Designers at Debenhams celebrate their 21st Birthday this year. It’s a little scary right? I mean Debenhams is a household name that ticks the box for anything from beauty pick me ups to house hold gems. But to think they have been collaborating and show casing designers for 21 years, well, massive congratulations from me.
In order to celebrate the lovely people at Debenhams are hosting a competition in search for a ‘muse’ for some of their top designers, Julien Macdonald, Ben de Lisi, Stephen Jones, Preen and Patrick Grant. They want inspiration from you… (or me!) for their new collections. You can find out more over at their The Daily Debrief page and check out twitter for #DEBMUSE.
I thought I would have a look through the Designers at Debenhams and they really have come a long way in 21 years. A couple of things really caught by eye from the Betty Jackson. Black range and I thought I’d create a little mood board / wish list to really show some of the fab pieces she has. I’d like to think I’d be a great must for Betty Jackson. Simple cuts but with flowing prints that give it a little edge. I think the relaxed but slightly intriguing feel hits me straight on. I think the same fits with Ben de Lisi who has some beautiful pieces too.
Just look at that gorgeous floral shirt, so simple yet such a statement. It’s almost like a water colour painting and the colours could be embraces in so many accessories or other pieces. This has to be the key to a muse right? Next up are the patent leather slip on brogues. all I can about this is WANT! I thought the 3D flower statement necklace would be perfect under the shirt collar to add a bit of a sparkly edge to the look and really show off the large floral print. It also takes it nicely from a day to evening look. Finally, some sleek but simple black slim trousers to complete the look.
I seriously love that shirt. It could easily be the statement piece of many outfits. The muse of my wardrobe if you like! I’m pretty impressed with the Designers at Debenhams range and I can’t wait to move this wish list from my screen into my daily outfits!
Don’t forget to enter the Debenhams Muse competition and remember me if you win!
