- Satin Fabric -
Satin is one of our favourite fabric trends - this lustrous cloth is versatile and can be used for everything from day, evening and nightwear when paired with some pretty lace. Satin is soft to the touch and the high-shine makes it look elegant and expensive. Satin has undergone a bit of a renaissance lately, spotted in many collections on the catwalk and in every colour, from neutrals, to fiery reds and forest green tones - ideal to create that power suit with strong shoulders.
- Patchwork Fabric -
Patchwork is another fashionable fabric seen in Autumn/Winter collections. This eye-catching ‘quilt’ aesthetic is in line with the increasing awareness of sustainability and going back to basics which is at the top of everyone’s mind. The patchwork trend gives a slip dress, maxi skirts or jeans a retro-vintage feel and the reminder that making (or having) your clothes made to your exact specification and style encourages the longevity of the pieces created.
- Sequin Fabric -
Sequin and metallics are two of the most fashionable fabrics in 2020. Once solely reserved for the party season, today every season is a reason to sparkle and shine. Sequin discs reflect light making the fabric ideal for a fun and whimsical creation, for example, why not embellish a tuxedo-style jacket collar with a sequin trim or create an understated and elegant high-waisted sequin skirt or that statement LB(s)D with some feather trim because sequin is here to stay!
- Denim -
We are embracing and loving the new denim trend after years of wearing skinny jeans. Denim is a regular fabric trend thanks to it’s versatility. This year has been no different, seeing the growing trend of high-rise trousers - both 70’s wide flares and straight-leg denim which are chic, elongating and flattering. This much-loved fabric also made an appearance in cropped culottes, boiler suits and 70’s skirts paired with long boots.
- Leather & Leather Look Fabric -
Both real and faux leather continues to be one of the biggest fabric trends of Autumn/Winter 2020, worn from head-to-toe or as cool separates. Whether you opt for oversized silhouettes, tailored pieces, or feminine cuts, the upcoming season is forecasted to be dominated by black and jewel coloured leather for everything from dresses, to boiler suits and trousers - a fabric trend worth investing in that you will wear for years to come.
- Velvet -
Velvet is one of the most luxurious fabrics spotted in many Autumn/Winter catwalks. The key to this fabric’s appeal is its texture and delicate shine. Velvet fabric is soft to the touch, warm and has a romantic look. This makes it ideal for creating an evening outfit, for example a quilted velvet jacket or voluminous cape. Velvet also looks great in many colours, with purples, black and greens being key trends for Autumn/Winter 2020.
