Emerging Fervour

Leather pieces are a must this season as I explained in my Bohemian Luxe crush entry.

Based in Chiswick, Fflur Owen has taken leather pieces to another level with laser cut leather, leather fringing and fantastic oversized accessories.

LOOK.

The dress on the right is amazing MIND-BLOWING.

I’m loving the oversized earrings on the left and slouchy bag on the right.

Fflur is a 2009 University of Westminister Fashion Graduate, who’s final collection (above) has obviously caused a positive stir in fashion world.

“Fflur Owen’s graduate collection is like lighting out for the territory – a mix of native spiritualism and natural grace. Laser cut leathers, leather fringing, over sized accessories and buffalo motif conjure up images of an American Indian landscape where the spirits of ancient animals roam freely” Dazed

I’m sure you’ve all now fallen in love with Fflur so if you would like any of the pieces then visit her site at www.fflur.co.uk. You can also contact her on +44 (0)7772 596623 or email at fflur@fflur.co.uk

Ok, I’m having an obsession at the moment with the whole Bohemian Luxe/Foho thing that has been a showstopper for Gucci’s A/W 2008/2009 collection for both men and women.

There is so much choice out there for this look, how can anyone shy away from having a go?

Women’s key items to this look are:

• folk inspired leather pieces
• luxe fur or fur trimmed pieces
• peasant shirts
• embroidery and paisley prints
• charm / coin belts and jewellery
• fringed long skinny scarves
• fringed boots or shoes

Wear this look with bed hair and smoky eye make up to get the most out of it. Match it up with long flowing hair for the ultimate Esmerelda meets sex-goddess look.

For those of us working on a budget, high street stores such as French Connection have really gone for it with Foho – in fact their collections seem to be getting better and better lately.
