Colour Punch
This is the season to be brighter than bright. Blue, orange, green no colour was left not used, and clashing them against each other is no longer a fashion faux pas.
Colour blocking is still on trend, but mixing up seems to be the fashion way forward this spring. Jil Sander was the best at this, keeping everything else minimal, blocks of colour were used with fine tailoring to make the look really stand out. Drew Barrymore has already braved the critics wearing an orange Jil Sander dress, many of which have slated her for it. I on the other hand, believe that she totally owned the look, the colour made her skin melt and that ombre hair is lustworthy. I want.
Christopher Kane however used the colour to make his lace creations stand out amongst the rest. Lace jackets, shirts and skirts in an array of citrus colours.
These colours can only make you feel one way, so get ready for the good mood that the punch of colour brings to your wardrobe.
Seventies Chic
This season we're travelling back to the seventies and loving the long lengths and wide leg trousers. Wear with pussy bow blouses to really hit the nail on the head.
Frida Giannini at Gucci combined the colour and seventies into one, with also a hint of orientalism. The collection was beautiful, loud and covetable. The satin pieces hugged the body in all the right places, making the models look all the more beautiful.
Jumpsuits are definitely the easiest way to wear the trend and since they have been around for a couple of seasons, there is a chance that you already have one hanging in the wardrobe, wear with bright accessories and super high wedges to take it right back to the seventies.
A Lady in White
Whether you opt for a white tailored suit or a delicately created gown, white is the easy-to-wear colour of the season.
Accessories should be kept to a minimum and let the clothes speak for themselves. Tan is great for a pair of sandals or shoes and a thin, leather belt will draw in the waist on the loose fitting shifts.
Erdem and Dolce and Gabbana had the ladies decked out in pretty white lace, which is perfect for the afternoon tea and the office. Lace can look smart and adds something to the plain white cotton textures.
It all goes natural
The designers must have looked out the window, or in the kitchen when designing their latest collections. They had a hint of all things natural, like fruit, animals and butterflies.
The beautiful creations were printed with oranges at Stella McCartney, bananas at Prada and lemons at Moschino Cheap and Chic. The playful twist showed that fashion can still be fun.
Giles Deacon's first show at Emanuel Ungaro managed to bring the outside in, with terrain on the floor and a vintage beetle crashed into a mound of flowers, which had grown over the car. It was beautiful. The theme was carried through to their accessories, with small flowers on the arms of the sunglasses.
Sarah Burton's first full collection at Alexander McQueen was fluttered with butterflies. But if you really don't fancy the print on the clothes go for small butterflies in the hair, which will decorate the on trend buns or plaits.
Animal prints on clothes were used in a new way. As it wasn't just the skins featured. Louis Vuitton went for giraffes, Ashish had wolves and Miu Miu went for swans. The cutest of them all was the four legged friend that was taken down the Mulberry catwalk wearing a belted cape.
