This autumn expect to see the likes of Alexa Chung, Daisy Lowe and Agyness Deyn sporting some tweed which has made a comeback on the the catwalk for Autumn/Winter ’09. From Gucci to Christian Lacroix country tweed gets an urban twist in different shades of grey. Chanel have even gone for light shades of green.

Apart from tweed, there’s also a strong emphasis on big, bold, statement shoulders. Inspired by Christophe Decarnin’s Balmain catwalk for spring/summer 2009, the exaggerated shoulder power dressing look on dresses and jackets is a trend that is continuing into autumn winter. With this look the emphasis is on the top half of the body so the silhouette of the waist down should be short or narrow to maintain a feminine shape. Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney have gone for a more toned down shoulder look.
