WHISTLES AW/12 LOOKBOOK











Images from Whistles.co.uk

As many folk may already know... I work for the beautiful British brand that is
W H I S T L E S. Just thought I'd share with you some images from the new look book for AW/12/13, they are too nice not to be flaunted!

With the end of Spring/Summer commencing just last week, everyone is looking ahead now into Autumn Winter. When it comes to my favourite season I definitely prefer wrapping up warm with lots of layers and watching the leaves all change colour.


It'll soon be here! Autumn is just around the corner...




This season Whistles are showcasing a beautiful capsule collection of winter luxe, expect to see lots of lace, leather, glistening tweeds and brocade fabrics. Subtle prints have an Asian influence that has transcended into sharp cut silk trousers and high fashion separates. 




The collection is very wearable, cohesive and intrinsically highlights several of this season's key trends... 
  • Metalwork
  • English Heritage
  • Cocoon Coats
  • Trans-Siberian
  • Leather and 
  • Black



Chic silhouettes are cut with high quality printed silks, wool and woven brocade fabrics. The Whistles palette is of marine blue, navy, black, khaki green, soft camels, gold and glistening tones.

Oversized leather jackets and tailored separates are worked in to give an androgynous edge to contemporary feminine shapes.

Nostalgic influences of the 60's, 70's and 80's, can be noted too in this stunning collection.

Stylized silhouettes typically associated with these decades, have been cleverly re-worked by the brand and modernised, to create a special capsule collection that will appeal to every 21st Century woman.

Renowned for its fashion forward approach, this year the British brand has retained its effortlessly chic style producing a collection that cleverly transitions casual jersey to evening cocktail dresses. Classic apparel thats endlessly perfect for our current climate to the cold winter months ahead.

What do you think of the new collection? I've already been eyeing up some lovely pieces for my next installment of AutumnWinter uniform! I think I'm in love with everything! :)

Easter *VINTAGE THREADS* @ The Triangle, Manchester





On Friday 2nd of this month, I went to the very ace Vintage Threads to cover the event for MFN. Held in The Triangle there were countless quirky little stalls offering handmade lovelies and second hand beauties ranging from womens & mens clothing to belts, shoes, bags, original artwork and jewellery.
Most of the day i spent talking to the sellers hearing their insightful little stories about how they got into Fairing it and selling their vintage wares. I also did some street snaps at the event which can be seen HERE!!! I wrote some of my notes up about the stalls for featured seller articles, which will be going on THE MANCHESTER FASHION NETWORK site soon, I'll link those to my blog when their up!
My two friends fellow fashion bloggers Matt & Clare held a joint stall @ Vintage Threads, here they are pictured with their vintage clobber.



I bought some really nice stuff off Ruthie McCall's stall, some pretty pink beaded dangly clip-on earrings and a black sheer blouse with a pointy collar!! Check out her wares that she had on the day!
Other sellers that were there on the day I've listed below with images of their stock, Ive linked their sites and Facebook pages too so you must have a look!!!
