Collage Prints

Moving on from a flowery summer haze, autumn brings a grown-up, elegant edge to ditzy patterns. Rich winter floral and animal motifs scream sophistication, whilst cut-out embellishments and delicate details create a composed yet playful look. From sleek blooms to decorative spots, the question is…to which pattern tribe do you belong?

Fetish Dressing

Feed your rebellious fashion urge this season. The more daring amongst us can channel their inner Lady Gaga with latex and PVC, whilst the more subtle might consider Kate Moss with hints of leather and lace. Slick black and vamped-up accessories polish this look to perfection.

Autumn Berries

With focus on a new autumnal palette, this evokes a rich and dark sophistication, with acidic flashes uplifting a muddy base. From deep burgundies and rich plum, to cider orange and scarlet, there’s a berry hue for every occasion.

Old Guard

Traditional and formal; classic and clean: our attention turns to the British archetype with bold royal embellishments and military touches. Square cuts and double breasted buttons were key choices on the catwalk, with McQueen and Balmain leading the way.

Femme Fatale

Maximum impact dressing for bulb-flashing occasions, this is glamour at its very best. Leaving behind the acidic palette of summer, jewel tones and animal prints take centre stage for show-stopping sophistication. Set on a neutral palette with pops of precious gem and animal accessories, the Femme Fatale is never shy.
