All WHITE long • Get ready to embrace the achromatic for autumn/winter, as designers strip colour palettes right back. Take cues from Celine, which showed 1960s Mod minis teamed with patent go-go boots; Chloé, which focused on frills; and Louis Vuitton, which gave the trend a sporty spin. Your icy whites await…

Liberowe • With an emphasis on high-quality tailoring and signature silhouettes, this brand is shaping up to be a heavy hitter in the fashion industry

Top it OFF • The autumn/winter 2024 shows made it official: it’s the era of the jaunty chapeau. Say bye-bye to the beanie and opt for a beret (very Dior), a peaked and plumed topper (very Prada) or Tolu Coker’s bowler hat (very fab). The more adventurous should try Chanel’s wide-brim option, piled with heirloom brooches. Or make like the McQueen woman and tilt your hat to hide from prying eyes as you go incognito.

The CRUISE report • FROM A SUMPTUOUS VENETIAN PALACE TO AN IMPOSING SCOTTISH CASTLE, THE DRAMATIC BACKDROPS OF THIS YEAR’S RESORT SEASON BROUGHT DIVERSE YET EQUALLY INSPIRING COLLECTIONS INTO SHARP RELIEF – THE PERFECT ANTIDOTE TO WASH AWAY THE WINTER BLUES…

PEARLS of wisdom • Don’t save your most prized jewels for best. This season, TASAKI is embracing the everyday versatility of pearls for the brand’s 70th anniversary. Wear them to dress up off-duty denim and trainers or elevate the relaxed appeal of a crisp, black button-down shirt for dinner. The fun is in the contrast of high and low. A well-placed strand (or two, or three) is the easiest way to reignite a classic look.
