INSPIRATION

Summer is on the way – we got the memo straight from Helen Steele’s supecharged supernova prints.

Uncompromisingly bold, fearlessly bright yet ohso-elegant, the spring/summer line of wearble statement pieces is a testament to the awardwinning designer’s inimitable ability to mix comfort and creativity.

Remaining true to her maverick roots, this season sees fluid fabrics and saturated colours reflect the emancipated spirit of the modern woman. Free-spirited femininity at its best.

STYLE NOTES

● LOOK TO LAYERING: Fluid silhouettes allow for lovely layering. Pair similar prints like tunics or tops with trousers. Finish with simple silders for easy chic.

● TRY A TURBAN: Worn high on the head, pirate style or around the neck, the scarf is a seasonal style staple that’ll turn heads – however you wear it.

● NO ACCESSORIES NEEDED: Embrace the breezy brio of the warmer days by leaving the jewellery at home. Let the prints do the talking instead.

● SIMPLIFY WITH SEPARATES: Divide and conquer with the law of separates. A printed top and trousers elongate and create instant impact; individually they lend curiosity to the simplest of basics. Win win.
