All signs point to autumn: the color palette is getting darker and coats are coming back out of the closet. Our fashion trends of the month show that this is no reason to be sad.
Trend
In V-shape
No matter how often some people describe the eighties as a decade full of fashion sins – they stubbornly keep coming back. So it can’t have been so bad after all, what the designers back then came up with. Strong shoulders were seen on all kinds of catwalks this season, from softly hinted and suitable for everyday wear to oversized V-silhouettes. It’s refreshing that you don’t always have to aim for an hourglass figure. Those who have always preferred to fight for space with over-the-shoulders are now even more on trend.
New Collection
Autumn palette
Lovers of Hermès will get their money’s worth twice during the fashion weeks. The French brand not only shows in its home city of Paris, but also presents a second chapter of the latest collection in Shanghai. The fall/winter collection was presented with a view of the North Bund Bay. Even though the looks were shown back in June, they immediately evoke feelings of fall. Warm orange tones melt into red and brown, leather and silk scarves make us look forward to cooler times.

It-Piece
Buckled up?
Clothing shapes and is malleable. That sounds more philosophical than it is. We are referring in particular to the ever-widening waist belts that you see everywhere at the moment. Belts exist not only to hold pants in place, but also to give the thickest cardigan and the coat that is three sizes too wide an exciting shape.
We Love
Delicacy
Whether it’s summer or winter, very few people get to see our underwear – in most cases. But we believe that it doesn’t matter what you wear underneath. The selection of beautiful underwear at Chantelle is too tempting. For the fall season, the French label is focusing on pink and purple in addition to classic black. Even more exciting than the choice of colors are the details. Lacing, lace, surprisingly transparent areas – you have to look elsewhere for boring underwear.

Season’s Change
Between the summer sandal and the winter boot lies the so-called transition period. This can last quite a long time in our latitudes. So you have to be equipped with the right footwear. If we had to choose one type of footwear as the perfect fall shoe, it would be the loafer. They are neither too warm nor too cold and are easy to style. The loafer is in the DNA of the G.H. Bass label, which was founded in 1876. Over the past 149 years, there has been enough time to develop them further, which is reflected in the extensive range. Whether with heels, patterns, colorful or black – there is a loafer for every preference.

Unfuck the World
Good stuff
The cliché that sustainable fashion is often bland and colorless is no accident. Unfortunately, dyeing can be just as harmful to the environment as a fat car running on fossil fuel. Synthetic dyes are full of plastic and harmful chemicals. That’s why the British company Sparxell produces biodegradable dyes that are free of plastic and toxic chemicals and are based on plant cellulose. The automotive industry as well as the cosmetics industry make use of them. British designer Patrick McDowell is the first fashion designer to integrate Sparxell into his sustainable luxury designs. A couture dress and a shirt make the start. And suddenly we are convinced that sometimes you can have it all and look forward to a fashion future that is both colorful and sustainable.

Campaign
Rulebreakers
It’s never a bad thing to go for famous faces if you want to get the attention of potential customers. But that’s certainly not the main reason why Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss and co. wrapped themselves in the fall/winter collection for Versace. We rather think that Donatella was in the mood for a family reunion – after all, the handful of iconic models who bring the campaign to life have long been part of the equally iconic designer’s extended family circle. They also embody the motto Donatella preaches: “Be yourself, believe in yourself and break the rules.” When you wear a Versace look, nobody takes the rules too seriously – you are too focused on the wild cuts and patterns.
