Embrace 1950’s glamour this summer

29th June 2009 Print
Embrace 1950’s glamour this summer Go for a 50s inspired look this season with Glamour Bunny, a new boutique brand which is encouraging women of the nation to explore their seductive side with timeless, ‘must-have’ dresses.

Inspired by the elegance of the era and leading ladies such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, Glamour Bunny has unveiled its unique collection for women who love fashion but find it difficult to find that perfect fit on the high street.

The 1950s era welcomed figure-hugging dresses which empowered ‘femme fatales’ of the nation and emphasised the waist, helping women across the country love their hourglass shape and have a little fun with fashion.

Stars of the Silver Screen such as Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor embodied high-class Hollywood elegance on screen, while the public craved something similar for themselves and a trend towards ultra feminine clothing swept across the UK following World War Two.

Women wanted to cast off their drab pre-war clothing in favour of feminine clothes with extra ‘oomph’. The fashion silhouette of the time celebrated the waist – a trend mirrored in the designs of Glamour Bunny.

Perfectly tailored and affordable, Glamour Bunny designs are cut slightly longer to give out a sassy but demure effect while emphasising the bum and bust.

Creator, Gerry Roxby, following in the footsteps of 50s designers Channel and Dior, wanted to design her own range for women after struggling to find what she wanted on the high street.

She said: “Films stars of the 50s had a bold and inspirational look which is still recreated by top fashion designers today.

“We use a mixture of vivid colours and vintage designs for our dresses, which can help women create that special ‘50s glam look’ and get a slice of that Silver Screen attitude to boot!

“We’ve had some fantastic feedback from customers about the tailoring and quality of the new collection which emphasises the bum and bust areas in an elegant way.”

This limited collection of 50s inspired dresses is available in a range of bold summer colours including yellow, baby blue and classic pink as well as the timeless ‘classic black’ collection.

Today, 50s fashion is back and more popular than ever; embraced by a host of stars including burlesque fashion icon, Dita Von Teese and retro pop sensation, Katy Perry. The retro-feel range provides women of all ages with the opportunity to add a piece of clothing with the ultimate ‘wow factor’ to their wardrobe.

So if you’re after something fun to spice up your wardrobe this summer look no further than Glamour Bunny.

Sizes vary from an extra-small to a large for this collection, with more sizes planned for the autumn/winter range due out later this year so whatever your size, you’re in for a treat. Prices range from £36 to £57 meaning you can pamper yourself without breaking the bank at Glamourbunny.co.uk.
