Perfect Fit

Here in the Models Own offices we’ve been thinking of all those things that shouldn’t go together, but at the same time are the perfect match. Here are some of our favourites:

Russell Brand and Katy Perry

Russell Brand & Katy Perry

One of our favourite celebrity pairings are a couple that we never thought would have ended up together, yet somehow they are the perfect fit.

Ham and Pineapple Pizza

Pineapple pizza

Savoury and sweet. Meat and fruit. This shouldn’t work? Yet somehow we always order Hawaiians!

Wellies, Shorts and Straw Hats

Alexa Chung Leeds festival

Festival season is almost here and for some reason, (perhaps because we’re British), in the height of Summer we dress for all weather. Yet the festival look has caught on, and the straw hat, wellies and shorts combo has become a summer staple.

Bright Eyes and Pale Lips

Bright eyes

This beauty mix of bright eyeshadow matched up with pale lips perhaps isn’t the obvious choice, but it’s one of our favourite beauty looks at the moment.

From powder blue tea dresses to mad accessories, Alice inspired fashion is everywhere this Spring/Summer and here’s our Models Own twist on the look with our Alice in Wonderland inspired make-up.

Top 10 Fashion Trend Predictions For 2010

2010 is finally upon us, and with it, here come our predictions for the year ahead. Some are serious, some are a little bit out there, and some are just plain crazy!

1. Already seen on Victoria Beckham & Blake Lively this week, blue will be everywhere!

2. Flairs. Last year was all about the eighties – we think the seventies deserve a comeback!

4. BIG backcombed Tina Turner-style hair.

5. We’ll all be reaching for flats over party heels.

6. Donna Karen set the trend for white eyeliner in her S/S10 show.

Models Own Lemon Meringue7. Tan leather bags will be hot this spring!

8. Dare we say it, Double Denim – we have seen some denim jackets out and about already!
