I've always been excited by what people are wearing in the street- the more carefree and creative the better- and at the moment I'm finding myself more and more drawn to street style- especially to those who look as though they've crawled out of bed, ran through their wardrobe and stumbled out the other side draped in contrasting layers or wearing trousers as a shirt... Or maybe just those who appear to have fun with what they wear and don't take themselves too seriously.
As much as I feel my tutor may disapprove of this, I'll say it anyway- I've never found myself inspired by trends. Being someone who prefers to develop their own style over a long period of time (something I'm still doing to this day), I find trends too fickle, too false to ever be particularly excited by them. Although I have to be aware of what people will want to wear each season for the next few years, I don't actually care. I like designing for people who enjoy experimenting with their style, and who don't base their appearance on what everyone else is wearing.
Perhaps this is why Sister by Sibling's A/W 2013 collection appeals so much to me. There's just something really fun about this collection (which was originally inspired by Paula Yates), and I found myself getting ridiculously over-excited by their huge knitted jumpers. I can picture myself comfortably huddled in one every winter until I'm about 80...
Plus, I always love down-to-earth designers who make you feel as though you can relate to them, which is exactly how I feel about Sid Bryan, Joe Bates and Cozette McCreery...
For now I'll leave you with four of my favourites!
