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.

Marc Jacobs took a brave move with the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer collection, ditching the LV monogram for the first time ever and instead focusing on the design houses’ 124 year old Damier check.
Set against a minimalist escalator filled back drop Jacobs showed off these check with French conceptual artist Daniel Buren’s distinctive stripes to channel a swinging 60s geometric extravaganza.
Bold checks rendered in acid brights, pale grey or stark black and white, appeared on slinky dresses, crop tops, and peddle-pusher trousers giving a nod to the Mary Quant era, while Beehive hair and eyeliner completed the look.
However, Jacobs didn’t rely on the tiny mini skirts and bold prints to gain him acclaim also ordering the most miniature sequins ever produced and adding them to the trademark check to really make it stand out.

Karl Lagerfeld gave a huge nod to green energy and sustainable living with his Spring/Summer 2013 collection for Chanel.
Towering wind turbines formed the backdrop of the show at Paris’ Grand Palais, while the statement Chanel pieces were given what looked like a growth spurt.
Pearls grew to proportionate levels, looking more like gobstoppers and were worn as bracelets and necklaces as well as nestled as hair bobbles in the models’ deliberately messy ponytails, while the statement quilted bag was also accentuated with black leather hula hoop handles.
The traditional Chanel suit, was given a new look with summer colours, while sporty fabrics including lightweight mesh and embossed jersey, alongside transparent PVC and plexiglass completed the renewable energy theme.
Further evidence of this was channelled through tube style dresses and long trousers, while nature’s goodness continued with the introduction of honeycomb bodices and black patent beekeeper hats, which gave a nod to the innocent bee.

Riccardo Tisci kept his designs for Givenchy’s SS 2013 collection, soft, simple and elegant.
Whites, blacks and pale blues formed the colour palate for the range, with ruffles and clean lines giving the collection a romantic look.
Fabrics were kept traditional with silk, satin, jacquard, taffeta and lace, forming the main part of collection and appearing on statement tuxedos teamed with apron tops layered underneath.
There was a mix of black pencil skirts, which Tisci teamed up with billowing organza tops, while tunics over skinny pants once again channelled the classic look.
A simple, yet stylish collection.

Meadham Kirchhoff’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection was titled a “Cautionary Tale”, with the designer duo bringing us once again their unique creations.
Taking inspiration from 50s couture with a Madame de Pompadour theme thrown in, the design house sent models marching down the catwalk in full skirts, corset tops complete with frill cap sleeves and short coats.
Pearls, gauzy golds and white satin bows that adorned the garments added to the look, while gold embroidery and crystals really bought the collection to life.
Add to these elbow-length satin gloves, marabou feathers and heavily patterned fabrics added to, and completed the theme nicely.
See the gallery below for the collection.

We can’t believe how quickly this year’s SS 2013 fashion weeks have come around, and we’re dead excited to see what London has to offer in the very near future.
However, for now we’ll be having a sneaky look at what New York has to offer and first on our list is Carolina Herrera’s Spring/Summer 2013 offerings.
This season the designer decided to go all floaty for the catwalk show.
Models marched down the catwalk in soft ethereal fabrics and shapes, punctured with hits of bold colours such as black, which gave what could have been this very girly collection a fierce edge.
Shift style frocks, classic preppy pleat tennis dresses teamed with structured blazers also made an appearance, while white dominated the colour palate here.
Definitely a day in the park/ simple summer night out collection, which we heart.

With September officially marking the autumn season, we’re gradually fading out our tans and looking at what we can look forward to in the fashion world.
One key item to consider in addition to your wardrobe is of course your barnet, which will make a statement whatever you decide to wear.
Matthew Williamson and Peter Som have this season made the slant parting a huge must have. Wear it neat, sleek and parted on the side to give a nod to the masculine trend.
If you’re planning a night out then look at the Edwardian trend that’s also hot this season, blinging up curls and updos with definition, or take inspiration from the House of Holland and go for a low ponytail for a simple daytime look.
See the gallery below for some of our fave looks.

If you’re looking for that special outfit to brighten up this damp, dull summer then the orange dress may be a perfect option.

The summer is still less than sizzling, but that’s no excuse to neglect all the trends of the season, especially when they are as versatile as the peplum top.
Hot on the Burberry, Chanel, Victoria Beckham and Christian Dior summer 2012 catwalks, this look can be paired with trousers- for that rainy day at the office outfit, or with a shift skirt for a business meeting or smart night out. Team up one of these tops with a dark pair or skinny jeans for a more casual look, or go for cropped trousers and wedges for a night out.
See the gallery below to see how celebrities including Kyle Minogue, Olivia Palermo, Holly Willoughby and Gwen Stefani are wearing these tops.

We heart Chanel and jump at any opportunity to lust after the brand’s iconic designs.
And Karl Largerfeld’s Chanel’s Croisiere 2012/2013 collection, attended by muse Vanessa Paradis, is just as breathtaking as the previous ranges.
Giving a nod to the Victorian era, the collection comprised of structured shoulders, big hats and cute tweed jackets.
Away from this look playful sheer fabrics gave a nod to the brand’s iconic look, whilst little shorts, military jackets and florals bought the collection slap bang into this era.
See our fave pics of the range in the gallery below.
