To round up the end of our What's in Fashion week, rather than discuss one item in particular we thought that we could bring you up to speed with what is emerging and what we can expect in the new autumn/winter collections. It seems that many fashionistas want comfort as well as style these days, so all our favourite designers have been working hard to provide just that for us. So bring out the era of the grunge glamour! The grunge look has only just begun hitting the catwalks, and consists of a modern mix of long silk skirts and slouchy, boyfriend-type jumpers. It really is a fantastic look- much better than the 90's look of overly-long denim skirts and tracksuit tops! This year we will be seeing plenty of truly elegant, over-the-top evening skirts combined with slouchy jumpers in neutral colours. Designer Erdem Moralioglu says that he "loves the casualness of a boyish jumper and a long satin skirt- it strikes the idea glamour/grunge balance and you only need invest in the skirt- the jumper should be an old favourite."
Beautifully baggy trousers will also be extremely stylish this year, combined with old-style knitted cardigans both short and long. The recent discovery of the Trainer Boot will be the shoe to consider wearing with the grunge-look outfits, as they too are a mix of grunge (trainer) and glamour (high-heeled boot). For an excellent day-time look, again slouchy knits will be key along with a pair of skinny jeans, and for the rest of the summer you can get a jump-start if the weather stays decent enough by combining a maxi-dress with a cropped jumper, perhaps with 3/4 length sleeves if it is too warm for anything bigger. This look is going to be huge, whether it takes off now or in the future, but you can easily accomplish this new trend with minimal effort and look absolutely fantastic!
