Hello Kitty as You’ve Never Seen Her Before


One of the things that Hello Kitty loves about Pynkiss is that she can be whatever she wants to be. In one collection she’s a mermaid with sparkling sequins on her fishy tail and in another she’s Cinderella dressed in a fairytale ball gown, festooned in crystals and beads. Only Pynkiss are allowed to show Hello Kitty in this way and so you’ll never see that lovable little cutie in so many cool and exciting outfits and guises.
The Pynkiss Style Team, who’ve dressed the likes of David and Victoria Beckham, One Direction and Britney Spears to name just a few, have put together their insider guide to the Spring and Summer Collection.

The Mermaid Collection
This collection uses not one, not two, but three of this season’s BIG fashion trends – mint green, stripes and bold vibrant colours – so there’s no way you can miss out in the style stakes if you choose anything from this fabulous collection. Never before has Hello Kitty been seen with a mermaid’s tale and just like mermaids themselves, this collection is sure to become legendary. And of course, it has a swimwear range as well as cool vest, dresses, trousers, shorts, sweaters and T-shirts.


The Fairy Collection
Just as you would expect from a collection of this name the beautiful fairy collection is ultra-feminine. Featuring gentle pastel shades and wonderful flower prints, this is bang on trend for spring and summer. Hello Kitty of course makes an appearance on the T-shirts within the collection, sitting on a lily pad or surrounded by flowers, another big trend this year. Mix and match items such as tops and T-shirts with leggings or go for the complete fairy feel with the flowing sundress. Hello Kitty certainly has cast a spell with this collection.

The Ice-Cream Collection
If you like your clothes to be ultra-cool this is the collection for you! Featuring the very ice-creams that Hello Kitty sells in her Pynkiss World cafe, (of course, from the ice-cream capital of the world, Italy, where her design studio is based) and backed by intense colours, yet another big trend for the summer season, these are cool clothes for active people. After all, if you’ve worked up a sweat what could be better than a cooling ice-cream? Choose from hooded and non-hooded jackets, pants, T-shirts and shorts and stay cool this summer

The Mushroom Collection
As much as Hello Kitty loves the city, she’s just as at home in the country and we see her in this collection at her jaunty best, in a cute hat, hunting for mushrooms. This collection’s trademark is its innovative use of denim and frills and with dresses and trousers, shorts and T-shirts, jackets and long-sleeved tops there’s something to suit everyone, no matter what the occasion. 

The Cinderella Collection
Hello Kitty shall go to the ball, and you’ll be dressed fit for one in any of the items from this collection! Stunning is the only word to describe it. Besides seeing Hello Kitty herself dressed to the nines in a beautiful ball gown, simply dripping with sequins, beads and crystals, the entire Cinderella fairytale in played out across the collection, from the pumpkin carriage to the famous glass slipper and even the clock striking midnight. Incorporating colour and the ever classical black and white, this is the ultimate party collection with gorgeous dresses galore, and for the tom-boys out there, there’s even a cute play on a tuxedo (jacket or bolero). Pynkiss Party Perfect!

The Bubble Collection
What could be more fun than blowing bubbles in the sunshine? And that’s exactly what we see Hello Kitty doing in this collection, as well as for the first time ever in her bathroom enjoying a soak in a bubble-filled tub! Mixing pinks and purples with denims and blues, this versatile collection is perfect for everyday wear, as well as a special occasion. Featuring pants, dresses, T-shirts, skirts and long-sleeved tops this really is a cuter than cute collection.


There’s loads more in the Pynkiss Spring/Summer Collection, some featuring Hello Kitty herself, some with her iconic (and much loved) Pynkiss bow and others designs and ranges are simply her take on the very latest trends and fashions. The Pynkiss Style Team predict that as the weather heats up so will people’s passion for Pynkiss.

Hello Kitty Thinks...... A Girl Can Never Have Too Many Bags!


 
A bag is more than just something to keep your purse and mobile phone in – it’s a fashion statement in its own right. And that’s why Hello Kitty has always made sure that the Pynkiss bag collections are stylish, quirky and fun as well as practical and bang on trend.

Fashion bibles such as Elle and Vogue raved about the Pynkiss bags at the Milan Fashion Week launch back in September 2011, their favourite being the see-thru handbags with the chain strap and Hello Kitty herself emblazoned across the front. We ran an online competition for one lucky Pynkiss fan to win one of these now iconic bags and saw thousands of people enter, all clamouring to get their hands on the bag of the moment.

Yet again, at the recent first ever Pynkiss boutique opening event, the bag collection drew gasps from the crowds gathered for the event and fashion writers are waxing lyrical about them. 

This season Hello Kitty’s personal favourite is the pinkest of pink see-thru bag. She took last season’s must have bag and sent  it to a whole new level, making it bigger and bolder with super-stylish bow detail and her own cute little face picked out in diamante. There is also a white version to perfectly match this season’s black and white trend and other colours too for those who love their vibrant colours.
 Hello Kitty knows that a girl can never have too many bags, so go on, bag a bag from Pynkiss!

The Pynkiss Style Team give their top fashion tips for Spring/Summer 2012


With the Pynkiss design studio situated deep in the heart of the world’s fashion capital, Milan, it’s not surprising that the Pynkiss Style Team are at the cutting edge of this season’s fashion trends. 

Some of our team have dressed the world’s most famous names, such as David and Victoria Beckham, Britney Spears, P. Diddy, Kanye West, One Direction and JLS and have worked on such iconic TV shows as The X Factor and American Idol. 

The recent opening of the Beirut Pynkiss boutique, (the first ever anywhere on the planet) saw our style team offering fashion advice and styling Pynkiss customers in-store and via a specially created twitter and text feed. Now, you too can pick the fashion brains of our style team and by following their tips you’ll be setting trends, not following them! 



·    This season is all about diversity so colour your outfits accordingly. Soft neutrals and pastels, like you’ll find in our Mermaid and Princess collections, are as popular and on-trend as the bright and vibrant shades in our Ice-cream and Bubble collections



·    Classic cuts and colours will ensure effortless style right through to Autumn and you can’t go far wrong with elegant black and white. Every fashion show that Fifi (Pynkiss’ Head of Fashion) visited this spring had vast swathes of black and white fabrics on the catwalk. Fifi loved this trend and came back looking like a zebra! It's true

·    Take a look at Hello Kitty’s dress-up app at www.pynkissworld.com and you’ll see a generous smattering of these first two trends in her choices of outfits – never let it be said we don’t follow our own advice

·    Feminine frills and lace are massive this season, girls - dresses and skirts are BIG news



·    Expect animal prints to be running wild all over a high street near you soon

·    Think mint-choc chip ice-cream as the weather gets hotter and you’ll be bang on trend, ladies. Pynkiss has taken what is the hottest colour this season – mint green – and gone completely crazy with it. Check out our Mermaid and Ice-cream collection to get the most from this season’s must-have’s



·    Pynkiss has to be THE style leader when it comes to this season’s patterns and prints. The word the press and fashion writers have been using is ‘whimsical’, but we prefer to call it Pynkiss-cal! Patterns from bird prints to fish, fruit, feathers, plants, clouds and all things ANIMAL will emblazon everything from T-shirts to dresses, bags to skirts. Remember, we did it first with LAST season’s collection


Next month, Fifi will be giving away some of the insider trends and tips she discovered on her worldwide fashion tour of the classiest fashion shows the globe has to offer. Sign up for the Pynkiss newsletter to not miss out! CLICK HERE
