Spring 2011: High Flag 2011 - Fashion Week Coverage - Predictions AW11
ISSUE FIVE
! After about 2 years on hiatus, WestFASHION MAGAZINE now being resurrected, we are excited than ever. Unfortunately, the magazine will be published in a four to six months cycle instead of every seasons like before, and the magazine will be treated as an archive of what the blog have featured with more pictures and details, of course. We hope you will enjoy this "archive# magazine as much as you did for our blog, and guaranteed it will be the one to keep for. ! Alongside with our on-going campaigns “High Flag” to hunt down the bands and brands that will rule 2011, few styling tips for this season and the season ahead & the season after. Jot some notes down, or start hunting for bargains for the next season (Winter) and the one after. anyway instead of me starting cursing on people to bargain shop, I shall let you enjoy this 20 pages of inspirational "bible#. ! ! ! ! !

GLAM? LFW AW11Who said fashion week is glamorous? It involves more than a week of waking up at 7am and going to bed at 3am
drunk, while so, being cattle into shows. On the bright side, it is full of inspirational moments and interesting designers
to discover as always. While we had 14 blog posts about the various shows, along with commentaries and imagery, this
feature will feature the most stunning and outstanding ones along with those that WestFASHION will stand by and
support in future.
If you feeling like seeing bit of action instead of reading a bunch or looking at bunch, go to our YouTube channel
(youtube.com/westfashion) . All the videos that we filmed are all up and running.

RECAP SS11I!m sure you would have your summer wardrobe sorted out by the time you read this, but let just remind you what!s the
key trends and are now available in your local high street shops now.
If you see a (HS) which means the trends are for High Summer. High Summer is a progression collection or so-called
the Resort / Cruise collection between the two seasons.
Ladies first.
The Aqua!s - always been a sub-trend (accompanying) from previous years but this summer, these bright (in your face)
colours are making its return (maybe not the ugly mustard orange) in all shapes and forms. Other than those 5 you
seen above, the fresh light khaki been seen scatter round the high street. To some of us, the aquas are hard to work
with especially those with floppy bits (like myself), but instead of having a HTT (Head to toe) in Aqua, think about using
the Aqua as accessories or contrast with a solid dark trousers.
Silhouette:-
Drop-shoulder line (HS) - achieved by wearing about 2 sizes up, only applicable to sweater or tops.
Maxi-dresses - achieved by picking the right colours and look for straps, work with a light casual jacket.
Summer-tee - the basic 3.99 tee from H&M could do the trick just fine.
The AW10 Relay - I called this as AW10 Relay as the season is practically the season replay, but of course, in different
shapes and cuts. Yet again, the khaki (just like any other winter season) colour started the season, injecting the utility
form into the season. Ash Grey isn!t a new colour but recently lots of high brands (Acne) and high street (COS) been
using it to collaborate its minimal characteristics. (Sounds like they found a new way of doing tailoring without going all
mono). Royal Blue with Azure are just a move on from last SS season with all those hypes of light / sky blue.
Silhouette:-
Long-Short suit (HS) - meaning long-sleeve shirt + tailored shorts, match with contrast belts + buttons (if possible)
Summer Coat - Something to put on / off without irritating you and the one round you.
Drop-shoulder / Boxy - The loose neckline (not those ugly deep-V nor deep round). You will be able to tell the
difference between crew + loose crew.
GUESS AW11It is fun to guess trend. We shall let you guess both men & women trends from the pictures below. Take out a little
notebook as it is quite a few pages long.
We will reveal the trends we predicted within the next quarter.
Clockwise from Top left: Marni, Marni, Costume National, Duckie Brown, Jil Sander, Raf Simons, Burberry Prorsum,
Acne
Remember each one of the image represents a trend. Keep guessing. It could be a colour, a cut, a style.
See our predictions within the next 3 months.
