ALL THE COOL KIDS

Fashion insider DAWN KOH says: “I have a massive obsession with biker jackets. Something about it is just so sexy, especially when the leather ages and it has a naturally distressed finish. This season, I like McQueen’s take on the biker jacket paired with a tulle skirt.”

If you’re a fan of ’70s music legends like Blondie, Sex Pistols and Joan Jett, as well as ’90s supermodel Kate Moss, you’d be happy to know that one of their many enduring wardrobe staples – the biker jacket – is back after a long break from the catwalks.

In the hands of Alexander McQueen’s Sarah Burton, it was paired with a frou-frou tulle skirt and heavyduty work boots – a look synonymous with London’s underground punk movement. Simone Rocha’s version, however, is the opposite of punk, as she gave the jacket a girlie update with puffy sleeves.

Pro tip: Avoid wearing it with skinny jeans – a baggier, more loose-fit silhouette is the way to go.
