Inspired by Audrey Hepburn

With the modelling debut of Audrey Hepburn's granddaughter at the mere age of 20, it is clear Emma Ferrer inherited her Grandmother's envious silhouette and influencial style. As she proudly graces the front cover of Harper Bazaar in 2 separate ensembles, it is clear that Audrey Hepburn's image and aura is still inspiring the fashion world today.

Audrey's most famous portrayal of Miss Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's (my all time FAVOURITE film), gave her the opportunity to collaborate alongside the designers of Givenchy in her all black Chanel-esque LBD's, 'black alligator shoes' and bug eye sunglasses. These items, I can safely say, every girl needs in her wardrobe...well I certainly have all these staple items in mine. Innu London may not be able to cater for the alligator shoes or black sunglasses but we can help you out with our little black dresses from our 'Diamonds in the Rough AW14/15' collection...

Perfectly polished and poised in a loose cape, she looks like the campaign for Lanvin! Get her look with the Innu Throw.

No outfit is complete without a little accessory. Audrey was regluarly seen with a little black bag, big or small. Discover our black collection of large and small handmade bags here.

So there you go, why Innu London LOVE LOVE LOVE the girl who inspired many of our style's today!

Until next time

Ascot Attire

For over 100 years luxury fashion, haute couture pieces and over the top hats have graced the Royal Ascot Racecourse each and every year. Ascot has inspired fashion through the ages from the wide brimmed hats that inspired Audrey Hepburn's My Fair Lady to the mini skirts that took over the 60's.

Here's our guide to impeccable Ascot attire:

1. Hat
The hat is possibly the MOST important thing to remember for Ascot. Unfortunately the only hats Innu London have ever offered our wonderful customers are cashmere beanie hats (soon to be back on the website) so you will have to look elsewhere such as Jane Taylor who specialise in the most exquisite bespoke hats you will ever see.

2. Dress Length
Ideally try to keep your dress no higher than knee length...think of it as Ascot etiquette. Whether it's a body con, full skirt or Innu London, there are plenty of sophisticated and elegantly 'modest lengthed' options.

Why not try the Maria dress with delicate diamonte detailing on the back to give it that added touch of luxury.  The Maria dress is available for purchase or for a 2 night hire.

Or the confused skirt with a sharp and crisp shirt...either way you know you will arrive looking chic and magnifique.

3. Bags
Now this one we well and truely have got covered. As we always say its all about the accessories. A simple clutch bag that doesn't take the attention away from the rest of your outfit (thats the 'over-the-top' hats job surely?) is all you need.  Simplicity is key and with our handmade snakeskin clutch bags and tote bag collection. At Innu London we ensure all our skins are ethically sourced and are of the highest luxury quality to produce pieces that will last for a lifetime.
No matter what colour you go for on the day, we can certainly cater for you with our array of neutral, pastel and brightly coloured bags. Explore the range here.

Whatever you ladies decide to wear, make sure you don't take it too seriously, have fun and enjoy dressing up with your friends. Until next time...

Grand Affairs at the Grand Prix

With news of our first ad campaign being launched in the Official Supercar Club Magazine next month and the Monaco Grand Prix coming to an end we have been researching the most exquisite places in the world to watch the F1 and this is what we found. 

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, Canada

Situated on the Flueve Saint Laurent, the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve basks in the glory of Montreal. When the Grand Prix is in full force visitors can bring their bicycles and cycle round the entire track, kids and all. But when the Grand Prix is taking place we highly recommend paying a visit to the Montreal Casino which offers one of the widest varieties of games in North America. Make sure your dressed the part, try the elegant Kimberley dress for a night in the casino after a day at the F1. But be sure to book your tickets soon as the Montreal Grand Prix starts on the 6th June. 

Circuit de Monaco, Monte Carlo

The most lavish of the F1 races began on the 22nd May through to the end of yet another bank holiday weekend. With the track winding through the curvy city streets and the famous harbours trip, it is not only the shortest of the F1 tracks but also the most dangerous…adding to the suspense. The Sass Cafe situated on the coastline on the grand ‘Avenue Princess Grace, not only offers a mix of traditional Mediterranean and Italian cuisine but also fills the air with beautiful live music that goes on into the early hours of the morning. The mystical place is internationally known for its exclusive parties. But if its not your cup of tea, theres plenty of super yachts, sun and sea to enjoy. And finally make sure you have your wardrobe sorted… we are sure Innu London can help you with that.

Marina Bay Street Circuit, Singapore

Singapore debuted their Marina Bay race track in 2010. Winding through the buildings of the beautiful island it is one of the most beautiful in the world. There is plenty to keep you and family occupied before and after the race from parks, boat rides, even a Ferris Wheel next to the track. The Marine Bay Grand Prix does not take place until the 19th September, perfect time to go as the weather is a lot cooler. This exclusive event has seen the likes of Sir David Beckham so make sure to dress to impress in one of our head turning dresses…

Yas Marin Circuit, Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi and Yas Marin have been host to its individual F1 circuit since 2009. If you do one F1 event this year, this is the one to do. Not only is it is located in one of the most lavish places in the entire world but it is the only twilight race on the f1 calendar. Fans can experience the magic of a day - to - night race in a marina track setting so why not wear a day-to-night dress fully equipped with a authentic handmade snakeskin clutch to give the locals a bit of a green eye. 

Remember our new 2 night hiring service now available at Innu London. Please see here for more information.

Innu Shoot with Seen in the City

Hi there, my name is Natasha Colyer and I am Innu's Guest blogger. I am the editor of Seen in the City, an online fashion and lifestyle magazine which is to launch at the end of the month.  (Check us out on Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/seeninthecityltd).

Having fallen quickly in love with Innu's beautiful dresses, I decided a photoshoot was in order, and myself, my editorial assistant Ellie, Kim and Charlie as well as models Vanessa Tait, Charlotte Stuart and Jess Bass headed to the Old Crown Pub in Holborn where we had been lucky enough to be able to use one of their rooms for the shoot.

A backstage photo of me taking pictures of the models in the mirror

We decided on a simple hair and make up look - nude lips for the first looks, then red for the latter, a simple eye-flick and black mascara, with hair down and slightly ruffled. The location was great- very quirky and rustic but very elegant looking, just the perfect spot to go with the elegance and femininity of the dresses.

The models wear the red dresses beautifully

We first dressed all of the models in the red dresses as can be seen here- (the one on the far right is my personal favourite!) and got some fab shots. These dresses are great for that striking and elegant look, the same divine red in three unique styles, meaning whether you want a short or long garment, or high neck or low neck, Innu has something to suit.

The backs of the diamante dresses can be seen here- so gorgeous!

The second look consisted of three different black dresses, again each in different cuts and style. . These looked gorgeous and elegant, and again we got some great and creative photos. The back of the black dress has the most beautiful diamante neck strap which hangs over the shoulder as you can see and is unlike anything I have seen before.

It was with the black dresses we also style Innu's beautiful bags- a fabulous pop of colour for any outfit!

Here is Vanessa showing off Innu's beautiful pink clutch bag

Innu's clutch bags come in a number of colours, the perfect addition to any outfit

I adore the blue of this clutch bag- stunning!

 Our final looks were Innu’s new tribal collection- their AW 2014. I adore the patterns and fit of these, being both flattering yet comfortable- something which is unusual in fashion. Each dress hugged each models’ figure flawlessly.

We got some amazing shots of Charlotte wearing the Feather dress here, (which Kim had sewn each feather in individually!) and I just love the creative nature of this dress. 

This dress is so creative- I love it!

Each feather was individually hand-sewn!

The day was an immense success and we had so much fun getting to know Kim and Charlie better, as well as dress up in all their beautiful dresses and lust over their gorgeous bags! Seen in the City will be heading behind the scenes at another shoot next weekend, so watch this space!
