Pre-fall 16: Five reasons to love Au Jour Le Jour
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…
Pre-fall 16 trend: It’s all pants!
Sometimes, the season and the pre-season just don’t give us much direction about where particular items are going. And usually, those core pieces – all those little tops, smart or casual pants, career wear skirts et al – that are crying out for change are the pieces most likely to see little of it. But on…
Pre-fall 16 trend: Pump up the volume
There’s a new feeling for volume in the pre-fall 16 collections. It’s not the dominant trend, but it’s there, it’s in lots of collections and it can’t be ignored.
Pre-fall 16 colour trend: The future’s orange
Oh orange… that queen of colours that’s about as easy to wear as a pile of books on your head, that’s as retro as an Ossie Clark dress and that’s as on-trend as it’s possible to get at the moment.
Pre-fall 16 print trend: Cat lovers
The new (pre-)season has one big print story that’s a five-star gift for knitwear designers, T-shirt maker, plus anyone who fell in love with Kidult and who likes the cute and the quirky. Cat prints are having a moment and are an easy way to update tops, skirts, coats, dresses – in fact, just about anything.…
Pre-fall 2016: Nine knits you need now
I love knitwear. It doesn’t love me of course – my record at keeping a seater looking vaguely respectable is two washes tops. But that doesn’t stop me adding sweater after sweater to my spending wishlist. These are my tops picks from the pre-fall 16 collections.
Pre-fall 2016 trend: The quilting bee
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.

Pre-fall 2016 key item: A mini adventure
The pre-fall collections have confirmed one thing – (almost) anything goes. That means that when it comes to length, there’s something for everyone and the mini is as big news as midi, maxi and everything in-between. So what’s key about the new minis? Well, what’s worn with them is as important as the skirts/dresses themselves.…
Pre-fall 2016: What’s the next big shoe trend?
Mules are continuing their quiet comeback with some key influencer labels going backless for pre-fall 16. Will this trend hit the big time? Maybe not – at least not yet. But it could be a slow-burner. We saw tastemaker labels getting behind mules at the SS16 shows last September/October and that means there’ll be plenty of…
