It’s a rave new world
MANILA, Philippines - British high-street brand Topshop channels the vibrancy of summer into its latest collection, resulting in an unexpected mix of striking colors, bold geometric prints and jarring patterns. Divided into three trends, each reflects the varying shades of the season and corresponding moods that range from energetic and rebellious, to refined and restrained.
A counterpunch to Topshop’s quirky collection is “Arthaus,†a sartorial approach to minimalism inspired by the German school of Design and Architecture. Clean, crisp, slick and almost futuristic, the collection is all about moderation using monochromatic colors and subtle textures to build on a full wardrobe. Play it sleek and chic with boxy coats, tailored dresses and trousers in somber blacks, whites and grays with occasional pop of color for maximum impact.
Lace and florals creep through denim and leather for the toughened, not-your-ordinary-kind of girl. Fit for the modern princess, the “Debutante†collection maintains the style integrity of the ’50s with pastel shades, prom-inspired dresses, boucle jackets, feminine trousers, lippy dresses and coordinated sets with matching cardigans. Opulent fabrics like organza, lace and jacquard are loomed into the collection for an edgy yet lady-like dressing.
Channeling the casual-cool vibe, Topshop puts together the “Rave New World†collection inspired by the wild parties in the Mediterranean island with an early ’90s twist. From statement tees to skulls and wolves motifs and hip-hop graffiti and tie-dye prints, “Rave New World†is defined by the Topshop girl with a wild side. Key pieces in the collection include emotive tees and sweaters, Moroccan crop jumper, embroidered denim hot pants and Aztec print jeans.
