Editor's Picks: Elizabeth Fraser-Bell

Tattoo prints, retro prom-worthy heels and creepy-cute illustrations – Dazed’s fashion editor chooses her favourite new designs to banish the winter blues

Whether it’s skate legends Vans taking on Liberty’s whimsical archive prints or fashion provocateur Jean Paul Gaultier teaming up with Eastpak, here Dazed fashion editor Elizabeth Fraser-Bell compiles her favourite items from those who are adding an element of fun to fashion – regardless of the cold.

BACK TO THE 90s WITH ALEXA CHUNG

Cat-eyed It-girl Alexa Chung brings the denim of her youth back to life in her 20-piece collaboration with AG Jeans. The California-made garments revisit a sense of fun and rock 'n' roll that are inherent to the fabric’s history, creating skirts that have us thinking of a young Liv Tyler.

COACH GETS CUTE AND CREEPY

The Coach SS15 girls strutted around in messy pastel fur, vinyl skirts and platforms – decorated with exclusive, eerily-cute illustrations by Gary Baseman. A set of saccharine-scare creatures added Lynchian undertones of “something’s not quite right” to the collection – a theme which was revisited by the brand, for their menswear AW15 debut show.

#MAKINGMOVIES WITH ASHLEY WILLIAMS

Dazed 100 designer Ashley Williams has partnered up with cult Camden-born footwear label Red or Dead to create a 60s inspired collection entitled #makingmovies – an appropriate title, considering these shoes look fit to be seen spinning around a ballroom, on the feet of a Sofia Coppola protagonist. 

REVOLUTIONARY RAY BANS

Whether you’re Bob Dylan or The Blues Brothers, the Ray Ban Wayfarers are historically cool. There’s a whole lot more to them than black plastic, though – especially now that they come in a variety of patterns and prints, proving that even the classics can get a new lease of life.

INKED ALL OVER BY O.X.S 

Tattoo enthusiasts rejoice – Italian brand O.X.S have paired up with inking legend Alle Tattoo to reinvent the Frank boot, a 90s favourite. The tattoo artist, who holds the record for the longest non-stop tattoo session, has emblazoned a white pair with traditional dagger, rose and anchor symbols – for inked-up lace-ups.
