Paris Fashion Week has wrapped up, and we are all looking forward to the key trends coming our way in 2017. From
New York,
London and
Milan, there has been a number of important trends, styles and influences to keep in mind for SS17.
Bohemian spirit meets 80s power dressing, floaty sheer layers meets punky waist clinching belts. Whilst the vicoriana influence developed into an infatuation with contrast and lace yokes, not forgetting that ruffles are here to stay - bigger and bolder than ever before.
On the catwalks of PFW, there were a few key collections that we just can't stop thinking about, encapsulating everything we know about Spring Summer 2017 so far.
Forget about the wind and the rain. Drift off into a daydream of blue skies and warmer days as we take a look over our top Spring Summer 2016 ad campaigns. These new campaigns are just being released and signal the switch into the new season, and gives you a glimpse into what's ahead for SS16.

Embrace etherial white for Spring Summer 2015 and channel the chic styles of many catwalk looks this season. White featured heavily amongst the collections of almost every designer showing at New York, London, Milan and Paris last year.
From the prairie inspired collared dresses of Chloe to the bohemian spirit of
Alberta Ferretti's lace and fringed suede styling. There is no denying that SS15 will be awash with crisp white layers and sheer silhouettes.

Fashion week for Autumn Winter 2015 has come to a close. Ending in Paris, the home of grand fashion and this time around full of many of the biggest highlights for the whole season. Most notably the hopelessly romantic beauty of Alexander McQueen for AW15. Taking it back to the home of McQueens first ever Paris show, the AW15 collection is beautifully inspired by a wilting rose and the porcelain features of Marie
Antoinette.

The haute couture collection for any designer, is the one opportunity to really express their true creativity and most outrageous concepts. A collection to show off their imagination, expertise and technical skill.
Last week saw the Autumn/Winter 2014 couture collections of only the biggest designers shown in Paris. The vast majority of designers, including Chanel, Valentino, Raf Simons, Dior, Versace and more, expertly constructed collections drawing on historical themes with a big dose of modernity added to bring them bang up to date.
A concept which can so often be over-used and tired, was delivered with a fresh take and a huge nod to contemporary styling and simplicity that steered away from being yet another seen-it-all-before idea. The fact that couture is so deeply rooted in tradition helps and also in many ways explains this popular theme.

| Valentine Haute Couture AW14 |
Valentino turned to the pre-Raphaelite era for inspiration, delivering golden details and tapestry patches mixed with modern silhouettes and sheer materials.
 |
| Versace Haute Couture AW14 |
Versace simply offered up take on modern couture. A futuristic collection with Versace’s signature thigh-high spits and mini-skirt dresses which still managed to draw upon the 90s vibes very much at large in the fashion world right now.
 |
| Chanel Haute Couture AW14 |
Chanel combined Marie Antoinette with the 80s. Romantic silver embellishments mixed with new-wave quiffs. Both combined of course with classic Chanel tweed. And yes, it works.
Three big names who all proved their true expertise and creativity. Taking a similar trend, working it their own way and producing fresh exquisite collections.
