GoRunwayGet Graphic
**As seen at:**Mary Katrantzou, Marc Jacobs, Dries Van Noten, Holly Fulton
How to wear: Go bold or go home. Whether you prefer trompe l'oeil, like Mary Katrantzou's stamp and banknote-inspired designs, or symmetrical swirls, as referenced by Holly Fulton, keep accessories to a minimum and let the print shine.

GoRunwaySheen Queen
As seen at: Jonathan Saunders, Christian Dior, Mary Katrantzou, Viktor & Rolf, Burberry Prorsum, Diane von Furstenberg
How to wear: The trick to iridescent fabrics is to ground them with a simple neutral hue by day and a bold, solid colour by night.

GoRunwayPencils At The Ready

GoRunwayFluorescent Fashion
As seen at: Antonio Berardi, House of Holland, Simone Rocha, Osman
How to wear: Another trend sure to put off minimalists: neon. Soften punchy pink or loud lemon with a sheer blouse for a delicate effect. Or, embrace this statement-making rainbow and go tone-on-tone with structural separates.

GoRunwayBomber Redux

GoRunway90s Nostalgia
As seen at: Ashish, Balmain, DSquared2, Topshop Unique
How to wear: Unpack your baggy jeans, high-waisted trousers and slip dresses, it's the return of the decade that brought us grunge - with a shiny twist, of course. Smells like teen spirit, then!

GoRunwayWhite Out
As seen at: Victoria Beckham, Alexander Wang, Prabal Gurung, Jil Sander, Jill Stuart
How to wear: At the other end of the spectrum is a spring/summer staple: white. Layer on fluid silhouettes for a draped effect or keep it clean with crisp separates.

GoRunwayBermuda Triangle
As seen at: Rag & Bone, Alexander Wang, Nanette Lepore, Suno, Chloe
How to wear: With loose-fitting Bermudas, the key to sartorial success is proportion: oversized layers can look messy.

GoRunwaySexy 60s
As seen at: Prada, PPQ, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Moschino
How to wear: Retro has never looked so good. Flower power takes a decidedly more mature turn in the form of appliqué and Broderie Anglaise. As for the shift dress, the hem is higher and the print zanier than ever before.

GoRunwayCandy Stripers
As seen at: Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood Red Label, Michael Kors
