Oasis Black Sequin Jacket – Hero Jacket – Trophy Jacket
Aug 21, 2009 A/W 09, fashion, oasis
The Hero Jacket or Trophy Jacket as some may know it, enjoyed a small following this past season thanks to Kate Moss introducing them into her Topshop range…
However, heavily embellished, the Hero Jacket is definitely more season appropriate for AW09 and therefore you can expect to see them everywhere as they’re a great way of adding some va va voom to a casual ensemble!
New into Oasis is the Black Sequin Jacket – a more contemporary approach to the current trend, this Trophy Jacket has been designed more like a boyfriend blazer with bling!
So versitile, just like a blazer this Hero Jacket could be worn with a multitude of outfits from floaty frocks to dressing up jeans and and plain tee. It’s a AW09 must have!

My love affair with Chanel-esque ‘homages’ continues as I count down the hours till ’Coco Before Chanel’ and have found a stunning monochrome jacketfrom Jaeger!
Available from My-wardrobe, the Wing Collar Cropped Tux is a soft beige, cropped tuxedo style jacket with black braided edging. It’s modern, open fronted design looks almost like origami - providing great contrast to the black ribboned trim.
For maximum impact, team this monochrome jacketwith an all black ensemble – either over a structured shift dress or black top and cigarette pants for a strong silhouette.
Currently in stock at My-wardrobe, this monochrome jacketis a Chanel-esque must-have!

An iconic following for many years and with the release of the new film, “Coco Before Chanel” it’s no wonder everyone’s going coco crazy!
Setting the benchmark for chic Parisian fashion, it was Coco Chanel’s simple attitude towards high fashion, her mantra that to achieve classic elegance it’s simply a case of ‘less is more’ has ensured that the signature Chanel style has remained enduringly popular…
To chanel your Chanel style, have a look at the wonderful high st ‘homages’ on offer – my favourite being the Chanel-esque jacket from Marks and Spencer. A simple dogtooth jacket inspired by French couture, this Chanel-esque jacket would look great teamed with a pair of skinny jeans or wide-leg trews.
For a more authentic Chanel style jacket take a look at the 125 Years Boucle Jacket - simple, stunning and currently on sale!
