THE NEW GEEK CHIC
OP ART
This season look to Wes Anderson’s family of eccentric New Yorkers from The Royal Tenenbaums for style pointers. Think shaggy faux-fur coats, 70’s pussybow blouses or flowing floral dresses teamed with tan leather boots.
The most vibrant of the new season trends is the bold, graphic art-inspired mood which hit the catwalks in every monochromatic hue imaginable. Pair checkerboard or houndstooth prints with grey tones and zig-zags.

WILD THING
FLORAL DECAY
The faux fur trend explodes this winter with over-sized yetiinspired coats. But don’t let the cold affect you in the style stakes. If fuzziness isn’t your thing, tap into woodland themes and animal prints to chime in with the wild mood.
When it comes to florals this winter we’re thinking the richer the better! Choose red or yellow hues against moody black and white backgrounds and complement with matching colour-block accessories.
