A/W trend number 1: Forties

The 40's took the catwalks by storm this season, long hemlines and high necklines created an elegant, ladylike look. They were teamed with tweed or old fashioned floral/bird prints in muted colours, mainly: greys, nudes, navy and maroons. With the occasional appearance of peter pan collars and thick, luxurious fur. Finish the look off with big sunglasses and bold lip colours- and a beehive if you dare...

Here are some looks I ripped out from magazines:

Done best at: Miu Miu, Marni, Louis Vuitton, Jonathan Saunders

Here is my favourite 40's look, by Miu Miu:
