Lipstick Gossip by: Harvey Nichols AW13 Launch

I am a huge fan of Harvey Nichols in Dundrum. I recently styled 'Miss Irish Sun' model Sinead Duffy for a press shoot that featured 'The Sun'. I pulled some gorgeous jackets, tops, dresses and skirts from the store and I literally fell in love. Particularly with the brand 'Finders Keepers'. It available in store and is very youthful and edgy.

The Harvey Nichols AW13 range was officially launched and has now hit HN stores. Harvey Nichols Fashion Director Paula Reed presented the trends for #HNAW13 with striking models Yomiko Chen, L’Or Mayo and Angelica Salomao showcasing statement looks for the season at the flagship store in Dundrum Town Centre. There is something for all tastes.

The skirt silhouette this season is divided between wavy feminine skirts and a dramatic asymmetric split. The ‘Statement Coat’ features the Teddy Coat and Parka Jackets from Herno and Duvetica. Leather Jackets in biker style are a wardrobe staple from Francis Leon, Muubaa, Versace Collection, Pinko and DKNY.

“At Harvey Nichols we pride ourselves on spotting emerging fashion talents before anyone else. From Alexander McQueen’s unique blend of dark gothic themes and impeccable tailoring to Mary Katrantzou’s signature trompe l’oeil prints – you saw it at Harvey Nichols first.”
