Dimepiece Designs
I follow a blog called Style2Bones, and when she posted a video about this label Dimepiece I had to look into them.
She is pretty cool and has an interesting style, and if you like this kind of label and this sort of tomboy style then you should definitely follow her blog Style2Bones here.
Here are some pieces from the new collection "The Drug and The Dream" amazingly styled from the Dimepiece online shop. Visit Dimepiece here.

Christopher Kane Resort 2013
If the resort collections are anything to go by then next summer will definitely see a continuation of colour.
Never shy, Christopher Kane's resort collection is all about vivid colours. A recurring print throughout the collection is the rainbow brights worked into a spectrum in most of the pieces.

The London Collections - YMC
I did a post about how much I loved Topman Design at The London Collections which you can read here. YMC was another great show. Men's awareness of design has increased so much in the last few years and with the first ever London fashion week for men this month, it's a very exciting time for men's fashion.
British fashion in particular is so inspired by youth culture and has been for decades, brands like YMC have this at the forefront of their design direction, which I absolutely love.
Designer Fraser Moss emphasises how he doesn't necessarily have a signature style but just designs clothes that he and his friends want to wear which explains the level of wearability in his collections.
This collection made me think of the Riviera, very much a collection for holiday dressing, I couldn't help but be reminded of Jude Law and Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley. There was a battle of prints with check, stripes, leopard and kimono florals, but they were kept to a minimum with no more than one printed item worked into an outfit.
Although the overall theme seemed to be relaxed dressing with turn up chinos, loose denim, lightweight jackets and rolled up shirts; each look was interesting and individual with different prints offsetting different looks. I loved the styling too; jumpers tied over the shoulders, outgrown hair and the perfect mens sandals.

Amish Inspiration
The great thing about independent labels are that they are a great source of inspiration for future trends and a great indication of the way fashion is heading. A lot of these collections are a couple of seasons old but perfectly portray the amish inspired trend which I think we will start to see working on a mainstream level very soon. Pinafore style dresses are a must have piece for this trend and the Lonely Hearts one seen below is just perfect.
