<span lang="EN-US">The humble biker boot is an underestimated
shoe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has become staple
festival fare - an alternative to wellies, or getting your heels stuck in the
mud - and is often worn with a bare leg and something denim at the top of
it. However, at this time of year – when you can’t rely on the weather forecast
and chancing your Opening Ceremony sandals seems like crazy talk (no one wants
to be that person in fluorescent sandals in cold autumn rain) - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the biker is the perfect boot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">You can wear it with anything from
skinnies, to minis, tights, stockings, boucle, brocade and mad prints and it
can be dressed up or down for many occasions, even fashion week (see Poppy
Delevingne at the A/W 12 shows wearing hers with sequins).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus, it doesn’t feel like a proper
winter boot so you can pretend Christmas isn’t only 104 days away and get your
pins out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Biker boots tend to be
leather, so they’re hardwearing and warm, and you don’t have to sell your puppy
to get some either, even if you go designer.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">For those of us who find the idea of the
end of summer hard to tolerate New York Fashion Week always comes at the most
perfect time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only is there
the excitement of the event, the peekaboo tweeted backstage photos, and the
inevitable party gossip, but you can also immerse yourself in the looks for
spring/summer next year and focus on short shorts and sleeveless shifts, even
as the grey autumn clouds gather overhead in London. At Glass Pineapple we're
always on the hunt for new unknown designers and brands. We get ridiculously
excited about breakthrough names and we love a fashion revelation. But we're
also stuck on our old loves - designers we have adored for years and those that
have just keep pushing the boundaries with each new collection. This year, our
hungry devouring of NYFW has been no different - here are a few of our highlights
so far: </span></div>

bustier with a cream draped chiffon skirt. There was leather and lace, tailored
organza and braces worn like S&M harnesses, with elbow length gloves that

odd peplum, high waisted shorts and a darker, more sinister take on
florals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Short, side swept sleek

were candy stripes and shirt dresses with cute collars and cuffs. Antonoff’s collection was partially inspired by Brenda Patimkin a character
from Philip Roth’s book, Goodbye, Columbus. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“She’s like a country club girl, but she doesn’t give a sh*t.”

For the inaugural Glass Pineapple blog
we’ve decided to go with a centuries old fabric that’s making serious comeback
for autumn this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brocade put
in an appearance on numerous A/W 2012-13 catwalks, from Erdem to Balmain,
Stella McCartney to Jonathan Saunders, being stitched into circle skirts,
cropped trousers, pencil skirts, bodycon dresses and clutches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Stick a pin in a list of top designers or
high street stores this season and you will find a brocade piece somewhere in
their latest offerings – either forming the fabric for the entire piece or as a
detail or trim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can use
brocade to bring some glamour that works both day and night – add a tailored
brocade jacket to a pair of jeans for a tougher way to wear this feminine fabric,
pick some metallic brocade courts to liven up your office outfit, go for a shimmering
brocade skirt and a soft cashmere jumper to nail the luxe look, or go all out
in head to toe brocade in a trophy trouser suit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’re looking to join the brocade brigade, here are our
Glass Pineapple faves:</span></div>
