Dune London has unveiled its Autumn/Winter 2018 (AW18) collection.
Clean silhouettes in white, ivory and scarlet create a fresh and sophisticated look. Classic shapes are complemented with contemporary twists such as ruching, contrasting side stripes and scallop edges. Mid-heel ankle boots, slingback kitten heels and layered flat-form loafers allow versatile autumn dressing.
In contrast, autumn’s prints are bold and impactful, where Prince of Wales heritage checks are mixed with animal print textures including zebra, cheetah, snow and leopards.
Casual profiles continue to evolve for AW18, butter-soft leather snaffle loafers and slip-on mules are introduced in a palette of “sunset red, molten gold, ink navy patent and off-white.” Dark, matte tones feature on androgynous monk-strap brogues and flatform penny loafers. Trainers come with souped-up, high-tech styles featuring chunky stacked cup soles and color-block neoprene uppers.
The mule becomes this season’s hero piece, from satin Cinderella slippers to bejeweled babouche styles, heel heights are variable, making this one of AW18’s most versatile pieces. Heel interest also remains a key feature for the season ahead, from kick-flare kittens to floral sculptured stilettos and baguette-jeweled block heels.
Evening wear pieces feature all-over diamante, bauble cluster embellishment and pearl brooch details. Classic stilettos and platform sandals are dressed in sweet wrapper shades of metallic pinks, holographic greens, purples and gold.
Moving further into winter, a collection of casual boots is introduced, from white western and lace-up Victoriana styles to pearl embellished bikers and clean leather knee highs. A focus on warm, functional winter styling is apparent in the form of heavy-duty, outdoor boots featuring ski-hook lace-up ties, faux fur lining, flat-form treads and oversized buckle hardware.
Heeled boots feature soft suedes and sharp, pointed silhouettes in mid- to thigh-high leg lengths, making every day styles contemporary and wearable.
A color palette of navy, berry, taupe and black are mixed with pops of scarlet red, white and ultraviolet.
Dubai-based Apparel Group, which launched this autumn and winter collection, said in a press release: “Drawing focus once again to beautiful craftsmanship, in-house design and quality textured materials, the AW18 collection offers a myriad of versatile profiles to carry you through the season.”
