Pixie Lott For Lipsy: Exclusive
Building on the success of her debut fashion collection for Lipsy, Pixie Lott is back in the designer seat for spring/summer 2011 with another two collections: California Dreaming, which is packed with perfect festivalwear, and Pixie Party, for all our party dress needs. The singer talks us exclusively through the collection in her own words - with some additional musings on style, shopping and being star struck by her own fans thrown in
“When it came to creating the collection, I kind of put my head into what girls will want to be wearing.”
Angel all-over studded dress, £55, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“I still think it’s still kind of crazy how you think of the design and you’re all in the meeting thinking about what should happen, and then you see it all on the shelf!”
Deep peach off-the-shoulder dress, £60, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“This vintage-inspired top was influenced by something I found in a vintage store. Then we just sort of brought it to life.”
White Angel embellished top, £38, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“I love anything with a Peter Pan collar, so this is one of my faves.”

“Wide-leg trousers are going to be a big thing this summer.”
Nara floral print wide legged trousers, £45, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“I love the colour coral. This piece is really bold; it’s off the shoulder and it still has the 70s inspiration because the sleeve’s flared. I think this is quite elegant and flattering.”
Vivid coral one shoulder dress, £58, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“I get kind of like star-struck when I see people wearing the dresses. I was in Hyde Park watching Stevie Wonder last summer and this girl had the whole outfit on, and I had to stop and take her picture. I was like, wow, you look amazing!”
Summer jade strapless embellished dress, £75, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“I have two style icons: Edie Sedgwick and Brigitte Bardot.”
Vintage cream one shoulder embellished dress, £68, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“When it comes to styling, I would definitely always say I like to add accessories. I love rings and chains and headbands, and putting things in my hair.”
Deep cerise one shoulder embellished dress, £68, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“I think British fashion is the best because it’s so effortless. Everyone can be individual and dress how they want. It’s classy, but it’s also kooky and cool.”
White burnout parrot top, £30, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“When it comes to shopping, I like to browse. That’s why I like shopping in vintage stores because you never know what you’re going to find – you could find this one-off piece and the good thing about those kind of shops is, no one else is going to have it.”
Summer blossom beaded crop top, £38, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“I love summer, because you get to wear shorts!”
Leopard print shorts, £35, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“My ideal way to spend a summer’s day would be at a festival. I love festivals. They’re the highlight of the summer, so hopefully I’ll be able to get to a few this year.”
Animal print floaty strappy jumpsuit, £65, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“The thing about festivals is that nobody cares what anyone looks like. Everyone can just express themselves however they want; have big crazy hair and crazy make-up, or go for the natural look, and because everyone’s just slumming it in tents and stuff not everyone’s going to look perfect. I think that’s the whole fun of it. You just have to more think about having fun, rather than getting too caught up in whether you've got your lipstick on.”
Spring floral print strapless ruffle playsuit, £45, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
“The playsuits are great because they’re so easy and comfortable to run around in, and not be worrying about sitting properly and stuff!”
Nara floral print playsuit, £55, Pixie Lott For Lipsy
...There you have it, folks. And not only does the clever Pixie design the collection, sit in on meetings and go out and sell it to stockists, she models it, too! Is there nothing this girl can’t do?
The Pixie Party and California Dreaming collection is available from 24th May in all Lipsy stores and concessions and online at www.lipsy.co.uk.
