Did you catch The Times today? You may have seen us – we had a special 8 page supplement within the fashion section which Hannah Rochell from The Times edited. Check out all the hottest AW12 trends which can be yours at fab prices on BrandAlley.
It’s all about big hair, whether up or down. Channel your inner Brigitte Bardot with that 60’s vibe beehive. You can even see our step by step guide on how to achieve the look – it’s what we’re all doing here at BrandAlley HQ!
It’s not just big hair, but big colours for AW12. Rich and earthy, think bottle green, burgundy red, powder blue and purple for the perfect mix of autumnal hues. Top tip: mix and match the shades or go for block colour to really nail the trend.
Life is a catwalk and we’re always on the lookout for gorgeous street style. But sometimes we want to see how the catwalk looks translate to the street so be sure to check out our section taking designer trends to the street.
It’s all here in our Times pages so flick through to get the looks and find out what’s hot for AW12.
