Fashion Week highlights: what you'll be wearing next autumn

The top trends from A/W fashion —week  and the trends to expect in a vaccinated world

Some of Paul McLauchlin's Fashion Week faves.

Fashion can easily seem out of touch at the best of times. During a global pandemic, that understanding is more acute. However, the creativity exhibited by designers during the recent autumn/winter 2021 season locates the shopper in this new world.

Ultimately, some of us still want to get dressed, defy the sombre mood, and for others, they want simple wardrobe solutions to contribute to their new normal. The mood this season is varied: some, like industry pioneer Jonathan Anderson, have big plans for the months ahead, while others like The Row and Lemaire are paring things back to simplicity. Meanwhile, the likes of Prada, Molly Goddard, and Erdem are optimistically preparing us for the return to glamour.
