I'm still on a high after seeing Florence and the Machine in concert last Sunday. I've written about Florence before. You can find it here:

Florence has been a muse of Gucci for several years, and the brand's Bohemian style suits her. That night she performed in a dreamy chiffon Gucci dress. Florence twirled and danced on and off the stage (barefoot); it was no surprise to see raw skin on her knee and smudges of blood on the dress. Not missing a beat, she said, "You know it's a good night when you get blood on a Gucci dress!"
The latest H&M collaboration was unveiled today. No, it's not with Gucci, but this textured chiffon blouse reminded me of Florence. Amazingly it's only $9.99!
H&M has partnered with Morris & Company. The British wallpaper and fabrics brand was started by William Morris and some fellow pre-Raphaelites in 1861. The style was known as Arts and Crafts; Morris' intricate nature-inspired patterns surely influenced Art Nouveau.
Although the firm officially closed in 1940, the designs are still popular. Liberty of London, custodian of the archive, worked with H&M to create the collection. I would suggest you get to your nearest H&M fast, because it won't last. Everything is wearable; the quality is decent, the prices are fair, and there is that incredible $9.99 blouse.
I really think Florence would wear this, maybe on a non-Gucci day. Certainly you could too.
Is it me? Or are clothes so f'ing ugly that no one has words to describe what is happening?
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. You really, really have to pick and choose these days. But stay strong; there are still some lovely things out there.
DeleteI've always loved her style! <3
