Autumn/Winter 2016: Top Trends

It’s that time of year again – the days are getting shorter, the cold nights are drawing in and boy are we are ready for a brand new season of fabulous trends. We’ve collected a few of our top picks for Autumn/Winter 2016.

UPHOLSTERY ON THE UP

Once only deemed appropriate for use as old-world upholstery, brocade, baroque-inspired fabrics have made a comeback and are in high demand this season.

VELVET VISION

Velvet is no longer limited to just that vintage blazer in your grandmother's wardrobe. This season we’re shown how to wear velvet to suit all age groups, albeit in the form of a trouser suit, a blazer, and even a head-to-toe dress!
