Hell For Leather

"The Fabric of the season" say Elle Magazine, and I couldn't agree more. This durable, long-lasting, and versatile material owned the Autumn/Winter runway shows in various forms, all to stunning effect.

Expect belts, bags, gloves, shorts, dresses and skirts this season, not forgetting the most obvious of purchases- the leather jacket. This wardrobe staple returns season to season, and as we head into the winter months there is plenty of choice available from the likes off Swiss, Akris and English favourite Alexander McQueen. Balmain have created my personal favourite as it is a fairly classic garment, yet the broad shoulders add that high-style look.

The leather dress is also set to filter it's way down to the British High Street from the catwalks of designers such as Alberta Feretti, Chanel and Loewe. Loewe's dress in particular has a fascinating homogenous appeal to it.

Still not convinced? The love for leather doesn't end here. An array of garments cropped up throughout London, New York, Paris, and Milan, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for key items when out on the cold and frosty high-street this A/W.
