Party season has landed, ushered in by Ashish x Warehouse, the latest designer and high street collaboration to make its way into our wardrobes. Ashish’s collections are always a highlight of the London Fashion Week schedule, and now we can get a slice of his sequin-spangled aesthetic without breaking the bank.
"I wanted to create a really signature capsule collection with lots of sequins, strong clean shapes, dramatic colours – empowering clothes, very classic pieces that are really special, but also fun to wear, and easy to mix into any wardrobe," the designer said of the 14-piece collection.
"My favourite piece is the yellow trench – because it looks like a vinyl mac, but the sequins just make it so luxe," he explained. "It’s the perfect high/low mix. It's super easy to wear and the perfect way to elevate a really casual look."
We've chosen our favourite pieces from the collab and shown you how we're styling them, from office Christmas 'do to New Year's Eve party. Click through to see the sparkle.
Ashish x Warehouse is available now in selected Warehouse stores and online at www.warehouse.co.uk.
At the subtler end of the Ashish spectrum is this black high neck top, which we're pairing with silver glitz and more black. We're diggin' the chain detail on Miaou's cotton trousers, which goes nicely with Alexachung's cute skeleton earrings and Mango's pure '00s rhinestone clutch. Just add Topshop strappy sandals and you're ready for the dance floor.
