Although summer is desperately trying to cling on for a few more weeks, it’s safe to say that autumn is upon us and in the fashion world it has well and truly arrived!
With the start of the long awaited fashion month yesterday in New York, its hard not to get drawn into the hype and excitement surrounding the glamorous and fast paced fashion world. Although we are excited to see what some of our favourite designers have in store for S/S’13, its all about the A/W’12 on the high street right now and we are loving it!
This season has so much to offer, including gothic, leather, baroque, military, masculine and the deep gem colours of red, purple, green and blue. These fabulous trends that have sprung from the catwalk came from all over the world, with the likes of Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel and Christopher Kane all dipping in to these fabulous trends to produce something unique and great inspiration for the high street.
The Gothic look is a key trend this season with lace, skulls, crosses and leather all gracing the hightstreet. We are loving this look and the way jewellery is combined with it makes for a fabulous finishing touch. Layering up pendants and necklaces is a great way to tie this trend into your look. Why not layer this gothic rolled gold cross pendant with a few chunkier chains for the ultimate gothic-queen or even rock-chic look. Although, this piece is delicate the nature of it makes a bold statement especially teamed with black, studs and of course leather!
The other trend we are swooning over this season is the use of deep gem colours including red, purple, blue and green. This stunning palette was used by Chanel, Christopher Kane and Alexander McQueen to create some beautifully striking pieces! In keeping with this trend, Garnet, Amethyst, Sapphire and Emeralds are definitely one to watch! By adding a pair of stunning precious stone earrings or even a ring the trend can be worked even if you’re not quite brave enough to step out all in one of these colours! We’re loving the idea of combining Garnet with lace and leather to combine colour and gothic for a fabulous new look!
