Topshop have just launched an awesome collection inspired by Mexico's Day of the Dead festival which mixes pansy prints with skeletons and skulls. It's a combination that works brilliantly.
Leather, over-sized knits and lace are all part of Topshop's Day of the Dead collection - as eccentric and colourful as the Mexican festival itself.
Throw in some massive heels and lots of grunge, and I can’t see what else someone could want from a high street fashion collection.
