Brown Thomas Autumn/Winter

WITH terms such as retro futuristic, couture construction and Gothic girl, the new collection in Brown Thomas for autumn/winter is giving us plenty to think about.
With references to the 1950s right through to the 1980s, there is lots from every era to keep us fashionistas happy all the way till spring.
The box bag and the shoulder chain were leading stories from Alexander McQueen, Valentino and D&G, while the 1970s theme of bucket bags was seen in Alexander Wang and Mulberry.
The mid-calf boot is the leading shape for AW15, featuring on the runways of Chloe, Stella McCartney, Valentino and Isabel Marant, while Mary Janes made a comeback in many forms, from stiletto to block heels.
Again, the love affair with the 1970s continues into shoes, with ditsy floral prints, and round toes in a palette of brown and mustard.
