LFW // AW15 ACCESSORIES

No Comments »

After NYFW came to an end, we told you some of the overall trends to look out for in AW15 - from Ice Princess to Nomadic. In this post, we look at the key accessory trends to keep an eye on so that you can start prepping for the season early!

FUR



Fur makes a comeback every autumn/winter season, and this year is no exception. Some of the hottest designers, such as Roksanda Ilincic, coated lashings of fur in bright and dusky colours onto anything from scarves to bags. If you caught our NYFW post last week, you'll already know that there are both Russian and royal trend influences expected in the coming season, so fur accessories are a must for any avid fashion follower.

FUTURISTIC



This year will see the release of both Star Wars VII and Avatar 2 - and it's clear designers have been taking inspiration from the sci-fi genre. The futuristic trend was favoured by many brands at LFW, with modern shapes, clean colours and light reflecting materials being seen frequently. This trend works best in milkyway colours and brilliant whites, but add splashes of metallics for a space age aesthetic.

CHOKERS



The choker has been deemed the emerging item to watch for AW15. It has been growing in popularity since this time last year, and is showing no sign of stopping any time soon. For autumn/winter, try quirky shapes and unusual materials to make a serious statement and show that you're ahead of the fashion game.

RUFFLES



Victoriana and royalty are set to be huge trends later this year, with heavily adorned fabrics being accented with fur and ruffles. Ruffled necklines are a sure fire way to impress your fashion forward friends, but if that sounds a little to OTT for you, then simply adding ruffles through your accessories will add texture and movement to your look in no time.

Our coverage of the Milan Fashion Week will be up in the next few days, so be sure to check back for more trend information ahead of everyone else!

NYFW // INTRODUCING AW15

No Comments »


The models have left the Big Apple after strutting their stuff down the runways for some of the world's hottest designers. As New York Fashion Week comes to an end, it's time to analyse the shows and check out what we can expect to see in AW15. We're here to give you the run down from this year's showstopping catwalks!

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE



If you grew up in the '90s watching all the classic animated movies, you're sure to have had an Anastasia obsession at some point. For AW15, the Russian doll theme is very much upon us, with rich jewel tones and glistening gold embellishments contrasting against black and white backdrops. This was one of the most commonly seen trends at NYFW, with the majority of the designers taking some inspiration. If there's one fashion bandwagon you should be jumping on this autumn/winter, it's definitely this one!

NOMADIC



Winter is all about wrapping up, and with all the snow we've had this season you can guarantee we'll be seeing more of it next year! Designer legends like Anna Sui donned their models in suede eskimo style boots and fur trimmed outerwear for a nomadic feel. Think neutral tones with splashes of wine red and steel blue for a modern twist on a classic winter theme.

ROYALTY



We've already seen hints of jewel tones through the 'From Russia With Love' and 'Nomadic' trends, but some designers went one step further and dressed their models in head-to-toe bold colour. Fur outerwear and gold have also been worked into this regal trend - think Queen Victoria or the House of Tudor. There's nothing too over the top for this look; adorn yourself as much as you can and don't hold back!

ICE PRINCESS



This winter, expect to see lashings of embellishment over snowy shades of sheer chiffon and mesh. Many of the designers at NYFW modelled their entire collection on this theme, with intricate beading and flowing trains being a heavy focus. Marchesa's collection in particular had a strong ethereal style, with this powdery grey-blue tiered chiffon dress being an absolute showstopper. The Frozen hype is very much still with us, so don't be afraid to rock this ice princess look!

Stay tuned for our next AW15 run down next week with all the best from London Fashion Week!
