Regally Fashionable (Review – Royal Blue)

Marni Grut, mastermind behind Royal Blue, has been a friend of mine for some time now, but even before we were properly acquainted I was a great admirer of her creations. What Marni creates is always far from conventional; her quirky designs are always completely unique, and always fabulous. There’s a certain unpredictable quality about her work that really appeals to me, personally, as even though i’ve come to know her quite well, I never know what she’ll create next – though I do know that it will always be fabulous.

I’m a little late with this review, so the items shown below will probably be familiar to you from other blogs, Gillywinkles’ Deux Looks for one. But you’re all just going to have to live with that, and one can never really get enough RB, if you ask me.

Shown above is the “Lost Ballet” skirt, in Sea. While there has been no shortage of ballet-themed skirts and dresses in-world over the last few months, this is one of the few that I really liked. Firstly, it’s a little more exciting than usual skirt fare, in that it is sheer, and vibrant for it. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, it’s a statement; it’s not floaty and drifty and serene, it’s big and its bold. Each layer is of course flexi, but they just bounce once or twice and they’re back into uniform precision, and I love that. The skirt retains its structure without sacrificing its movement, unlike many other structured (and often sculpted) pieces. Below shows the skirt in Nude, which is less in-your-face and more calm, without being a wuss.

The Harem High-Waist pants are most certainly different. So much so that it is hard to really say anything about them that the picture doesn’t say itself. I’ve opted to get my tits out for this one, in order to make up for the lack of useful dialogue going on here. If you look on Deux Looks and Ana Lutetia’s blog, you’ll see that there are other options to pair with the pants, from blouses to tanks.

Even if these items don’t particularly tickle your fancy, Royal Blue features a broad spectrum of colours and styles, from poofs and ruffs to cages with swans. Check it out, NOW!
