drapers buying guide autumn 2017

We treated you to a first taster of our AW17 look book last week, and now we're here to give you another speak peek. Amongst the pages of Drapers magazine's Autumn 2017 buying guide. Picking out the best of the Autumn Winter 2017 looks, trends and essential styles you need to know about, NAVY's statement tulle dresses are making a feature.


elle lace editorial

ELLE France have taken on the layering up trend to show the shape of things to come this Winter and Spring. We all know that the ruffle trend is all around right now, but stylist Hortense Manga uses these to build up a bolder silhouette, also calling on floaty layers, abstract shapes and voluminous bell sleeves.

A lesson on how to manage the voluminous silhouette trends favoured by many designers this season and incorporate it tastefully into your day to day style.


With Autumn Winter comes the darker months, highlighted even more so by the darkness of Halloween. Adding a gothic twist and influence to all things, including the world of fashion.

Inspired by the season, 'Death Becomes Her (New Orleans)' is a fashion editorial capturing just how black lace layers are the perfect accompaniment for this time of year. Stylist Ali McNally works the witchy black lace with a number of NAVY pieces to capture the depth and darkness of this season.


Gigi goes all out lace for VOGUE Japan. Styled up in the lastest AW16 lace looks from he likes of Gucci, Alexander Wang and Alberta Ferretti too.

Showing how black gothic lace is the best accompaniment to AW16. Sheer layers, bold lace frills, punky accessories plus lashings of attitude to toughen up the looks. Everything this season is about.



Aside from setting the trends for next year, the Spring Summer 2017 fashion shows of last month also set a new trend for the future of the fashion industry. With a number of designers making their SS17 collections available for sale as soon as the last model stepped off the runway.

Looking back on the looks from NYFW, LFW, MFW and PFW, it's easy to see that many of those big trends are continuations of, or evolutions of current styles all around us. Right now, it's so easy to inform your current wardrobe with those key AW16 looks, all whilst looking ahead and investing in styles that will see you right through into SS17 as well.

To help our NAVY girls along, we've picked out a few key items from our current AW16 collection that capture a look from the latest catwalk shows. So get set to invest in some Autumn Winter looks that you will still be rocking throughout Spring 2017 and beyond.



The capital of the UK will soon be buzzing with the shows of Fashion Week SS17. With London Fashion Week beginning on the 16th September, there is still time to finalise those all important looks to see you through the streets of LFW.

Looking for inspiration for your LFW OOTDs? Turn to the latest NYFW street styles for some sweet style ideas. Still hunting for that one killer piece that will pull your whole week's wardrobe together? We've picked out some of the freshest styles from the latest NAVY collection just for you...

Gucci

As the darker season arrives, so does the black. Back in February, we saw so much top to toe black looks delivered on the catwalks of designers the world over. If you are someone who's wardrobe is mainly black, then this is the season for you. If black isn't your go to colour, then look forward to a season of experimenting with this more gothic tone.

But Autumn Winter 2016 sees a different way to wear black - get ready to layer up. With ruffles, lace, sheer textures, winter coats and plenty of pussy bows at your disposal this coming season, it's all to play for. Take a look over some of the top all black looks from the AW16 runways to inspired your all new, all dark wardrobe.


Alternative 'it girl' Soko dons velvet, lace and leather in a clash of textures and attitudes for DAZED's cover story this month. Styled up in Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Simone Rocha and Marc Jacobs, it's a lesson in how to channel your inner punk for the AW16 season.

An editorial that is a lesson in how to grunge up those more delicate features from Summer, such as ruffles, sheer layers and frilly sleeves, as we move into the darker and edgier Autumn season.


 

Whilst we all know that ruffles have been an important trend for the Summer season, these frills are not going anywhere as we move into Autumn Winter 2016. But expect them to be bigger, fuller and more sculptural before.

Moving on from the cold shoulder cut out we've seen over the last few months, AW16 will see our shoulders and sleeves going into excess to make up for it. The silhouette for AW16 has gone big, so expect billowing shoulders and sleeves full of voluminous ruffles and frills.

Whilst in the past ruffles have had a decidedly victorian twist. The new season opens up the way for more a modern interpretation too, with big minimal frills and sensual lace ruffles. But if you are a fan of the darkness AW16 typically brings, not to worry, the gothic yet romantic influence will still be a key look in your Autumn Winter wardrobe.


With a new season, comes new look book campaigns. The release of the Alexander McQueen Autumn Winter 2016 campaign is a real sign of what is to come. Taking the journey up to the highlands of Scotland to film this latest campaign, McQueen have delivered a collection of images that capture the gothic darkness of AW16 in a truly British kind of way.

Alongside the eerily beautiful look book images, an accompanying short film adds to the sprit of the collection. With snippets released on McQueen's Instagram account to tease viewers, we're looking forward to Autumn already.



We have so much love for our NAVY girls that are spread far and wide around the world. And now for our NAVY damen, you can get your hands on the latest NAVY looks oh so easily.

A whole heap of the newest SS16 pieces have just landed on Zalando.de for your pickings.



Taking it dark, Numéro Russia is giving us all the gothic feels and a glimpse at what to expect for Autumn Winter 2016.

Set in an imposing stone church, photographer Francesco Vincenti captures an dark eerie atmosphere, perfect for the darker season. Whilst gothic black lace is always romanticised during the Autumn Winter season, Vincenti's editorial goes to show that white lace can lend itself well to this darker, edgier time of year.


Sheer layers are always popular through the Summer months, and this year more than ever. With major trends for SS16 including ruffles, frills and relaxed romanticism, sheer layers help to add a touch of edge to the season.

Here at NAVY, we know that when planning those all important summer wardrobes and festival looks, sheer is key. We've picked out our top SS16 pieces to add those touches of sheer to see you through the Summer in style.

Erdem

Each Summer, designers deliver a collection full of feminine frills and floaty fabrics, but this year, the designers took it darker. The new romantic take on the current SS16 collections brought us gothic inspired lace designs, striking victorian silhouettes, strong and seductive looks but with a dishevelled aesthetic.

Look to McQueen, Balenciaga, Erdem and Proenza Schouler as just a few leading examples of how to work the lo-fi take on a traditionally romanticised and feminine season. Frills, ruffles and delicate sheer layers are not to be dismissed this Summer as they make up key elements of this trend. But infused with a touch of 60s rock chic attitude to add some edge.



June has arrived and we're excited for our top UK & European festivals to begin, with Primavera kicking off it all off this coming weekend. Festival season is officially upon us. So you know what that means - it is time to get our festival wardrobes in shape.

Slip dresses are all around the Summer, but the Olivia slip dress does it in her own way. It's relaxed voluminous silhouette will see you floating through the fields of Summer festivals in chic style, all season long.



Bella Hadid channels Ziggy Stardust in this punked up editorial for Harper's Bazaar Korea. Combining the current influence of 1970s glam rock on fashion trends with the world-wide tributes to the one and only David Bowie. Photographer Nick Hudson captures an editorial that is contemporary in so many ways. Hadid's choppy and bold hair is teamed with androgynous make up and sees her styled in delicate lace dresses.


Coachella is on the horizon. If you are heading to the world famous Californian festival, do you have your wardrobe sorted? There is still time to grab those Coachella perfect pieces to keep your style on top form at this fashion forward festival.

Not lucky enough to be attending this year? Not to worry. Look to Coachella for inspiration on what will be the best festival styles to see you through the Summer. To get you going, we've picked out top three NAVY pieces that have written all over them Coachella!


 Alexander McQueen

Moving on from runways of NYFW, last week saw us jump into the world of London Fashion Week. And it didn't disappoint. From McQueen's floaty lace layers, to Erderm's clashing sheer textures, to Simone Rocha's grunged up sheer silhouettes. Take a look over our highlights of what is to come this Autumn Winter 2016 season.

New year. New wardrobe. New you.
