How to match the Catwalk

 

Hello,

It seems that the odd day of sunshine in the past month is inspiring our customers to try and match the Summer 2008 catwalk trends. Having looked at our most popular Purple Label jewellery, one of our best sellers has been the bold Orange Coloured Jade and satinised sterling silver matching pendant and earrings:

This vibrant set would look stunning combined with the striking floral prints on the catwalk, to make an ideal summer outfit. As quoted by Stella McCartney, "I didn't want to do a cutesy, girlie floral, I knew from day one that I wanted it to be strong, energetic and striking, so that's where the bold print came from" and I believe this jewellery matches her statement perfectly! We’ve moved away from understated muted floral patterns and progressed onto bold retro prints like the following dress by Paul Costelloe currently hitting the catwalk.

Should you not be feeling quite so brave we are selling plenty of sterling silver jewellery from both of our showrooms. For inspiration on how striking silver jewellery can be take a look at our pieces within the following collection, http://www.purple-label.com/search/web/colour/No-Colour There’s something for every style and budget. Wearing this jewellery you will easily match the new light denim trend swiftly moving from the catwalk to the high street. Designers such as Alex Wang, Gucci, and Chanel all love this new and modern distressed denim style. For a more visual idea, I love the catwalk photos Vogue has put together on the following slide show, http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/trends/2008-spring-summer/080422-lighten-up.aspx

For a more elegant look use the chiffon and transparency of designs on the catwalk to inspired your jewellery selection.

Keep this simple and understated with layered bright white and/ or neutral shades or add another dimension with splashes of colour and graphical prints. The versatility of this trend means it can work well for any age and leaves an endless choice of matching jewellery.

Rock crystal jewellery with a hint of colour like this particular faceted pendant would be perfect for this look or even one of our illusion necklaces to match that sheer contemporary look.

You will be pleased to hear we have put together our favourite pieces in the Purple Label Summer Collection http://www.purple-label.com/search/web/collection/Summer Here we hope you will be able to find the perfect piece to match your summer wardrobe or the inspiration for the new trends you have been searching for!
