Masculine femininity

Female fashion gets mannish. A masculine tailored blazer becomes one of the season�s key pieces. Typical men�s fabrics like tweed enter a woman�s wardrobe in the form of shift dresses and jackets.

Zebra & leopard
Animal prints are still huge. Zebra and leopard prints stand out and dominate the print palette. The characteristic feature of all prints this coming season is that they�re statement - exaggerated and strong.

Capes

Forget about carefully tailored coats. Go free with capes. Designers advise to pair them with elegant shift gowns.
