In an era where endless scrolling has become my form of daily exercise and checking likes is my only interaction with solving a maths problem- I’m not alone when sharing that social media becomes a rabbit hole for self comparisons and body envy. Yet in the wake of this, there has been an increasing rise in inspirational posts from models and celebrities alike sharing the reality of their lives beyond the glamour of the red carpet. So I want to share with you my top 5 inspiring women who embrace individuality, are unapologetically confident and show off how their imperfections are perfect.
Fashion month. Part two.
We’re back again to wrap up our favourite Fashion Month moments, including the ones that are still on everyone's lips. Without further ado let’s dive straight into it, shall we? This year's fashion month saw a bigger push on diversity and inclusivity as the industry continues to strive to break...
Fashion month. Part one.
Fashion month once again came and gone in a flash. Leaving our heads spinning from sequins, celebrities and show-stopping spectacles. Whilst the world is still in pandemic mode, it didn’t stop many brands from making headlines, filling their front rows and being all round over the top in every sense of the word. Some could say making up for lost time.
Be Inspired By Humanity
In the wake of COVID-19, myself and the whole Mellaris team hope we can offer you pockets of joy during these uncertain times from continuing our social media posts and newsletters. May this keep our community strong, positive and inspired as we believe a little bit of familiarity can go a long way when surrounded by the unknown.

AW19 Accessory Style Edit
As collections come and go and trends overturn like the seasons, we always have our trustee accessories for comfort and stylish guidance. Autumnal style is often a fashion lovers favourite for the array of chunky knits that fill the shops and getting out our favourite pair of boots from the back of the cupboard! It’s a wonderful period where style can still be a priority before Winter overturns all of our wardrobes and we solely dress for comfort and warmth.
Fashion Months Most Iconic Moments…So Far PART ONE
Over the years catwalks have transitioned from exclusive private viewings, only accessed by the fashion leaders of its time, to being available at the click of a button for thousands of online streamers to see. With audiences increasingly growing by the decade, it appears that fashion houses are more than ever competing to deliver that ‘wow’ factor moment during Fashion Month.
A Brief History Of Women's Workwear
When you think of women’s workwear, it’s obvious to immediately think of classic pieces such as a suit or a dress. However, that has not always been the case! We have come very far in terms of what women are able to wear during work and daily life, to the point where we can have such a diverse wardrobe of garments right at their finger tips! In the Mellaris office we have been talking about the history of women’s workwear as well as how the trouser, which was once seen as something that only men could wear, has become a staple in everyone’s wardrobe.
Fashion Bloggers You Must Be Following
When I was a child I would always day-dream about becoming a pop-star, yet the fantasy for the younger generation today seems have shifted to be becoming an influencer. So, if you’re anything like us our heads have turned from TV screens to our phone screens, and we can’t help but incessantly tapping for new updates on our favourite online guru’s.
Would You Rent Your Wardrobe?
As ‘caring is the new cool’ increasingly becomes the outlook for the year, just last week we were brainstorming how Mellaris could improve their sustainability within the near future.
In Conversation With: Pageantry
On the 11th August the Mellaris team were both proud guests and sponsors of the 2019 Miss Essex pageant. Hosted at The Cliffs Pavilion, regional director Emily Evans, and former Miss Essex in 2016, and her team organised a seamless night of celebrations for their 14 hopeful finalists. This years finalists dedicated their time in the run up to the competition by raising funds for the White Ribbon UK charity in memory of local Essex girl, Grace Millane.
STYLE EDIT: Accessories
Accessories are a trusting friend that you can always rely on. From those pair of earrings that add marvellous moments of sparkle to an evening look or your go-to necklace that an everyday outfit just wouldn’t be the same without. They are always there, the cherry on top. Often, also a moment of impulse, accessories are a shiny form of indulgence that we just can’t resist. Simply a new bag or belt can be a sly trick to the eye so nobody notices you’re wearing the same dress as last Saturday! A quick purchase on a whim or a classic that can be found at the top of your jewellery box, accessories are always an amazing way to reinvent an outfit and style it a new way. So we wanted to indulge you in 5 fabulous accessory trends that can be perfectly matched to some of our Mellaris dresses and jumpsuits from our S/S19 collection.
BLOG POST: Vogue's Best September Covers
A significant shift in the air tells us that the big, bold and the beautiful has arrived at our doorstep once again. As we prepare to welcome majestic covers and fresh beginnings, come the new season, excitement is an understatement for the fashion community when it comes to describing the annual presence of September. The anticipation of the coming season has inspired us to reflect upon an array of iconic September issues, both old and new, retelling and reflecting on their own individual, remarkable stories.
BLOG POST: Best Of A/W Couture Week
Tulle and feathers and pastels- Oh my! Once again Couture Week leaves us dazzled by craftsmanship and elegance, yet it was the refreshing colour palettes that steer way from traditional autumnal tones that inspired us most this season. The term ‘Couture’ itself breathes an exotic air that knowingly transports us to a realm of fantasy, however what exactly does it mean to establish a Couture collection?
Pets In Fashion
In preparation for our SS20 photoshoot, we're looking back to our last social media photoshoot we had and how much fun we had! For our SS19 photoshoot we decided to feature some of the dogs that belonged to some of the models to create some sweet photos.
Through researching, I found out about a photoshoot that the brand Coach did a photoshoot in 2015 which was a campaign that “celebrates the dogs in our lives and captures the pups’ unique personalities as they “model” Coach’s Fall 2015 star bags.”
Makeup and Hair
As we add the finishing touches to our SS20 collection, we begin our countdown for our Photoshoot in 10 days. In preparations for our photoshoot we begin to brainstorm how we want the final look, from creating a theme to finding a location, accessories, models, photographer, poses, props, hair and makeup. This week's topic is an insight to why hair and makeup is so important in a fashion photoshoot and where we source our inspiration.
Graduate Fashion Week 2019
For many fashion students, one of the things that they look forward to at the end of their terms/years is Graduate Fashion Week. For students in their first or second years, it’s the perfect opportunity for them to go to an event to see what kinds of things are being explored by young designers from other Universities. It’s also good for second years (like me) to possibly see what everything will be leading up to at the end of their next and final year.
The Event Of The Year Has Begun...
Royal Ascot is the centerpiece of Ascot's year and dates back to 1911 when the week of races in the third week of June became a Royal Week.
Part Three: Fashion In Film And Tv
In the office we often talk about the TV shows, films or books that we have been reading recently or can’t wait to start. This week is the final part of our discussion about fashion in some of our favorite series or film
