Copenhagen Fashion Week recently reminded of two things. Firstly, just how casual fashion is at the moment (and by fashion, I mean the stuff we actually wear rather than the stuff that gets photographed for magazines). Secondly, the importance of the leather jacket as the standalone trend piece. It’s the fashion gift that just keeps on…
Copenhagen Fashion Week street style is always a celebration of Scandi-cool (as well as a desperate attempt to stay warm while channelling key trends). This time though, there was a new edge as colour and accessories jumped into the spotlight.
Au Jour Le Jour is a label that’s been making an impact in recent seasons and based on the pre-fall 16 offer, it looks set to continue that grand tradition. Here’s why…
Quilting is key for pre-fall 16 outerwear and it’s even working its way into daytime dressing with some labels giving us quilted tops, skirts and pants. But for most of us, quilting is best as an outerwear option.
Chilly temperatures added $200m in extra sales to US apparel retailers in the run-up to the New Year. Yippee. No, wait… quick calculation. In a country of nearly 323m people and some pretty hefty climate extremes, that’s a spend of less than 62 cents per person. Ouch! So what went wrong? A warm autumn +…
The presence of the bomber jacket in many pre-fall 16 collections may not be earth-shattering news but it does represent a key alternative to the ubiquitous biker… and a bigger opportunity than the biker to play with colour, texture and fabric.
Animal print lovers like myself should be looking forward to pre-fall 2016 as there’s a strong big cat print and texture trend coming through that’s being seen on coats, skirts, bags and shoes.
The pre-fall collections moved into a higher gear today as Gucci released Alessandro Michele’s latest collection… and it’s a real ‘collection’. 78 looks, rather than the 20 or so many labels send out for pre-season. It continues the exuberant retro-boho-luxe-dressing up looks that Michele obviously loves (you can never accuse him of being a minimalist)…
Burberry, Belstaff and Public School have kicked off the pre-fall 16 season (even earlier than usual this year). And what’s on offer? Some cosy-but-rugged outerwear options that mean you don’t have relegate your parkas and bombers to the back of the wardrobe just yet.
