So I won a competition with UK favourite 'More Magazine' to blog for them at Graduate Fashion Week next week in Earls Court! I never win anything, so this is too good to be true. The brief was to write up to 500 words on a current trend, so I kinda chose denim. Sweet. Check it out >>

Summer 2010 Trend: Denim
Following House Of Holland’s bad boy S/S 2010 Collection, the streets are washed with denim for the summer season. Holland has inspired a liberal, younger and fresh look within the fashion scene from eccentric, fine prints to varsity school-prep style pleats and overalls. Inspired for the likes of Leigh Lezark and Atlanta De Cadenet Taylor, old school denim teamed with the likes of floral and buckles can creates a feminine look to dress up or down. The new denim collections are said to be inspired by 80’s New York cultural street clothing and can look effortlessly chic from European beach and boutique festivals to the dance floors in the club’s in the capital.

From the Hollywood Hills to the British streets, this look is being customised from every angle. Jacket shirts, hot pants, corsets, crop tops, biker jackets and now even dungarees!
How to Do Denim
· Customise! There’s no better way to create your own unique denim than to involve badges, brooches, corsages you name it! And there’s no limit, think vintage meets Westwood (Vivienne, not Tim)
· Try and stick on one wash of denim, a patchwork of colour may seem too much
· Stick casual with pastel floral pumps or dress up with wooden 70s style clogs
· Venture out, explore the different styles out there, there’s so many to choose from!

As Denims taking over the streets of the Kingdom, look at some of the other trends to collaborate and work with your chosen style. Polka dot crop tops and high waisted denim shorts can pull off a 50’s pin up attire, while studded Holland inspired Biker jackets can team up with innocent, pastel floral jumpsuits and satchel’s. Time to hit the stores.
