Days 6&7

This week we started with typing in some orders, which wasn't nearly as hard as I'd imagined! I've also been doing some basic excel sheets of stuff we have stocked and will be selling, and also of products that are missing from the spring collections (a few whole pages in some cases..).

We've had quite a bit of customers at the showroom this week, so it's been a bit of running around like headless chickens when you're supposed to have a few minutes in between customers, but actually have no time what so ever, and there's only four of us taking care of the customers and showing them around. So a lot of missed lunch breaks and angry, hungry tummys. No matter, no matter, I've still enjoyed every bit and I think it's nice to see the more hectic side as well.

Today I thought I would introduce two more of our brands: Lyle&Scott Vintage and Supertrash.

"Established 1874, Lyle & Scott is a Scottish knitwear brand, formerly known for golfing knitwear. It acquired a younger more fashionable following with young ‘casuals’ in the 1980s. The rejuvenation of the brand can be traced back to 2003 with the launch of the ‘Vintage’ collection with its ‘Golden Eagle’ logo. It was taken up by a host of indie bands and youth TV presenters."

First of all, all of the clothes I've seen so far from Lyle&Scott look, and feel really good. The Golden Eagle logo just makes the clothes a bit more special, without seeming preppy. Here's a few pictures from the AW12 lookbook:

The next brand is one of my absolute favourites: Supertrash!

"SuperTrash is a true it-girl label for independent women with great sense for fashion and style. The brand stands for living a successful life, being sophisticated and not being afraid to show who you are. The SuperTrash woman combines outspoken personality with effortless style, yet she is never too polished and her outfits always have that element of surprise."

I am totally in love with the main spring collection. There's something for everyone! From bad-ass biker girls to the princess-like-primadonnas.  I love how they combine different materials into really interesting ensembles. Here's some of my favourites from the fall collection:

This "Thousandways" dreass is so handy! You can do pretty much any shape or style with just one simple dress ;)

I've heard a lot of positive feedback about these wedge sole shoes, extremely comfy!

Take a look at the amazing, beautiful and sexy lookbook! And keep an eye on the Magazine and Blog as well ;)

Last, but definetely not least I would like to show you guys a picture that made everyone at the showroom very proud: the Finnish version of "So you think you can dance?" showed some support for Oill, and we of course could not be more proud of this! Take a look ;)
