Winter pieces to invest in now - Winter White
Continuing on from my previous post, the second key trend from the WGSN Trend Forecasting Seminar for Autumn Winter 2013/2014 is Winter White.
WINTER WHITE
We are seeing white everywhere. It is a trend the High Street stores have picked up on quite quickly, however the average consumer still seems to live in fear of an all white ensemble. As per my previous post on white shoes, white accessories are proving the easiest and fastest way to update your look. WGSN have identified that this shade will dominate our Winter wardrobes for the next two years as fashionistas and their followers lean towards a head to toe white look. The key with for white in Winter is to layer. Similar to my grey post, white needs different tones and textures to break up the look. Wools and knits are paramount to pulling off this look and they look really interesting when mixed with sporty separates and luxe outerwear. Brands on the white band wagon include Nina Ricci, Topman, Mulberry, Maurizio Pecoraro and Thakoon. Not to mention various fashion bloggers sporting the look head to toe out the front of said shows.

WGSN Autumn/Winter 2013/2014 Trend Report - Winter pieces to invest in now
Recently I was lucky enough to attend a WGSN trend forecasting seminar for work. I thought the session was just going to cover eCommerce and industry marketing trends, however I was both surprised and delighted when the second half of the seminar was dedicated to trend forecasting for Winter 2014. This jam packed session covered a number of key trends, leaving me with a detailed shopping list of all the items I should invest in now that will see me through to next year's Winter. Over the next few weeks I will share a number of these trends to help you stock up on the seasons most fashionable multi-season pieces worth investing in.
50 SHADES OF GREY
As seen at the Autumn/Winter 2014 shows for Celine, John Varvatos, Aigner, LFW, Giambattistia Valli, DKNY and Lanvin the trend is to layer different tones of grey. So basically it's grey on grey on grey, head to toe grey. Break the look up by selecting different textures, from wool to jersey to leather to fur. The look should start with a key piece such a coat. From here add a knit sweater, tweed trousers, leather booties and fur bag all in different shades of grey. The look also translates to menswear with accessories also moving away from traditional black and tan to incorporate the grey leather trend.

Please don't let this be a trend for 2014... Resort collections bare all, the midriff is back
I was pouring over the Resort collection images in search of fashion week inspiration and I notice one very disturbing little trend arising... the bare midriff. Popular in the late 90's and early 2000, this trend haunted women worldwide. Why must be put our bellies out in the open for all to see (judge)? Time to cut the sugar and start doing sit ups, these fashion powerhouses make the rules and I fear this trend could soon become a reality.
