Spring/Summer Trends: Sheer Fabrics & Embellishments

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

In spring and summer fashion tends to get a little more revealing; we will blame it on the heat. So in 2010 sheer pieces are a mixture of the soft and feminine and innerwear as outerwear with lingerie-inspired lacy dresses and see-through corsetry channels soft and feminine rather than sex kitten.  Run your eyes over the s/s runway collections and you’ll find sheer fabrics used in a multitude of ways: tight sheer pieces, layers, and the much sought after delicate, feminine draping.

I love Rare’s figure sculpting lace keyhole back satin mini dress and Lipsy’s demure yet directional Black Romance frilled mini dress with layers of net tulle both perfect examples of this trend.

While there was a touch of sparkle in the front row of every single show, it’s a trend that is built to last and whether you wear it on your tights, on lamé socks with high heels, woven into your chiffon evening gowns or tied to your handbag, a little bit of glitter always does a girl good.

Meghan ‘oh so’ Fabulous!

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Very in love with fashion today as our new collection Meghan Fabulous has inspired me to think through the arctic conditions we have been experiencing and onto the spring/summer months. Also hearing via FB this morning that a friend of mine has been ’stranded’ in Barbados due to her flight being canceled has made me feel quite sick with envy! Just a little bit of sun would be nice and if not fashion that makes me think of sun!

Handbags At Dawn: It’s Sale Time.

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

You know what it’s like. You’ve been knee-deep in sequins, leather and colour-blocked separates for months now and then all of a sudden 70% off signs are spreading over everything you’ve been lusting after all season. You’re tempted just buy IT ALL. It’s a bargain, right? Well maybe not. Don’t end up blowing your hard-earned Christmas pay for pieces that will look dated by the time that awful New Year’s Eve hangover has worn off. I have to say, my “market research” this weekend (i.e. checking out the post-Christmas sales in town) – was pretty disappointing. The sales just weren’t all that great! Then again, neither were the crowds.

Sale Hell

Sale Hell

In the worst cases fights broke out at some of Britain’s top stores as shoppers jostled for the best bargains at Boxing Day sales. According to shoppers at Gucci, where £500 handbags, shoes and other goods were being sold at half price, a police van and four patrol cars raced to the scene after reports of punches being thrown. This confirms for me, more than ever, the best course of action is to stay home and shop online! Save on petrol, your self esteem(!) and know the bargains and barg-nots before you waste your time and money. Also online sales start earlier – so you can get the best bargains sooner online.

CONSUMER Sales 111849

Smart girls shop savvy which is why we’ve rounded up the all the very best designer fashion, shoes and accessories with up to an A-Mazing 70% off because really who wants to battle against the cold and the crowds with that pesky Christmas hangover…   No queues, no squabbles, just fashion. It’s THAT easy at the designer desirables sales.

Looking Through The Lens At Body Confidence

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Designer Desirables have just recently moved over to live models from mannequins, and one of the first stumbling blocks was where do we find the models, and what size should our models be?  One thing we knew for sure, we wanted a selection of REAL WOMEN not size zero models.  Our models range from a UK 6-8 to a UK 12 and are all from the North of England.

Caroline Size UK 12

Caroline Size UK 12

Caroline is our model who is  UK 12 and is 5 foot 10 and she looks stunning in evening wear.

Caroline has a full time job in retail is getting married in May and making her own wedding dress!

Emma Size 10 Model

Emma Size 10 Model

Emma is our UK 10 curvacious model and has just recently won Miss Galaxy Teen International in the USA.

Emma is a personal fitness instructor and loves chocolate!

Cassie Size UK 10

Cassie Size UK 10

Cassie is a svelte UK 10 and has maintained her natural figure after her gorgeous boy Charlie who is 3 in March.

Cassie will be joining the Designer Desirables team soon, as our in-house model, buyer and editorial manager.

Erin Size UK 6-8

Erin Size UK 6-8

Erin is our UK 6-8 model and is naturally this size.  Erin is currently studying a masters in International Business and hates the maths part of her course.

One of our biggest discoveries from using real women in our clothes was finding that manufacturers are out of touch with sizing for real women today.  This is a concern as we all know what women and girls are like when it comes to label size, and often when we have to go up a size our confidence can be knocked.

At Designer Desirables we want women to feel confident and sexy in all of our garments and our sales team will be able to help you with real sizing in all our garments.  Many of our ball gowns have had to re-sized from size UK 14 and UK 16 down to a size UK 12, not only is this unhelpful for Designer Desirables and our valued customers, but women have a resistance to buy a size up simply because we want to be skinny like the models we see in the magazines and celebrities who are size zero.

birmingham-gok-wan

HOWEVER!  After watching Gok Wan’s How to Look Good Naked we are in full support of his petition calling for a body confidence lesson to be included in all school curriculums. Please click the link provided and support this fabulous petition.  Currently it is the fourth most popular on the Number 10 website so everyone needs to try and get this petition to be number one in order to get noticed.

During the show a magazine commented that they find it difficult to use real women models because the manufacturers will only give them size UK 8 clothes for their photo shoots.  Conversely we believe that they have the power to ask for a bigger size or to use a different manufacturer for a shoot that will give magazines reasonable sized clothes for real women to wear.  There is always room to negotiate so why aren’t magazines trying their hardest to focus photo shoots at real women?  It’s real women who flick through their shiny pages every week?  They have the power to use real women models and get the right sizes for photo shoots.  We can do it as an e retailer so there is no excuse for the magazines!

Body confidence and using real women as models is something we feel very strongly about here at Designer Desirables therefore you have any comments please post them!  Lets not stop here in our fight to get real women in magazines and as models, we all need to do it together!
