THE TREND

Masculine elements in womenswear

DIOR

For her cruise 2019 collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri draws together tailoring and equestrianism to create this Newbury stripe blanket coat.

BOTTEGA VENETA

Bottega Veneta takes a men’s houndstooth pattern and reimagines it into a knee-length skirt. The woven texture comes from printed polka dots.

LOUIS VUITTON

Louis Vuitton offers a dazzling take on Prince of Wales checks, overblown to look hand-stitched, while sequins feature in the checkerboard.

HERMÈS

Hermès goes for a softer take, turning a Madrascheck raincoat lining into an asymmetric dress, which is given a lift with tones of pink and peach.
