The September Issue: The AW15 Trend Report

September is here mamas! As we wave a bittersweet goodbye to summer, we are looking ahead and finding plenty of reasons to get excited about autumn. We can’t wait to start kicking up leaves in our trusty Chelsea boots, indulging in decadent evenings-in with cosy jumpers, hot chocolate and scented candles, and of course trying out the latest new season trends!

 

 

Good news all – the 70’s obsession is set to continue well into the new season! This versatile trend offers something for everyone with colourful retro prints, iconic wrap dresses and soft bohemian silhouettes bringing out different fashion moods from this seriously stylish decade. We love Burberry Prorsum’s bohemian luxe prints and statement fringed ponchos, while Bottega Veneta displayed some gorgeous retro colour blocked pieces.

 

Work the trend with our stylish retro print maternity dresses.

 

 

It wouldn’t be autumn/winter without a healthy dose of monochrome – and this season is no exception. From stunning op art checks and stripes at Valentino to swirling psychedelic creations in black and white at Emilio Pucci, black & white is well and truly back for the new season.

 

Master monochromes with our Circle Print Maternity Dress or our Geo Print Maternity Wrap Dress.

 

 

We love autumn’s sophisticated new take on neon. The trick is to introduce just a hint of neon to energize an otherwise neutral outfit. J.Crew used neon yellow accent pieces to dress up cream and camel shades, while Kenzo added zingy neon highlights to jazz up their all black outerwear.

 

Our Neon Trim Snood Nursing Jumper is the perfect piece to work the trend; finely knit in soft grey with just a hint of zingy neon yellow trim.

 

 

Your nautical pieces are set to take on a whole new persona this season. Team striped dresses with tights and boots and top off with a leather jacket, or dress up your Breton tops with slim fitting tailored separates a la Filippa K.

 

Sail away with an autumn nautical look – work the trend in our Striped Side Popper Nursing Top or the Striped Maternity & Nursing Dress.

 

 

From glamorous green lurex at Christopher Kane to Sequins at Nina Ricci and a gold statement dress at Michael Kors, this is the season to sparkle! Shine through the party season and dress up your daywear with decadent sparkles – now is the time to unleash your inner bling monster!

 

Add a subtle shimmer to your day wear with our Sparkle Tweed Maternity Jacket, or our Long Line Glitter Nursing Top, and glam up your evening repertoire with a statement sequin cocktail dress.

 

 

Spotted at London Fashion Week: The Trend Report

Designers, celebs, super models & fashionistas from all corners of the globe descended on the UK this week, ready for London Fashion Week 2015! The great British weather did its thing & rained on everybody’s parade, but no amount of rain could put a damper on the incredible style and creative spirit on show.

At such a huge gathering of fashion expertise, trend setters and stylistas, you can be pretty sure of finding Seraphine maternity clothes somewhere in the mix. And it didn’t take us long to spot glamorous model Alice Skewis looking chic in a pair of our Premium Under Bump Maternity Skinny jeans. Alice has modeled for Seraphine in the past and we love her style!

Here at Seraphine we’ve been busy spotting the biggest trends both on and off the catwalks, and are now ready to share our full fashion week trend report. These are the must-have looks that were strutting down the catwalks, sparkling on celebs in the front row, and dominating the street style in the fashion capital this week.

 

Patterned maternity dresses

Taking inspiration from fashion decades past; the designers were loving retro geometric patterns this week. In particular we loved Temperly London’s bold geometric prints, and Jonathan Saunders’ colourful pop art inspired patterns. And of course the street stylistas didn’t disappoint, offering everything from exotic mosaic styles to sharp geometric looks.

Seraphine accessories

Faux fur in every conceivable colour & combination was big news this week. Hannah Weiland’s brand new British faux fur fashion label Shrimps was the brand behind last season’s most coveted coats; and this season she presented her first full fashion collection. Not only that, but Shrimps’ fun-loving faux fur coats ruled London’s street style – with two of Britain’s leading trend setters Alexa Chung & Pixie Geldoff rocking matching leopard print Shrimps coats!

Seraphine Roll Neck Dress

We were obsessed in New York, and the fascination for fashion polo necks has continued into London. Polo necks are having a definite fashion moment right now, with almost every single designer featuring at least one elegant roll neck in their London show. And the celebs and street style fashion moguls were right there with them – at the Top Shop Unique show alone we spotted Alexa Chung, Cara Delevigne, Ellie Goulding & Paloma Faith all sporting stylish polo necks!

It looks like we have some very exciting things ahead for fashion next year… We’ve had a fabulous time style spotting in London, and now it’s time to put what we’ve learnt into practice & start working those trends!
