IT’S A hard one to get our heads around, seeing new season stock appearing on rails already but that’s how things work in the wonderful world of fashion — always working months ahead of the rest of us.
Personally, we’re still quite happy poking around on the For Sale racks for another while yet, in the hope of picking up a bargain (that we most likely don’t need).
But the organised fashionista is already in autumn mode.
She’s created her storyboards, done her research, selected her looks, knows what trends, shapes and colours are hot and is ready to pounce on her purchases.
So we have two choices — hate her and get left behind, or join her. We suggest the latter, at least in the ‘getting organised’ stakes, even if we’re not advocating you buy your winter coat just yet.
And here’s a next season flavour from a|wear to whet your appetite.
