Spotlight on Portugal Fashion AW14

Posted on by

The Portugal Fashion show showcased work from two Portuguese designers at Fashion Scout, Daniela Barros and Joao Melo Costa. The shows were due to be held upstairs in The Vestibule but changed last minute due to the darker colours used in the show by both designers.

 

 

                                                                    

Geometry Androgyny

Daniela Barros had an androgynous theme which ran through all of the looks. The Models were styled in a grunge style with flat-forms and grunged out boots. Geometric lines featured on some of the styles and main colours used were grey, black and white with the only flash of colour coming from the Cobalt Blue featured in the piece above.

What we can’t ignore from the collection is that Barros’ collection is structured, clean and oversized which seems to be a key trend for AW14.

Joao Melo Costa the show started with some stunning jewel encrusted sleeves on yet again some more oversized coats an androgyny seemed to be a running theme through both shows. Costa featured some more tailored, innovative suits with pinstripes running through them. The colours were similarly dark, simple and chic, offset with blue jewels used on the autumnal shades, whites and deep purples.

There seemed to be a mixture of two-pieces which featured tailored skirts underneath oversized tees which added to the innovative and modern feel to Costa’s collection.

The final feature was that Costa chose to play with different textures by incorporating leather tasselling into his oversized jackets

Women turn on their heels this season

Posted on by

– image001         Two thirds of women ditch heels and join SJP in a flats revolution –

 

According to a recent poll of SecretSales.com members, two thirds (62 per cent) of women are planning to ditch their heels for a more comfortable flat shoe this season.

 

With recent news revealing Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Beckham have developed long-term foot damage due to wearing high heels, wise women are deciding to mix up their wardrobe and leave the old adage ‘beauty is pain’ behind them.

 

Despite continuous health warnings, there are some stylish women who just cannot bear to be parted from their beloved stilettos; with a quarter (27 per cent) saying they would not feel confident wearing flats every day.

 

For those women thinking of mixing up their flats to heels ratio, Chelsea boots, as sported recently by Victoria Beckham, or glamorous pumps, worn by Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller, are a must for this season.

 

Ballet pumps were the staple flat shoe for British women, followed by Chelsea boots in second. The least popular flat footwear of choice were moon boots, with one in five (19 per cent) fashionistas saying they would not be caught dead in a pair.

 

Top five flat shoes:

Ballet pumps

32%

Chelsea boots

23%

Brogues

19%

Trainers

16%

Loafers

10%

 

 

Helen Kaye, Head of Editorial at SecretSales.com says “Flats can be a great addition to a cute skirt or skinny jeans. They are essential in any wardrobe and can make an outfit look more relaxed and playful. Swapping the heels on occasion can help save your feet and add some fun back to your style and wardrobe!”

To rock the stylish flats look for less, SecretSales.com is offering a 60 per cent discount on Missoni flats from Wednesday 20th March. Members of the site will be able to snap up the £163 shoes for £99.


Flats – tour dates postponed, album release date pushed back | Music News

Posted on by

London punks Flats have postponed their forthcoming UK Tour which was due to kick off at London’s 100 Club on 1st May and run throughout to the end of the month. At the moment we have no firm news on when it will be rescheduled for but the band are working flat out to get things rescheduled for “later in the summer”.

There is no word as to why this is but a consequence of this is that the release date of their album, ‘Better Living’, has been pushed back to 4th June to coincide with new dates, which will be announced “soon”. Have a read of what Frost made of the album here.

 

Flats – Better Living | Music Review

Posted on by

 

Every band that’s ever made the leap up from from toiling round in the back of a van playing to one man and his dog will have you believe that it took years of hard work to make it. Flats would tell you otherwise. Having only formed in February 2010 they signed with the superb One Little Indian record label, home to Björk, in March 2011, having taken the live scene by storm. The band exploded onto the scene in 2010 and their infuriated-punk sound was a breath a fresh air – think Discharge having a fight outside a kebab shop with Black Flag.

“Better Living” is the band’s debut album and it’s not a bad way to start. Known for their quick live shows, often coming in under 15 minutes, this doesn’t go much further at just under 35 minutes. It’s a short sharp shock of metal, of stoner rock, of punk, of sludge. It’s not an easy listen and certainly not to your mother’s liking but it’s brilliant and worthy of praise. Short, sharp, shocking and often brutal, this record will annoy your neighbours, even if you don’t have neighbours. If you like Black Sabbath, Napalm Death and Anthrax then this one’s for you, if not then keep walking, there’s nothing to see here.

 

“Better Living” is released on 7th May via One Little Indian. Cath them on tour in the UK throughout May.
