Topshop Unique AW 2013, Is Embracing the Nineties.

So opening the show on the track list was Blur with 'Girls and Boys' you know that tune 'girls are boys who like boys to be girls' ect. So I thought you could play the tune while reading my views on the collections highlights/lowlights.

There's a lot of PVC, but it's a lot better than their SS 2013,- where They Went For 'Doctor Chic' But Just Hit 'Care Home Confusion'

What I love about this is not that difficult for you to create yourself, no offense, but you could easily find similar items on ebay, which is great

I would love a red plasticy skirt, I also really like the red snake print cowboy boots too.

I pretty much own those boots. You know my cowboy boots! We can make this.

Bit Paddinton Bear esque

I think this is a onesie....... I'm a fan of an all in one. Why are you so against them?

Again, you could source this get up from ebay. Like the cut of the pants. 

I enjoy the combination of those boots with this dress, really nice.  Very you!

 

Midi Length Skirts seem to be a thing Topshop is pushing at the moment. They don't flatter everyone, but Ido like the volume here as opposed to those 'you aren't allowed to walk midis'. 

This jacket started out promising, but those sleeves have completely sabotaged  any  public wearablity. I would I think it is cool.

THIS IS MY 2ND FAVE. Part grunge, part fairy (it's kind of what I go for day to day). You are such a grunge fairy! Love that

OK, this is defiantly a onesie. Personally, I've never succumbed to the onesie ,  Yes I understand tat some people are fans but can be please keep them of the runways, and also can people stop  going out in public, you just look like giant babies. I LIKE AN ALL IN ONE. THEY ARE FUN. 

Pastel Russian. The thigh high split, daring.

Quite Great Gatsby. Again with the split skirt. Quite sexy and sophisticated.

THIS WAS MY  FAVORITE. It's just perfect. Soooo you! Its just you, you would look better in it than the model! I just see it. 

I'm in love with this jumpsuit. Unfortunately I'm not lean or leggy enough to carry it off.  NOW YOU ARE TALKING. I want this! I can see myself in this!

Topshop SS 2013 Has Arrived: They've Gone For 'Doctor Chic' But Just Hit 'Care Home Confusion'

Of Course Jourdan Dunn looks great, but I doubt anyone else would.

Looks like she's wearing a lab coat. A very plain, untailored, unsexy lab coat.

This looks like someones tried to do Tartan, but got bored.





















Very 80's quiz show.

Actually quite like this, but still not 'wowed'. Maybe I only like it because I'm pretty sure I want to be Cara Delevinge

Conclusion
This all felt a bit uninspired to be honest. A a little too minimal. And Souless. The lines that they did use were unflattering and shapeless. The mesh dress, perhaps one of  better pieces wasn't 'unique' at all, I bet I could find something very similar on the high street pretty quickly.

It feels like they have gone for 'doctor chic' but just hit 'care home confusion'. Totally agree nothing inspiring or wishlistable, what a let down. 

I did quite like the shoes, but really weren't made for a humans feet, it seems. I don't know why they didn't make them for people you actually have toes, are Topshop unique's target market the Witches from Roald Dahl (they had no toes)


As the resident 'shoe person' I can say that the transparent ones are the only ones worth talking about here, everything else is a rather dull nineties throwback, love a bit of nineties, but not when it seems lacklustre, come on people commit.
