AUTUMN/WINTER 17 TRENDS

KEY POINTS

Timeless pieces evolve or reappear in cycles: this season, the key is to build in longevity with subtle retro references and simple detail which lets fabric, colour or pattern speak.

Humble workwear items are elevated to luxe status: the blurring of boundaries moves them away from their original end use, while traditional nightwear becomes daywear with a sense of drama.

Utility and functionality are at the fore for this season: the focus is on ergonomic pockets, adjustable fastenings and details.

Comfort is the new luxury: tactile pile fabrics, luxurious yarns, natural skins and new relaxed fits help create covetable items that combine practicality and wearability with a strong premium angle.
