Mango & Scarlett’s 4th fashion adventure is given a firm thumbs up

With summer on our heels, Mango has teemed up with Scarlett Johansson once again to produce the ‘summer light’ collection, now viewable online at www.mango.com. This new collection will get you grasping for the credit card and persuading yourself that these are essential purchases, and the only possible way you will get through the sweltering heat of the English summer. A stark contrast to the dark and vampishly sexy campaign of last season, Scarlett and Mango have enlisted the help of top photographer Mario Sorrenti to produce a campaign that showcases a collection that has something very different to say. Discarding the black leather and leopard print this time round, for pastel shades, and contrasts of simple silhouettes and feminine florals and frills. Not to mention plain pastels and paisley prints. Using a colour palette that clings to the lighter shades of blue, pink, off white and grey, the collection is undeniably summer and light. More importantly, in producing these fluid, soft, voluminous shapes with a country twist, comfort, femininity and style are brewed together into an unmissable concoction. Scarlett’s most versatile beauty leaves her almost unrecognisable in some of the photos, which should be appreciated as beautiful in their own right. Appearing natural with an almost dreamy quality, adds to the overall ethereal image of this seasons romance infused creations. My top items are the white lace dress at £119.90 (which looks like an expensive vintage find you just picked up in Paris last week) and the collection of platforms soon to be walking out of stores near you. If you are more of a flat shoe kind of gal, and assume that this makes summer your season for shopping, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. It seems to be all about the platform, so step up, or step out.
