The UK weather has got less warmer, the days are seeming shorter and an additional schedule of international fashion house shows has swept the world’s style and fashion cities, from glitzy New York to trend setting London. Yup, Winter is absolutely here, and like usual, we have our trend seeking fingers on the proverbial pulse of fashion’s beating heart. With our array of British and global clothing designers ranging from the spectacular iconic designer fashion houses (Lanvin, Balenciaga) to the coolest names (Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney) to the newest ones to watch (Christopher Kane, Erdem), it’s no big surprise fashion’s elite forever tell people that they don’t shop anywhere other than Matches!This Winter season fashion is boldly beautiful, and we are in love with some of autumn’s breathtaking statement-making trends. Christopher Kane’s fiercely cool animal printed tees have been snapped up by the must have fashion pack, gracing front rows and the hottest fashion pages of magazines alike. They are the undeniable partner to another key catwalk trend at the moment – leggings – that’s right, this is the perfect opportunity to flash those limbs, and Freda, Sykes and of course Les Chiffoniers have all designed some very sexy, fabulous pairs. For the fashion seeker in you, there are thigh-high boots – these thigh huggers are the must have look of the Winter season; fashion queen Stella McCartney’s version are black, amazing, and utterly show-stopping. These bold McCartney boots look set to stay around, and we could not be happier; the McCartney boots are a lovely way to give even the most toned down outfit a twinkling hit of on-trend glamour.
