Ardelle is back with a collection to inspire women to continue growing into the person they want to be, using fashion as the language that can help you start. The result of a personal time in founder Ardelle Fawehinmi’s life, Bloom ‘is connected to the part of my heart that believes in growth, even in the most dire situations’, she tells me.

You can expect classic and refined silhouettes from this collection with the signature exaggerated sleeve and cut out back, taking note this season of holiday silhouettes.

THE K LABEL: BASIK

• 

• 

The K Label are bringing Y2K into the 21st century with a take on the trend that says grown and sexy. The K Label, created by Karice Leila, became known for their ultra-feminine iterations of the tracksuit, and two pieces usually featuring a short skirt and structured long-sleeve top.

Recently introduced is the basiK collection featuring figure hugging maxi skirts and short-sleeve tops as a new aesthetic for The K Label. You’ll find four staples in the basiK collection: a V-neck corset top, a corset fitted t-shirt, multi-panelled leggings and a maxi skirt in three colour ways: pansy pink, oatmeal and petrol. The simplicity of the pieces make them great for layering, and the maxi skirts with a choice of matching long-sleeved or short-sleeved top are great for the transitional season, whilst the skin-tight fit still allows you to show off.

HERON PRESTON X CALVIN KLEIN

• 

• 

Heron Preston has taken on Calvin Klein’s brand DNA, adding his own sensibilities, as well as his friends, into the mix in his first collection with the label. Keeping it fresh, minimal and youthful, Preston says “I just wanted to find a universal language that speaks to a global audience. One that doesn’t alienate but rather invites you in this world of simplicity, removing complexity and allowing you to discover your own style through the comfort and support of the garments”.

The collection features essentials like t-shirts, joggers, denim and underwear that camouflage the branding which is usually boldly emblazoned across their pieces and instead focuses on the cut, silhouette and texture of each piece, creating simple but quality pieces that can form a base for you to build your style on.
