Spotlight On: Topshop's Spring 2009 Styling

It's the British fast-fashion retailer, whose US customer base grows daily - thanks to its Kate Moss capsule collection, as well as its newly-opened US online store. And don't forget that in a few months, it can add New York City to its ever-growing list of retail hotspots.

Topshop's website now features their bright, patterned, fringy Spring collection, styled with you and I in mind. However, I'm not too sure that I'm really enjoying the styling of these looks. Nevertheless, the collection is divided into four trend categories - Glory Days, Memphis, Sport Nouveau, and Witchcraft.

Sport Nouveau looks exactly how it sounds - new interpretations on traditionally sporty jerseys and cottons. Memphis seems to reference a deep South aesthetic - distressed and lightwash denim, paired with fringed cowboy-inspired tops and accessories. Glory Days hints at post-war Britain through the usage of English rose prints, gingham and petticoats - This was my least favorite. Lastly, there's Witchcraft, which also looks exactly how it sounds. Riveting prints, which were made to be mis-matched, alongside a hipster suede fringe gilet and super high-heels adorned with metal chainwork.
