MISS UNKON PRESS LOVE

Hello Miss Unkon girls, happy Friday!

We've had some great print coverage from our show at MBFWA and we'd love to share it with you.





FAMOUS magazine 'Top ten trends from MBFWA'

Featuring our 'Magic waters' top and shorts from our SS12 range 'The life between.'

It is so exciting seeing all the lovely pieces for the up and coming season. Throughout the week there were lots of pastel pieces with floral accents. Show stopping neons were also a big part of spring/summer trends for 2012. Details like sheer shirting and cut outs played along the pretty and feminine looks of the warmer months.


FAMOUS magazine 'Backstage beauties'

Featuring our 'Magic waters' top and shorts and 'deep sea dress.'

A whole lot of fun in one page! Models were snapped backstage before, during and after the shows in their lovely Spring/Summer wardrobe. There's nothing like a cheeky pose to capture the mood backstage.


NW magazine 'Whitney's guide to new season trends'

Featuring our 'Flower field top' and 'Spirited life skirt.'
Tv personality, clothing designer and author Whitney Port made a guest appearance at MBFWA. 
Whitney Port takes us through her Spring/Summer new season trends and focuses how to style each trend. 
A key trend for the season is pastel shades which is a key focus throughout our 'The life between' collection.

Whitney says "Pastels all go really well together. It's easy to mix and match and wear multiples all at once.'
Pastels are light and feminine and easy to wear back with existing summer staples like a white shirt or denim shorts.

Here at Miss Unkon we just love soft little sorbet shades for Summer :-)


FAMOUS magazine 'Show stopping beauty'

Featuring our MBFWA hair (bottom left)

With such a colourful and feminine collection we decided to give our Miss Unkon girl a playful top-knot with a difference. Silver rings were added with twists and knots throughout the style to give a contemporary feel to the overall look.

It seemed that the top-knot is still a key trend in hair, with other designers boasting their own take on the favoured hairstyle.

We hope you loved our hair and beauty look as much as we do!


GRAZIA magazine 'Fash weeks 10 hottest beauty moments'

Featuring our signature top-knot hair

We are so happy to be part of Grazia's top 10 beauty moments.



WHO magazine 'Catwalk to closet'

Featuring our 'Peace and harmony dress' from our transeasonal 'Soul keepers' range.

We can't wait to drop our new transeasonal collection throughout July. Not much longer now!

Our lovely peace and harmony dress is a unique piece featuring an assymmetric hemline and cut out detail at the back. It is so versatile and can be worn both casual and dressed up. Such a pretty colour to layer with in the cooler months.

We hope you have all had an amazing week.

Love,
Miss Unkon

MISS UNKON BLOGGER LOVE: JYSLA KAY

We were introduced to blogger and photographer Jysla right before fashion week, and what a talented lady she is! Often spotted photographing Nicole from Gary Pepper Vintage and Margaret from Shine By Three (both part of the Fellt blogger platform) we not only love her photography but her sense of style too. You can follow what she's up to on here blog here. She's been blogging about Miss Unkon over the past few months, and came to our show during Fashion Week (read her review here). We love how she's styled her Miss Unkon Sea Breeze top below and the metallic silver clutch that we gifted at Fashion Week.

We love seeing how Miss Unkon girls style their favorite pieces! If you have pictures of you wearing Miss Unkon email them to hello@missunkon.com and we'll do a special post.

'THE SOUL KEEPERS' LOVELY KNITS AND PRETTY DRESSES

Happy Monday!

You might have just seen on our facebook that we have posted the images from our latest range 'The Soul Keepers' - exciting! It's an injection transeasonal range, full of lovely warm knits and pretty dresses to get you through Winter and into Spring! Dropping in stores and online throughout July, we hope you find pieces you love.

The Soul Keepers collection was inspired by designer Courtney Meyer's love for all animals, and the beautiful connection we have with them.

"The Soul Keepers is a journey of the heart, love and connection of animals that are beside us, on the journey of a girl's life. They are there with us through the ups and downs, creating calm and presence of the beauty of nature. They allow us to experience moment by moment with joy and love. They are a soul imprinted on our heart, always there, by our side, with love."

Keep an eye on our facebook for updates as we might be offering a pre-order on some styles so you can guarantee not to miss out.

See the full collection here,  and enjoy some of the beautiful images from the campaign below.

Love,
Miss Unkon

We've had such an amazing year so far at Miss Unkon, and it makes us all so happy and excited to be able to share it with you. We've blogged about some of the fun had over Fashion Week, but nothing sums it up better than our behind the scenes video which you can watch happily below.

It covers everything from our creative direction, hair and makeup looks and some snippets from the show itself.  We hope you love what we have created with the 'Life Between' range, now only to wait for it to drop in store later in the year!



Enjoy, and we'd love to know what you think and which pieces are your favourite!

Love,
Miss Unkon
