Leather re-emerges for Fall-Winter 2015-2016

Leather has always been associated with rock music, particularly in the form of the iconic leather jacket, and it has never really left women's wardrobes in ready-to-wear and accessories. This comeback is also due to the strong 1970s trend which could still be seen on the catwalks in the Fall-Winter 2015-2016 collections.

The competition watchdog has not named any of the agencies under investigation.
