Fashion designer and king of sequins Ashish has really gone and started something with his A/W 09 collection, to suggest the collection explores embellishment is the understatement of the century. For the whole A/W collection is drowned in vibrant sequins. Every inch of Ashish pieces sparkle and shimmer multi-coloured little sequins! Ashish has re-introduced full on glamour and something tells me that the glorious sequin will be sticking around for sometime yet.  Seems the high street have taking a shine (no pun intended) to sequins once destined only for home made Xmas cards and childish Blue Peter style collages.

Well no more for the silly sequin is no longer to be mocked or snubbed, for a new sort of sequin- the super sequin is here and its serious too. Topshop have been  abusing the use of sequins in their summer collection (nope sequins are no longer saved just for Christmas parties, for they’re now allowed to come out and play in the summer sunshine, hooray for that!) with some serious sequin legging action going on. Newlook are also declaring their love for sequins, sequin bags, shoes and flapper style sequin silver frocks.Pierre Hardy has also been busy sticking (erm yeah like designers simply glue gun on the sequins?) down hundreds of sequins to his super blingtastic shoes.Though its evident Pierre prefers the large disk variety of sequin, layering lashings of sequins from toe to  stiletto heel. Meaning even your feet can glitter, mind you this could prove to be quite hazardous: because if your anything like me your be too distracted admiring the reflective sequin shadows to take any notice of that lampost…  Ouch before you know it its too  late and your face to face with that lampost and people are pointing and laughting at you, or the fact you have sequins on your feet? In which case their just fools who cannot appreaicte the joy sequins bring!

Shake the glitter girls!
