A Playful Mix of Styles or Refined Minimalism at HM This Autumn
Retro influences from the latter part of the 20th century continue to inspire fashion trends this autumn.

There's a modern mix of couture, elegant glamour and minimalism.

Classic British tailoring and knitwear form an important base which is updated with a new slant.

Sportswear too incorporates new technical fabrics and features new details and functions.

"The outlines - on the one hand a wider silhouette with more voluminous pieces and on the other sexy, elegant shapes of the 70s - have become established in fashion.

This season we will see new fabrics, details and styling.

90s' minimalism and grunge are key references," says H&M's head of design Margareta van den Bosch.
