Ross Horton of Maysons in Bedford’s Arcade explains why he’s looking forward to an exciting range of Autumn & Winter fashion in Bedford.

Any new brands for this season?Our brand portfolio is currently the strongest it’s ever been. Gabicci Vintage and Hugo Boss are both new additions offering a tailored, smarter edge to menswear. Rather than trial smaller brands we are looking to invest more in the whole range of established clothing lines. The likes of Barbour, Ralph Lauren, Stone Island and Diesel offer a great collection this season. What are the key trends going to be for this season?Just as it was last season, chunky knitwear will be very prominent. Diesel, D&G and Ralph Lauren are paying particular attention to this area, with some excellent shawl collar and argyle offerings. Barbour quilted jackets show no sign of slowing down, with the nylon ‘International’ jacket being a candidate for this seasons must have. Gilets are coming back in too, with great examples from Ralph Lauren, Fred Perry Laurel and Stone Island. What are you personally most excited for this autumn/winter?This is by far my favourite season. Cardigans, hats, scarfs, and big jackets. There is something about layers during the winter that makes this job so enjoyable for me.

Personally, I’m excited about the Barbour collection and may have to add the’international’ to my repertoire. Diesel offer some of the best knitwear this season, and I have my eye on a certain shawl collar piece.

I’m also excited about their new turbo denim range, that changes, fades and stresses depending on the wearer. The cuts are great, so that’s one to keep an eye out for.

NEW MOD

New Mod is an updated and feminine take on the rebellious dressing of the teddyboys of

the 1960s. Modern twists elevate sleek tailoring and clean shapes; slim cigarette trousers in an opulent sapphire jacquard are the essential ankle skimming length and a simple t-shirt shape comes in panels of monochrome silk. Be prepared for the unexpected as hybrid garments become key; a royal blue wool crombie has soft black leather sleeves whilst the classic sweatshirt is luxurious with faux fur sleeves. Prints are bold with polka dots and window pane checks splashed across chiffons and silks whilst colour blocking features in ‘dad’ sweaters with the occasional punky motif. A much more hourglass silhouette takes over from that of the boyish with semi body-con dresses celebrating the waist and skirts predominantly in pencil or mid-calf length.

PRIM & POLISHED

Mixing elements of the laid-back 60s with a neater finish from the 40s post-war Britain, Prim & Polished is an eclectic dressing-up box of girly vintage-inspired pieces. Dresses are ladylike in pretty florals and ditsy prints, appearing in a classic tea dress or drop waist shift shape and look newest in mid-calf length. Again, skirts are longer in length, are sometimes pleated or with side slits and look prim when worn with feminine peter pan blouses buttoned to the neck. Pretty detailing such as petal cut-outs around the neckline, lace inserts and contrasting panelling create interest whilst elegant beading on dainty pouch handbags finishes off the look. Colour is important; tapered trousers come in jade or tangerine and bright prints appear throughout, whilst the overall silhouette is soft and feminine.

GLAM UNDERGROUND

Glam underground draws inspiration from the 1970s, dismissing any grunge from the decade for an all-out glamorous and rockstar look. Faux fur is key to this trend and the bigger and brighter the better; an oversized shaggy coat made from goat hair comes in a fluoro pink, a sleek faux-fur stole in deep amethyst has extravagant pompoms

and a mini skirt is made from amber-coloured feathers. Casual garments are given luxe treatment; a simple black parka is indulgent with a thick glossy black faux fur lining, skinny jeans are given a hi-tech coating and boxy silk shirts are elevated with all-over beading. Footwear and accessories are flamboyant with stack-heeled ankle boots covered in silver glitter and oxblood velvet clutch bags with gold jacquard panels. Emeralds and magentas interspersed with shimmering gold and silvers make up a jewellery-box colour palette. BAVARIA

With rich folkloric inspiration being key, Bavaria is a modern and distinctly luxurious take on keeping warm this winter. Outerwear is functional whilst indulgent; a khaki parka has faux fur sleeves and a gilet is extra long and made from patchwork sheepskin. Cable and aran knits are chunky and oversized to defend against the cold, and a usually floaty smock dress or blouse comes in a cosy heavy velvet. Handcrafted touches add texture and appear throughout with detailed embroidery on yokes and opulent beadwork on accessories.
