SCOUT reports on all the latest trends to hit London retailers this month. As winter sets in, product takes on a protective shell
to the elements as soft, tactile fabrications are fundamental. Outerwear has a hairy exterior as brushed, borg, fur and woolen
fabrics envelope the body.
An alternative to the coat comes the blanket coat, seen with a western, Navajo look across men’s, women’s and interiors.
Elsewhere animal is given a wild look this season as exotic & shaggy furs bring newness and animal prints are updated on
fabrications including brushed surfaces and lurex.
We see retailers bring a new twist to “Ath-Leisure” styling a hybrid of sportswear & formalwear. Tailoring is given a playful retro
vibe in pop primary retro colours and with quirky checks & ginghams. Grey continues to be a core colour across the board,
while camel shades are popping up as the new core tone for those who already mastered grey last year.

Jun Takahashi’s cult brand is 25 years old and the punk kid is now part of
the establishment. Takahashi struck out on his own in 1990 while still in
fashion school, fuelled by a love of music and punk style. He was even in a Sex
Pistols cover band in high school and collected vintage Vivienne Westwood
Seditionaries pieces. His experimental but street-smart collections always have
a note of subversion; something unsettling, that has garnered a legion of fans.
Showing in Paris from 2002 helped bring the brand to an international audience.

‘The true origins of textile design and patternmaking‘
It’s not often that fashion and it’s rich history are brought
together without today’s inescapable pop-culture
attachment. However, the newest exhibition at the MET
displays the genuine roots of the industry, with their
extensive collection of textile pattern books.
