ASOS Revive 

We have been very busy here at YS Towers these last few weeks but I did manage to slip away and check out the ASOS spring/summer 2012 press day. I think it's fair to say that ASOS are killing it for nest spring/summer, especially with their specialist collections ASOS White, Black, Africa & Revive. It was pretty hard to pick a favourite but Black & Revive look set to cause some havoc with my bank balance.

More neon light YS love 

ASOS Black is a collaboration with print designer Lauren McAlmont, expect a clash of patchwork, print, stripes, rubber & foil, all presented in a collection of truly gorgeous dresses. ASOS Revive teamed up with guest designer Ebru Ercon to produce a 90s inspired collection of oversized proportions and a pair of baggy shorts so good I wanted to stuff a pair in my bag and run! Loved the way the product was lit up by ultra violet neon lights - we seem to have a thing for that!

ASOS White gets sporty

ASOS Africa 

Alongside all of this, there are collaborations with Sophia Kokosalaki & Piers Atkinson, ASOS main collections and new designer brands added to their already impressive brand mix. I think that makes ASOS one of the most exciting places to shop, don't you?! The good news is we have a few months to start saving!

The brilliant collaboration with Piers Atkinson

 
Hannah preps the area

Template is up - thanks Athena! 

A few weeks back, we blogged about our neon sign and we are pleased to announce the sign is now finished, up and looking wicked.

Our friend from Neon Circus showing us how it's done 

We chose the Voltaire quote, "Paradise is where I am", (penned by our wonderful neighbour and friend Athena Procopiou). It's such a nice thought to start your day with.

Paper Mache Tiger.

London Fashion Week has just come to an end has been as mad as usual. My team Jemma and Hannah have been on the streets and at the shows sending me updates of how it is all going and all the exciting spring/summer 2012 trends which are emerging, while I have been resting my feet and catching up on all the action on Twitter!
