Cool Chic
Pool Party Style
You lovely girls have probably noticed that I love Chris Benz, his style has an achingly cool look about it. For Spring/ Summer his collection was loose and vibrant. Luckily for us Muslimah’s this meant that there were a lot of Hijab style looks to get inspiration from. It also had a sort of D.I.Y. put together vibe so why not try mixing and matching, wearing oversized tees and turning pretty party dresses into maxi skirts.
Clever Colour Blocking
His 2009 resort collection was equally as relaxed with more instantly wearable looks. With colour blocking and loose layers he managed to hit trends without looking like he even tried. I particularly love his maxi skirts, they are simple but beautifully designed.
Fall Finesse
And a look at his next collection, a selection of more grown up silhouettes and delightful multi coloured prints which injected an element of fun. Again the long skirts are the highlight for me, I absolutely adore the sequined skirt (bottom right), and for a Muslimah a beautiful maxi skirt is always treasured!
