Wrap Up Well with Fashion for Autumn 2009

The London weather has cooled, the days are seeming not as long and another whirlwind of international fashion house shows has landed down on the world’s style capital cities, from glitzy New York to urban London. Yes, Autumn is absolutely here, and like usual, we have our fingers on the proverbial pulse of designer fashion’s beating heart. With our variety of British and international clothing designers ranging from the best iconic fashion houses (Lanvin, Balenciaga) to the edgiest names (Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney) to the red-hot ones to keep an eye on (Christopher Kane, Erdem), it is no surprise fashion’s elite usually tell admirers that they don’t buy designer clothes anywhere other than Matches!This season designer fashion is boldly beautiful, and we are obsessed with some of autumn’s great statement-making trends. Christopher Kane’s fiercely cool animal printed tees have been grabbed by the designer clothes pack, gracing front rows and the fashion pages of magazines alike. The t shirts are the undeniable partner to another key trend at the moment – leggings – yip, this is the season to flash those long limbs, and Freda, Sykes and of course Les Chiffoniers have all designed some very sexy, terrific pairs. For the fashion seeker in you, there are thigh-high boots – these thigh huggers are the must have look of the Winter season; beloved fashion designer Stella McCartney’s version are black, amazing, and utterly show-stopping. These bold black leather boots look set to stay around, and we couldn’t be happier; they are a wonderful way to give even the simplest outfit a twinkling dose of on-trend glamour.Now, this is definitely the season to put your shoulders forward! Bulky, shoulder pads are making a jaw dropping comeback – wonderfully wearable, this is an extraordinarily flattering trend this time around, and we are in love with Julien McDonald’s strikingly beautiful sharp-shouldered dresses. Discover the latest Balenciaga fashion for this season.We say bring on the freezing mornings and rainy afternoons…the UK weather may get sub zero but with such fashion forward tops to wear this Winter season, we will make sure you look hotter than in August.
