My love for Dundee based designer Hayley Scanlan is well documented. Scanlan’s scored herself a Scottish Fashion Award and has created custom designs for Little Mix – so when I found out she was creating a diffusion line of her designs you can bet I was ALL OVER IT. Her HS collection was set out to be more wearable and more accessible with dresses clocking in between £100-£125. She easily is one of my favourite young designers working today and I love that HS really encapsulates her previous work, that is to say – sleek sexy graphic designs. With studs. I know that for the most part studs have become a bit of an over kill but here it just feels so deliciously right. I love the halter necks and the cut out sleeves and the collection really feels like a contemporary take on some 90s staples. Claire of the past and Claire of the now would defo appreciate the bright yellow halter crop top.
I love the snake print and the choice of colours for the collection. It keeps it simple with black, pink, yellow and white and feels very “cool.” I know, I know – but there is really no other way to describe Scanlan’s collection other than just balls to the wall flat out cool as fuck.
I’m pretty much ready to scream “Take my money already” while throwing bank notes and cards at the screen after seeing this collection but for now I’m admiring it from afar. It’s safe to say the black studded midi needs to get in to my life right now.
You can buy yourself some sweet HS designs via her store now – or at the very least totally perve at the new collection. You can also creep her work via facebook and of course twitter.
