Back to school

Part rocker, part vintage-inspired, kids going back to school this autumn will be able to choose between comfy oversize clothes, velvet or denim trousers and blazers, jacquard sweaters, printed or decorated t-shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts, fur trimmed parkas and quilted jackets, perfect for mountain holidays as well.

And this same style also inspires the fall/winter footwear collections, where some of the detailing to be found on trekking models is transposed onto city shoes.

So, sharing the stage with the ubiquitous, ever-popular sneaker, we also have sturdy unisex hiking and walking shoes and desert boots, made with a combination of antiqued leather and textiles or tech fabrics, often with fur details or laces in contrasting colours. For girls, velvet is the must-have material both for gym shoes and ankle and combat boots, perhaps with the addition of embroidery, bows or a few touches of glitter.
