In light of the fast approaching festive season and a burgeoning events calendar, we look to past MOJEH shoots for tips on styling for the weeks ahead.
For those looking to move away from a classic style opt for a less predictable and more playful silhouette. Sequins and layer upon layer of embellishment will lift what could otherwise be a daytime look to evening attire.
Sixties-style shift dresses will forever be a New Year’s favourite. Update the look with bubblegum hues, sequins and interesting cutouts.
Step away from the dress. Suits have become a go-to for both the board and ballroom, especially since Karl Lagerfeld’s gender-defying take on the wedding gown for Chanel’s A/W15 haute couture show. Look toward soft tailoring for a feminine take.
Mix sparkly details with sheer fabrics for a look that leans more towards soft and sensual, as opposed to loud and garish. A great option in any hue, but black keeps things elegant and refined.
'Haute bohemia' is the buzzword of 2015. A blend of feathers, florals and fly-away fabrics in earthy hues lend themselves perfectly, but the key is in the craftsmanship when taking the trend from day into night.
Peacock hues are a seasonal must, offering a certain richness that can’t be found in candy colours. Extend the extravagance beyond just colour with voluminous shapes and floor sweeping gowns.
If simplicity is your thing then look towards awe-inspiring accessories to up the ante. The right piece can turn even the humblest of cotton dresses into an event favourite.
On the other hand, if December is your month to show the world what you’re made of then don’t be afraid to go big. Extravagant hats, full-length gloves and heavy embellishment…there’s no such thing as 'too much'.
