Flip though our fashion pages and take a leaf out of the latest lookbooks to get winter-ready just in time for the chill we await.
In celebration of its 170th anniversary, the Bally AW collection this year features timeless pieces and standout signatures, that give a nod to this fashion house’s fascination for the mountains. The signature colour this season evokes the deep red hues of Peru’s Rainbow Mountain for A/W 2021, recalling a Bally-sponsored expedition to the Andes in 1957. The couturier presents a collection that gives ample choice; allowing the wearer to select statement pieces for everyday exploration of the outdoors, as well as modern designs for cool winter soirees. Each piece of clothing and accessory further demonstrate the fashion house’s mastery as superior leather architects.
With a mix of sports and sharp references, Fred Perry creates the total look with classic wardrobe pieces amplifying the brand’s DNA through styling. The pieces that comprise the season’s collection are created to be layered, and sport dark pastel colours with a youthful boxy fit and contrast taping. Cropped track jackets and hooded sweatshirts echo the style of 90s leisurewear as the oversized fit remains a firm favourite with millenials. The collection also has jackets that give a nod to the legendary Amy Winehouse, reflecting her distinctly nuanced style that makes the collection so unique.
The Tory Burch lineup for Fall/Winter21 screams New York, and is meant to be a reinterpretation of American luxury channeled through the attitude of the Big Apple. The fashion house reinforces the art of layering with its elegant pieces that’ll keep you snug and stylish through the cold months. Accessories and jewellery add dimension to the layers: louche hobos and structured crescent bags, loafers, curved-heel boots and gold or button chokers
Etro’s offering portrays oversize silhouettes with outerwear, cardigans and jumpers in eccentric hues for women. Showing an obvious love for paisley, the collection transports us into an imaginary garden with dream-like and surreal atmospheres where flora and fauna blend harmoniously with the human being, symbolizing a new renaissance.
