URBAN ARTIST

Curating an outfit is an act of artistic expression, using colours, textures, and cuts to express the different facets making up a person. To add some artistic flair to your style, why not pair our purple blouse with trousers of a similar hue to create a majestic canvas upon which to accessorise? Meanwhile, layering a patterned jacket over the blouse allows the print the space to stand out, whilst the abstract nature of the print imbues the whole outfit with a sense of calm serenity, balancing out the dark hue of the trousers. Including a yellow bag helps to connect each element of the outfit with a playful pop of colour, and a pair of simple heels keeps the look feminine, sophisticated, and wearable for any occasion. Finish the look with some statement jewellery to really home in on your inner ‘Urban Artist’.

WOMAN ON A MISSION

Power dressing and power suits have been a staple in women’s wardrobes for decades, but that doesn’t mean that a little reinvention every now and then isn’t necessary. Vamp up your go-to office attire by incorporating more bold, powerful colours; our demure, purple blouse matches perfectly with a red suit, a colour denoting confidence, bravery, and passion – key qualities of the modern, empowered woman. Accessorising with some baby pink stilettos adds a touch of femininity and fun whilst a simple, black bag ties the look together in a sophisticated and functional manner. Finish off with statement earrings for a look where businesswoman meets style icon.
