WORDS: MARNI ROSE MCFALL Photographer: Jane Doe 26.01.23

Autumn is officially here. And with it, time for a wardrobe refresh. The brief? Bigger, bolder, louder. High-key, ultra-loud, major energy: for AW23, too much is never enough. Searching for some statement makers to take your wardrobe to the next level? The likes of Vivienne Westwood, Acne Studios and Loewe have you covered with the hardest, hottest statement-making buys in the game. From statement minis to cult denim and new season It bags, this is everything you need to know.

1. THE STATEMENT MINI DRESS

The ultimate party dress for autumn? Allow Acne Studios to show you how it’s done. In an audaciously loud multi-colour print, complete with vibrant neons and faded florals, the dress is cut to an ultra-high, thigh-grazing length. Pair with too-high heels and a shimmering party bag for maximum impact.
