9 layered and tactile pieces to give you all the feels

Kim Wilson

Texture takes centre stage this season, inviting a more tactile approach to autumn dressing. From plush faux fur and featherlight accents to intricate embellishment and hand-finished details, each piece tells a story of considered design. These are clothes and accessories to be felt as much as seen, layered and expressive. Rich surfaces and artisanal touches elevate everyday silhouettes, creating depth without excess. Whether through soft volume, sculptural ruching or high-shine crystal, this edit celebrates fashion that engages the senses – where touch, texture and technique come together in a refined, yet deeply expressive, wardrobe.
