When the H&M AW08-9 lookbooks came out, they caused a bit of a blogging frenzy, and the 'I want this and that' comments flooded in. Without an e-commerce site (When will it happen? Someone should make it happen...) though, I find it difficult to track lush H&M stuff hitting stores so I end up passing by whatever bit of wickedness is happening there. Topshop is a different story and with the New York store launching this autumn, it will be even more imperative that things get on the site in a more timely fashion.
Their press day yielded some blurry pictures from myself so their lookbooks give a much clearer picture. I'm not really planning for my AW08-9 to be an aggressive, drenched-in-black season but it seems the looks, with the exception of a nude furry and chiffony affair (left), I'm attracted to are of that ilk. Corset tops, bodies, short and tight with an addition of upper body volume and of course some sheeny shiny lace-ups boots. Even the mixed denim looks are working for me...
There's a sort of scrubbed-down slickness that I like about the looks... supposedly we are meant to be growing up a bit for next season and getting ladylike and a bit sombre but I'm thinking the party child in me will remain for a bit yet especially if invest in the zippy short dresses and leather fringed skirt.
