Alternative 'it girl' Soko dons velvet, lace and leather in a clash of textures and attitudes for DAZED's cover story this month. Styled up in Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Simone Rocha and Marc Jacobs, it's a lesson in how to channel your inner punk for the AW16 season.
An editorial that is a lesson in how to grunge up those more delicate features from Summer, such as ruffles, sheer layers and frilly sleeves, as we move into the darker and edgier Autumn season.
Whilst many of us are only just starting to appreciate the start of summer, blue skies and festival season - we've been busy thinking ahead to Autumn. For the last month we have been putting the final touches to our upcoming AW15 collection.
As ever, Autumn Winter is all about the layering, dark tones and clashing textures. Our new collection has this and more. More edge. More sleekness. More attitude for our NAVY girls.
Go behind the scenes of our recent look book shoot for a sneak peek of what's to come.
Keep your eyes on Facebook,Twitter and Instagramfor the latest updates about the NAVY London AW15 collection and some big news coming soon. In the meantime, don't miss the SS15 range which is available now at Topshop.
Kate Moss is one of the famous faces in Nick Knight's latest collection of interviews for his 'Subjective' series. Tracing the stories behind some of the most iconic images of contemporary fashion photography and giving voice to the often unheard model's side.
As queen of the 90s grunge fashion scene, it is only fitting that Knight speaks with Kate about the 1993 Calvin Klein campaign, shot by then boyfriend Mario Sorrenti, which catapulted her to the status of supermodel we know her as today.
Ain't much better than a bit of denim and lace to keep you casual, stylish and comfortable. Layer up with an distressed denim jacket or team with some classic dungarees for those sweet 90s vibes.
Lace with denim is our go to Bank Holiday combo so we've been getting some style inspo over on Pinterest ready for the weekend.
With London Fashion Week over until next year and the fashionable elite having directed their attention to Milan, we're looking back over our favourite looks of the SS15 premiered around our favourite city.
Monochrome was once more popular for many designers for SS15. And for Spring there was a surprising amount of black and grey tones on the catwalk. The prominence of sheer materials helped to introduce the rampant use of these dark colours for Spring Summer. We've been witnessing the rise of delicate and sheer materials over the last few seasons so keep hold of those sheer blouses when it comes around to sorting out your spring wardrobe.
With sheer, we also saw a lot of summer layering, lending itself well to the 90s grunge trends which are still lingering on the catwalks. Layer up sheer shirt dresses over metallic slips or throw on an textured jumper over a contrast collar blouse and a sheer midi skirt. See Marques Almeida's SS15 show for a masterclass in summer layering.
Sporty influences were rife especially at Topshop Unique but often contrasted with floaty and textured dresses. Ashish showed us once more to not be afraid of sequins with a collection rooted in slinky slip dresses, distressed denim and sweaters - obligatory mention for the Kanye/KimK sequin masterpieces.
But our stand out SS15 collections came from Simone Rocha, Erdem, and Bora Aksu who presented fresh takes on floaty lace and lazer cut garments that will be perfect for Summer 2015. Here we saw the cream, white and neutral colour tones that we have come to expect for this season. Erdem however, went for a darker and more structured look than we have seen in the past but with exquisite detail as ever and was a highlight of LFW for many.
Now onto the most illustrious of all the fashion weeks, Milan.
Kids is the cult film of the 90s. A dark and disturbing tale of New York City teens as they deal with adolescence, sex, drugs, violence and the consequences.
A film which brought Chloë Sevigny to the forefront of the 90s underground grunge scene and propelled her into the spotlight as a fashion icon and one of the coolest girls in the world.
We’ve been reminiscing over some of our favourite moments from Kids and getting inspired by the pure 90s cult style it is infamous for.
