Spotted: Urban Edge meets Karolina Sabala


This week we’ve spotted our uber cool ‘Matrix’ necklace on the fabulous fashion blogger Karolina Sabala, owner of SO IN CARMEL

Karolina shows definitive street edge in our bib style ‘Matrix’ necklace. She’s teamed it amazingly well with this effortless and bang on trend Alexander wang white dress. Showing how sublime simplicity really is.

Our Urban Edge collection plays with scale, form and optical illusion and references punk, pop and grunge in equal measure. Shapes are irregular and asymmetric, creating strong angles and frames.

KG Playlist

 

Today on the blog we thought we would share with you one of our favourite artists of the moment. Lianne La Havas is being repeatedly played in the KG London shop. Chilled out, charismatic and a soulful voice, her album ‘Is Your Love Big Enough’ is the perfect sound for a summer’s day in Kensington.

Right now we’re focusing all of our attention on staple summer brights to revitalize our wardrobe and keep us feeling fabulously flamboyant throughout the season. This woven straw tote by Senso is the perfect beach towel carrier. It’s bold tribal print on Ecuadorian toquilla straw instantly accentuates a bright addition to your everyday outfit. After the striking appearance of Olivia Palermo in LK Bennett’s ‘Parrot’ shoes, we’re head over heels in love with them and the entire Caroline Issa SS13 collection. The contrast of colour in Moroccan inspired print makes this pair of heels the epitome of style this season. An essential item to have in your wardrobe every summer is a piece from Australian designer Zimmermann. We’ve picked out this beautiful ‘Oasis’ silk playsuit which incorporates floral and blue hues to wear over this statement Missoni printed bikini  on the beach or to wear in the evening with this turquoise Miu Miu grained clutch.
