S/S14 Dancing Dolls UK: Progress through process

On stepping into the DDUK design & work space, its easy to forget that, actually its early January; cold with heavy. miserable rain and summer is still, like 6 months away- what, with all that talk of Spring/Summer, the words 'S/S14' constantly being thrown about these four walls and realms of Summery fabric shades smothering everywhere.

 It definitely feels like Summer in here....until, of course, you open the studio door to that very, uninviting brisk air. That's just in the corridor, by the way!
It may be just under 6 months until Summer season. However, for us, its more like 6 weeks! We're aiming - actually, we have to- have the collection ready for sale, by this time.

So, what's it about- this S/S14 shizzle.

We're usually quite coy, about our working process. Not this time- we're giving you a behind the seams, look at our progress through process.

The Collection.
It's no secret; each season whilst at the design stage, we take a walk down memory lane for a 'reflection of direction'. It helps us process our journey; you know- understanding where, we've come from, to know where we are going...and blah, blah, blah.

 This time round, we pay homage to our very first Spring/Summer collection 'Doll Domination' from 2010 -Wow! We've come a fair way!

 We're celebrating the original dance wear inspired fashion looks with a hint of sports luxe meets dominatrix.

 Using the female body's sexual prowess as our muse, we're channelling our signature 'urban, sexy, chic' heritage, carefully  portrayed in a selected complimentary palette of: black, sulphur green, sea blue, cream and beige. You'll see a whole load of our original style inspirations:

 

- DDUK signature ballet inspired voluminous skirts

- exposed skin: mesh panels, denuded backs and 

- contour wear: bodysuits, catsuits, swimsuits....

....We've even resurrected that hooded swimsuit; cut it in half and given it an urban 'Hello boys' #Wonderbra attitude.

The new collection aims to arouse an emotion of lust and provocative power dressing. Body Language S/S14 will be ready to view and purchase as from the end of February.

The Christmas decorations may not yet, have fully disappeared. But we think its fair to say, that the festive party season, is most definitely over (suck in breath).... and breathe.

However, for the few, that have more reason, money and energy to be partying- you know, like say, the belated staff Christmas party, which for most usually rolls around at some point in January. Then, why not step out on them, with show girl status in mind.
The staff party is always the best time to channel your inner diva; shed your super safe, boring, but completely practical work attire, in exchange for a more sexy 'I-scrub-up-well' outfit.
And, when you think show girl, who else comes to mind, other than the queen B herself- Beyoncé.

And why wouldn't she?! In recent weeks, she's rarely been out of the news- thanks to the unannounced drop-it-like-its-hot release of her 5th self titled album. The album, itself is more of a visual journal –  with each song accompanied by video giving life to the raw emotion of the singers current journey. All whilst dancing and singing her heart out, across the world with her latest world tour.

So, its inevitable that we think this divas style is one to consider, for any of those dolls looking to make that show stopping entrance for their 2014 partying. Check out our Beyoncé inspired celeb style steal.

Btw, we're not suggesting parading around in your pants....well, unless you have Beyoncé size lungs and a mic in your hand- but, if not (shrugs shoulders),  its probably best to stick a skirt or pair of trousers over BLING IT ON bodysuit! 

For the lucky few- jetting off, for a well deserved break, then parading around trouser-less, is completely necessarily, and you can still imitate Beyoncé diva style, for all those Instagram selfies with this beaut! Yeahay. Get our BE-JAZZLE swimsuit here
