October 2017 www.womanthismonth.com FASHION | trends 28 Marvellous metallics were huge on the autumn-winter catwalks, showing across the board from the subtle sheen of delicate embroidery at Tory Burch and matte satins at Paula Ka to the full-on glamour of head-to-toe sequins at Alice and Olivia and space-suited, puffball bonkersness at Comme des Garçons (of which, the less said the better, in our view).
