Let's paint the town red!!

Autumn is here and that means one thing.... RED.

Red is everywhere the runway, the high street and all over the glossy magazines. There is so many shades right not with the transition brights of the vibrant 'rave' red, the classy poppy red and then the autumn chestnut reds. The knitwear is starting to creep in quicker and quicker as the weeks go on as the reds start to fade the dark nights start to draw in and its not even September yet!! I don't know if it's just me but all this winter collection that is starting to creep in, but I am actually starting to look forward to the chunky knitwear, the chestnut palettes and the layering. Red is the transitional colour this year this will take us from summer to the winter collections and then back through to spring so its time to paint the town red as the world of fashion is turning red!!

This is a man's world

Its that time of year again where the flirty florals transform into the masculine outlines of the autumn/winter collections.

Every year the shoulders get broader, the suits become even more manly and the hair and make up become even more androgynous. this year is no exception. Its time to trade in the brogues and chinos from the summer and swap them for the crisp white shirts, the black peg leg trousers and the oversized tuxedos. the hair is cropped and slick back, the make up is dark, cold and dramatic. It is all over the catwalks this year and is stronger than ever.  

Donna Karan has managed to update this 'manly' look with the comeback of the pencil skirt this Autumn/winter with the use of grey instead of black. this look is still strong yet still feminine The collection this year features more feminine features than many of the others yet its still so statement.

The highstreet is evolving rapidly and getting better with every season. This trend dominates the hightreet with the likes of Topshop, Zara and River Island making this catwalk trend ready available on the highstreet.

It's time to become one of the boys!
