Harajuku
Well, spring has sprung and the sun is finally smiling down on Manchester. At lunchtime Piccadilly Gardens will be crammed with people clutching their low fat Shapers salads and bottled water, breathing in bus fumes before trawling back to work. Every square of grass will be full of people reading paperbacks and sunbathing, baring parts which should remained covered. By tea time, when there’s a definite chill in the air, the familiar waft of barbecues will drift through the window and a few doors down the neighbours will be shivering round a grill. The evening news will announce a hose pipe ban.
If you want to celebrate summer in style, you should definitely take a look at the Harajuku website. Based in sunny LA, Harajuku have designed a glamorous range of swimwear and yoga attire. All garments are made in their LA studio.
The swimwear features ‘quirky prints, sophisticated solids, and tons of black’, with shapes to flatter every figure. There are over 70 styles of tops and bottoms, which can be bought separately so that you can mix and match. They also offer a customisation service.
So, whether you’re jetting off to some exotic location, lounging at the lido or swimming laps at the local baths, add a bit of LA glamour. Full details available at www.harajukuswimwear.com.
