“There’s no how-to road map to style.” Iris Apfel
Gardening
Well, flowers in spring are about as surprising as an elephant at the zoo. We know that, save yourself the comments. However, with their dresses, shoes and bags, designers are now giving us too many reasons not to give the spring cliché a chance. What’s more, these parts last longer than any bouquet. Green thumb or not.
Rainbow
Summer in your ear, wanderlust in your heart. When J Balvin gets going, our heads start spinning. Then we dream of sun on our skin, shade on our faces and palm-fringed beaches. Not only Balvin’s sound has this effect, but also the Colombian singer’s collection with Guess. This is the second time that the musician and the fashion brand have done business together. “Colores” is the name of the capsule collection that captures the vibe of Medellín, the joy of the people, the internationality of the city and the energy that reaches its zenith at the latest when J Balvin’s sound booms through the speakers. The pants, jackets and hoodies are particularly colorful, with prints or pimped with batik patterns. The parts are available from 27. March 2020 in Guess stores and on www.guess.com.
Sparkling
There are occasions for which our closet is not equipped. Bachelorette party, garden party, christening: Whenever we want something more than a run-of-the-mill dress, we turn to s.Oliver for help. The new s.O Invited collection has everything you need for glittering nights and exciting parties where we don’t want to disappear as a gray mouse in the crowd of guests. Sequined dresses, for example, skirts decorated with lace, chic bags and even trousers, shirts and suspenders for the male plus-one. Sand colors are always good, because we’ve long since had our fill of the little black one. s.O Invited is available from April.
Longing
Mid-season is like waiting at the hairdresser. It’s not your turn yet, but you’re already so excited inside that you’re already imagining what the comments on your new hairstyle will be. Can you already store for swimwear in spring? And what about dresses? Wait or get started? To answer this question once and for all, there’s Cruise Collections. Belize shows bikini tops that we can wear under chunky knit sweaters, for example, or spaghetti strap dresses that can be worn with turtlenecks to bridge the long journey into summer. Lots of green and pastels, gingham patterns and leo prints, all combinable with each other and so pretty that we’ll definitely still be wearing them in the fall. www.belizeofficial.com
You bottle!
The fact that we should limit our plastic consumption hangs over us like a warning. Thanks to the London label Miista, we can now carry the memory with us on our feet in the form of these bottle-heeled mules (approx. 283).
Protective shield
Glasses are more than just visual aids. In any case, Viu celebrates the craft that makes the former into statements. When two people who turn design into art work together, we can be doubly excited: Together with the Swiss publishing house Armes, Viu is now presenting a pair of glasses like a punch. Lunettes 01 and 02 are visual and Sunglasses are reminiscent of protective goggles from the laboratory and are so present on the face that we can safely dispense with eye make-up. Viu X Armes, “Lunettes 01” in green, and “Lunettes 02” in yellow, limited to 200 pieces each, with headband, approx. 295.-
