So I don't think there is a person in the world who doesn't recognise the names of Kendall or Kylie Jenner. Their faces are practically engraved into my memory for all eternity given how often they pop up on my Tumblr dashboard or I read some article discussing their wishes to trademark the "Kendall and Kylie" tagline (there will only ever be one Kylie, soz).
Topshop is essentially the field commander of the high-street marching band with an aptly fitting title so it was no surprise to me that they collided with K+K to create their new exclusive clothing collection which will surely appeal to groups of impressionable young girls simply only purchasing for the Jenner trademark.
I can't say what I really expected from the pieces as I'm not a super serious, religious follower of the Jenner siblings so I just sort of headed over to the site early this morning to check it out. There are thirteen pieces in total with a variety of garments from palazzo pants to shorts and co-ord blouses. The collection is described as a "simple and vintage-inspired way to do LA style", it really is very simple featuring a basic vintagey looking floral print on most of the pieces alongside flowy materials and distressed denim, perfect for the upcoming summer months and surely inspired by their home state.
It isn't that I dislike the collection or that it doesn't contain some variety (because it certainly does, uh hello, palazzo pants and baseball tees) but it's just nothing that I haven't seen before. The pieces are extremely pretty and I'm super interested myself in the Embroidered Wrap Top (pictured) and the Floral Playsuit. I enjoy how the floral print is applied to multiple pieces so that people have the option to mix'n'match though I kind of would have expected a print that's a little more than something that's been plastered over every high-street store since time began. The items don't look like anything I couldn't find a dupe of somewhere else, essentially. That being said, perhaps I'm just a little cynical, the pieces are very pretty and maybe this basic style is what they were striving for in the hope that it would appeal to a wider demographic.
The prices range from £28 for their "Golden State of Mind" tee to £80 for their White Duster Coat, so nothing too out of budget for regular, returning Topshop customers. Looking at the site now actually their Best Coast West Coast baseball tee has been taken down so I'm pretty sure that's a sign that this collection is going to be flying from the site into the hands of hungry KK Jenner followers.
I guess I better stop being a little cynical piece of shit and get my hands on that floral playsuit asap....
