Last Wednesday, I travelled up to a rather drizzly London to check out Next's Spring/Summer 14 collection. As always, there was a lovely mix of colour, patterns and fabric, this time situated in the super cool London Film Museum.
The womenswear was full of interesting colour ways and textures. The attention to detail was brilliant - the cut-out leather on a bag, unusual crochet/lace, sheer panels, quilting.. the return of riviera stripes always pleases me too.
I was drawn to the bold colours in the menswear, as well as the knitted t-shirts & Hawaiian prints giving a vintage feel.
The girls' range was full of gorgeous prints that really reminded me of Liberty prints. Whenever I see cute summer dresses like these, I wish I was littler so that I could fit in them! The yellow polka dot one especially.
The boys' range usually has loads of cool printed shirts that I'm always attracted to, but this time the only thing that caught me were the dinosaur printed shirts. Everyone loves a good dinosaur.
If it weren't for Christmas around the corner, I'd be wanting to fast forward to Spring right now!
BEST goody bag ever! I've been after this hat for ages!

Hmm, wondering if the dinosaur tee will be big enough to fit me..
ReplyDeleteNext is a shop I always walk through and never browse through (apart from the awesome kids wear which makes me want to breed) but this has changed my mind, they are set to release some really lovely prints!
