Fashion director RIVKIE BAUM reveals where to find the new season’s key looks on the high street

TANGERINE DREAM
Zingy shades of tangerine brightened up the spring/summer catwalks. Orange was the new black at Stella McCartney, Prada, Emilia Wickstead and Valentino to name just a few. This zesty hue was used in everything from daywear separates to evening gowns and coats. There’s no doubt about it, the future’s bright. DESIGNER: ALBERTA FERRETTI

THE POWER SHOULDER
The 1980s power shoulder is back – and it’s bigger than ever. Keep an eye out for accentuated shoulders on longline blazers and vintage-style trench coats, as seen at Mugler, Balenciaga and Balmain. To be bang on trend, belt your trench at the waist to create an hourglass silhouette. DESIGNER:

BACK TO THE 70S
Thanks to the success of the Tarantino film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, the 1970s are set to enjoy yet another fashion resurgence. The trend was spotted at Missoni, Louis Vuitton and Fendi, while Rixo went all out to recreate Woodstock at their show. Suede separates and psychedelic prints sat alongside punchy florals and retro fine knits. DESIGNER:

POWER OF PINK
Bolder than its pastel sister, this summer’s hot pinks are here to turn heads. At Dries Van Noten, Marini and Valentino, the highlighter hues were transformed into dramatic looks with voluminous proportions. This is the pink for 2020 – loud, proud and not afraid to stand out from the crowd.
