Don’t look so surprised, fashion labels have already put the finishing touches to their Christmas 2010 collections and high street stores will be taking delivery of their autumn stock in the next few weeks.
The industry’s best stylists, including Gabrielle Teare, are reporting back from the catwalks and early indications point towards a very interesting AW season!
Aside from the usual autumnal colours of browns and blacks, this forthcoming festive season is likely to see a plethora of sumptuous, almost Gothic revival, with velvet and lace making a huge comeback. Reds and purples are set to become as popular as that LBD, with capes and ruffles a principal feature of this look.
Forget Marilyn Manson though, this nod to the gothic genre is seriously top end luxury. Just check this out!
How beautiful is this creation from Antonio Beradi? Sheer elegance.
Of course, most of us won’t be able to stretch our purse strings to buy one of Beradi’s stunning outfits without them pinging back and slapping us in the face (as no doubt would the bank manager). However, you can bet that manufacturers’ machines have been furiously sewing away over the last few months, and we will see some high street interpretations by the end of October.
So – what to wear to accessorise one of these slinky numbers? (Probably a corset in our case!) Assuming that most probably our outfits won’t have these beautiful detailing on the back, a little sophisticated glitter is definitely in order.
Check this out:
You can just see it, can’t you? Snow falling outside, you standing next to an impossibly good looking bloke as you chat next to a roaring log fire, champers in hand, with your low cut velvet gown sweeping around your gorgeous high heels, this fabulous necklace glittering in the candlelight..
Ok, we’re getting carried away a bit here – but you get the picture! This stylish necklace and matching earrings in fuchsia pink is only £14.99 from Seasonsonline.
There were literally gasps around the office when this next one came in.
This crystal heart on cream pearl drop choker set is only £14.99 from Seasonsonline and is ideal when you need a simpler yet still eye catching piece of jewellery to compliment your outfit.
And now we’re off to have a Baileys around the fire – who cares that it’s 20 degrees outside? A girl has to plan her wardrobe well in advance!
