Marc Cain

The Marc Cain show was full of glorious coats - we especially love this teddy bear number teamed with a Sophia Loren-like head scarf. The flirty skirts and super-soft side sweeps were a joy too.

Berlin Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2014/15: What We Loved

Berlin Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2014/15: What We Loved

Modernist concrete, pretzels and Currywurst aside (not forgetting - those cute old-school film passport-booths that only cost 2 Euros a strip) we landed home yesterday with lots of fond fashion-focused memories of Berlin.

The week was a very real reminder of the fashion month madness to come (including the perenially forgettable need for waterproof everything and the joy of cabs). A major European hub of creativity, the capital offered us a smörgåsbord (yes we know that's not German but, it works) of new brands and exciting takes on style that are off our beloved beaten track - NY-London-Milan-Paris. Let us share our top 5 with you:

1. Schumacher

A brand that has long been on our radar but their new Autumn Winter 14/15 collection was truly delicious. With inspiring styling on the catwalk (the textural three-tier layering was bang-on) and some very well-heeled Schumacher girls at the store's after-party - we were totally under the sleek and chic brand's spell.

Cropped Looks | Fur Fashion Trends 2013

One of the big questions, not so long ago, was how to keep fur design fresh and youthful? Cropped Looks is one of the answers. Yes, this season had a great medley of cropped looks that are sure to win fans. Their spin on classic jackets, including blousons or bikers, shortened peacoats or kimonos, are allowing for greater versatility and wearability. These fur pieces complement a more mobile lifestyle, and work equally well with various wardrobe styles and age groups. Cropped fur looks are a MUST HAVE.

David Gandy

David Gandy - unsurprisingly - looked smart and oh-so sharp as he arrived in a three-piece suit at the Burberry show.

Paloma Faith

Brit singer Paloma Faith is pretty in pink at the Burberry show, wearing a lacey dress from the brand's Spring/Summer '14 collection. Teamed with a baby blue coat, we love the heady mix of pastels.

Marc Jacobs

Spring/summer 2014 is the time to shine – but not just come the witching hour. Sparkle from day to night by choosing embellished sportswear: bombers, blouses and bags have all had a razzle-dazzle makeover this season.

There are a number of ways to take inspiration for this trend: Miu Miu went for quirky colour combinations and plenty of tassels to twist and turn in; Simone Rocha and Michael van der Ham both channelled it in a subtle, ladylike way; while for Emilio Pucci and Marc Jacobs, more was more.

Visors, shopping totes, platforms and belts added the final flourish to many a catwalk moment. Our advice? Wear it all together for the ultimate total look.
