Prepare yourself for a storm!

Prepare yourself for a storm!

If you have a few outdoor pursuits on the cards but still want to appear right on trend then look no further that the A/W catwalks for 2010. Think shearling aviator jackets, super high-heeled hiking boots, furry yeti boots, alpine ski sweats and heavy woollen capes. These were exactly the looks both fashion houses Chanel and D&G were sporting on their runways, making the country club seem like the hip thing to join this season! Other designers that have followed suit include Michael Kors; the designer has created a pair of on-trend skyscraper heeled hiking boots, complete with heavy-duty buckles and lace up fastenings. Phillip Lim worked the statement wool cape, which featured over the top pockets and zip detailing. Givenchy Ricardo Tisci worked the chalet look and had models sporting a variety of multi-coloured print knits; such pieces will look great teamed with a pair of winter-ribbed knee-highs from the uber trendy brand Sportsmax. Erdem also showcased his models in the statement cape but created the essential winter piece with a twist and added a variety of embellishments to each item in vivid blues, reds and yellows. Rag & Bone showed us how to really prepare for a snowstorm and showcased an array of heavy long sleeved ski jackets, complete with fur rimmed collars and printed mittens. These were thrown over retro style jumpers and woollen pants. Burberry worked the leather look but added a little fur to mix; you’ll certainly be the coolest girl on the slopes in any one of these numbers.
