Whilst amid the frosty alps in New Zealand I decided it was time to approach the Autumn/Winter collections. It is a most painful thing in sunny July looking at our future winter selection, not as bad on the other side of the world in the bitter cold.
The New Refined looks fabulous on Karly Kloss, but anything would on that fresh faced 17 year old. She can wear a tweed circle skirt with a belted Aran Knit sweater and kitten heels with socks and look like she's stepped out of the pages of 'A Secret History' whereas I fear the same on me would give me the appearance of a Nun not wearing her habit.
The minimalist look is one that I'm sure will pass me by, the stark, clean business like feel of the clothes seems, dare I say it? Too old for me?! I'm a lot more comfortable with the 50's style calf skimming circle skirts and wasp waisted dresses. I was also very delighted with the new trouser shape, high waisted 70's wide leg in gorgeous autumnal shades. Flattering, warm and comfortable - all too good to be true. Actually, I think that last statement has just made me old enough to be sporting the 'minimal' look. Whoops.
One thing is sure, whatever you choose to wear this Autumn/Winter be sure to cinch with a skinny belt. If you're very clever you'll learn 'The Vogue Knot' use a longer belt, buckle, twist and knot. I'm still practicing...
