Coachella updates

 For those who are not aware of what Coachella is, it is the Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival which is a three-day festival founded by Paul Tollett, organised by Goldenvoice  and held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California in the Inland Empire's Coachella Valley. Find out more HERE and HERE

Many of you are aware of one of the year's big festival, Coachella, where all fashionistas can spot the trends that will dominate festival fields this summer and more.

First up and the staples remain the same - there is no sign of cut-off denim shorts, lacy peasant tops or ankle boots waning in popularity (see Kendall Jenner, Emma Roberts and Sienna Miller for confirmation).

As for new trends, just look out for coordinating two-pieces-matching tops with shorts or skirts, as seen on Katy Perry, Jourdan Dunn, Beyoncé and Solange Knowles.

Listen up, folks! Let's put an end to the discussion on this one. 'This one' being the continuing trend towards sporty clothes/shoes becoming a natural part of the modern fashionable wardrobe. To put it mildly, it's forging ahead at full steam. This is good news for anyone who's wary of fashion's tendency to declare a thing is in one season and out the next. Athletic fashion is here to stay.

The sporty trend was, not surprisingly, all over the catwalks. just look at the way Gucci's head designer Frida Giannini made the tracksuit fit for an ultra-suave party in luscious metallic and transparent materials. Sporty bottoms were also favoured by DKNY, who showed them an ice-cold blue and with a matching cropped top.

Jonathan Saunders got in on the athletic action and presented a critically lauded collection filled with sport's multicoloured shapes, jackets and, yes, you guessed it, tracksuit bottoms - albeit in versions unlikely to be seen on an actual track or field. Prada did legwarmer sports socks, and paired them with dresses that made you think of basketball jerseys; Alexander Wang updated culottes with athletic stripes.

Sport is everywhere in 2014, and the age-old question of whether you want to look fashionable while training or deploy your training gear to look fashionable is not really valid any more. What were once two different wardrobes are not just part of your overall style!!!
