GINGHAM COAT

While Demna Gvasalia used the Balenciaga Spring '18 show as an opportunity to showcase his originality, some pieces were directly inspired by the house's founder. This 'Cristóbal' coat is reminiscent of original '50s designs and patterned with eye-catching red and white gingham. It's finished with raw edges and an oversized neck tie - reference the runway and knot it into a loose bow at the side.

STUDDED TIGHTS

 

Wolford Roxanne is the perfect example of less is more when it comes to fashion tights. Take the backseam for an example, an absolute paragon of this type of design. It is as simple as can be, yet packs more punch than nearly anything else in the legwear world. Here they have quite literally taken the backseam and transplanted it and changed what it is made of. It still retains its simple and restrained appearance, but simmers in the light and grabs your attention too. This is how you make fashion that is a statement and subtle at the same time.

ASYMMETRIC SKIRT

 

Sid Neigum's Spring '18 collection is inspired by the pieces his seamstress grandmother used to make for his mom - she couldn't afford embellishments, so all the details were in the cut and fabric. Made from striped satin-jacquard, this maxi skirt sits flatteringly high on the hips and falls to a dramatic asymmetric hem.

ITS A WRAP

  

An endlessly flattering wrap dress is a wardrobe hero when it comes to smart-casual dressing. Finished with large fluted sleeves and pretty asymmetric frills, the Ellette Jersey Wrap Dress is an ultra-feminine piece. The simple jersey wrap dress has a flattering v-neckline with a small waist tie cinching in the lightweight dress. Frills add interest to the classic shape, which can be dressed up with heels for special occasions
