<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">[E]SPADRILLES</span></b></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"When a trainer is too sporty or too clompy and a sandal too uncomfortable in the heat, the summer shoe to turn to is the espadrille." - Jessica Bumpus, Vogue Magazine</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong, I love a gladiator sandal. I think wedges look great under a flirty sun dress and have developed a real obsession with mid-heeled mules. Flip flops, pool sliders - you name it - I'm on board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But for the best in summer comfort <b>and</b> style, you cannot beat the classic espadrille.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still characterised by their traditional rope sole, espadrilles have come a long way since their modest beginnings in the Pyrenees and Mediterranean. Originally worn by men and women, their popularity soared in the late 1940s when seen on Hollywood actresses Lauren Bacall, Sophia Loren and Grace Kelly. By the 1970s they had become a staple trend, with Parisian designer Yves Saint Laurent commissioning the Spanish firm Castañer to create a wedge-heeled version; an act which would secure their place in high fashion.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #282828; line-height: 20.72px;">Today you can find espadrilles in a wide variety of colours, styles and prints. New York brand <i><a href="http://intl.soludos.com/" target="_blank">Soludos</a></i> is a great example of this, offering </span>designs that feature everything from mimosas and flamingos to donuts and avocados.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The question is: which pair to choose?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>"The culotte is a little bit of an 'F-you' piece," says Lowell Delaney, co-designer of London label Trager Delaney. "It's such a power move because it isn't a conventionally sexy look. It says, 'I don't care and I still look better than you even though you're wearing a miniskirt.' </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Loved by some, hated by others; Culottes are fashion’s Marmite. Despite being a favourite amongst designers, many women have struggled to see past the garment’s reputation as clumsy ‘skort’ or girl scouts’ uniform. Others choose to reject the cropped and wide leg styles as dated or ill-fitting.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Don’t be intimidated. Sitting high on the waist and cut at the slimmest part of the leg, culottes are surprisingly flattering on most body types. Though tailored, their looser fit also allows the wearer some ‘leg room’ without the heaviness of palazzo strides and flares.</span></span><br />

Wearing a cropped or halter top, for example, can help to offset the billowing cut of a flared trouser by drawing attention back to the upper half of the body. A chunky sweater or tunic will have the opposite effect, lengthening the torso and creating a smooth silhouette.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: small;">
NB: For a flirty finish play with ‘underwear as outerwear’ and opt for a lace bralet or camisole.</span></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Savannah Miller, elder sister of actress Sienna Miller, once described the "real bohemian" as "someone who has the ability to appreciate beauty on a deep level, is a profound romantic, doesn't know any limits, whose world is their own creation, rather than living in a box".</span></i></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">From fringe and leather to florals and lace, the versatility of the 'boho’ aesthetic has made it one of fashion’s most enduring trends.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">In the early ‘00s women everywhere fell for the “haute hippie” attire favoured by celebrity style icons Sienna Miller and Kate Moss. Featuring vintage pussy-bow blouses, fur gilets and the occasional rubber wellington their look was both festival and red-carpet ready; so labelled the new ‘boho-chic’.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Though some pieces did not stand the test of time (remember coin belts and white peasant skirts?) others continue to take prime place in contemporary spring/summer collections. This year, for example, saw the return of strappy gladiator sandals, distressed denim and crochet vests. High street stores like Topshop and Zara were also full of gypsy blouses and midi-length smock dresses in floral and patterned designs, ready-to-wear with beaded jewellery and tasselled ankle boots.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">These more elaborate patterns illustrate the folk influences in modern bohemian style. ‘Folk’ and ‘boho’ have long lived hand-in-hand, and the rich mix of prints and textures found on recent runways prove the diversity of each trend.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Designer Elie Saab, for instance, aspired to create a modern “folk reverie” in his pre-fall show by contrasting dark lace brocades with vibrant purple and red embroidery. With full skirts and swirling floral appliqué, the result was both feminine and dramatic in its interpretation of classic motifs.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In its celebration of British crafting traditions, Burberry Prosrum’s A/W show at London’s Kensington Gardens was another ode to bohemian “patchwork, pattern and prints”. Models walked to the hazy folk sounds of singer-songwriter Claire Maguire and showcased an eclectic mix of fringed jackets, soft woven ponchos and luxe velvet shearlings in shades of mauve, ochre and teal.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> “I liked the idea of folk crafts and hours of labour” explains designer Christopher Bailey, “I wanted to use a patchwork of materials and techniques.” And so, not forgetting the brand’s reputation for classic tailoring, Bailey transformed Burberry’s more structured silhouettes using mirror detailing, tassels, ponyskin and whip-stitching. Even the signature trench coat was reworked with Durham quilting and hand-painted blossom prints.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">French designer Christian Dior coined the term</span></span></i><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">‘</span>A-Line’ as a label for his 1955 Spring collection. The letter ‘A’ referred to the outline of a "flared jacket worn over a dress with a very full, pleated skirt” and was considered the "most wanted silhouette in Paris”.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></i></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Narrow in the waist and flaring outwards at the hem, the classic shape of the A-Line skirt is suited to almost every figure. Its flattering design skims over rounder hips, helping to balance an hourglass figure whilst concealing problem areas such as the stomach or thighs. It can also add shape to an athletic build by highlighting a slim waist and creating the illusion of curves.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This season’s A-Line skirt is a nostalgic throwback to the soft suedes and stonewashes of the 1970s. The button-front mini is a staple for AW15, featuring autumnal fabrics such as burnt orange corduroy and moss green suede. Channel Jane Birkin in an oversized shirt or pair with tights and a tartan blanket scarf to carry the look into the colder months.</span><br />
