WITCHERY AUTUMN/WINTER 2008
 
 
This season is about strength: a strong sense of self, with a touch of rebellion. The look is confident glamour, with a dark edge.
 
At Witchery, the wearer has the opportunity to explore all facets of her personality: romantic or androgynous, classic or up-to-the-minute. Witchery takes the pulse of the current fashion trends and interprets them in our unique, elegant way, with a street edge, focused on cut and proportion.
 
You'll find hard-edged, sexy pieces like deliciously soft leather biker jackets, dramatic coats, from strict military tailoring to loose pea coat shapes - luxuriously chunky knits and flowing, volume dresses that capture the breeze. Winter dressing is tactile, mixing leather, shine and satin, silk and soft yarns for a hard-soft effect, adding sophisticated depth to the collection.
 
Winter colour is strong yet subtle. Black returns, in a nod to sleek 80's style, accented with chain and stud details. Layer a rich palette of greys from darkest charcoal, through anthracite and pewter, to softest smoke. 40's femme looks emerge, mixing sexy postwar 40's silhouettes with military inspired jackets - separates can be dressed up or down for confident self-expression.
 
Strong accessories are key this season. We see the arrival of gloves as a serious style statement. In luxury leather, sleek satin and tough gauntlet styles, gloves add an edge of retro haute couture. Heels mean business and boots add a tough-chic edge to swirling dresses and skirts. Belts pull the look together: from the slimmest sliver of patent leather to wide styles to cinch in a coat. Put the fun back into dressing up: gorgeous quilted leathers, heavy metal hardware and high texture combinations that add drama to sculptural silhouettes.
 
The Witchery woman understands herself. These are clothes to express inner confidence. Fashion fades; true style lasts forever.
