AW'12 At Matches
AW'12 Taster Trend Report:
Matches Fashion
Karlie Kloss from Ellie Saab AW'12 RTW |
From time to time, I enjoy a little online window shopping on websites known for stocking luxury designer items. So, when my August edition of Vogue came through the post this morning, I felt inspired to create a little Winter wish list over at Matches fashion.
For AW'12 at Matches Fashion, you will have a numerous choice of trends to adopt: from winter floral bloom, to oversized...well, everything really. In between you'll have the options of eye-popping opticals, head-to-toe black leather, grand opulence, luxurious layering, purple garments and makeup, elegant waist silhouettes, oriental influences, English country-woman, fur, fur and more fur. Accessories standing out from the AW'12 shows back in February were oversized handbags, leather gloves (short biker styles, as well as elbow length), waist belts with bows, buttons, decorative claps and hidden fastenings, statement, decorative heels and knee/thigh high boots.
Each of the following garments shown are currently available over at matchesfashion.com. Just click on the 'Just In' section and shop till you - figuratively speaking, of course - drop!
1. Charlotte Olympia: Ava floral print pumps - £515
2. Alexander McQueen: Exploding tulip-print chiffon cape - £560
3. Alexander McQueen: Victorian puckering jacquard dress - £885
4. Lisa Marie for Peter Pilotto: Carnation-print scarf - £275
The great thing about items 2, 3 & 4 is that they can also lend themselves to the Oriental trend for AW'12 too!
