 SAVE THE DATE: SEPTEMBER 14TH

The looks he's designed hasn't been compromised at all as a collaboration and it's very much J.W.Anderson all over, from the quilted paisley to the beautiful shirts. I have my eyes on the pinafore! If only I had money...

£69.99

 I predict pinafores will be the height of fashion by this Winter but especially for next Spring. I also think this piece could be layered really nicely with a shirt and is rather versatile.

£39.99

The print is quite quirky and fun with a little retro feel. The colours will compliment any black jeans and boots.

£59.99

Their signature V neck crew jumper with their logo. You can't really go wrong.

 £59.99

A good shirt dress, I like the concealed buttons and prim collar. This on it's own with a big statement necklace would be great for an effortless look.

I really like this collaboration as a whole, it;s definitely my favourite. If I had the money I would totally be going all out, maybe I'll buy one piece but that really would be naughty of me. Oopsy.

I love paisley!

Paisley as a beautiful eccentric pattern has been around for decades and decades and it's been seen all over the catwalk for this season. I have forever been a fan and so it's nice to see it's coming into the light this summer. Actually i'm pretty darn excited, it thrills me seeing this amount of intricate pattern and detail in flourishes of wild colours of pinks and blues. For me it goes with absolutely everything. Some may find it a tough piece to wear if you like to play it on the sensible side but give it a go. I already have several dresses, shirts, waistcoats, tights and more covered in the print. If you're looking for a fabulous piece or two go ahead and read some more. I'm telling you now, invest!

My tips: Not many high street stores have this pattern in store yet, so head to vintage stores and charity shops, you'll find much better buys at a smaller price. However I'll asure you in a month or so's time this print will be everywhere on the high street.
Also be careful there are alot of monstrous designs out there, we like the bohemian look, but don't go trampy hippy on me.
And no no to head to toe.

 J.W.Anderson

Absolute love for paisley, this dude creates the most brilliant patterns but with a modern edge. Play it pretty with this ditsy petal print.

Nasir Mazhar

Having worked with Viktor & Rolf, Thierry Mugler and more, he's heavily influenced with the hip hop/grime scene. Be bold and on trend in this mix of tropical colours.

Holly Fulton

I have so much love for this girl, so garish, chic and fun. She always get it right with her art deco bold prints. You can't go wrong in this graphic T.

Craig Lawrence

His work heavily revolves round knitting, using inventive tools. The use of silver and gold foil print is striking and will look great day to night.
