Miss Selfridge Fashion Trends for Spring Summer 2006

This page features elements and press images from the spring 2006 Miss Selfridge collection.  Miss Selfridge is owned by Arcadia in UK.  These fashion looks are much softer than previous collections and reflect the trend for more ladylike styling.  Despite this there are plenty of urban chic elements that make for city wearability.

Belle Epoque

This collection embodies the artistic refinement of bygone eras meets modern day dressing with cotton ruffles and fluid jerseys dripping alongside work-wear denims and dramatic knitwear.

The grandeur of the late 1800s where Court fashion was all about decadence, volume and wear-ability, all provide a strong influence for SS06. 

Novelty shapes and fabrics are toned down with cleaner, architectural lines and dresses sit pretty with understated sportswear shapes.

Colours combine frosted greys, greens and mineral tones which are highlighted with silver and metallic finishes.

Sunset Couture

A touch of masculinity makes an entrance in to the most feminine of seasons softened with a preppy prettiness and a confident nod to Pop Art.

Modern sportswear gets mixed up with pleated pants, stripes and florals and poplins and gabardines, while acid tones lend texture to staple shades of navy.

Polo shirts, yokes and jogging pants are kept politely feminine with shirt collars, fine knits, and gingham.

Summer Love-In

Wrap yourself in braces and patchwork with an eclectic collection which proves you don’t have to be matching to be chic.

Jet Setter

A modern take on the cruise wear style of the 1950s sees crisp, pretty pieces with clean cut blousons and boxy jackets. With red, white and blue forming a core palette mixed in with sunny yellow and grass green for a flash of graphic inspiration. Prints are mixed and layered the pencil skirt is modernised with pinafore braces and denim is raised from the hips to sit firmly on the waist.

Vintage wasp belt £18 €27

Haute Hippies

Bohemian chic is given some summer loving with rock star metallics and fondant fancies. Camisoles and petticoats, washed denim and tailored jackets keep silhouettes simple and reminiscent of the coquettish style of the 70s. Colours are soft and muted and summer dresses are strapless and puffball or wrapped and belted worn with cardigans and beads.

Miss Selfridge

Fluted camisole £30 €45
Victoriana maxi skirt £40 €5

Supernova

Miss Selfridge

High waist jeans £38 €57
Braces £12 €18
White cotton blouse £25 €37

The season’s need for a masculine touch is viewed through rose tinted glasses with the collection mixing shorts with sashes and tailoring with trimmings. Watercolour prints in muted tones sit with vintage skinny denim and lurex knitwear and ruffled sleeves give character to cleaner lines. Think soft and dreamy, a collection for running away……
