A world of inspiration awaits on Mount Street. Here, savvy shopper and personal stylist Ginnie Chadwyck-Healey (VCHStyle.com) highlights her favourite style sensations, to be enjoyed now – and for years to come.
Metier Autumn Fashion Edit
Totes amazing….the quietly cool confidence of Metier, and its much admired slower pace in terms of new launches shows the integrity and devotion it has to its existing styles. The styles that work for us long term are the exact pieces that Metier produces season after season. Collections for both men and women will entice, whether it’s a cross body or a weekend bag you have in mind. Enjoy an espresso at the bar and be prepared to fall in love with these butter soft leathers and expertly designed - and much sought after - bags.
Autumn Looks by Simone Rocha
Representing the eclectic but wearable wonder of British Fashion’s most buoyant designers, Simone Rocha is always worth a visit. Looking for a cocktail dress, with puffball detail, lace embellishment and topped off with pearl collars? Visit Simone. Or at the other end of her creativity sit neat knits and crisp shirts, but all with a twist of detail; the signature puffed-sleeve, ribbon-tied bows, lace fringes, pops of gold trim. My vote? Her classic tee shirts, finished off with her bold earring designs; the perfect ear candy.
Autumn Fashion from Erdem
Erdem is not just for big occasions…the secret here is to head downstairs to discover the denim offering, the knitwear and the shirting. With a soft sprinkling of florals, the palette this season ranges from pretty pinks, and classic blues to wonderfully inspiring sunflower yellow, shown here. Mostly, the sizing at Erdem is to be applauded, ranging from UK 6 to 20. Your wish is Erdem’s command. Visit Natalija and her team and experience the wonder of one of British Fashion’s biggest success stories.
Valextra Fashion Trends for Autumn
Bucket bags, tote bags, clutch bags, hand bags - if you are seeking new arm candy with Italian leather at its heart, then head to Valextra. As one of Italy’s oldest luxury leather-goods brands, Valextra remains traditional in its artisanal craftmanship, whilst always moving with the times to remain relevant. A soft palette in classic, versatile tones awaits you. Particularly striking are the new bucket styles, in 2 sizes, with unique numbers that allow the owner to track the place of origin and the talented maker responsible for it.
Autumn Trends by CH Carolina Herrera
The hidden gems are to be found downstairs at CH Carolina Herrera where the Ready To Wear and the shoe collections reside. I love to look for pieces that work in cities the world over and the language of this brand works from London and Paris to New York, Tokyo, Dubai - anywhere. Classic flats, elegant court shoes, feather weight silk shirts, beautifully cut jackets, check fabrics, tartan, plaid - it’s all here and will carry you through Autumn and beyond.
Moynat Autumn Fashion Trends
Colour, colour and more colour. Not to mention hand-painted in store personalisation. With a heritage dating back to 1849, French design house Moynat represents astute knowledge of its creative techniques, of course, but also a willingness to experiment with new styles made only to last. Tamta and her team will guide you through the collection finding pieces that work for you and your lifestyle. The reversible tote was a winner for me, adapting to my wardrobe’s throughout the seasons. If you really want to turn heads, try the Sac Malle; a bold green shoulder bag perfect with your favourite jeans and a crisp white tee, topped off with a camel coat. Let Moynat’s bags do the talking.
Autumn fashion from Jenny Packham
Looking for wow factor? Jenny Packham is Queen of Red Carpet showstoppers and her handling of sparkle, in a way that is simultaneously elegant and dramatic is what puts her in the spotlight for both bridal and eveningwear. These are pieces that need to be tried on, so be sure to book an appointment and settle into an afternoon of transformation. My tip? Allow the friendly staff to guide you to pieces you might not have initially considered. They have an expert understanding on how these dresses look beyond the hanger.
Autumn Trends with Pragnell
A family-run British business, Pragnell combines charming service, a depth of jewellery knowledge within a relaxing setting in which to sample all manner of sparkling sensations. From stylish and stackable 18 carat gold bracelets that work as easily for an 18th birthday present, as a diamond wedding anniversary, to the bountiful Rainbow collection with its exquisite palette, the in-house designs, set against a De Gournay-designed interior, make this one of Mount Street’s most unique offerings.
Fashion Trends this Autumn by Bamford
Known for its values of craftmanship, quiet British luxury and with a clear focus on quality, whether you want beauty gifts or beautiful clothing Bamford is likely to exceed your expectations (and help with that ‘gifts to buy’ list). My favourite pieces are often the knitted tank tops and cotton smock shirts, and I never fail to leave without their Geranium body collection. If you haven’t yet tried the skincare range, I recommend the Vitamin C serum and the Hyaluronic Facial Spritz. In Bamford we trust.
