The UK weather has got cooler, the days are seeming not as long and another group of international fashion house shows has fallen down on the world’s fashion capitals, from fabulous New York to urban London. Yup, October is surely here, and as always, we have our fingers on the proverbial pulse of designer fashion’s thumping heart! With our pick of UK and international fashion designers ranging from the great iconic designer clothes houses (Lanvin, Balenciaga) to the coolest names (Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney) to the newest ones to keep an eye on (Christopher Kane, Erdem), it’s no wonder the UK elite always mention that they don’t buy clothes anywhere other than Matches!This season catwalk fashion is boldly colourful, and we are forever in love with some of autumn’s spectacular statement-making trends. Christopher Kane’s fiercely cool animal printed t shirts have been purchased by the must have designer fashion pack, gracing front rows and the fashion pages of newspapers alike. The animal patterned tees are the loving partner to another key catwalk trend at the moment – leggings – yup, this is the perfect time to flash those legs, and Freda, Sykes and of course Les Chiffoniers have all produced some ultra-sleek, lovely pairs. For the more daring, there are thigh-high boots – these boots are the absolute look of the Autumn season; Stella McCartney’s version are black leather, gorgeous, and utterly drop dead jaw dropping. These bold black leather boots look set to stay around, and we could not be happier; the black leather boots are a brilliant way to give even the blandest outfit an instant hit of on-trend fashion fever.

Bulky, shoulder pads are making a shocking comeback – wonderfully wearable, this is an extraordinarily flattering trend this time around, and we are in love with Julien McDonald’s strikingly fashion forward sharp-shouldered dresses.We say bring on the bitter mornings and blustery afternoons…the British weather may get sub zero but with such fantastic clothes to wear this Winter season, we will make sure you look hotter than ever!
