The definitive ladylike vibe that's in the air, is continuing into the autumn catwalk collections, from Prada's 60's beehived models sashaying down the catwalk to the sharp, shift dresses at Balenciaga. Also charming are the pussy bow blouses on the Miu Miu catwalk and the full 1950's corset skirts, as seen at Louis Vuitton and Prada. Colours reflect a retro 70's mood and we see many of the coffee, nudes and creamy caramel shades continuing from summer into autumn. Designers like Louis Vuitton and Fendi have embraced a very nostalgic aesthetic that celebrates the female form, eulogising the teeny tiny waist, a full hip and beautiful, bountiful bosoms.

The silhouette is streamlined and super-slick, as seen perfectly on the catwalks of Gucci, Stella McCartney and Chloe. So get your pencils (skirts) at the ready, whether above or below the knee this ultra-chic style will be a sensation this season, team yours with a crisp white shirt. This trend is directional and simplistic and the palette is neutral, so opt for plenty of white, black, graphite, steel blue, mocha and khaki. 20th Century Classics There's a classic shape for every body-type, curvy? Then go for full prom style skirts that are very Vuitton this season. If you're slender with a more boyish shape go for that 60's feeling as seen at Miu Miu and Valentino. For the definitively darling vibe, go for 50's A-line and petticoats with pretty Peter-Pan collars for that Parisian sensibility seen at YSL. Also think roaring romance, so smother your designs with bows, corsages and ruffles in girly shades like poppy, light plum, burnt orange and even a touch of metallic.
