Andrew Gn, Givenchy and Issa

COLD SHOULDER

Cutaway shoulders are back, but with a bit more attitude, like negligee-inspired tops at Givenchy. Slouchy fits made it instantly feminine (Issa) while sharp slashes made it sporty (Andrew Gn).

GHILLIES

Scottish dance shoes get a fancy do-over as vertiginous heels. See: the dreamy lace-up sandals spotted at Gucci.

Chanel

CROISSANT BUNS

We know we’d pick a croissant over a plain bun anyday. This Princess Leia-esque creation at Chanel Couture was inspired by a Picasso sculpture, and hairstylist Sam McKnight’s #ChanelCroissant tag was catchy as hell.

Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu and Saint Laurent

GRUNGE TIARAS

Worn with a poker face, grunge jacket and slip dress, even a tiara can look edgy. That’s what we learned at Saint Laurent. Take away the diamantes, and it’s futuristic – like at Louis Vuitton.

Emporio Armani and Jeremy Scott

SUNSET HUES

Orange is actually and for real the new black. Every runway from Milan to New Delhi featured some shade on the spectrum. It's best teamed with blush pinks (Emporio Armani) and cool blues (Jeremy Scott).

Victoria Beckham

HALF-MOON

Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs

TROPHY JACKETS

Leather jackets are huge, but not the snooze-fest blacks. Think pop colours, suede patches, tassels and high drama.

Dior and Isabel Marant

HATCHLINGS

Aka baby turtle. It’s not quite a turtleneck. It rises up from the neckline and stops well short of the fold. It was instant ’90s throwback at Isabel Marant, and all ladylike elegance at Dior.
