his style with the dark colours. I loved the material and the small details on
them. My favourite item has to be the sweatshirts, which complements my
muscular arms so well.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">“The good side of H&M x Wang was the fact that it became a huge
success. People waited for hours to get in on the launching day and most of the
items were sold out within a few ours,” said 20-year old Akoto. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">Although Wang is known for designing street wear, this was his first
time actually making sportswear so the collection was just as important for him
as it was for H&M as Wakeman stated, “the collection is full of
experimental and cutting-edge techniques, such as laser-cutting, embossing,
foam-injecting and bonding.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">While this particular collaboration was a risky one on both sides, it
was proven to be a success and is also considered a good marketing strategy,
which is one of the key aspects of designer collaborations.</span></div>
