Spring 14’s blooms are bold, big and bad “ But it’s not all dark and moody; plenty of designers have embraced tropical blooms, using Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro as inspiration together with the country’s associated bright colours. Oversized florals in bright colours are seen all over dresses, while painterly prints are also worn from top to toe.

Three of the UK’s most cherished indies reveal how they discover new brands and share their tips on how to become a world-class buyer. Featuring: Sam Brightmore, owner of Bottega, a luxury lifestyle emporium in Taporley, Cheshire “ Which trends will you be looking to buy into for spring 14 and why? Sam: We have an aesthetic at Bottega and tend to buy in that way rather than backing specific trends. I don’t really set out with a ‘shopping list’, but I draw on my style references and influences for inspiration. The store is more than just fashion, it’s about a lifestyle, so we compile mood boards for all that this encompasses, from fragrance, interiors, fashion and accessories before we go into each buying season. This gives us a cohesive vision and helps to organise our thought processes. “ Janine: We are really focusing on transitional styles due to the very unpredictable weather in the UK with little or no summer. I always go into each buying season with an open mind “ Lewis: I always go into each buying season with an open mind, but I do believe many spring 14 collections will showcase lots of pretty pastel colours and white will be the key neutral.

The latest buzz in the industry is shortform video, with Vine and Instagram’s video-sharing services becoming the hottest social tools of the moment. If you’re confusing your Vines with your vines, here’s a quick update: Vine is a social mobile platform which allows users to create a six-second video and then share it will their followers on Twitter. These tiny little clips captured the public’s attention so much that Instagram launched a direct competitor to Twitter’s Vine in June in the form of a 15-second videosharing service, which can actually do a bit more than Vine - think extensive custom-designed filters - meaning your video can appear a bit edgier. “ It’s another platform to showcase your brand or store “ So what does this mean for those in the fashion industry? In short, it’s another platform to showcase your brand or store - whether that’s presenting products or creating a piece of storytelling. Take French Connection, which has worked with photographer and artist Meagan Cignoli to produce a series of summerthemed stop motion spots across Vine. Rachel Arthur, global senior editor of media and marketing at WGSN, applauds French Connection’s use of the tools. “They demonstrate the enormous level of creativity possible to have within such a short time frame.” French Connection Footwear retailer Schuh views shortform video as another way to raise brand awareness. Schuh social media co-ordinator Jen Rankine says: “We’re currently using it as another way of presenting new products that have landed. We’ll be experimenting more with it as time goes on. You can showcase product in a fancier way than just taking a photo of it.” “ A fantastic expression of the fashion industry, which has rich content naturally embedded into it, waiting to be captured “ Arthur says these platforms present a perfect opportunity for those in the fashion industry to “get noticed” on a burgeoning social tool. “It’s also a fantastic expression of the fashion industry, which has rich content naturally embedded into it, waiting to be captured.” She adds: “They’re also platforms that afford experimentation so it’s worth just getting stuck in.” You heard it.
