What is the victory of a cat on a hot tin roof? Just staying on it I guess, long as she can.

Bestial awakenings

Topshop Unique AW10 was in tip-top form this LFW. The whole creative process emboddied in the designs, catwalk, styling and makeup was an utter success. The talent and surplus of passion from the creative team was most definitely welcomed after the more clinical, trend-led runways of NY fashion week. Inspired by a back-to-basics camping trip and the surrounding wildlife, models sported headpieces such as antlers and badger heads. I definitely got a Narnia vibe, and who doesn't like a bit of childhood reminiscience?! The hair was big, the makeup was bronze, and the clothes... Ah, the clothes were wonderful. No detail has been left unattended to. Thick woollen stockings, magic toadstool and owl prints, wooden elements on the shoes, fake fur, boy scout green and a beautiful bottle blue. I really hope the in-store range lives up to the collection!







One thing though, Topshop. Please live-stream your next show, or at least upload the whole show to your website / blog so us proles can watch it!
