fall/winter clothing
I'm 99% certain the "F/W" bit is referring to "Fall/Winter" (being from the UK, I'm more used to seeing A/W for "Autumn/Winter", but F/W isn't uncommon!), and this fits neatly with the timeline of "from September"
Example sentence:
The Prada Fall/Winter 2020 collection is a consideration of the strength of women [...]
Grazia'lliani - The F/W Clothing Collection.

A/W style OR F/W styles
"F/W" most likely means "Fall/Winter". If you need UK EN then "A/W" works for autumn/winter or you can leave it as "F/W" for US EN.
"styles" is quite a common term in the fashion industry to mean individual items of clothing.
