WEEKS OF FASHION

From New York, London, Milan and Paris the hottest fashion pack have been travelling round the world following the next big thing! The shows that ran over the last 4 weeks have been full of the newest designers and trends that will have everyone talking till next season. It's just turned Autumn to us lot but some people live to pre-order straight from the catwalks and probably have cramp from tweeting #FW so much!

Here we have a quick recap of the shows and have pulled out the Summer trends we can expect to see in stores, billboards and glossy mags for the next season. We will keep going back to these too and also taking a look at what people were wearing to the shows. 

THE TRENDS:

- SCRAPBOOKING
There were a few shows that included some looks with a real home made feel. Looks that reminded us of that perfect feeling when you finish a full sketchbook and you have fabric samples hanging out, threads and scrap paper stuck to it.
We all love a good clashing print but these looks were like clashing prints, textures, colours and text all thrown together with some pva glue, Art Attack style and we love it!!




- SHINY WHITES
It's Summer so there for white is a colour of choice and you won't get away without seeing some fresh white looks in the shows. This season those white pieces were brought to life with interesting fabrics that were layered, structured, sheer, silky and technical and the tone definitely held it's own throughout all shows.



- SHRINK TO FIT
Denim is a great fabric for the Summer and this year the designers have decided to dress it all up all prim and proper like. There is no sign of a shredded pair of jeans, salvage or decoration this season (apart from Ashish), just clean lines and fitted denim. Denim is probably the best fabric ever so we are going to be pulling all of ours out again.



- SICKLY SWEET 
Sorry folks but it looks like the pastel colour palette is also going to be around for the next season. The amount of pastel, candyfloss looks that were included in numerous collections proved that it is stuck here like bubblegum.

Florals For Spring..? Groundbreaking.

We know there is nothing new about getting your florals out for the summer, but there is something in that feeling you get when you dust off your floral dresses, blouses and shorts as soon as the sun starts shining again. And since we have been living under the rain clouds for so many months now, I'd say we all deserve that feeling!!!

We have put together our favourite florals and are planning our new outfits to put a spring in our step. Here's what we chose from our website and much more available!

COW VINTAGE Spring/ Summer Campaign '13

Here at COW we have been super busy trying to jazz up our website, blogs, facebooks, instagrams, in stores and everything else visual. To do this we grabbed some babes, a load of clothes, shoes and accessories and went to an area in Salford in the freezing cold to take some photos of stuff we like!! I believe that's what they call in the fashion industry.. a "campaign".

Anyway here we have our selection of images you can expect to see knocking around online and maybe in stores.

     
 

 
    
       

      

A Massive Thank You to everyone involved.
