Right, the title of this post is the only Gossip Girl schtick I will use in this post. I am pretty sure I am not the only one who was tempted to write a post in the style of Gossip Girl, so in the name of individuality, I will spare you on this one.
Last night saw the launch of a very fun Miss Selfridge x Gossip Girl collaboration based on the different styles of the four lead female characters of the show. I was very curious to see how they managed to do so without simply copying some of the dresses already featured on the show.
The dresses are all pretty cute, and well executed as they interpret each character's style in a very subtle way. You can recognise whose style is emulated, but wearing the dress won't make you feel like you are wearing a Jenny, Vanessa, Serena or Blair fancy dress costume.
As a bonus, I was given a blog exclusive video all about Vanessa's style (tribal), with insights from Eric Daman, the show's stylist.

The collection will be available online from April 27th and in store from April 30th. Prices start at £39.

I love the dresses - I'm guessing they're Serena's! What an exciting concept :)
ReplyDeleteOoh I want to see more!
ReplyDeleteThese are cute dresses, Miss Selfridge always surprises me, I think I won't like things but then I like everything!
ReplyDeleteI have to confess, I've never seen Gossip Girl...

Of the photos above, the lace tiered dress is the stand-out for me. I do worry though that a GG collaboration will mean that these dresses will be seen on EVERYONE! Big fan of the belt in the Vanessa video too though x
ReplyDeleteOoh I am already such a Blair! I look more like Dorota than Blair though, ha ha
ReplyDeleteUnrelated to this post, but have you been to Labour of Love on Upper St? It stocks Kind and Finsk, seems like it could be your cup of tea!

Definitely need to check them out, even if Vanessa is not my favourite. But maybe I find a Blair dress...
ReplyDeleteomg toutes ces robes sont superbes...j adore la "petite black dress" de Vanessa...
ReplyDeleteha, my friend has always called me B, after Blair :P But I really do like the black Vanessa dress.
ReplyDeleteI'll just have to wait and see what the whole collection's like, I guess, before I can pass judgement properly.
Lol I love Gracie's comment!
ReplyDeleteFunny because if I had to pick, I'd say I am more like Blair. But I would wanna be more of a Jenny or Serena though.
Anyhow I love Gossip Girl. They are the best guilty pleasure on earth!
