W H AT L I E S B E N E AT H It looks as if sheer is going nowhere for the season ahead. There was little left to the imagination with transparency being demonstrated by none other than Dior.

BAGS FOR LIFE Fashionable storage was a headlining trend for this year’s must-have accessories. If you're one of those people who carries both a tote bag and a handbag, then you're ahead of the game. The multiple bag trend saw Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana lead with sporty pouches, sensible over-the-body styles, the classic clutch and, of course, sophisticated shoulder bags.

Red frill-sleeved suit, £159 from Joi Boutique in Middlesbrough. Paul Smith cross-body bag, £385 from Flannels in Middlesbrough. Get your hands on catwalk style, from high end to high street… 43
