Samurai Style Inspired by the simplicity of the kimono, marital arts were championed on the SS15 catwalks. Obi-style belts cinched in long lean silhouettes fashioned from structured shapes or languid lines. A guaranteed winner in the style stakes.

Make your midni ght monochrome w ork harder! Add a fla sh of colour where you least expect it. A bold shoe adds striking glamour.

Utility Chick

Uptown Girl

Petals packed a punch on the catwalks this season with the four fashion capitals cultivating vivid florals that snaked over designer’s entire collections. Don’t be a wallflower! Be bold with your blooms and wear them from head-to-toe.

Fashion classic khaki took centre stage on the catwalks this season. Perennially chic, this hard-working hue embodied the spirit of the 70s in subtle suede pieces, military shapes and safari-style glamour across all the collections.

With a nod to 70s siren Bianca Jagger, the tuxedo has had a super-chic update. Minimal monochrome silhouettes are elongated, tops lengthened and trousers flared. Accessorize with statement jewels for commanding style.

The Great Reveal

STYLIST Unveil your new season style with the chicest see-through pieces from intu Watford

A Cut Above

The Craft

Keep your cool with cropped tops and bandeaus this season. Sporty types can team with high hems while lovers of luxe should pair with a full trouser or tailored jacket for assured spring style.

Lace and crochet worked their intricate magic on this season’s 70s-inspired romantic silhouettes. Wear white with nudes for ethereal style or team with heavy boots for chic contrast.

Slashes, circles, slits and geometric slices reveal flashes of flesh encased in simple silhouettes. This is a sensual look. Remember it’s not what you put in, but all about what you leave out.

Alberta Ferreti

Sultry Sheer

The art of suggestion is mastered with cool tulle and the softest chiffon. Keep your line long for evening glamour or adopt masculine cuts to give a tomboy edge to these feminine fabrics.
