That Thing AW 18 Launch Party

Streetwear and lifestyle queens That Thing dropped their AW18 fashion collection yesterday.

Bristol really supports it's independents and this launch party was full of fashionistas, friends and customers checking out the new collection and hanging out with the That Thing girls whilst Bristol's Bitch Please DJ's provided the soundtrack for the night. There was even a queue outside to get in! 

Inspired by the mossy greens of the designer, Joh Rindom's, Scandinavian homelands, this collection features warm earthy tones of forest and fern greens, creamy golds and a black contrast.  The collection comes in cuddly knits, lurex sparkled tops and super soft jerseywear pieces, perfect for the winter months whilst adding a bit of glam for that sparkly Christmas season that is rapidly approaching. 

"I was really deep nature inspired so we have a lot of soft textures and darks greens and black, a real comfort feel for autumn/winter".  Joh Rindom - That Thing 

Joh was resourceful in her pattern cutting with this collection. By combining the top half of one design and the bottom half of another, she created block paneled garms that also reduced fabric waste. You know how we love a bit of sustainability here at No Debutante! 

No Debutante's fave pieces included the luxe double trumpet sleeve t-shirt dress, the super-soft unisex trackies, and this years streetwear staple - the bucket hat. Now what to add to my Christmas list this year? 

The AW18 collection is currently available in the Stokes Croft shop in Bristol and will be available online alongside the Lookbook shortly. Watch this space. 

Debutante World

Bright colours, big prints and clashing fashion styles is how No Debutante rolls, with a lifestyle to match it. Two jobs, three kids, a club night, a soon to be launched fashion label and a band are just a few of the ways this blogger fills her time!

Spring fashion round up

Fashion season is in full swing here in Bristol, with so many fashion events happening over the past month from new collections, fashion shows, pop-up shops and fashion salvage's, it's been fun, fun, fun for this fashionista!

With new fashion events come new fashion goodies and with new fashion goodies comes No Debutante needing some of these new fashion goodies to wear and share with you lovely lot.

From fashion goodies by local designers to a random Dr Marten obsession (it just kinda crept up on me...) mixed with the usual No Debutante print clashing, sportswear-loving, layer obsessing, oversized styling, fashion mash-up in bold bright colours from tomboy cool to girlie cute. I think I have everything is covered!

The Dr Martens Obsession...
