AUTUMN WINTER 16 DOROTHY PERKINS
DOROTHY PERKINS FOCUSES ON THE ROMANTIC AND SPORTY TRENDS FOR AUTUMN WINTER 2016.
Velvet features predominately throughout the collection, in 90s style slip dresses, jewelled coloured bodies and wide leg dungarees. Ruffles are key for the feminine mood of AW16, featuring across clothing and accessories. Soft blouses in sheer blush fabrics create a romanticised look. Colour is key for the season. Bright suede is matched with bold tones and lace dresses are preppy in bright electric colours. Subtle quilting sits across skirts and bomber jackets. Brocades are metallic and tailored, seen on dresses and two pieces. Denim is updated with embroidery and customisation, with denim jacket shapes being boxy in fit and matched with button front skirts. Luxe sportswear is sleek and cool. Jackets and trousers are given racing stripes, paired with clean camis and white trainers, creating a formal feel to an otherwise casual look. Trainers take centre stage, whether embellished with stars or velvet coated, bringing a hint of retro to the athletic trend. Coats are big and bold for AW16. Super-sized duvet coats in bright colours sit alongside camo print and textured bombers. Military inspired coats in premium fabrics are oversized in length. Retro inspiration underpins both collections. Mix match prints and fabrics nod to the seventies but are modernised with sport tippings and cuts. Ruffles are worn both with classic shapes and sportswear pieces, creating new looks for the season. Ladylike bags with patterned guitar straps create a fun, cool look. Clutch bags are oversized and textured. Velvet features across platform boots and heels. Jacquard prints are a new addition for the season, creating an alternative to the classic autumnal colours.
