Spotted on Alexa Chung at London Fashion Week, paisley prints are a key trend for Spring. This timeless print is the perfect accessory to block colour basics and fine knits (a la Alexa), and looks incredibly modern paired with sleek heels and a cropped leather jacket.
1. This easy T-shirt paisley print dress has contrast panels for a modern spin on the design classic.
2. These paisley print trousers combine a sporty shape with a rich blend of colours - contrast them with a neon bright for Spring style.
3. For easy daytime dressing, pair this vibrant print paisley top with clean whites and smart flats.

Show Off
Électrique was front row and centre at The LOOK Show on Friday.
French Connection wowed on the runway at LOOK magazine’s fabulous catwalk presentation that celebrated the best of High Street fashion. Held at Chelsea’s sleek Saatchi Gallery off the King’s Road, guests were greeted with canapés and a champagne reception. Inside, Électrique spotted Keisha Buchanan charming the crowd in FC’s Crepe Spot Jumpsuit and mingled with a well dressed set that included The Like, Diana Vickers, Martine McCutcheon, Calum Best and Una from The Saturdays. Pounding the runway in the hottest high street designs was American model Crystal Wren, who rocked this season’s new looks. When the show was over, guests walked away with a LOOK goodie bag and a shopping list as long as the legs on the catwalk!
