Suit yourself • Although her school days are long behind her, art historian Katy Hessel has embraced the joys of a good uniform in adulthood. She reflects on how tailoring, rife on the runways, became the linchpin to her look

Art ATTACK • This season, prints come straight from an artist’s palette. Delivered in vibrant colours worthy of a Rothko canvas, designers from Dries Van Noten to Roksanda took the art of fashion to new heights. Our favourite gallery-worthy example: Francesco Risso’s hand-painted pieces at Marni. Start your collection now.

High SPORT • Her cult Kick Pants have gone fashion-world viral, but industry veteran Alissa Zachary’s elevated yet functional designs have mileage beyond the hype

James NORTON • He’s endlessly in demand, but the actor always tackles the wild-card roles and will never take his success for granted

HELLO Hollywood! • Lights, camera, action! The fame game is ready for another round, and you’re its new star. Get ready for your paparazzi shot, says Naomi Pike

Dress with the A-list • Make them do a double-take by going undercover with the new stealth accessories

Fashion chooses FURNITURE • There’s no place like home – just look to the season’s biggest ad campaigns for proof

UNLEASH YOUR INNER DIVA • Rise and shine in the storied hotels beloved of silver-screen royalty

Check MATE • In the hands of the fashion pack, traditional tartan gets subversive this season. Kilts remain relevant, but they’ve been spliced with sheer lace or styled with logo-print hoodies. The mood is more punk than polish; less deer stalking, more strutting. Tartan isn’t just reserved for skirts, either. Join the clan by choosing coats, bags and even tights, all of which come checkered in a fresh new take on the pattern.

CLOCK off • SCHEDULE DOWNTIME WITH WATCHES THAT ENSURE YOU’RE CHECKED IN, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE LOGGED OFF

PIPE dreams • A surprisingly useful word for the jewellery aficionado to add to their Italian-vocab roster: tubogas. Its translation? ‘Gas pipe’. Most notably, it’s the name given to Bvlgari’s springy, unsoldered technique that is today an emblem of the Roman house’s pioneering artisanal skills. Now, a new Tubogas gold-jewellery collection continues to prove its allure through pieces that are at once elegant and industrial, strong and sinuous.

COMMUTER core • TRAFFIC-STOPPING FASHION DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE LOUD. THE AW24 CATWALKS WERE A STUDY IN SIMPLICITY, WITH A NEW EMPHASIS ON WEARABILITY AND A RANGE OF TEXTURES AND STEALTH SHADES THAT BLENDED IN SEAMLESS HARMONY

New MOODS • ELLE editors reveal the pieces that will set them up for the season ahead
