LFW RUNWAY LOOKS RECREATED AT SILVERBURN

Hey guys, I’m back in Glasgow now (not for long) after London Fashion Week (more on that later) and headed straight into my favourite Glasgow Shopping Centre Silverburn. I took over their Instagram account yesterday for the day and recreated some of the LFW catwalk looks at Debenhams and Topshop from Christopher Kane and Pringle of Scotland shows. What fun it was!

If you know me, you’ll know that I love a style challenge and this one was definitely one of the best. Coming straight from the LFW I was full of inspiration so I couldn’t wait to play dress-up with my favourite high street brands in Silverburn. Catwalk shows are amazing to watch live and on TV, but I’m also aware that most of us feel as though the pieces showcased are usually not for every day wear and probably out of our reach, am I right? That’s why Silverburn and I decided to partner up together and show you how you can easily take elements from your favourite designer brands’ catwalks and recreate the looks at home to suit your body shape with a more suitable colour palette and wear them every day.

Christopher Kane SS17 LFW runway inspired look at Topshop

The above look was inspired by Christopher Kane LFW #SS17 show streamed live at 3pm yesterday. Christopher is celebrating his 10 year anniversary this year, so his new collection was created with the elements from his entire 10 year archive. A celebration of his amazing journey and some of his best designs all in one show – goose pumps material I tell you. I love that Christopher is Scottish and his collaboration with Topshop a few years back made Topshop an even easier retailer choice at Silverburn for recreating my look. Lots of metallics, leather, lace, jewels, slogan tee’s and bursts of colour this year for Christopher on the runway and Topshop aren’t short of any of the above, we are just missing the crocs (wink). All items that I’m wearing in the look above are currently available in Silverburn and there is plenty of new lovely transitional weather stock in as well.

Pringle of Scotland SS17 LFW runway inspired look at Debenhams

My other 2 looks were inspired by Pringle of Scotland SS17 LFW show that was also streamed live yesterday at Midday. I watched the show in Silverburn and headed straight to Debenhams in the centre to pick up some items for my runway inspired looks. Another brand with a lovely Scottish connection and my favourite all year round Glasgow wardrobe essentials – knits, checks and stripes. If you’ve watched the show, you will have seen that the next season Pringle of Scotland predicts lots of flowy whites, cropped and maxi flares, blues, navy and plenty of stripes with subtle checks. So much choice in Debenhams with similar items from Principles, Edition, Dune and many other lovely brands. I particularly loved how Pringle of Scotland creatively accessorised the runway models with scarfs and chokers at the SS17 show. The longer thinner scarfs were tied round their necks as chokers and other wider shawls around their shoulders with beautiful bows at the back. So feminine and fun at the same time. If you don’t have a scarf that you can use as a choker to go with your outfit – use a fabric tie belt like I did. Be creative, be bold and don’t be scared to play around with accessories. Mix and clash prints too. Both of the above looks were created at Debenhams in Silverburn yesterday so the items are all available to buy there now.

There were so many other gorgeous pieces I loved in Silverburn. I might have to get my hands on some of the below from Debenhams and Topshop. What do you think?
