Fashion Crush - Nico Panda

I am always attracted to anti-fashion brands and designers. Creatives who dress unique people with unique style. I have a few higher end designers, by higher end I mean designers who might get their  garms featured in Vogue, not couture, just those anti fashion designers that have somehow broken through the mould, It's not that I think Vogue is on a pedal-stool, I love it for what it is but it really doesn't support independent fashion brands until they have made it or at least have some of Daddy's money behind it...There is still a lot of elitism attached to Vogue but that's a whole different blog post! And...y'know, if Vogue, kinda asked me, to maybe, start writing for them, then, well yeah, I guess, I'd be up for it...

Over the years I have crushed on these high end anti fashion designers including Meadham Kirchhoff, Gosha Rubchinskiy and Ashish but on my current obsession list are Gypsy Sport, Typical Freaks and Nico Panda. 

Today, I am going to share my fave garms from the latest Nico Panda SS19 collection that was recently shown at New York Fashion Week and a few AW 2018 garms to get us set up ready for when the cold really kicks in! Remember to recreate your fave looks your way, this is for inspiration too! 

In brief, Nico Panda is the creation of Japanese/Italian, New Yorker Nicola Formichetti. A NYC streetwear brand that mixes print clashes and bright colours with gender neutral streetwear styling and kawaii-punk style graphics. The mash ups don't end there with influences from grunge to futuristic drag to super cute and fluffy 90s rave, Nico Panda is just amazing! I want it all! Enjoy the show!

GYPSY SPORT

Gypsy Sport pretty much describes my summer style. I have dubbed (or rather hashtagged) this side of my style as boho or Dolly Sports. Its sports wear mixed with sheer fabrics and boho influences. A pair of Adidas tracksuit bottoms worn under a sheer slip dress or sports socks and sliders worn with a tasselled kimono, crop top and retro style sports shorts. I love the juxtaposition of the pretty festival boho garments and dolly smocks worn with street-styled up sportswear. I am well aware, it's a look that will upset some people but I just adore it. This look may be a bit extreme for some but I am already a massive fan. Pretty dresses and cute sports wear? What's not to like here?

Imagine my joy when I discovered Gypsy Sport the brand, which happens to be a New York label by the club kid designer Rio Uribe who mixes sheers and slip dresses with sportswear, redesigning sports wear street styles, creating an androgynous & edgy unisex collection with models dressed in glitter make up, sportswear, slip dresses embellished with fringed tassells and frills, in oversized cuts and bright colours. Gypsy Sport are ridiculously unique and have stepped way out of the fashion comfort box, it's proper No Debutante fuelled styling, I wanna join the Gypsy Sport tribe!
