London designers have definitely chosen to look on the bright side of life : playing with textures and tones at Mary Katrantzou (that baby blue plastic ruffle!), optical prints at Jonathan Saunders and a major eighties revival complete with metallic jacquards and oversized mismatched earrings (we predict a sell-out) at J.W. Anderson. Our favourite looks have to be the drawings featured on Christopher Kane‘s silhouettes : if the nudes make for a definite art school vibe, we’re loving the elegant profiles sewn on to simple shift dresses and skirts – a bit surrealist, a bit Monsieur Saint Laurent, and very chic.

Spring is only just round the corner, but the latest New York collections (almost) make us yearn for the cooler days again… Can you really blame us : one look at the vibrant polonecks at J.Crew or the “cool-girl-with-a-biker-boyfriend” leather jackets at Coach and we’re on board. And if all that is teamed with the sleek seventies look at Derek Lam or, at the other side of the spectrum, the pop art world of Spanish brand Delpozo, we’re a completely hopeless case. Sorry, spring!

What better way to start the week than with a pair of amazing shoes ?
Major love for these Tommy Hilfiger star-embossed ankle boots from the spring-summer 15 collection – who would have known that the king of preppy would come up with such a rockstar piece ? A cross between a 70′s groupie vibe and David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust, we at Please! think these metallic leather booties would look just as good on our feet than put up on a shelf for all to admire…

After a series of (seriously lust-worthy) Pop Art-style creations – namely her Kellog’s-inspired bags and clutches, now mostly sold-out – Anya Hindmarch’s latest collection chooses to deal with Pop influences through a comic-strip aesthetic : a bowling bag gets covered in leather-embossed messages, alongside emoji-style smiley face, cutesy drawings and various exclamation marks. My favourite : a two-tone leather bag across which can be read « Bags have feelings too ! » – an ironical take on the ever-disposable side of the fashion industry ? Exclusive to this season, the British designer has launched an interactive « Sticker Shop », an online platform selling leather stickers created in collaboration with Charlotte Stockdale of Chaos Fashion, so that the Hindmarch touch can be extended to a variety of surfaces, from bags to purses and even electronics. Welcome to Anya’s world !
