Sportswear & Streetwear

Sportswear and fashion has made an interesting duo over the last few years within contemporary fashion both on the high street and on the catwalk. The duo sparks that many designers have gained much of their inspiration from the street, this is because many of us combine sportswear to our everyday outfits and we have broken the barrier that sportswear can only be worn during sporting activity. There have been many designers that support or have supported sportswear in their collections over the years, menswear designer Astrid Andersen has captivated the sportswear and streetwear style in the last 7 collections she has designed, she has created looks that are very masculine that capture the street attitude persona and finishing it with hip hop references. What I find very interesting about her designs is that although she only creates clothing for men, much of the materials she uses are very feminine along with the colours also.

Editorials and Stylists This Month...

I have decided that every month from now on I’m going to post either one or more editorial/s that I have come across that I really like! This is something that will help me with inspiration, let you guys know what editorials I like and what types of magazines are out there other than the obvious fashion magazines that are right in front of us. I am a strong believer that the internet is highly inspirational and it is up to us to explore it to our best ability, look for unusual fashion magazines, and keep on top of the trends and news. Aswell as posting editorials I’m also going to post work by different fashion stylists who I’m inspired by and admire the work of. Some of the things I post may not be up to date, but as mentioned its things that I found interesting. I have a huge love for independent and underground fashion magazines as they all express individuality, I feel that they publish things that I can truly relate to, weather it is fashion, music or culture! I’m going to promote and bring awareness to these magazines as they’re doing something that I have always wanted to see.
