collections in Milan.

Stripes, checks, animal motifs, flowers and graphic colour blocks don’t
sound very new as far as patterns are concerned. Yet the interpretations of
these familiar themes received a fresh makeover on Milan’s runways for
fall/winter 2017/18.

Shots of colour flashed on Milan’s runways making the point that there will
be room for optimism next fall. Blues ranged from deep midnight to
brighter, royal tints. Reds were represented in most collections, often

Whether coats, suits, dresses or pants, designers added new twists to
familiar garment silhouettes. Sleeves were a focal point, from only one
sleeve to elongated fluttery sleeves to bulbous romantic sleeves. They
certainly added a new look to blouses, dresses and jackets alike.

It would not be London Fashion Week without designers acknowledging British
heritage classic prints and patterns. There were plenty of tartans,
traditional checks, club stripes, and garden florals, even Fair Isles

As it is often the case, newness in fashion is not about re-inventing basic
silhouettes, but rather it is achieved with exciting new materials and
treatments. London designers, particularly the talent incubator, Central
Saint Martins took full advantage of technical fabric developments and

London fall/winter 2017/18 collections could easily be taken to be “buy
now/wear now” spring designs. (And, indeed, some of them were, notably
Burberry) Designers simply ignored traditional seasonal colour delivery
cut-off dates and continued to show whites and pales for winter with a

Traditional Brit-style checks and plaids never seem to go out of fashion. They always seem to be there, classic, demure and somewhat in the background. Not so going forward! Plaid-clad fashionistas have been spotted everywhere this season, in London, Stockholm, Paris and New York. And judgin

Will fall 2017/18 be a colourful season, or will fashions be dark and
somber? We will attempt to answer that question.
