We may never have progressed beyond GCSE-level maths, and our scientific abilities peaked during our school years, but make no mistake - the H! Fashion team can dissect a runway with expert precision.
Thus far, fashion month has proven to be a particularly colourful innings with a handful of standout trends to note. Gauzy, sheer layers and bedroom motifs saturated the streets of London, while across the pond in New York, vintage-inspired florals, intricate embroidery and innovative colourblocking reigned supreme.
One runway recurrence remains particularly patent: fringed detailing, especially of the skirt persuasion.

American brands Ralph Lauren and The Attico played into The Big Apple’s penchant for more commercial cuts, styling fringed bottoms with sleek tailoring and after-dark staples.
