WeStyle Fashion

One of the flawless humans to take to the runway at C/MEO COLLECTIVE’s Resort ’17 runway, Ashlee Alland also has killer music taste – and taste in confectionary. We took five backstage with the babe. No. 1 item in your wardrobe? Ash: A plain white T-shirt that I can dress up or down! My secret obsession is… Right now, it’s sour gummy worms…

It needs to be comfy, keep you warm and keep you cool. It should be water resistant and sun safe. Most of all, you need to be able to get dressed (without checking your reflection) and know, without a doubt that it’s going to look damn good. Easy right?

If you’re one of the lucky ones heading to Splendour In The Grass next weekend, you’re going to need to arm yourself with all the right staples to get you through. Unfortunately the limited space which comes with any road tripping festival means you won’t be able to take your whole wardrobe (just in case).

Plus, let’s be honest, you’ll probably only end up getting changed once the whole time (because who really wants to have to get naked to shower?).

Here’s all you’ll really need to dominate your Splendour Bender this year (besides genius hiding spots in your car for prohibited alcoholic beverages).

Nothing is worse than tearing round your house, hair bedraggled from sleep, trying to simultaneously drink coffee, apply eyeliner and decide on an outfit to wear from your collection of things you’ve worn a million times before. Enter our workwear edit. Upgrade your 9-5 ‘drobe with versatile pieces that streamline your early morning rush – and take you seamlessly into post-work drinks, no changing required. Yeah, you’re welcome.

Keep it cohesive yet cool with an updated palette of soft pastels for your big day. From soft rose to peach, sweet lemon to iced grey, pastels a guaranteed crowd pleaser and their versatility means it’s super easy to work in with your colour scheme.

Going for a classic look? Try minis, midis and maxis in simple cuts to suit all of your bridesmaids. Add subtle mesh layering or intricate beading if you want a little something extra, or go all out with frills and subtle splits.

Inspired by technology and modernity, Finder's latest collection ‘Static’ is a lesson in innovation and colour play.

Their exclusive static print makes a pivotal statement, fusing together geometric blocks of colour, while prominent hardware and eyelets make a return, along with tassels, cording and spliced colour contrasts. By adapting these key seasonal trends, Finders reinforces their position as a constant source of new wardrobe favourites.

Amandla Stenberg is cool. Not your nonchalant, Frenchy breed of cool. Not your high school popular, OC teen cool. Just straight up, owning herself, cool. She’s more than Jaden Smith’s prom date, more than a cast member in Stella McCartney’s POP campaign (with equally excellent alums Grimes, Lourdes Leon + Kenya Kinski-Jones), and more than her appearance in Beyonce’s Lemonade visual album. Amandla is a new feminist icon, LGBTQI and #BlackLivesMatter advocate, accomplished essayist and damn stylish lady.

On top of being one of C/MEO COLLECTIVE’s go-to gals for a lookbook, Noam Frost also hit the runway at their MBFWA Resort ’17 show. We chatted Donald Trump and nineties tunes backstage with the babe.

BNKR: No. 1 item in your wardrobe?
Noam: American Apparel bra! My favourite, super comfortable.

My secret obsession is…
Nineties music! Funny boy bands and all the nineties vibes.

How does C/MEO COLLECTIVE make you feel?
I love C/MEO COLLECTIVE clothes! We shot their latest campaign together and their style is so feminine, strong and sexy. I would wear it every day.

You’ve semi-successfully set up your tent, picked out your outfit and lined your stomach with a bacon and egg roll – so what to do before the good tunes start in the afternoon? Give yourself a killer Splendour beauty look (before you start day drinking, please) with the stuff you’ve already got in your make up bag.

Resident MUA + beauty expert Isabella Iasenzaniro gives you the tips on easy, impactful looks and the perfect second day hair, inspired by the runway.

We know you’ve heard it before. And no matter what they say about orange – or black, for that matter – this season, navy is our new number one. Make it tonal with endless varieties – whatcha got to say about that, black? – cool cutouts and lush beading. Join the navy club, baby, and dive into the blue.
