Fun Affair SS19, fashion, Xi Zhu, Art Deco, moon, paris,
​Fashion editor: Savannah Barthorpe

Fun Affair SS19 collection: Moon Girl presents a space-age and Art Deco inspired collection of garments boasting lavish fabrics and bold geometric shapes. Designer Xi Zhu, inspired by the 1960s social changes, makes a statement about the role of clothing in the modern age.
With recurring moon motifs in the Spring/Summer 2019 collection, Moon Girl is a futuristic spin on the myth of Artemis, Olympian goddess of the moon, a symbol of female independence whose energy is sourced from the moon. 

The collection employs Art Deco techniques inspired by the space-age of the 60s, resulting in symmetrical, geometric and slim-fitting forms. The garments include striking staple items of the decade with the mini and midi skirts, angular dresses, and trouser suits.

PLASTIC IS NOT WELCOME HERE
​
With World Environment Day just around the corner, ethical holiday brand Aspiga has pledged to clean up Malindi beach in Kenya, with a new initiative which will see them removing a basket of plastic for every pair of their Kenyan sandals sold. Even though Kenya has banned plastic bags, there is still a lot of plastic bottles, flip flops, fishing nets which are a hazard for the marine life and the future of the planet.

The brand has maintained a close relationship with the Kenyan community since they launched, and are delighted to be able to include local children in this project in promoting the avoidance of plastic. 

With a range of eco-friendly products including bamboo cotton buds, re-useable snack bags, E-coffee cups and Swell drink bottles, Aspiga are on a mission to recycle as much waste as possible and are on their way to a zero-plastic office.  Through their production processes, they try to avoid airfreight whenever possible, minimising the company's carbon footprint.  And the brand's packaging is reviewed regularly as they strive to create as little waste possible when sending our goods.

With over 60 different sandal styles in the Kenyan range, you can shop in the  pop-up shop on at 345 Kings Road which opens on 17th May for three weeks or online at  https://www.aspiga.com/
​
​The campaign will launch online on May 1st and run through to World Environment day on 5th June 2019.

If you are looking for pretty jewellery that means something, London based, fine-jewellery brand Ananya, has just launched its 'Mogra' collection, which has taken inspiration from the Jasmine blossom which has deep roots in Indian spirituality.

Designer Ananya has called upon her heritage which celebrates the Jasmine flower; In Hindu religion, this is traditionally worn to celebrate a woman’s femininity, strength, empowerment and good luck, and this subtle symbol has been re-imagined in a range of contemporary jewellery. 

Each exquisitely crafted piece, gives the wearer a connection to the energy flow to the chakras, and the designs are available in necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, using precious stones including w
hite diamonds, Mother of Pearl and the bright colours of yellow, pink and blue sapphire, tanzanite, pink tourmaline and emerald.

This is an investment that you will want to keep forever.

Femininity is defined differently by every woman. To some, it may be pink frills, but to others it may be portrayed in a vision of black. Many ballerinas struggle with low self-esteem because of the competitive nature of ballet. This often causes depression, anxiety and eating disorders. We recognise the dark side of ballet, and the importance of empowering women to be confident in their bodies, mind and personal style.

JOANNE HYNES: SS19

JOANNE HYNES launches SS19, MY FIRST LOVE.

In house designed textiles play a key role in expressing the inventiveness of Hynes’s craft and the celebration of pure fashion which are the DNA of her own fashion stories. 

The collection is driven by three unique textile stories within one collection revolving around the nostalgic narrative of “one’s first love”.

ALL WEATHER GIRL references memories of both sunny and stormy days, where hand drawn clouds, suns and leopard marker prints are shot in the campaign against a moody blue sky backdrop. A transparent polka dot rain mac gives irreverence to a functional fashion piece.


DIY DATE, modelled by Lily Lyons (aged 17) celebrates the creative cool girl, expressing herself with the idea of bricolage and dressing up; she is not afraid to have fun, wearing bow accessories on top of her head and dotted on her printed clothes. She wears prints together in a clashing artistic way where graphic textiles are developed in Hynes’s studio using spontaneous chopped up paper in an inventive manner.

POW WOW story modelled by Marija Aslimoska (33) resides in a hyper feminine world with a tough love sensibility. From the first party dress, boxing, horses, arcade culture and carousels, the collection references nostalgic memories which are translated into truly singular collector item pieces. Appliques and embroideries hand crafted in POW pop art iconography are beautifully stitched onto feminine pieces such as a carousel dress with velvet.

As a designer
Lucy Baxter challenges the boundaries of handcrafts by experimenting with innovative and sustainable techniques infusing glamour, colour and texture into her designs. She has worked in London and Milan in various roles in the fashion industry gaining experience at companies including Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Brioni and the Max Mara Group.
Her graduate collection ‘BeDazzled’ opened Kingston University's MA fashion show and it was also selected to show at Wuhan Fashion Week 2018 in China. This collection captures the shimmering glamour of Peruvian dress which is rich in embellishment, colour and story. It identifies the unique ethnic cultures and regional costumes of Peru by exploring colour, pattern and handcrafts of Peruvian costume and textiles through contemporary embellishments.

Focusing on weaving technique where recycled hand-cut plastic is intricately woven into mesh, playing around with vivid blended colours and geometric shapes.
