3 WAYS TO WEAR TIE-DYE FROM ASOS
Whether it makes you think of ’70s hippies, your elementary school arts and crafts class or Carrie Bradshaw in SATC, tie-dye is officially back. On the SS19 runways, psychedelic prints got a high-fashion makeover via labels like Prada, Dior and Stella McCartney, and at the recent fashion weeks, all your fave influencers were repping hard for the trend. For inspo on how to wear it IRL, below ASOS.com gives you three ways to try it now…
Now that’s what I call ’90s
If this look doesn’t remind you of your childhood, did you even grow up in the ’90s? For real though, the tie-dye T-shirt, lace-up boots and dark lip vibe is a serious throwback moment. Those crisp white jeans are the perfect palette cleanser for the trippy print, and the shell accessories bring a surfer-chick spin. To finish, the wicker bag adds an unexpected twist. To dye for.
Double trouble
Who knew a double tie-dye moment could look so sophisticated? This long-sleeve top and midi skirt get-up is a grown-up spin on the trend and we are so here for it. And, with the addition of some snake-print boots, it could actually be a great option for work (depending on your officewear etiquette). Tie-dye, we hardly knew ya.
Get into the groovy
If you want something different from your standard dress or jumpsuit for going out-out, this tie-dye T-shirt and legging-shorts look is the fresh and funky combo you need in your life. A blazer and some barely-there makeup give it a glam upgrade. And when festival season comes, swap the blazer for a denim jacket and the heels for some sneakers. Ideal.
Fendi x Net-a-Porter Capsule Collection
Fendi is the latest luxury brand to reintroduce its heritage monogram with an exclusive capsule collection in collaboration with Net-a-Porter called the FF Capsule Collection.
Drawn from the Italian label’s 1965 design, the squared logo, updated from the original rectangular version, features heavily on every item with everything from monogrammed outerwear, knits, accessories and shoes on offer.
Embellishing a total of 37 pieces, the FF logo might have had its heyday in the 1990s, but somehow it feels more relevant now than ever before.
The capsule launched on Net-a-Porter as an exclusive worldwide preview on 13 April, with many items already selling out. However, it will become available in selected Fendi stores and on the website from 14 May until the end of the year.

CHLOÉ INTRODUCES THE SONNIE SNEAKER
Guided by the pursuit of discovery both within herself and the world at large, the Chloé girl is constantly exploring with free-spiritedness and determination.
Accordingly, as the new vision for Chloé takes shape under creative director Natacha Ramsay-Levi, the debut of the Sonnie sneaker in the Pre-Fall 2018 collection signals a woman who moves through life with forward momentum.
Dynamic in form and purposeful in function, the design has been conceived as future-iconic – a style that is new today with staying power through the seasons. Among the principal features of the Sonnie sneaker are its sloped silhouette, moulded and split bi-color sole and cross-strap detailing. Whether as a high-top or classic running style, the shoe offers easy slip-on entry aided by a back loop rather than the front straps.
This comfortable nylon upper section is enhanced with a textural mix of suede calfskin, mesh and neoprene – each material contoured as a flattering arrangement. Noticeable in an understated way, the Chloé logo appears embossed on the back and embroidered on the tongue.
The strongest aspect of the Sonnie sneaker is how naturally it integrates with the Chloé wardrobe. Styled for Pre-Fall with a layering play of sport socks, leggings and cropped pants, the shoes can also be worn with toned-down attitude a jolt of athletic edge complementing a tailored blazer and sleek city trousers.
Color accords:
Jungle Green; white with accents of athletic green and sepia red
Light Eucalyptus; accents of sand, sepia red and faded orange
Sooty Khaky; accents of white, yellow and burgundy
Dark Purple; accents of antique purple, beige, faded orange and collegiate blue
Available in boutiques starting June
From 495€ / 620$ / 440£
