Paperback Model


Lusty and librarian are not two words you would usually put together in the same sentence. However there is still a burgeoning fashion crush on the nerdy and neat. The antithesis of cool; bow ties, waistcoats and geek-chic glasses are still trotting around ironically sported by the country’s cool kids. The statement is an odd one; to me it’s a really perplexing trend. Will ‘meek geeks’ need to rebrand in order to withstand the pressure of becoming mainstream mannequins?
That said this season's bespectacled, secretary-chic has a somewhat softer more subdued approach. Poetic florals and literature tweeds were mixed with socks and super-sensible shoes. Overall I'm not such a big fan, it all seems a bit dowdy rather than romantic. Artistic maybe, dull a little, timeless perhaps *yawn*. If you like Ghost, Noa Noa, Jigsaw et al, you will love the whispy creations from Paul Smith and Marc Jacobs as well as the prim looks from Chloe and the new layered smock dresses that are walking straight out of a pottery class near you.
