Minimalistic Tendencies

This week on Fashion156 it's Minimalism Week, and I have to admit, I want it to be Minimalism month atleast! I have always dressed in a simplistic manner; spending most days in a pair of heels, jeans and an array of shirts, chic and easy to spend my day in meetings and running around. The masters of minimalism in the fashion world today are Celine, Alexander Wang and Costume National, to name but a few.

To celebrate minimalism, Fashion156 has put together theit best selection of street style photos and buys to guide you through the trend. Combining textures, cuts and colours; it's about effortless chic, that's still clever and a breath of fresh air.

Being such a fan of the look, a lot of my work has been based on such clean and crips ideas, so I thought now would be a perfect time to share it with you!

Acne A/W 11

Acne have always been one of my favourite brands as their minamilsm in shape and colour is something that I am deeply attracted to. For the styling project I am working on currently, I am going for a minimal, industrial feel for the photoshoot. This has led me to look at a lot of Acne, Alexander Wang and Calvin Klein as they all channel simple lines and structures in their collections.

Acne's A/W 11 collection is beautifully simple but still full of colour. Dresses come in leather and tulle, maxi skirts come teamed with large cut out fronts and shorts underneath and hemline lengths are played with throughout. Here are a few of my favourites looks from the Women's collection.
