What’s hot for the season? Her World’s contributing fashion editor Lena Kamarudin weighs in with Net-a-Porter’s chief buying and merchandising officer Lea Cranfield, and senior market editor Libby Page.

1. A strong foundation

1/39

Reinvent your basic, everyday pieces with personality-filled separates – think a white tank top with soft leather trousers at Chloe, or a white shirt worn under a corset dress at Sacai.

“The humble white tank top takes precedence on the runways, and it’s a wardrobe staple we already know and love. It is one of the most essential pieces this season, and the most attainable trend.”

“As we adjust back to office life, designers are giving us plenty of reasons to buy new suits. Some favourites include Proenza Schouler’s cinched-in waists layered with a fitted hoodie, and Jil Sander’s double-breasted miniskirt sets.”

“Matthieu Blazy’s debut collection for Bottega Veneta was about reinventing the wardrobe must-haves for the modern customer. It’s simple yet surprising – a classic sweater paired with a lilac fringed skirt fits the definition perfectly.”

2. Playing dress up

11/39

Designers are championing a post-pandemic uniform consisting of fun, feminine and flirty everyday looks by way of crazy neon colours as seen at Versace, and over-the-top embellishments at Loewe.

“This season was all about shimmery, shiny pieces, perfect for the social media magpies of the fashion world. This trend is the evolution of the optimistic moods that we’ve seen over the past few seasons.”

“The real statement makers are the accessories. We have plenty of statement selections like Loewe’s incredible silver bow shoes, and Valentino’s Garavani One Stud bag. One of our bestsellers is Mach & Mach’s Double Bow pump. It’s sold out in all colourways, and is now on our reorder list.“

“Versace’s take on corset dressing – another significant trend this season – felt modern and fresh as it was styled with pinstripe skirts and oversized neon coats.”

3. Bedazzle in black

21/39

It may be a nondescript colour, but this season’s luxurious black outfits – from shimmering dresses at Givenchy to a bodycon LBD accented with stackable bangles at Saint Laurent – ooze a sense of sophistication and stateliness.

“After several seasons of bold, bright, and optimistic colours, this mood signifies the return of fashion’s favourite colour. Black remains as our top performing colour to date and Neta- porter’s largest investment.”

“New York’s up-and-coming designer Grace Ling provides a new take on the LBD. She is part of our Vanguard Program (where we discover and nurture the next generation of design talent).

4. Love is all around

30/39

The runways provided a visual escape and an optimistic view amid the harsh realities of war and a global pandemic, with a language of love through colours – punctuated by bursts of red at Ralph Lauren, and an homage to pink at Valentino.

“This season ended up as a more romantic season than we had initially thought by way of pink and red colours rendered on dresses, skirts and blouses. Balenciaga’s show was dedicated to fearlessness, resistance and the victory of love, while Valentino offered a more literal take on the mood of love through a sea of pink pieces.”

“For the uninhibited, confident woman who loves life and celebrates it to the fullest whenever she can, this Dolce & Gabbana super heroine Metaverse-inspired dress has her name written on it.”

“Loewe is spreading love in a more literal fashion with its conceptual Kiss dress.”
