Bright vibrant head to toe hues, colour blocking in bold primary colours and painted prints in a rainbow of technicolor most memorable at Chanel.

The METALLIC trend stays with us from fall. But not just the classic silver and gold as seen at Altuzarra and Saint Laurent but Quality Street colours of purple, green and pink, see Lanvin for Alber Elbaz’s molten moment.

FLORAL was ever present for the summer season. Not just the pretty florals which were very pretty at Nina Ricci and Alberta Ferretti but the embroidered florals at Dolce & Gabbana, the techno florals at Mark Katrantzou and the photosynthesis florals at Christopher Kane.

The GLOBAL TRAVELLER was a big trend for this season. Think tribal not boho, heavy textures and a lot of fringing. See Valentino for the collection that did it best.

SKIRTS: a new skirt shape is being pioneered for this season and leader of the pack was Phoebe Philo’s offerings at Celine; a slightly longer mid calf length, with a flared hem. Also seen at Jil Sander and Prada.

THE FEMININE SILHOUETTE: nipped in waists and midi skirts were all over the catwalks for winter, with coat dresses at Christian Dior, skirt suits at Prada and belted styling at Rochas; very reminiscent of the Hitchcock heroine.

RELIGION: many of the top designers took their inspiration from the church this season; at Dolce & Gabbana intricate jewel encrusted designs of Saints dominated the show, at Valentino and JW Anderson dresses were fit for cardinals.
