Tribal Prints

By Zarah Harrison in Get the look, Trends on Thursday 22nd March, 2012

There’s a world party going on this season and you’re invited. Tribal patterns and earthy colours are inspired by African plains and safari sunsets. Wear animal and Aztec prints with bright tops and ethnic–inspired accessories for a hot, hot summer look.

We love a maxi dress in the office; they’re comfortable, flattering and an outfit in one. What’s not to love? And we especially love the tribal maxi dresses that have come in. I’ve picked out two of my favourites below but I think I’ll have a fight on my hands for the leopard print one. This has proved very popular among the girls in the office and we have a rule that only one of us can own an item, otherwise we might have a ‘oh my god, we’re both wearing the same dress’ disaster.

 

 

The tribal print trend works really well with beach wear too, I’ve picked out a few bikinis and one of our absolutely gorgeous katfkans. These are so handy when you are away, if you want to step off the beach for a spot of lunch or to grab a cold drink, you can just slip this over the top. Plus it’s not just for the beach either; you can wear this for days in the park with a little slip underneath and a chunky belt and lots of beaded necklaces for a real bohemian seventies look.

 

Finally, I wanted to give a sneak peak of some of the garments that are due in over the coming weeks. These shots were taken our recent photoshoot in Miami, sadly I didn’ t get to go, so I’ll have to contend with just buying a few of these to make up for it. In the office, we are all chomping at the bit, there are some seriously gorgeous clothes about to come through our doors and well, it would be selfish to keep them to myself, so see below. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for these as I can guarantee, these will go very fast…….

Behind the Scenes – South Africa Photoshoot

We were lucky enough to jet off to South Africa last week for 6 days of sun, sea and sand while we shot our high summer clothing campaign in Cape Town.

Lucky devils you might think, unfortunately most of the team were ill for the whole time! Not to put a damper on it, we had a great time all the same and everyone chirped up. Or should I say ‘had to’ when 196 children turned up for our casting all wanting to appear in the shoot.

Here is a sneak peak of one of the photos from the shoot.

We think you are going to love the photos and clothes from this shoot, it features lots of zingy colours, dazzling stripes, pretty florals and graphic prints. All perfect for summer!

Oh, and how could I forget to mention we saw Annie Lennox on our flight! Star struck you might say, although she is a lot smaller in real life than you might think.
