TREND EXPOSED: HOLOGRAPHIC

CHRISTOPHER KANE SPRING/SUMMER 2014

The holographic trend is one which has been bubbling on the surface for a while now, but we must brace ourselves for this glittering trend is about to cast its very own garishly dazzling rainbow over the fashion world for spring and summer. I'm a fan- I won't lie. I've always loved iridescent colors and I'm so glad to see so many designers embrace the holographic beauty this upcoming season. Christopher Kane, being one of many, has encapsulated the trend in a very chic way in his SS '14 Collection using many neutral tones mixed with holographic pieces and accessories. Both the peep toe and court shoe have incorporated the shimmering colors in a very classic and dignified way. Succeeding in making the holographic print dainty but not too audacious is not an easy feat... Christopher Kane we salute you!

I've seen numerous high street brands attempt the trend, but not until I found this incredible pair of boots (on  http://www.boohoo.com/) that I knew I had found the perfect holographic piece for my wardrobe...

What i love about these boots (apart from their amazing color) is the way they can be worn casual and dressy, also they are relatively comfortable and an affordable way of nailing the holographic trend. There is a more detailed version of the boots with buckles and other hardware but i thought I'd go for the more classic, simple and wearable option...and I can't wait to style these babies up!

Another master of all things holographic has to be Jonathan Saunders, where again, the iridescent colors have been used in a tasteful way to create a bold and diverse collection.
