Time of the Season



It’s the time of year when the weather is just about as unpredictable as a career ala Lohan, which makes choosing appropriate attire each day no mean feat. But before we all reach for that pair of trusty old jeans, it’s perhaps wise to see exactly what the fashion industry has in store for us for A/W this year.

Perhaps the most visited trend for this season was biker. As seen at Roland Mouret and Balmain, what could be more versatile and weather proof that a biker jacket and a pair of chunky boots? Better yet is that for the hard of pocket among us, an on-trend leather jacket can be easily picked up as Vintage or on the high-street.

For those less bound by black, the catwalks offered a glam alternative in forties heritage chic. Camel hair, tweed, fur and tailoring were among the pieces by Prada, Hermes and Lanvin. And really, what better excuse than to brighten up those grim grey days with an alluring splash of red lippie than a nod to nineteen forties elegance?

Of course there’s always the options to combine the two looks-Alexander Wang please take your bow. A well cut piece with a pair of wet look leather pants and spike heels just screams urban chic. Just how practical it is however, for a hard days slog at the office, still remains to be seen.
