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.

PUMA introduces Urban Mobility, a new venture into the premium accessories category, an entry into a brand new market segment.
Adapted from the Urban Mobility Small Cargo Bag, the Urban Mobility Edition Bag takes its inspiration from industrial design and is a first move into the luxury accessories market for PUMA.
To celebrate the launch of the bag, PUMA and Ryan McGinley teamed up with the Serpentine Gallery to create a short film to set the mood and feeling of the PUMA Urban Mobility Collection.
The film focuses on the celebration of movement and freedom.
McGinley directs his subjects, friends & models alike, in a cinema vérité mode thus creating a fantasy world of color, visuals and music.
The film features the Urban Mobility Edition Bag and PUMA 8-Speed Urban Mobility Bike.
A nude couple are riding the bikes carrying the bags and lead the viewer on a journey of innocence and freedom.

Alternatives Gallery is pleased to present a key event in the field of contemporary jewellery, the exhibition entitled "Non tutto è oro ciò che luccica", meaning All that glitters is not gold.
9 ex students from two prestigious schools, the Academy of Fine Arts in Nurnberg and the contemporary jewellery school Alchimia in Florence, will show their latest works from 19th May to 23rd June 2007.
Their work is the result of research in the field of experimental jewellery that started while studying in their respective schools.
Today, more than ever, value is determined by an equilibrium between form and content, between innovation and experimentation and by the ability to reinterpret jewellery that is a symbol of the past, in a new means of communication.
Just as alchemists once tried to reproduce gold, today's alchemist is in search of an idea capable of shining its own light.
This exhibition was organized in cooperation with "Forum für Angewandte Kunst Nürnberg e.V." and shown in Nurnberg in 2006.
