Onto the new.......
It's somehow liberating to embrace the new season,
and this autumn and winter offers so much to explore. From 'huggy bear' fur's and need it 'NOW' knitwear, to fairy tale dressing and 'east bloc' reigns (Think Marlene Dietrich circa 1930's.)
The possibility of reinvention thrills, but also horror beckons,

The possibility of reinvention thrills, but also horror beckons,
when everything you own, just doesn't seem quite right anymore?
So, in the next few weeks NET-A-DRESSER will translate the runway inspired trends, pointing you in the right direction to the best pieces on the high street this season.

1 EASTERN BLOC.
This is the new power dressing now.
Dangerous seduction and a "don't mess with me" attitude......
(Get noticed in the boardroom or bedroom this season!)

Leopard, snakeskin and a plethora of animal prints take a big centre stage this Autumn Winter......
Subtlety doesn't feature.
Just clash your animal prints in a more is more kind of way.

As always every new season we look forward as well as back.
And catching the eye once again, the most popular decade of all time....... Those swinging sixties.
5 FAIRY TALE'S

Become a 'cape' crusader..... Little Red Riding Hood has never looked so tempting.
Shakespeare's mischievous sprite Puck, comes to mind in Alberta Ferretti's feather dresses.

Paul & Joe: Autumn/Winter 2014-2015
Touchy feely fun fur. This season there is no shortage of the fluffy stuff.......Take inspiration from the 70's with Starsky and Hutch, and 'Huggy Bear' styling.
Too young to remember? Then look them up.

8 NORMCORE
AKA.....'PERFECTLY BORING'
Jil Sander: Autumn/Winter 2014-2015

Hermes: Autumn/Winter 2014-2015

'Normcore?'.......They are calling this a trend, well maybe?
For me this is perfect 'under the radar' investment dressing.
Not necessarily recognisable by it's season or by the designer.
Just beautifully cut wearable pieces, that effortlessly work in any wardrobe.
Whatever it's 'moniker', it's got my name written all over it..... except for the price tag!

Boho does winter.
Floaty dresses have a new take this season, just throw on some fur, or a blanket wrap, and you are winter ready.
Don't be afraid to do a mash-up of your prints and textures.......

DeleteLike all things fashion, the catwalk does take it to the extreme, but once it hits the high street it filters down to something more wearable.......I hope! p.s. sorry to make you choke!! Helen xx
The practical me loves the Normcore....I'm with you on that but the fantasy me would go with the Saint Laurent Metallica....I particularly love the grey coat over the sparkly dress and long boots, that look is amazing!! Fab post xx
ReplyDeleteI love the Saint Laurent girls too, but I reckon it's a look that you could do on a budget, maybe even some vintage shopping could get this look for a few pounds........hey let's get Sharon from Thrift My Style on the case!! Xx
DeleteOoh where to start Helen....naturally I'm loving all the leopard print & also the thought of wrapping up in lots of faux fur & don't even get me started on the greys & 'Normcore'. All gorgeous....autumn here we come!!!!

Love the Burberry Cape/poncho thingy. I think the fur and winter boho are my favourite trends. Looking forward to the high street alternatives x
ReplyDeleteI feel like I've been to a fashion show Helen! Love all that grey stuff (need no excuse to wear grey!) and all those lovely sparkly dresses with boots at the end - love that look! xx
