Following on from a spring full of flirtatious pleats and pintucks, acres of ruffles, and floaty sheers and chiffons, brands have opted for an edgier take for autumn, focusing on more directional looks in a bid to break away from the girlishness of last season. 

As ever with the autumn collections, there was plenty of glitz and glamour for the merrymaking season.
