What key trends are coming off the runways for Autumn/Winter 2015 you ask? First up, florals go textural with a camo-like feel. We especially like Giambattista Valli’s interpretation inlaid into a graphic scenic design.

With heavy references to the 70s across many collections, it’s not surprising that florals also take on a stylized form much like flocked wallpaper from this era. Mary Katrantzou gives an extra nod to the disco period by adding layers of plastic for a synthetic update.

Meanwhile, patchwork prints mix techniques gathered from around the world, such as batik and block printing, creating a bohemian vibe. Burberry Prorsum takes it one step further with the addition of mirrored embellishments as shown here.

Stay tuned as we report on more trends next week in our following addition.
