Absolute Magazine July – Dandylion Style

by | Jul 30, 2015 | Press

Paris, the city of romance, style and culture, and of course fashion. What better place to launch the Spring Summer collection for Dandylion Style? Especially when its just a Eurostar away. And what better way to demonstrate our solidarity with Europe than our fashion shoot featuring a team of six and five nationalities.
The feel of this season’s collection is heavily influenced by 1950s styling – think Audrey Hepburn, or the Rat Pack – or if your points of reference are more contemporary think MadMen – for that smart, cool vibe.
Dandylion’s trade mark funky waistcoats are again a prominent feature – this time for both him and her, and the brand’s success with the top selling Jelena dress, continues with a striking ginger variation. Each piece is individually tailored and styled with unique twists such as the hot pink piping against the dog-tooth of Sonia’s two-piece, or the floral-tastic reverse lapels on Ivan’s waistcoat.

So if you want to capture the feel of bespoke sophistication, but express your own individuality then Dandylion can help you achieve your goal… and they may even throw in a complementary espresso and croissant after their Parisian adventure.
