TREND ALERT: SS11 70s Love Affair

We are overly excited about the SS11 Fashion forecast, especially the homage to all things 70s; pussy bow blouses; high wasted flares, indigo denim … crochet detailing, muted vintage prints, wide brim floppy hats, fringes, exaggerated sleeves, block/platform heels, BIG HAIR…. what’s not to love. Cannot wait to fully embrace this… lets hope the snow stays away for good.

The Raw Edge Team Loves... Fashion Litter

The Raw Edge Team has another blog crush!. We love the distinctiveness of Fashion Litter, which certainly falls outside of the box labelled 'regular fashion blog'. Shaw, American based style blogger,  gives readers an insight into her world;  through eye-catching imagery accompanied by her witty, down to earth rants. Moreover we LOVE her style shots which include envious landscapes complimenting her effortless style.

 Shaw has even been featured on popular fashion website who what wear.  

We will definitely be taking down some style notes. Check Fashion Litter out at http://fashionlitter.blogspot.com . Notepads at the ready! Be prepared to be inspired!

REBs STYLE ICONS of 2010

Chloe Sevigny

We love this crowned 'it-girl''s style, her quirky take to her red carpet looks is always appreciated by the Raw Edge Team. A definite style icon, shh dont tell her, she prefers being credited for her acting rather than her outfit! 

Olivia Palermo

Effortless chic personified. Olivia's tailored, polished, upper east side look has made this young lady a force to be reckoned with this year. 

Solange Knowles

Love her 'retro soul' look! If only we could all look this great standing behind some decks!

Blake Lively

The 'Freak'um dress' Queen always looks amazing both on and off screen!

Rihanna

We appreciate this young lady's style evolution, her brave move away from the shouldered pads & studs to a more grown & sexy look. Additionally we actually like her red goldilocks! 

Alexa Chung

Obvious choice we hear you say, but she continues to lead in the style stakes. Alexa can never get it wrong in our eyes, we even congratulate her for this controversial outfit choice (above) at this year's Met Ball. 

Michelle Obama

This first lady is a true fashion icon. The Raw Edge Team need to look this great in the future!

The Raw Edge Team Loves... Willow Smith

Willow Smith in particular's first single, 'Whip my hair'  has been on heavy rotation at the REB Headquaters.  From her outfits at her brother's premiers to her fashion week ensemble's this young girl is not only the next big thing within the music industry but also an emerging style icon. We LOVE her style, a true testament to her youth whilst playfully challenging on trend looks, we hope all 10 year olds follow suit. Check out behind the scenes at her Sunday Time's shoot!

From such great parents what more can we we expect from their offspring. We will certainly be ''Keeping up with [the Smiths]''. Team Willow!!

GOSSIP GIRLS

First Blake Lively rumoured to be the new face of Chanel and now Leighton Meester has been announced the new face of Missoni, there is no stopping these Gossip Girls. Their show stopping looks and their on and off screen style is taking them to new heights within the industry. Here at the Raw Edge Team we couldnt be happier for them! Keep up the good work girls.

XOXO (we couldn't resist!!)

The Raw Edge Team Loves... Rebecca Ferguson

Our favourite to win this year's 'controversial' X- Factor, is Rebecca Ferguson, the young mother from Liverpool, with a vulnerable soulful and spell bounding voice. Not only do we admire her vocal brilliance, the Raw Edge Team love her style choices! From week to week she graces the stage in on trend feminine pieces, and boy does she know how to rock her trademark updo well!
