Style spotlight: Up-and-comer DJ Yasmin
By emilyborrett on June 28th, 2011
Yasmin gets to work and play at the same time: the DJ teams a sexy bustier with short shorts and a fresh 90s printed shirt for this promotional picture
Scottish singer/DJ Yasmin has been flickering on and off my style radar for a while now – I first read about her in Wonderland a few months ago where the prolific fash-mag gushed about her talents and how she’s destined for big things. Since seeing that piece it seems like the dark-haired beauty has been quietly popping up everywhere, at festivals, parties and events, and I think it’s about time that ShinyStyle shone the spotlight on the DJ’s cool, eclectic dress sense.
Her style is just like her music- fresh, exciting and youthful with more than a nod to 80s and 90s electro. We love how Yasmin crams different influences together for a style that is completely her own, mixing grunge, vintage and modern futuristic styles for the perfect party look. Even if you’re not a DJ club-hopper like Miss Yasmin herself, you can take a leaf from her book and mix your styles together to look like you are.
Yasmin’s tipped to be a big star in the charts, but we have a feeling that it won’t be long before she’s spotted in the front row at Fashion Week, either. Keep an eye out for this girl – I know ShinyStyle will be. Want to know more about her? Check out her site, Yasmin’s World, to check out her remixes, mix-tapes and blog updates (she’s a big fashion lover as well as a hot-shot music gal).
To check out some of Yasmin’s best looks so far, check out the gallery above.

Style icon spotlight: Jane Birkin
By emilyborrett on May 31st, 2011
Jane looked like true rock and roll royalty in a simple micro-minidress and a seventies pendant. This is one girl that didn't ever have to try to look good
We’ve all been going mad here at ShinyStyle for the seventies and boho trends over the last few weeks, so it seems only fair to pay tribute to one of the trend’s most important icons, Jane Birkin. The actress and singer was right in the middle of it all through the late sixties and seventies and was one of that period’s most well-remembered and well-dressed women.
The then-lover and collaborator of French lothario Serge Gainsbourg, and an impressive film actress, everyone wanted a piece of her. It’s no wonder that Hermes designed a bag in her name in 1984.
You know that you’re obviously a big deal when women like Kate Moss are citing you as one of their main style inspirations. When you look at photos of Jane from the period which she is so famous for, she embodies the laid-back cool hippy spirit of that time: bare feet, scruffy hair, denim and floaty prints which are – surprise surprise – all parts of pretty much the coolest trend right now.
In celebration of Jane Birkin, retro style and all things seventies, we’ve put together a gallery with some of the actress’ best looks and pieces on the high street to recreate them. Aren’t we good to you, readers?
