28. GOLD IN FASHION By Samantha Murray Greenway Cherry-pick the strongest trends of Autumn, and a golden version is there, leading the way. PAGE ONE: Eighties Revival Marc Jacobs Gold dress with brown leather belt and squares as necklace All the glamour and drama of 1980s style comes wrapped up in the voluminous skirt and cinched waist of this metallic gold Dynasty/disco tribute. Get used to it: the Eighties are a theme that will run and run this winter. PAGE TWO: Velvet Revolution Christopher Kane Gold velvet striped dress with copper striped sleeves A soft alternative to hard-edged Eighties styles, sumptuous velvet gives gold a sumptuous lustre. At Christopher Kane, golden stripes of velvet alternate with sheer organza ribbons; a modern way to wear velvet – forget the balldress. PAGE THREE: The Ultimate Boot Louis Vuitton Long gold boots They are saying that long boots, and we are talking thigh–length, will be this season’s answer to last season’s ubiquitous leggings. Could you find a more arresting version than these golden thigh-skimming platform boots? If you want to make a statement, this is the way to go… PAGE FOUR: The Statement Shoulders Dolce & Gabbana Short gold brocade dress with double peplum They will feature on jackets, on tops, shirts and dresses, too. Whether they are neat and pointy, large and pouffy or sharp and triangular, fashion is putting the focus on shoulders, making waists appear slimmer and silhouette’s more streamlined: what’s not to like?
