The London Fashion Week catwalks have once again given us a whole host of inspiration for Autumn/Winter 2017. From the beautiful details [1] to the big surprises [2], we've brought you all the news straight from the shows, but now it's time to condense it all down and give you a breakdown of the big trends that were prevalent throughout the shows. As you're planning your Winter wardrobe, look out for these five looks, and stay ahead of the crowd when it comes to trends!
Toon Time
From the Pink Panther to Woody Woodpecker, Hello Kitty to Disney's Fantasia, a whole host of animated characters found themselves re-created on dresses, sweatshirts, and skirts. Cartoon motifs are no longer just for kids!
House of Holland
Mary Katrantzou
Ashish

Prim and Proper
Wave goodbye to plunging necklines and sky-high slits. This season's dresses are far more modest. Look for ankle-skimming hemlines, slim bodices, blouson sleeves, and tie necks for the full effect. Pretty fabrics and lacy details stop them from looking too mumsy!

Duvet Days
Quilting has never been more chic. Take this look to the extreme with a chunky coat that looks like you've dragged your duvet straight off the bed, or opt for a more subtle use of the chunky texture in a quilted satin jumpsuit that adds some texture to your evening look.

Hyperblooms
Basic florals just aren't enough this season. If you're going to wear flowers, you need to take them to a new level, injecting texture and shine. From 3D flowers atop sequin dresses, to appliqué on velvet, and even a heavily ruched upholstery floral, these florals break all the rules.

Seeing Red
After multiple seasons of thinking pink, designers are moving towards a more dramatic, powerful hue. Red was everywhere in London, and it was never boring. Patent finishes, sequin shimmers, and tiered silhouettes took this power colour to new levels. Only the brave need apply.
