July/August Drop: ‘Everyday Utopia’
‘Everyday Utopia’ is a trans-seasonal range that has a fresh, young colour palette combining lime and blush to refresh your winter blues.
Everyday Utopia is about appreciating the everyday things, finding beauty in the mundane & everyday life. We have brought in the mundane icons like a block of flats and vintage telephones to make our cute conversationals.
We have also channelled the pastel colours into coats so that you feel wrapped up for winter whilst rocking a great fashion shade.

Whether your customer is shopping for work or play, these mix and match style pair up perfectly for early August.Don’t be afraid to layer these lines when styling the mannequin-YOAD32 can be layered beneath YOAT33 and worn with skirt YOSA05. Light colours for end of summer- but layering in prep for autumn/winter. These can be outfit built on a table or hanging-however please ensure the culottes are hung to avoid creasing!

Outfit Building- Example
Outfit Building: The Rules
• Identify a colour palette for your drop.• Outfit build on the rail by following a pattern, for example: Dress first, top, skirt, another top that can be worn with the skirt, jumper/cardi for layering… Think of going from top to
bottom. I couldn’t fit another style in here, but on an item where it can be challenging to layer like a dress, try putting knitwear or a coat with it.• Ask yourself, ‘would I wear this if I was the customer?’• Always stand back and approach your display as if you were the customer. Are they seeing the top bestselling shape/print first? Which price point are they noticing first? Will this
help your ASP?• Front-face your bestselling shapes and prints. Layering styles work better built as a story. Don’t always front face your lowest priced line.
Matching colours to the dress, shirts can be worn with skirt that ties into the next story
Broken up with lighter contrasting colours.The t-shirt can be worn with the garments on
either side, and the whole can be an outfit.
Keep prints together in the same story- eg
this print matches the skirt
These styles can also be layered with lines on the left- colours
are broken up.
