WHAT’S IN NEXT SPRING

HOLD ON TO YOUR FLORALS

FLOWERS never lose their bloom in fashion. This time it’s about big, bold shapes as seen at Victoria Beckham in New York. Snap up Marks & Spencer’s Limited Edition high neck dress, £45, or Zara’s floral suit jacket and trousers £69.99 and £49.99.

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK

‘NEXT Spring/Summer, burnt orange will be everywhere — tops, coats, dresses and skirts,’ says personal stylist Joanne Hegarty who blogs at thestylistandthewardrobe.com

. . . UNLESS YOU PREFER GREEN

JASPER CONRAN used every shade in the green spectrum, and last week Phillip Lim had the fash pack in raptures over

his leaf and floral print brocade.

DRESS DOWN TO DRESS UP

HEELS were all but banished as flats and trainers were revamped with studs, leather and fringing. ‘Sophia Webster does the best statement flats,’ says Navaz Batliwalla, fashion blogger at disneyrollergirl.net. Try Asos for a bargain alternative (pictured).

KEEP OFF-THE-SHOULDER TOPS

YOU’LL be wearing them next summer, too. Spotted at the Eudon Choi and Sibling shows, you can find similar pieces at Asos, or VLabel London for a lemon yellow pleated number.

BOOK A WINTER SUN HOLIDAY

IT WAS all about the post-holiday gleam at Fashion Week. At Issa, models sported a ‘tri-tonal’ look working three layers of St Tropez tan, while backstage at Holly Fulton, tanning-expert-to-the-stars James Read was showing off his miracle Tantour product, which gives ‘3D definition’.

ONE TO READ . . .

AGNES MARTIN, Her Life And Art. ‘I’m reading it in my car between shows,’ says Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman.

BRUSH UP YOUR MANNERS

‘LACE was everywhere,’ says retail editor Alison Farrington. Alexa Chung channelled Lady Chatterley’s Lover, wearing an Edwardian-style Erdem lace dress with a high collar at the Vogue party and PPQ showed ruffles and oversized bows in sophisticated monochrome.
