How we select our trends that inspire our jewellery collections

Inspiration is all around us and we get inspiration from all walks of life. Each collection follows a different theme but some of our favourites this season are the Exotic Glam and Jungle Trends. The Exotic Glam collection was inspired by South American foliage with its bright Amazonian colours and vibrant textures and shapes. It is also one of the key trends this year.

Jungle fever is also hot on our list and the ‘ Garden of Stones’ is one of our most stunning and beautiful collections.

Later this year florals, lilac and purple will be a colour which will be hot on the fashion scene. Animal Prints and patterns are one of the key trends for the summer season and have been seen on the runways of all the top designers and on the high street. The Garden of Stones collection compliments this style with its bright colours which can be worn alone or stacked with other rings.

One of the key colours which should be in everyone’s wardrobe this season and inspired by the blankets of purple found in the deepest darkest forests is the colour lilac/purple.

We have incorporated this colour in our jewellery collections with the deep purple amethyst stones.

Next year’s trends focus more of digital and futuristic shapes where technology is used to enhance nature; improving and healing and we will focus on sci-fi colours and high tech imagery - scientific innovation, the challenge to break boundaries.

Tropicana – Next year’s designs will take inspiration from the Tropics with bursts of bright colours and prints. Highlighted patterns which centre around palm trees, pineapples, paradise and tropical motifs will be the rage. In terms of textures materials such as silk satin to printed chiffon will be used to add another dimension and more elaborate expressions featuring beading or 3D imagery will be seen on the runways.

Behind the Scenes: L&G 2014 Spring and Summer Shoots

Lolo and Galago is just a few weeks away from launching our designer jewellery- and our incredible photos- so we just had to share the fun and excitement we had behind the camera at our latest shoot in London.

Shooting for our launch campaigns, we found ourselves at Studio 9: a gorgeous, contemporary London location that used to be a school. But far from carrying out any maths lessons, Lolo & Galago converted the studio... into our very own Jungle Boutique!

500kg of exotic plants later and after working hard to create our own little piece of paradise thanks to Palmbrokers, our excited models donned some gorgeous dresses from the likes of Forever Unique to bring a contemporary and fashionable look to our exotic jungle.

We wanted to combine the international and exotic flavour of Lolo and Galago with a contemporary, designer feel- a task our creative director, Martin Lear, was assigned. Over 3,000 photos were taken over two days, using contemporary interior design combined with our designer jewellery to make sure we got exactly the looks we wanted.

Our wardrobes were bursting with incredible dresses, tops and shoes all provided by our fantastic stylist Pash from Style Creative, whilst makeup artist Maya made sure our models looked gorgeous with the fantastic looks she created- 2 suitcases worth of cosmetics were needed!

Good fun was had by all as everyone came together to work hard and deliver a fantastic contemporary, designer look to our London based studio.
Our launch photos will be released soon, when you can see Lolo & Galago’s designer jewellery in its full glory.
