Typical Freaks Spring/Summer 18 Lookbook faves

Just over a year ago I shared the Typical Freaks love with you all here on the No Debutante blog. I am always so inspired by independent designers that incorporate bright colours, inspiring cutting skills and their own graphic prints into their creations. Typical Freaks epitomise this style and still create handmade prints covering voluminous shapes and staying true to their kawaii punk beginnings, seven collections in as Typical Freaks. 

Here are some of the No Debutante faves from the Spring/Summer 18 Lookbook. 
The colours mix together lush greens and blues with bold yellow, pretty pinks with contrasting greys and bright oranges, in the familiar Typical Freaks sea urchin style abstract prints, the candy coloured vertical stripes and an appearance of a new monkey print outlined in black, Keith Haring style. Shapes are voluminous and billowing, in fun childlike t-shirts and dresses, with white denim style cottons printed up or in full on bold and summery colours. Frills feature heavily again, with elasticated style gathers appearing on dresses and trousers in a big mash up of kawaii punk sportswear that looks super bright and super comfy! The styling is topped off with bold coloured eyes or lips, printed socks and a return of the white sandal this summer! Nice! 

The last image is from Typical Freaks AW17 Lookbook, this outfit is amazing, look at the frills, the oversized cut and the prints for starters! It also shows you how versatile fashion is becoming with many designers now opting for unisex garms for all. I think we are a bit early on in the day to see gender specific areas banished from clothing stores but there certainly is a change in the air within the genres of fashion at the moment, which is both inspiring and exciting!

The Bigger The Better

More oversized T-shirt fun from No Debutante, buy yours three sizes bigger or from the mens departments, layered over jeans and leggings in the winter or shorts in the summer, from a boxy oversized t-shirt worn as a dress to a full on maxi tshirt dress (make sure its baggy not fitted). 

Why not try to upcycle two old oversized t-shirts (cutting the second t-shirt below the armholes and sewing it to the bottom of the first t-shirt to make your own upcycled long t-shirt dress, it doesn't have to be perfect) and get inspired!

Try oversized tshirts made from fabrics other than jersey like rigid cottons, sheers or mesh fabrics, anything goes as long as it's oversized!

Here's a few ways I've worn mine including the upcycled long t-shirt made from two upcycled t-shirts found at the Bristol Textiles Recycling Mini Fashion Salvage event.

 MESH LAYERING

 DOLLY SPORTSLUXE

Fix Up Look Sharp Vs No Debutante

Following the Fix Up Look Sharp AW15 Preview event last month I was very excited to borrow a bag of FULS goodies to dress up No Debutante stylee. For those of you who are not aware FULS are an Independent fashion label based in Bristol, all the garments are made from donated fabrics and clothing into one-of-a-kind fashion pieces to raise funding for CLIC Sargent's vital work with children and young people with cancer.
 
No Debutante loves Fix Up Look Sharps' use of bright prints, colours and unique and voluminous shapes and styles, as I have said before, I love a label that pushes fashion boundaries leaving the more conservative fashions miles behind.  It was an absolute pleasure to style up these Fix Up Look Sharp garments  and I seriously could have carried on styling up the garments for hours, I had such fun with it, print clashing and layering the FULS garments up with my own wardrobe, which seemed to work rather well since these are the exact style of garments that I go for!  In this post the garments are from the SS 2015 range and I will be sharing the No Debutante styled up FULS AW 2015 Preview range very soon. You can preview the AW 2015 range here

There are currently a few collabs under No Debutante's fashionista belt and all will appear on the blog over the next few weeks! Including more from the fun filled Fix Up Look Sharp, Bristols Upcycling queen Helen from Kecks Clothing and the fashion salvage team from Bristol Textiles Recycling. Watch this space!
