Bosh! Every post at the moment seems to involve some mention of colour, and today's post is no exception. Libertine Libertine's S/S '12 lookbook demands a bit of attention. Each piece in the collection look wearable while at the same time manages to be pretty exciting too. The collection is enhanced with the coolest bit of direction I've seen in a while, with the excellent use colour coordination. It actually reminds me a bit of my final campaign for uni, I can't remember if I ever share those images with you?
I've never been one for full tonal outfits (other than navy), it's not that I don't like it but it's just something I've not tried since out the all black days about 5 years ago. I've definitely been inspired by Libertine Libertine's lookbook, so this is what I will be trying out over the next week.
Which colour should I go for? I see the tonal look all over the internet but not so much the brighter colours in real life. Has anyone experimented with it?

I think my favourite of the full tonal looks here is the red one. The shirt, shorts and sunglasses have a real sit-up-and-listen feel to them and would look incredibly cool in any season. I think pastel colours are easier ones to start off with if you want to go for all one colour - lemon, pale blue, that sort of thing. Let us know which one you decide on!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, the monochrome! I love this. The first three are my favourites. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant look book. I saw a lot of Orange on the guys over the fashion weeks. I was told to stop photographing it so much :-) So strong colours I think anyway are good right now. Thank you for your support over my busy few weeks. Xxxx
ReplyDeletei would like a grey option to choose!
ReplyDeleteyou're right, a full tonal outfit can be hard to pull off - i don't like wearing even all black, because it just somehow, to me, isn't quite right. let these lookbooks make it look so easy! x
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff, I love the red. And I might have a crush on that model!
ReplyDeleteThe blue stands out to me the most, probably due to really liking soft, sort of pastel colours at the moment. This look book looks incredibly creative but more importantly fun, which is always a massive bonus!
ReplyDeletelike your blog :) see mine at:

Oh this lookbook looks awesome. I'm not really one for full tonal outfits, but I really like the blue one.
ReplyDeleteOooh I love primary colours in fashion!
ReplyDeleteTotally inspired. I always love colour matching.
ReplyDeletenice pieces!"
ReplyDeleteHell yes! I love head to toe one colour. I think red works well because people tend to own red things already. I like how they've used more neutral colours like brown, but it comes off like a bright, more impactful.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing what you come up with!
How did I miss this before! What an amazing shoot. I like the yellow one, and the olive-y one. I wonder who the model is. I met a guy on Brick Lane today who looked an awful lot like this
ReplyDeleteI'm utterly with you on the parrot printed shirt thing!
ReplyDeleteWow how cool is this lookbook, I love that red shirt if I was a guy I'd be rocking that. I really love this it's very inspiring.
I like the yellow on yellow look - a bit like the shirt/shorts Marni for H&M collaboration. You might need to be brave to pull it off in Britain outside Shoreditch in the summer though...
ReplyDeleteEugh, the model is making me wish I had my long hair back.
