I’m sure many of you have heard of or even watch the most successful television series to appear on Sky after the success of Madmen. Yes, I’m talking about Game of Thrones and why I love it…from a fashion perspective that is. If you do not like Lord of the Rings or anything related to mythology then it is definitely not the programme for you – but you can take inspiration this summer from the magnificent costumes and hairstyles!
The character Khaleesi spends most of her time it seems in the desert, so I love her Grecian style clothing. The costume designer Michele Clapton has designed her costumes with plenty of movement, using pleats and lightweight fabrics. This creates such an ethereal and elegant look that has been replicated for this summer’s high street collections.
The hairstyle I admit are at times quite ridiculous but if you have super long hair at the moment then I guarantee you will want to have a go at some of the pretty braided hairstyles. There aren’t really any tutorials for these but why not just give it a go yourself – that’s what I did anyway before my hair was short. I also think it is lovely to style your hair during the summer, especially when it is the season for pretty dresses! Feminine beauty is clearly celebrated and encouraged in Game of Thrones, even the wildling character Ygritte, who is one of the few women not in a long dress, displays natural beauty. If you haven’t started watching this phenomenal series – start now!
