Next Season: Military at Prada

Prada AW 2016/ 17.


The summer season of this year was clearly about Gucci and it's quirky, vintage, boho style. But what will we be seeing next season. 

With it's old english heritage/ military feel another Italian fashion house could steal the spotlight again and become everyones coveted collection. In Autumn to Winter this year, expect it to be all about Prada.

Prada AW 16/ 17.

The collection displays many military inspired overcoats, which will be a notable trend next season. Stockings were also a bit statement, so will we see more patterned and out there stockings? 

Sailor hats, laced waist sinchers and key motifs. 

Sailor hats were worn, with other accessories including laced up waist belts and statement handbags. A key motif to be running through many of the accessories was a key. Keys can be seen on bag charms and hanging from the statement necklaces worn. 

Military coats, and statement stockings.

LFW: Burberry AW16

Designer Focus: London Fashion Week – Burberry

Burberry showed their Autumn /Winter collection on Monday, and it undoubtedly steals the show.

As arguably one of the most anticipated shows of London Fashion Week, the show obviously had an A-list studded front row. Stars including Rosie Huntington-Whitley, Naomi Campbell, Suki Waterhouse and Alexa Chung were in attendance, kicking off the show with an entrance alongside other stars on the Burberry red carpet.


Of course the show was held within the grounds of Kensington Gardens, however the runway has begun to veer in a more curved fashion, with models striding around the crowd. A different set up to previous shows at Burberry.

As for this seasons performer, Jake Bugg was nestled amongst the crowd to play accompaniment to the collection, which had a very retro, mod feel to it, therefore Jake Bugg was the perfect choice to play.

Creative director, Christopher Bailey, said that it was “not a themed show, but all the things that I love, It’s a patchwork of different things – from Mitford sisters to military to glam rock.”

Amongst the collection there was a number of military style overcoats with either red or gold piping, sequined dresses with huge flowery prints, lots of khaki parkas and more overcoats, but in large check either a sort of burgundy colour or khaki.


As for the accessories, shoes where either in a shoe/boot style, plat formed, topped off with tassels, of studded biker style boots.  Bags were very statement, as following on from a popular trend seen back at New York Fashion Week, with belt style handles or shoulder straps, that were often matched up with belts worn over the top of trench coats.
