It was so refreshing to see simplicity at its finest in breezy silhouettes and buttery lawn cottons referencing American Indian culture. Signature peasant blouses were a plenty as were maxi’s and relaxed short shorts all in earthy tones. Oh and did we mention that leather pinafore.

I want what they were on! The Romance Was Born show ‘Mushroom Magic’ was like tripping without the illicit drugs (or so I’ve heard!). Entering the show felt like stumbling into a magical land with marshmallow mountain stools and glitter pools made of sugar, which were good enough to eat. And so were the clothes; candy colours, tulle trims, lots of frills, flares and psychedelic prints. A collection fueled by 70’s love children and enhanced by the live tunes of Paz Lenchantin (loved her). And we haven’t even got to the hair and makeup! Here a closer look at Alan White for ghd’s hair sensations…

Alan White’s tips for getting the perfect ‘shroom’ inspired by Peggy Moffitt the fashion renowned 60’s model and muse:
prep the hair with ghd total volume foam then curl under with ghd eclipse and use a ghd dressing brush to smooth out the hair for the perfect finish.
