Welcome to the first in our new series of Guest Posts. We were on the hunt for a new breed of biting, incisive fashion analysts – an army of fashion savvy writers who can pick apart the sublime from the silly, the hysterical from the real and get to the beating heart of important fashion matters.

Miami Vibe Trend: Not So Much!!
Spring/Summer trends have hit the stores nationwide and while most of them are cool, colourful and fun…some are just wrong! Yes people, I am talking about the Miami Vibe trend that has sailed into high street stores all over Ireland. While I do love prints, especially for the summer, there is just something about this trend that screams Way Too Much!! The trend seems like a Versace knockoff. The Miami Vibe was a main feature of the D&G show and the Versace for H&M Collection and while I did love the trend for Versace (they embraced it elegantly and in small doses) – the trend is just a tad tacky. No store is to blame, per se, as they are simply embracing a catwalk look, but it’s just everywhere. I’d say if it the look was a bit more discreet on the high street, it would be acceptable. But the Miami print is popping up on every item of clothing and is actually taking over the stores!
