Instantly update a casual look with metallic hues as seen on the runways of Jeremy Scott and Zimmerman, for unique look that screams high-fashion. It's clear AW16 days will be brightened up with these colourful metals, say goodbye to gloomy grey days.

It's All About Texture

Mixing your sequin dress with your embellished tinsel coat was no longer a fashion faux-pas at Jeremy Scott this season among many others. Clashing textures will be a key look this year, so don't be afraid to mix your leather with your velvet as more is no longer less.

Take Me To The Disco

Flowing jumpsuits, psychedelic prints and sequins galore took centre stage and it's hard not to love it! Embrace your inner Carrie Bradshaw re-live the most glamorous looks of the 80's in AW16.
