Now that fashion weeks across the globe are drawing to a sad close, we thought it was time to come back from the fashion future and see what this season will be offering.
There are some great trends floating about this season, some are driven by the sumptuous nod to Royalty making brocade and fancy fabrics a must have for the upcoming party season, while others are that little bit more classic meaning polo necks and leather are back in town.
Unfortunately for some, Marmite trend velvet is back with a vengeance thanks to the likes of Gucci and Ralph Lauren, while plaids and geometrics are great for a more relaxed and playful look.
See the gallery below for our top five A/W 2012 trends.
