Five new fashion drops to bookmark for party season

Clinging to that cold glass of rosé, refusing to put on your 40 Denier tights and resolute in the fact that, yes, most things are most definitely better outside - pools, cinemas…people?

Edging towards November, you ignore the (rather innocuous) headlines that summer officially ended last month. Instead, rather than slide into doom and gloom over winter’s blunt arrival we suggest you turn your attention to some rather dazzling new fashion drops this year – just in time for party season.

Soon those long, BBQ-filled day-evenings will be traded in for winter glam cocktail soirees and “festive” themed house parties. I fully immerse myself in the sartorial switchover, often embracing maximal shoulder pads, a lot of sequins and micro-dresses. Because, why not? From Halpern’s Studio 54 redux to the haute high-street collaboration of the year, here’s HUNGER’s pick of the best collections winning in the glamour stakes for AW18…
