Sink your (Dog) teeth into this!


Hot off the press, from the Tommy Hilfiger fall 2013 ready to wear show last night, great news! Dogtooth is back in!  Originating in Scotland, but now used all over the world, Dogtooth oozes sophistication and class.

Used throughout Hilfiger’s show, the pattern was cut into structured coat and preppy jumper dresses, giving a thoroughly ‘private school’ look to the overall collection, especially when styled with knee high socks and doctor bags.
                   
Mixing in leather and furs, the contrast of the fabric palettes added a rich feel to the collection echoing Hilfiger’s brand essence of ‘Classic American Cool and providing a refreshing twist to the preppy fashion genre’.

After winning the CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012, Hilfiger has gone from strength to strength, with collection advertisements showcasing the ‘family’ on various outings and situations. Check out this years yachting season collection for a nautical treat too!



And finally…Couldn’t resist showing you guys this little fella looking chic in his very own dogtooth jacket! Note to self- the perfect way to accessorise any outfit is with a matching puppy!

Spring Summer 2013 trends

Here at Ellie Ellie HQ, Christmas has been on our minds since June (what with preparing for orders, shows, new products..), so can we be blamed for looking forward to next seasons trends already? Over the next couple of months we will be bringing you a trend-by-trend guide to planning your spring summer wardrobe - but for now, here's a quick lineup of what to expect..

- Print (yes, still!), but this time in the form on gingham, dogtooth, stripes and digital patterns.

- Sporty. The Olympics have left their mark!

- Texture.. Extreme (including 3D flowers!) vs minimalism.

- Bomber jackets x pencil skirts (an odd combo, but we promise, it works!)

- Oriental. The trend continues from Autumn/Winter 12

- Pastels are still huge (including hair!)

- Cropped. Trousers, jackets, tops, you name it, it's cropped.

- Trainers. With everything. Really. We mean EVERYTHING.

- Punk/ goth/ grunge, mainly in the form of mesh. Sounds scary, but is actually pretty beautiful.

We will be bringing you guys outfit posts, what to buy and inspiration posts on all of this and more. Keep your eyes peeled!
