From creating Rihanna's, Kim Kardashian West's and Lorde's most iconic outfits to cementing London's best dressed It-girl scene, super stylist and creative director Avigail Collins is known for creating celebrities exciting new looks. But Avigail's wardrobing skills extend even further: See her own streetwear-inspired line, Silver Spoon Attire, which was founded in 2013 alongside her husband (and fellow sought-after stylist) Damian Collins. The stylist's high-profile music clients and global street style following make up a pretty impressive fan club. If anyone can spot the next big thing, it's Avigail, which is why we're thrilled to have her at Who What Wear UK to bring you a monthly column about what's hot now.
If there's one bag I recommend you actually invest in for 2018, my conclusion would be on this season's beaded versions. It's a growing microtrend that I absolutely love them and they really make me happy—that kind of affordable combination doesn't come around everyday in an It piece, so I wanted to share my new obsession with you. I mean—what’s not to love? They are fun, reasonably priced, wearable all year round (unlike basket bags which can feel a bit silly in winter), update any old outfit, and they come with the additional power that they really remind me of being a kid all over again. In these weird, tough times, that's kind of a special thing.
Keep scrolling to see the beaded bag styles I love the most, and will be carrying on repeat every day of the week.
Shrimps have done a beautiful pearl beaded box bag and it's been so popular for a few seasons now—you could say this British brand really kickstarted the idea again.
As it’s super girly I have paired it with a more low key tailored look: the juxtaposition of mixing the two makes it feel more effortless. With that in mind I think this bag would also look great with a simple grey tracksuit and trainers. It’s all about combining that cute preppy vibe with something a little more relaxed.
The Susan Alexandra bags are what really rebirthed my obsession with this '90s trend. She has used crystal beads in really cute box shapes with amazing use of colour and they've been all over Instagram the past few weeks. I can’t wait to take one of these on my summer holiday and wear them with some gingham for the ultimate vintage pin up look… in the mean time I will be sipping tea at the Nobu Shoreditch dreaming up some summer looks whilst it rains outside.
FYI: toy frogs not included with the bag but my son felt they should be photographed together!
L.F. Markey have taken their own twist on the trend and I love the way they have made it feel more neutral and classic it in these brown and cream wooden beads. It means it’s far easier to wear day to day, or to match with a rail of your existing clothes. The shape also lends itself to being a great work bag—which might seem surprising. I can fit my laptop in easily and the beads are very light so it wasn’t heavy to carry at all.
Ganni have yet again created the ultimate fashion situation with this bag. I first spotted it in a store called American Rag in LA and I’ve dreamed about it at least twice since then. The tiny beads on this one remind me of a bag I used to steal off my grandma. You could take this bag to a summer wedding with a gown or to the pub with a slip dress (like in this pic), or simply wear it with jeans. It’s so versatile I think I’ve talked my self into buying it… and it matches my Nike Cortez perfectly, so it would just be mean not to.
