River Island S/S 12 Womenswear

I have just found these photos of River Island S/S 12 campaign. I am amazed by some of the detail that has gone in to this collection. I was never a huge fan of River Island until a few season's ago, and I would probably say they are one of my favourites now! I love how the prices are really affordable yet they seem to be leaps ahead of its fellow high street designers... 

I love polka dot chambray denim jumpsuit, and the tribal print pencil skirt teamed with a shorted khaki parka jacket. Roll on S/S 12 now.... I have had enough of the dark nights, and cold/wet/windy days!

Spring/Summer 2012 Key Womenswear Trends: African Tribal

It's not even christmas yet, and I am already talk about about Spring./Summer 2012. You will soon notice that all the stores on the high street after christmas will start to filter the Autumn/Winter trends out to be replaced with the key looks of the season.

One of the key trends this season, which has followed through from the past few seasons, is the African Tribal trend. Although its nothing we have not seen before, the designers are focusing a lot more on jewelled hues and the vivid prints and patterns. The neckline is going to be made the focus point, whether its embellished, printed, or embroidered inspired by the Masai women.

Burberry Prorsum (one of my favourite runway collection this season!) & Holly Fulton both were fully inspired by the tribal trend, however I think Holly Fulton made a completely different take and made it look quite technical & modern!
