September’s London Fashion Week saw the return of fashion’s darlings, along with a host of fresh design talent, and now that LFW is out of the way, we can all concentrate on perfecting our favourite looks.
Whether you’re feeling avant garde or just dipping your toes in the fashion water this season, you will no doubt find yourself falling into fashion line as the runway’s key trends are already hitting the high street.
Key trends for winter will be forties, fetish, heritage and nostalgia, and at the heart of each of these, as usual, is the dress. The simple dress, in its many wonderful and elaborate guises was out on in force for London Fashion Week, so take your pick from the plethora of styles.
Louis Vuitton paid homage to all things fetish in leather dresses while London designer Eudon Choi showcased a collection with distinctly equestrian influences, combined with Grecian shapes for dynamic, flowing dresses.
Alexander McQueen, now operating under the creative direction of Sarah Burton, was on standard exquisite form with a collection of signature bold, avant garde dresses, taking in both heritage and fetish for dramatic effect and Gucci paid homage to forties’ glamour.
If you can’t quite stretch to a couture price tag, head to the high street or go online to find your perfect winter dress. Very.co.uk is a one-stop-shop for directional, trend led dresses with offerings from high street retailers like French Connection and Pepe Jeans. It also has online exclusives and stocks collections from BBFs Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton. Shop Holly’s collection for classic, feminine dresses in forties shapes, while Fearne’s offers a fresher and more directional look.
So, with more choice than ever and styles to suit all, whether you’re cladding up in couture of wearing high street finds, make a buzz this winter.
