Swoon…..
I’ve written about Austrian designer Lena Hoschek before, and she’s been a big inspiration on my Autumn wardrobe.
Despite the sunshine there’s a definite morning and evening nip in the air, and thoughts start to turn to Autumn knits, where I’ve had my berets stored all Summer, and whether I need a new winter coat (I do, badly). The promotional shots of Lena Hoschek’s Autumn Winter collection are making me long for cooler days.
I love the contrast of sharply tailored coats and jackets with florals and lighter shades in these outfits. A wonderful way of getting more wear out of Summer frocks the rain in early summer got in the way of getting proper outings!
I’m a huge fan of the beret, anyway, but I love the way it’s teamed in these pictures with delicate evening dresses. This is definitely something I might try out if I have anywhere nice to go this Winter (open to invitations, by the way)
I also love how the shapes and styling has a vintage feel, but without becoming a pastiche or fancy dress. I’ve really struggled just picking out a few photos from the collection as it’s all so gorgeous!
The hunt is now on for tailoring and floaty skirts and dresses to team with leather boots and berets.
You can take a look at the whole Autumn Winter Collection or buy it on her online shop, if you’re richer than I am. Sigh.

Oh this is so nice – I love Lena Hoschek, wish I could afford her stuff!x
Wow! I love it all! Especially the first jacket and the second to last dress…and…heck, I can’t chose, it’s like chosing a favourite kid! LOL!!
I wish I was this rich. Alas. But – fab for inspiration 🙂 Bring it on Autumn – I am beret ready! *boom boom*
Wow – I could happily live the rest of my life in this collection! Love your blog btw 🙂
Oh thank you!
I soooo love the fashion here! I am definitely a vintage fashionista, and a soon mum to be. Please please please feature maternity vintage fashion on your next article!

This is some of the prettiest winter wear I have seen in a very long time. The first photo with the jacket and slight sparkle on the skirt is just so feminine. I don’t know which outfit is my favourite, the long coat and dress underneath is also so beautiful but I adore the white lace dress with open back. Ultimately though the penultimate photo with the golden brown dress is just so pretty. Yep, I think I have come to the conclusion that I really want them ALL!
I am with you on this one… tailored shirts and floaty skirts it is for me this winter. I owned a beret once, I have no idea where it is now so I think I may have to invest again.
Love the AW Collection so much. I’d never heard of Lena Hoschek before today, thank you.
