“It was interesting to see brands bringing sexy back, but in a more modern and updated style. We loved the dresses at Khaite, Proenza Schouler, Brandon Maxwell and the wrap details at Burberry and JW Anderson.” 

“We saw some beautifully tailored ready-to-wear pieces from The Row and loved Demna Gvasalia’s oversized tailored coats and exaggerated shoulders at Balenciaga.”

“Exemplified perfectly by Vanguard designer, Christopher John Rogers who produced an exciting collection of dramatic gowns in an array of statement colourways, which our customers will adore.” 

“There were so many great must-have boots which walked down the Autumn Winter 2020 runway and our buy reflects this – we have hundreds of styles launching for fall. From patent leather, second-skin, over-the-knee, western and ‘wellington’, to the ultimate combat boots.” 

“The gold chunky chain is a trend that continues to grow. We loved the oversized earrings at Saint Laurent, as well as the chandelier style at Valentino and Balmain.”
