SS12 Trend Translation


Happy New Year!!
How are we all?  Fully recovered and prepared for a great year of Fabulous Seasonal Fashions?  Well I hope so, because this season is full of fun trends to wear – but here at Into-Style, we’re all about how to translate them to suit ourselves.

This month we ask:  What on earth is Yoko Pop? And, how does one wear Acid brights?

Yoko Pop
This 'micro trend' is simply a selection of sports inspired pieces in bold or graphic prints often juxtaposed against deep block colour backgrounds such as Mustard, Cobalt Blue or Monochrome shades (see below).  The trend takes a nod from the forth coming London Olympics and also utilises sheer Fabrics, Sequins and Plastic accessories.

Acid Brights  
The trend for Acid Brights is huge this season (well the seasons’ colour is Orange…).  I love it and like to clash my vintage silk Acid Yellow vest with my Fuchsia Pink paper bag waist skirt and neutral shoes.  To be fair, I’m pretty much a no boundaries/no fear person when it comes to fashion

However, Acid Brights can be easy to shy away from.  But don't be scared, because the trend can be easily translated into your everyday wardrobe, and worn with neutral and nude tones, (see below) makes it even more wearable.

Neons

Try a pale Acid Pink cropped Tee with a nude pencil skirt, or an Acid lime vest with indigo denim and super high heels which looks pretty cool too.  If that’s all still too much, a neutral bag or shoes with a neon trim like the River Island one above give an excellent yet subtle nod to the trend.

Boy, London

I simply couldn't help but pap this handsome fellow when I saw him - luckily he was happy to oblige.....

He was just popping in to grab a coffee, casually sporting black skinny cut off's (both top and bottom), with cult label Boy London leggings!  

Loving this guys' Monochrome combo...  

Boy London, revived last year,  was set up by Steph Raynor in the 70's, in the heart of London's Punk scene.  

Raynor now runs a vintage boutique in London's East End.
