Fur is Alive

This Season has proven that fur is well and truly alive with both designers and high street embracing this craze with open arms. As always wherever fur goes controversy follows however it continues to strive forward for another season. Yet again we see the emergence of full on luxurious fur coats as well as fur being used as trimmings collars and sleeves. Controversial or not fur seems to be the luxury buy on everyones wish list this season.


Flower Power
This season the power of the flower has came back with a bang for yet another season with florals taking a slightly darker twist in comparison to what we have seen before. An abundance of floral pattern is mixed and mingled together to creat flamboyant displays of pattern which is then immersed in a riot of enamel rich colours to create girly floral but with richer tones


Frenzy for Fetish
A fenzy for fetish has begun with fashion taking a twist towards fantasy, beneath the fetish bondage lays a fragility and femininity that is both pretty and delicate. Kinky, shiny waist cinching belts are a major feature bringing a sexy focus that draws the eye. Belts, straps,buckles restrain and  frame the body with leather collars and cuffs adding to the look. Ultimately this is a body defining story, where a desire to fantasise meets high fashion.

 
History Relived

In this trend we take a look back to the past on a historic journey where restraint is ignored in exchange for opulence and extravegance. Byzantine riches, medival beauty, baroque decoration and the adornment of vestments of the High Church inspire the most elaborate fabrics, lavish embellishment with embroidery, beading to produce a beautiful and dramatic display of extravagence.


Theme Project

Allsorts
Print and pattern take centre stage in exbuberant form with exciting mixes of polka dots, candy strips and multi-coloured prints brightening up the catwalks. In this trend we see both paired back versions of print aswell as crazy colour collaborations that scream fun!!!!In the end we have both beauifully elegant garments as well as the fun exuberant explosions of colour

Ladies as Gentlemen
This trend see's women embrace the garments of their male conterparts. Shirts, ties and suits have emploded onto the catwalks with women rebelling against the delicate and pretty in favour of this edgy expression of attitude which takes it's influence from the rockabilly styles of the 50's and the androgynous Madonna style statements of the 80's were girls can look boyish without looking brash
