Ploy & Ploy

Continuing on from my previous post, here are another pair of friends with matching names and kick-ass style! I met Ploy and Ploy outside the Dolce & Gabanna show in Milan and they literally stopped me in my tracks. Ploy (above) works bold, block colours with her bright red jacket (get a similar one here), matching lipstick and sheer black shirt and trousers. The mirrored sunglasses and leather gloves give her look extra edge. While Ploy (below) blossoms in floral-print trousers and scarf. She balances the look with a subtle black top, tailored jacket and amazing mesh-detail heels.

Monochrome Stripes

Skinny stripes in Paris

A black and white striped trouser makes a big, bold statement. The attention grabbing skinny stripes above are worn with a leather jacket, fur trim and giant platforms to give a youthful rock ‘n roll look. Motel do a great pair for only £48 and you can get them here.

Striped trousers in Milan

These striped kick flare trousers create a chic and modern look put together with a simple charcoal jumper and stiletto heels. Zara do a gorgeous pair of striped palazzo trousers for only £25.99! Definitely a bargain worth grabbing.

Prada SS12 on the street

Fashion doesn’t get more fun that the Prada SS12 collection. The nostalgic 1950s pieces with whimsical references to Cadillacs, hot rodding and golfing make for a beautiful collection with a sense of humour. It’s Grease lighting all the way with the bejewelled bomber jackets and flame motifs – I love it! Here are some photos I took of the collection out on the street at fashion week.
