“Broke my heart On the road / Spent the weekend / Sewing the pieces back on /’Cause I’m a gypsy/ Are you coming with me? /I might steal your clothes / and wear them if they fit me”

February 10, 2015 by Self Service UK

‘Cause I’m a gypsy ‘Cause I’m a gypsy” ….song lyrics that drive to the very heart of the latest Wildfox collection – Shakira, Shakira…how did you know? ……well of course she didn’t – but given that the “She’s a gypsy” collection for Spring 15 was conceived by Wildfox Creative director Kimberley Gordon out of a need to escape, cut loose and live off the land those song lyrics certainly resonate….. Gordon’s vision for Spring 15 of a group of girls […]

90s Love: Kate & Johnny

August 30, 2013 by Self Service UK

Way way back, before Kate & Will, there were Kate & Johnny, dream couple and style icons of the 90s. As avid readers of American web portal Trendland.com that also regularly feature Wildfox, we flicked (well, okay, scrolled) through images of a young Kate Moss and Johnny Depp, and we were absolutely smitten. The gorgeous couple got together almost twenty years ago and apparently it took poor Kate years to get over Monsieur Depp (whose surname in German translates as ‘idiot’, well take that […]

Life Through A Filter: Self Service Instagram Edit

May 28, 2013 by Self Service UK

We don’t know about you but here at the Self Service showroom we are obsessed with Instagram. Emulating analogue photography, Instagram shows the world a snapshot of your life, as curated by you. The fact that it’s image based makes it both fun and easy to get lost while sifting through an infinity of beautiful — and sometimes strange — shots. There is a nostalgic quality about the pictures on Instagram. As soon as an image is put through a […]

Shades of Pink and Blue

April 26, 2013 by Self Service UK

As the two colours associated with gender, blue and pink seem to have fixed connotations. Pink for girls and blue for boys. But while, when it comes to dress, women have any colour of the palette available to them, men seem to stick to more conservative tones. Only recently, men have started to be more confident wearing this seemingly ‘girly’ colour (and it is then often disguised as ‘salmon’). Assigning pink and blue to gender is a modern thing and […]

FOXERCISE! (Exercise Wildfox style)

April 7, 2013 by Self Service UK

Get ready to Foxercise ! Wildfox is channeling Jane Fonda and Brooke Shields for their latest collection. During the 80s much emphasis was put on the toned body, which then moved to a completely different look of ‘heroin chic’ during the grungy 90s. Foxercise combines the 90s look (think cropped tops, hot pants, off-the-shoulder jumpers and big floral prints) with an 80s attitude to exercise. The release addresses the fun things that each and every one of us can do […]

Have the seasons shifted? Could April be the new March? In the past years it’s seemed as if September were the new August, with Indian summers treating our bodies and souls to lovingly […]
