Clarks moves into Autumn Winter 2013 with a variety of styles that reflect the key looks of the season. Influenced by the Edwardian era, the country, the 1990s and the romance of the Scottish Highlands, the range also includes reworked looks from Clarks' extensive archive collection. NEW EDWARDIAN The season begins with a series of classic looks drawn from the dawn of the 20th century. Refined silhouettes are reinvented and complemented with hand-worked detailing, vintage embellishments and artisan flourishes to give a modern feel. Inspired by autumnal hues, a rich colour palette of must-have teals, rich tans and oxbloods complement black staples and complete the heritage-inspired capsule. The collection also comes in a variety of textures and styles including loafers, brogues, wedges and boots. Standout Styles: - Hotel Diva – a modern take on the classic brogue shape updated with a lace-free, sleeker silhouette to take it right into the 21st century
- Alfresco Cafe – a beautifully crafted, heeled loafer with stitchdown construction and on-trend tartan material, created exclusively for Clarks by The Strathmore Woollen Company, Scotland's leading supplier of authentic tartan.
- The following two styles are inspired by Clarks shoes from the early 1900s:
- Lorenzo Ocean – the elegant, sculptural form of this ankle boot harks back to Edwardian era while its wedge heel takes it right into the 21st century
- Azizi Astra – the sleek silhouette and archive-inspired button detailing create an incredibly elegant and feminine pixie style
ACTIVE RETREAT As winter approaches and the season changes, so too does the collection – 1990s grunge and country styles are now embraced. The ‘Grunge' trend is seen in biker styles which have been redressed and reworked with texture, metallic and muted hues, plus a hint of luxe and utility. Country influences see the ‘Americana' trend come to life with Western and equestrian styles, available in a variety of earthy tones. The range includes a mix of ankle, mid-calf and long boots. Standout Styles: - Majorca Disco – the must-have style for creating the ‘Grunge' look
- Moonlit Cool – embracing the Western trend with heritage detailing and equestrian flourishes, this boot wholly encapsulates the ‘Americana' look
HIGHLAND SHIMMER The collection takes on a new direction as it catapults into the party season. Inspired by the extravagance and opulence of Scottish Highland castles and Clarks' very own archive, styles are brought to life using rich brocades, sumptuous velvets and ornate brooch detailing. Purple, teal and navy are juxtaposed with metallics to create a luxurious capsule that's more than worthy of a celebration. Standout Style: Torrin Curtain – a must-have party shoe that's right on trend with its combination of contrasting materials, block colour and metal ankle strap OUTDOOR And finally, a series of technically advanced, multi-purpose outdoor shoes complete the Autumn Winter collection. Functionality has been fused with femininity to create a mix of versatile styles.
