This Autumn, prepare to have some fun with fashion. That’s the message from David Jones as the department store reveals what we’ll all be wearing in the upcoming cooler months.
And this year it’s all about everything from “relaxed festival dressing” to “ultra-glamorous Parisian” pieces, according to DJs’ group general manager of apparel, cosmetics, accessories and footwear Colette Garnsey.
Recently, the store sent ambassador Miranda Kerr to Queenstown, New Zealand for a dramatic backdrop to show off its collection.
“We got to see the most beautiful sights while we were there – from mountains to glaciers to stunning lakes,” Kerr said. “But it was a little cold. We were shooting in the mountains and it was actually minus 20 degrees with a wind-chill factor.”
Garnsey identified five major trends for the winter season of 2010.
“There are some fabulous trends this season which I think are a lot of fun,” she said ahead of the collection’s official launch next month.
“There’s a feeling of the ’80s and that’s where the strong shoulder is coming through; we’re seeing the boyfriend jacket with the pushed-up sleeves and body-conscious styling.”
Look for some ’80s-esque pieces by Lisa Ho, Willow and Witchery.
“Another strong look which flows from that is what we’re calling ‘Metro Modern’, with lots of graphic and abstract prints,” Garnsey said.
“Ginger and Smart, Trelise Cooper, Easton Pearson, Zimmermann and Veronica Maine – this is their forte this season: the modern woman.”
Another strong look, she said, was “‘Mademoiselle” and she nominated Saba, Sportscraft and Alannah Hill as the brands best for this trend.
“It’s very much picking up that French city girl look and that’s quite cute,” Garnsey said.
“Breton striped tees in navy and white or black and white are very important – worn with a boyfriend jacket and cropped trousers.
“A more glamorous Parisian look can also be seen in what we’re calling ‘Bourgeois Chic’.
“Dresses here are the key silhouette and it’s quite graphic with a lot of black and white and red.”
Alex Perry, Willow, Collette Dinnigan, Country Road and Lisa Ho all make strong statements with this look.
For those who want something more casual, there’s also the festival trend.
“It’s about relaxed, layered dressing and ’70s hippy styling,” Garnsey said. “This would be the look to incorporate for customers that can’t let go of their boho chic just yet.”
Think checks, skinny or boyfriend jeans and a long cardigan.As to your autumn must-haves, according to Garnsey it’s a black-leather or boyfriend-style jacket, striped Breton T-shirt, leggings, a statement coat and a pair of boots.
