Spring into STYLE

HIDE, GIRL

Once reserved for motorcycle jackets and other sartorial markers of high testosterone, leather saw a softening on the spring runway with femininity seen in chic separates and elegant dresses.

Both stylish and resilient, a head-to-toe leather look is indicative of new age womanhood.

SHORT NOTICE 

Remember hot pants? Just in time for summer, the risqué pelvis-hugging style of the '70s has re-entered the chat, and continues to be the harbinger of shock value in fashion even after 50 years.

Get your grip on this form-fitted silhouette with that subversive retro appeal. When it comes to shorts, 'micro' is the keyword.

WORK IT 

The career girl aesthetic has undergone a sharp makeover. Workwear has entered the current zeitgeist and been transformed into statement pieces that belong as much in a nightclub as they do in a conference room.

Forget humblebragging - the idea is to serve looks straight up and rather unapologetically. 

SEE THROUGH 

Opacity in clothes is overrated - here's proof. This season, the transparency factor has reached a fever pitch, with more and more designers turning to diaphanous fabrics for everything from dresses to separates.
