David Stewart's Fashion Forecast...

Country Life...
	PURITY | COCOONING | NATURAL | INNOCENCE | WARM | TACTILE
	A fresh faced pure style combining warm tactile fabrics with hairstyles reflecting soft, slightly undone directions.
	HAIR
	Hair is light and effortless to offset the fashion trend of rich tweed, velvet and plaid fabrics with movable textures that are easily ruffled by a fresh breeze, and short styles worn in earth tones. Shine is key, with vitality and wellbeing bursting from every follicle, meaning lustrous, touchable hair, with a finish that's naturally radiant and fresh from the countryside.

	Bags - Chic leather duffel, exterior pockets, prominent clasps and straps. Belts - Narrow, traditional, mid-waist, worn over layers. Jewellery - Scarves, bows, neckties, cover-up, bare. Shoes - Traditional, tan leather, attention to detail, visible stitching.

	Perfectly fresh skin, groomed eyebrows, controlled lashes and a slight flush of romance in the cheeks.

	HAIR
	Romantic styles (braids and loose hair dressing) and colours (soft titians and brunettes) given a contemporaru edge - think "attitude ponytails" picked out with daring colour.

	MYSTERIOUS | DANGEROUS | BROODING | ROMANTIC | IRIDESCENT
	Black lace, sheers, leathers and wet look patents worn with crimped hair and coloured wefts deliver a strange yet romantic style.
