"I tend to base my favourite Autumn winter outfits around one key piece and then build it out from there. This season it's all about the SRVC cropped trench for me – and not just because it was also snapped on none other than Kylie Jenner. It's impactful yet perfect for layering. I've been wearing it casually over the pieces from the new Adidas x Wales Bonner collection, as collabs go this is one of my favourites! It also looks great over something a little more structured and streamline, whether that be a long pencil skirt from Line by K or rich and elegant evening wear from Maygel Coronel – a brand that we have just added to our collection of new designers on Fabric of Society. I love how their clothing drapes and hugs the body for the most flattering fit."

“Living in New York naturally shapes my autumn-winter style. The city moves fast, and my wardrobe has to keep up. I find myself gravitating toward deep browns and blacks as my foundation, anchoring my looks in earthy, timeless tones. From there, I always add a subtle pop of colour to break the monotony of the colder months. Boots are my go-to this season, practical for the city yet still effortlessly polished. I also love pairing them with high-neck layers that feel both refined and functional. I’m also leaning into rich textures, especially suede bags that bring warmth and softness to any outfit, and of course, balaclavas have become a cold-weather essential for me."

" Oh autumn how I love thee! Give me all the layers and all the textures – this is the season I come into my own. I think dressing for winter, can for some be more daunting, as there's more shapes and generally more clothing needed to make an outfit work. My advice is to not be afraid but to experiment with this. My favourite looks are usually based around a key item - I love a strong boot such as any style from MIISTA, or a bold skirt or jackets – and then the layering comes into play. I like to showcase colour or print through a skirt collar of cuff peeking out and I'll also style multiple pieces of knitwear together, either using an extra fine knit jumper like Dunst's bubblegum pink cardigan tied around my waist or over my coat collar.
