Hautefly's Look Book S/S 10

Ibiza Uncovered: Matthew Williamson, Ashish, twenty8twelve








This look is all about the bronzed skin, sleek hair and the large beach bag to stash your sunnies, San Tropez and blackberry. The hard curled sequins, orchid print and pops of neon (along with those gorgeous bow-heels!) make this the perfect summer look to recreate on the High Street.

Nautical: Ashish, Twenty8Twelve, Nicole Fahri








Nicole Farhi is a French lady who learnt her trade in grand Paris. Nautical is a key trend for any S/S season and Farhi demonstrates how you can wear it relaxed but still chic.


What are your design signatures? “We mostly develop our own fabrics and prints and are known for our colours and textures in a style that is easy and elegant.” – Farhi

Hautefly's Look Book 2010

Nautical: Ashish, Twenty8Twelve, Nicole Fahri







Again a very accessible look from Twenty8twelve; Sienna’s influence is evident in the tassel footwear (another Key trend for S/S) accessories and general outfit build. Hautefly loves the retro appeal with the distressed stripe, crop top and knot open shirt.

If your fond of sand dunes and salty air....


Nautical: Ashish, Twenty8Twelve, Nicole Fahri








Bonjour! You are probably wondering where the obligatory blue stripes are with Ashish’s s/s collection. Yet Hautefly is sure that Coco would have approved of the sequins and glamour (as well as the golden heel). Topshop are but just one of the High Street stores which have taken on this look (Visor and studs optional).


How would you describe the Ashish woman? “Fun-loving and sexy with a sense of humour. She likes to make an entrance.” – Ashish Gupta

Lee once said 'This world I live in, this fashion world I live in, is so unrelated to the world outside, so I take parts of the world that people don't see and bring it to them.' His final show in Paris 2009 was a beautiful metamorphosis. McQueen was an avid bird watcher as a child and an accomplished scuba diver in his adulthood and it feels like nature's wing has been intrinsically stitched into each design. Pieces that are so exquisite , yet ultimately very appealing as ready-to-wear. ( Well maybe not the armadillos) Particular pieces make you want to ca coon yourself within them, snuggle almost. Teamed with extreme heels and torpedo-like hair structure (along with prosthetic face-pieces) finish the look.

Silk Screen Print

The rotating doll-like figure who seems like she has been plucked straight from a childhood girl's vanity case. The Ballerina style choreography reveals the composition of both (wo)man and machine. In '99 when others were fretting over Nostradamus, the millennium bug and a silver fitted one-piece for NYE, MQ was drenching his audience with a vision of the post-modern future.

We love you Kate

McQueen. The pioneer.The Innovator. One whom was always one step ahead. The state of the art hologram by Baillie Walsh astounded the audience at the 2006 A/W collection. A true statement of why he shall be so dearly missed.
