The Fall/Winter 2019 runways are a mixed bag of colours, textures and

subcultures. Here’s our guide to keeping up with this season’s trends

Words Pameyla Cambe

SpikeS and Spunk

Like dominatrixes, punks are fond of their leather jackets and chains too. Their rebellious spirit was felt

across the runway shows of Louis Vuitton and Marine Serre. Houndstooth was a key fabric at Gucci

and Celine; over at Dior, models sported tartan as a nod to Teddy girls, punk’s precursors.

Rainbow ViSion

There was also the other end of the spectrum: brands went full Technicolour, with orange being a particularly popular shade. Even the

Fendi show, the first since Karl Lagerfeld’s passing, had splashes of yellow and pink. Jacquemus and Versace both made the case for

(tasteful) polychromatic ensembles, but you can also inject colour through two of Fall 2019’s top accessories: tights and long gloves.
