Autumn/Winter 2013 trends

With the summer slowly starting to fade away, what better time to start looking forward to the upcoming Autumn/Winter trends than now? From Gold Luxe and Gatsby Glamour to the reveal of the futuristic look that took the catwalk by storm, we saw some of the world’s most prestigious fashion designers take to global fashion weeks to showcase their highly anticipated Autumn/Winter creations. 

When it comes to accessorising next season’s favourite trends, jewellery and watches are a must. With the essence of the catwalk being incorporated into each individual piece, it is easy to keep up with the latest trends and turn everyday life into your very own catwalk. 

One of my favourite trends seen on the A/W13 catwalks has to be that of the modernistic fashion which included metallics, patent belts and a whole lot of monochrome splashed only occasionally with the earthy hues of green, blue or dusky pink. One of our very own brand designers, Karl Lagerfeld, created a shiny Utopia in his role as Creative director for Chanel, showcasing sleek and futuristic inspired designs. 

The bold patent belt was a regular in the show, and whether it was teamed with a simple shift dress or a geometric black and white coat, this striking accessory definitely made a statement. If, like me, you’ve been swayed by this upcoming trend, why not add a slick watch to your outfit with this Kourbe watch from Karl Lagerfeld. Complete with a rectangular dial and a pyramid studded bracelet, this black ion-plated watch is sure to give your day or evening look an edgy dash of minimalism. 



If jewellery is more your thing, recreate the modernist look with our range of Cerruti jewellery for her. This steel and ceramic bangle complete with facet edge detailing and glittering cubic zirconia is sure to create a distinctive edge. 


Another one of this season’s favourite trends has to be pink. This delicate colour makes for the prettiest addition to your Winter wardrobe. Teamed with soft greys and black, pink creates an instant burst of femininity. From the palest pinks to dusky nude hues, this trend is certain to give us a rosy glow this Autumn/Winter; and what better way to accessorise than with statement yet delicate rose gold

This chic Michael Kors ladies’ watch featuring a rose gold-plated bracelet and oversized Roman numeral markers is the perfect timekeeping accessory for any attire. Although Michael Kors is famed for his statement watches, recently he unveiled his fabulous new jewellery collection. From statement bracelets to crystal embellished earrings, rose gold has been a regular show stopper within this collection, and one of my favourite items from it has to be the friendship bracelet. Complete with rose gold-plated beads interspersed with sparkling crystal and strung together on a brown chord boasting the iconic ‘MK’ logo, this bracelet is perfect for giving your feminine look a high fashion edge.
