My Week In Fashion: Grazia's Senior Fashion Editor Looks To The Seventies
My Week In Fashion
Welcome to My Week In Fashion! Every week, Gemma Hayward - Grazia's Senior Fashion Editor - shows us what she's seen, loved and bought. Click through the gallery above to see what she's been loving this week, from the Prada show set to Burberry belts...
1. In Bloom
Call me old fashioned, but I absolutely love receiving flowers. It was a wonderful surprise last week when these beautiful blooms arrived at my desk from the Valentino PR to say thank you for featuring them in the fashion special. Such a treat to receive.
2. Regram!
I thought nothing of posting a shot of my latest shoot on Instagram this weekend, but it was pretty amazing when none other than Stefano Gabbana liked my image and then regrammed it on his own account! The image of the Dolce and Gabbana hooded gown got over seven thousand likes and tons of lovely comments. It made for a very happy Saturday indeed. So happy you approve Stefano!
3. That Seventies Show
I can't help but be pre-occupied with the seventies trends that's have come out of last weeks shows in Milan. There is the early seventies hippy dippy look which has kaftans, ponchos and tassels - think Woodstock via Ibiza. But there is also a sharper retro look as seen at Gucci, Prada and Jil Sander. I love the deep shades, pointed collars and socks and sandals. Brilliant.
4. Purple Prada
Mrs Prada sure knows how to put on a show. I was amazed by the purple sand dunes constructed in the show space, it looked so otherworldly. Set design is so important for a show, it can take the audience on a journey and it allows the designer to put you in a space to view the collection through their eyes.
5. Belt Up
After the London Fashion Week shows had finished, I was invited invited over to Burberry HQ to check at the SS15 collection which was hot of the catwalk. My favourite items are the denim jackets which are fluted round the hem to sit cleverly over your hips and the new 'dragonfly' belts, which are pleated and twisted tulle. A cute addition to any coat or dress.
