Typical Girls - Like Typical Freaks




The latest Typical Freaks anti-fashion, kawaii punk infused collection has dropped and No Debutante is loving it!

The SS19 collection features the signature scribbled, abstract screen prints, layered up on streetwear garms from denim jackets, short, boxy cotton skirts and embellished, high waisted mom style trousers to oversized long t-shirts, all styled up in textured layers of fun!

Typical Freaks SS19



Featuring azure and royal blues contrasted with white as the main colourways, with bright yellow and orange, mint green, rose pinks and reds joining them with an extra contrast of graphic black layered over the prints.

The No Debutante fave pieces from SS19 have to be the denim jackets, they come in all sorts of shapes from boxy and oversized to cute crops, all smothered with the random Typical Freaks scribbles and swirls with chevrons and checkboards joining the hand drawn Typical Freaks prints this summer.






Typical Freaks AW18

We can swoon over the spring summer pieces but in reality we are only just approaching AW18 and need a bit of autumnal inspo, I am not a dedicated trend follower and we can, of course, wear any of these garms all year round, but a little bit of AW style inspo is always welcome, especially when you are not, naturally, a winter type of person! The Typical Freaks AW18 collection does not disappoint!




Keeping that Typical Freaks style but with some new shapes added in for the colder months, this collection features, cute hand drawn grid prints (inspired by the grids on a cutting mat), ruffled hemmed oversized dresses, cuddly and bright printed scarves. 

(TIP ALERT- Make your scarf part of your outfit, not just an accessory you throw on to keep warm). 

Typical Freaks SS19 features colour blocked t-shirts and the bleached cotton skirts, jackets and trousers that are Typical Freaks staples, all emblazoned with the textured and abstract prints with layered up styling.




The main base colour for AW18 is black, contrasting with raspberry reds, lilac, mint green, azure blue, and white, with a subtle pop of yellow here and there. 

Typical Freaks create their own versions of prints, like a grid or checkerboard print, they sketch their prints by hand and then reproduce them as screen prints and often hand paint over the top of these, layering up those prints and creating theor own unique style! 

They have to be one of the only designers, whose sketchy and hand drawn fashion illustrations manage to look exactly like the finished garms! You know where you are with a Typical Freaks fashion illustration! It's a very inspiring process for a (wannabe/wish I had more time) designer. I love that everything right down to the long white printed socks (and sometimes even shoes) have had the Typical Freaks printed magic added to them. 




This collection features asymmetric panel tops, that that remind me of early Vivienne Westwood cuts from her punk and Pirate collections, not playing by the rules and creating their own shapes, using off centre cutting and DIY techniques. It's really rather clever, despite it's anti fashion/ ripping up the pattern cutting rule book ethos. Who doesn't love a fashion rebel?





The No Debutante fave from this collection and perhaps the most wearable (after the t-shirts) are the mom style high-waisted, colour block jeans. But of course everything is just fantastic and inspiring! 

With prices ranging from £150 for the denim skirts to a very reasonable £45 for a t-shirt, you need to be seen wearing Typical Freaks, with even more bargains to be found in their sale collections and on Depop (socks from £10 and tees for £20), every one can get a bit of Typical Freaks!
