Everything you need to know about the Spring/Summer 14 collections
From New York to Paris, we track our favourite catwalk moments from fashion week
IndigitalMiu Miu
Girly but quirky is the DNA of the Miu Miu brand - and the Spring/Summer 2014 collection was both of the above, with cute cat prints, ladylike skirts and jackets, socks we remember wearing at school and a pastel palette.
LS
IndigitalLouis Vuitton
As the last ever Marc Jacobs show for the label, the Louis Vuitton show was the designer's big send-off...
IndigitalLouis Vuitton
...dedicated to "the women who inspire me and the showgirl in every one of them" , it was an entirely black, greatest hits collection, even featuring props from his previous shows.
LS
InDigitalAlexander McQueen
The dress form the McQueen collection most likely to make the red carpet? This one.
LS
InDigitalAlexander McQueen
Feathers were a key element of Sarah Burton's McQueen collection this season - seen layered over sweaters and worn as skirts.
LS
InDigitalAlexander McQueen
My favourite McQueen piece? This low-slung kilt and matching jacket.
LS
Rex FeaturesValentinto
From Aztec prints and fringing to a palette of teal, purple and camel, the Valentino show had a southwestern vibe, but with the lace and romantic maxi-dresses Valentino is known for.
LS
PAChanel
Tweed and pearls - the Chanel hallmarks were all here, but Karl Lagerfeld gave the collection a new season spin with giant pearl chokers, paintbox make-up and socks with court shoes
LS
InDigitalSaint Laurent
We've had grunge, then luxe boho - this season Hedi Slimane did the 1980s-inspired partywear for Saint Laurent...
InDigitalSaint Laurent
...sparkly dresses were dressed down with mannish blazers and rock-and-roll makeup...
InDigitalSaint Laurent
...and there was menswear aplenty on the catwalk, from tailored suits and shirts to ties.
LS
InDigitalElie Saab
Known for his pretty floor-length dresses, this season this most exciting Elie Saab creations on the catwalk were this racy slips in red and black.
LS
IndigitalStella McCartney
Stella McCartney's pretty lace-heavy collection saw Miranda Kerr return to the runway.
LS
IndigitalStella McCartney
Cara Delevingne also jetted into Paris to walk for Stella.
LS
InDigitalGivenchy
Aside from the slightly scary sequin mask, it was Riccardo Tisci's eveningwear that caught our eye in the Givenchy show. This sequin dress is sure to be a red carpet smash.
LS
InDigitalChloe
The Chloe girl was as effortlessly cool as ever - this knotted-sleeve chiffon dress was a personal favourite of mine.
LS
IndigitalCeline
Fashion editors' favourite Celine went in a new direction this season (a smart move considering all the high street copies of the label), we had painterly prints...
IndigitalCeline
...fish net-esque skirts...
IndigitalCeline
...and over-sized jewellery.
LS
IndigitalKenzo
The Kenzo show is guaranteed to produce cult items - in place of the tiger sweatshirt, this year we had fisherman hats, coil necklaces and chunky-soled shoes, and trainers in the water-themed collection.
LS
IndigitalViktor and Rolf
With its navy blue, badges and pleated skirts, the Viktor and Rolf collection had a school uniform vibe...
IndigitalViktor and Rolf
...but goody two shoes it was not, as seen by the studs aplenty.
LS
IndigitalAlessandra Rich
Off-the-shoulder dresses and the prettiest lace - the Alessandra Rich collection is so girly we hope to see everyone wearing it on the red carpet come awards season.
LS
IndigitalSonia Rykiel
Maybe it's because we haven't had a chance to whip out our winter coat yet - but the fuzzy knits at Sonia Rykiel are looking majorly appealing right now.
LS
IndigitalIsabel Marant
We're in the midst of Marant mania with her H&M collection dropping soon - but her cool ruffled mainline collection will be adored by all the Marant-aholics too.
LS
IndigitalChristian Dior
Raf Simons created a collection of two halves - first off we had pretty dresses with text embroidered across...
IndigitalChristian Dior
...then we had a finale with a whole new batch of ballgowns - some embellished with school uniform-esque badges. We're sure J-Law will be a fan.
LS
InDigitalBalmain
Wearing barely-there make-up, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley returned to the runway for Balmain's show.
LS
IndigitalRoland Mouret
The Roland Mouret show had stripes aplenty - we liked the off-the-shoulder vibe of this shift dress.
LS
InDigitalRick Owens
The most buzzed about show at Paris Fashion Week, Rick Owens used women of all shapes, races and sizes at his show by using a step dance group instead of models on the runway.
LS
IndigitalLanvin
Holographic hues and plenty of purple has us in a disco mood at Lanvin.
LS
IndigitalLanvin
Bin liners re-imagined as chic clutches, and mullets on the catwalk? The usual fashion rules were thrown out of the window at Lanvin.
LS
IndigitalOlympia Le Tan
Olympia Le Tan's show had a rockabilly vibe - and we love the dress Daisy Lowe is wearing printed with the designer's famous book clutches.
LS
IndigitalOlympia Le Tan
There were also plenty of nautical influences at Olympia Le Tan...
LS
IndigitalCarven
Chokers, floral mini skirts and over-sized jean jackets - is it us, or is there something a little 90s about Carven's latest collection?
LS
IndigitalCarven
Camo made a catwalk return at Carven - this time in a bolder colourway.
LS
IndigitalBalenciaga
The off-the-shoulder trend continued at Balenciaga - Alexander Wang sent the models down the runway in these sculptural dresses.
LS
IndigitalBalenciaga
Sheer layers over skirts and trousers added to the peekaboo vibe of the collection.
LS
InDigitalDries Van Noten
The Dries Van Noten collection was a super-cool mix of oriental print jackets, retro frames and slouchy trousers...
InDigitalDries Van Noten
...and this statement gold lace skirt.
LS
InDigitalRochas
The tutu skirts at Rochas caught our eye...
InDigitalRochas
...but not as much as the extreme furry mules - kudos to the models who didn't trip over wearing these...
LS
InDigitalGareth Pugh
Following on from the furry shoes at Rochas, we had a furry headdress at Gareth Pugh.
LS
InDigitalAnthony Vaccarello
The Anthony Vaccarello show brought us super glam off-the-shoulder dresses - and a new hankerchief hem.
LS
InDigitalMissoni
The classic zig zag patterns were there, but bird and mountain prints made a statement at Missoni.
LS
InDigitalMissoni
The label also did monochrome - but in their classic clashing style.
LS
IndigitalGiorgio Armani
Neckerchiefs, paint-splashed lace and watercolour prints all featured in the Giorgio Armani collection - but we loved the pink and lilac silk dresses best.
LS
IndigitalDolce & Gabbana
Roman coins were a key theme at the Dolce & Gabbana show, seen on dresses...
IndigitalDolce & Gabbana
...and accessories, like this belt.
IndigitalDolce & Gabbana
Florals, polka dots and sheer net were also key trends at Dolce & Gabbana.
LS
IndigitalMarni
Visors were back in a big way at Marni - as were, er, sequin-encrusted bomber jackets and pencil skirts.
LS
InDigitalMSGM
From clashing prints to cut-out leather tops, MSGM is always one of the most fun shows on the Milan schedule - just check out those bold earrings!
LS
InDigitalSalvatore Ferragamo
From mini kilts to crop tops in beige and cream, the Salvatore Ferragamo collection had an urban, sporty and dare we say minimal vibe.
LS
InDigitalMoschino
Moschino always brings the fun to the catwalk - so we had a teddy bear hat...
InDigitalMoschino
...a double whammy of iconic models...
InDigitalMoschino
...hand print swimsuits...
InDigitalMoschino
...and a paper bag dress.
LS
InDigitalEmilio Pucci
With sequins, short skirts and fringing, the Emilio Pucci show was as glam as ever.
LS
IndigitalRoberto Cavalli
The Roberto Cavalli show had a rock and roll vibe, teamed with a bit of old school elegance - we had beaded dresses and fur stoles...
IndigitalRoberto Cavalli
...big kimonos and slouchy trousers...
IndigitalRoberto Cavalli
...and sequin trousers and shades on the runway.
LS
IndigitalVersace
Versace gave the punk theme of last season new life with mullet hairdos on the catwalk and chains...
IndigitalVersace
...band t-shirts and leather shorts...
IndigitalVersace
...sweetened with pretty pastel shades like this lilac.
LS
IndigitalEtro
Etro went for a boho theme with paisley prints aplenty, tonnes of layers and draping and some slouchy holey knit sweaters.
LS
IndigitalSportmax
I LOVED the polka dots at Sportmax - proof this print isn't going anywhere for Spring. Note the mules too.
LS
InDigitalFendi
Georgia May Jagger and Cara Delevingne were almost unrecognisable on the Fendi catwalk in these black pudding bowl wigs...
LS
InDigitalFendi
...following on from her blonde wig at the Marc Jacobs show, we think Cara kind of pulls off this black 'do.
LS
InDigitalFendi
Aside from the pudding bowl haircuts, what really caught our eye at Fendi were the fluffy accessories.
LS
InDigitalPrada
One of the big guns of Milan Fashion Week, Prada did not disappoint with bringing the drama - namely by putting furry coats with face prints on the catwalk for summer.
LS
IndigitalJust Cavalli
The Just Cavalli collection was a riot of clashing prints - we loved the slip dress and over-sized sunnies.
LS
IndigitalJust Cavalli
Also on the Just Cavalli catwalk - holographic details, like this coat.
LS
IndigitalMaxMara
Purple has emerged as a key colour at Milan Fashion Week already - we loved this MaxMara slip dress.
LS
InDigitalNo.21
Boyfriend shirts embellished with jewels and navy peacoats teamed with floral sandals - this was a new take on boy-meets-girl dressing.
LS
IndigitalGucci
With net bikinis on show, plunging necklines and rich fabrics Gucci was typically molto sexy.
LS
IndigitalGucci
Glittery kimonos added to the boudoir vibe at Gucci.
LS
InDigitalAlberta Ferretti
Super girly with floral-embroidered dresses, striped full skirts and ballet pumps, Alberta Ferretti's show was full of romance.
LS
InDigitalAlberta Ferretti
This = my dream holiday dress.
LS
IndigitalTom Ford
The master. Tom Ford took over LFW with a suitably glam evening. Exhibit A.
DK
IndigitalTom Ford
Exhibit B: Wear if you dare.
DK
IndigitalChristopher Kane
Absolutely in lust with Christopher Kane's latest looks. Whimsical yet futuristic? That's fashion for ya!
DK
IndigitalChristopher Kane
Always a highlight on the LFW schedule, Christopher Kane had the front row raving over these pastel dresses with tear drop cut-outs.
LS
IndigitalChristopher Kane
Christopher Kane had plenty of girly florals and lace in his collection - grounded by a cool sport sweatshirt (this is one trend that isn't going away).
LS
InDigitalPeter Pilotto
As they announced their lower-priced collaboration with US store Target (available at Net A Porter for us Brits), Peter Pilotto created a collection that got us super-excited for this high/low team-up - mullet hems, rainbow prints and sporty jumpers were our pick of the pieces.
LS
IndigitalBurberry
Burberry had all the star power (Harry Styles and Sienna on the front row) this LFW - but what about the clothes? A lot of the styles from last season - belted trenches, sheer skirts with big knickers underneath, pencil skirts and sweaters, got a spring update in pretty pastel hues, with lace and heavy embellishment.
LS
IndigitalMarios Schwab
Marios Schwab did a more daywear-friendly collection (albeit with plenty of show-stopping gowns for his red carpet fans). We were most excited about his first foray into denim.
LS
InDigitalPreen
Our fashion team went crazy over the patchwork at Preen - this first look from the collection was the most tweeted-about.
LS
InDigitalPreen
Pink = still a staple for SS14 - as proved by this 'Miami-inspired' hot pink frock from Preen.
LS
InDigitalPreen
Yes, that is a cagoule you see on the runway. But a very chic take by Preen.
LS
IndigitalErdem
Not so ladylike anymore are we? The Canadian-born designer took a darker approach to spring. Please note: you need mass amounts of confidence to carry this off.
DK
IndigitalErdem
Erdem went for a black and white theme this season - we loved this sculptural dress teamed with flatforms.
LS
IndigitalErdem
Simple and modern - this all-white look isn't what we'd normally expect from Erdem - but we like it.
LS
IndigitalRoksanda Ilincic
Roksanda shyed away from a fuill-on girly look for a modern collection featuring a zingy colour palette, shoes we LOVED and skirts over trousers.
LS
InDigitalJonathan Saunders
From the dip-dye fabrics to circle sunglasses and off-kilter colour combinations, there was a 1970s vibe to Jonathan Saunders's collection.
LS
InDigitalMary Katrantzou
The riot of print and pattern we come to expect from Mary Katrantzou - this strapless dress on model Jacquetta Wheeler was our favourite look.
LS
InDigitalMatthew Williamson
It wouldn't be a Matthew Williamson show without a beautifully embroidered dress - this floral number from his SS 14 collection was oh-so-girly.
LS
InDigitalMatthew Williamson
Monochrome has appeared in many guises this LFW - we enjoyed this slouchy printed suit at Matthew Williamson.
LS
InDigitalPaul Smith
Paul Smith got sexy at his SS14 show - from trouser suits with nothing underneath, to sheer shirts and short shorts.
LS
InDigitalPaul Smith
Despite the racier looks, the tomboy style Paul does so well was still apparent - we loved the tailored trousers and trilby hats.
LS
InDigitalTopshop Unique
Shying away from a typically summery palette, Topshop chose green, purple and anything but pastels for their SS 14 show. Trousers and skirts were low slung.
LS
InDigitalTopshop Unique
The 'Heat Rave' theme continued with backless dresses in mosaic-inspired prints - made for wearing on a beach holiday. LS
InDigitalTemperley London
We all know the Duchess of Cambridge is a huge Temperley fan - will she be seen in one of this season's girly designs in pink and purple?
LS
InDigitalTemperley London
For the more daring of Temperley's A-List fans (we're looking at you, Anna Kendrick and Pixie Lott) - we suggest this leopard and floral mash-up.
LS
InDigitalMulberry
Emma Hill's last Mulberry collection in her role as Creative Director certainly felt more subdued that previous shows, but with an English country garden theme, campaign girl Cara opening and closing the show, and a covetable cluster of new bags, it still had plenty to satisfy the Mulberry girl.
LS
InDigitalMulberry
We couldn't leave off the dogs on the runway - a Mulberry trademark (we're enjoying the pooch/model co-ordination, too).
LS
InDigitalEmilia Wickstead
The ladylike looks at Emilia Wickstead thoroughly improved my Sunday morning. You can see why the Duchess of Cambridge loves her label so much.
LS
InDigitalEmilia Wickstead
Not sure if Kate would wear this - but I certainly would.
LS
InDigitalEmilia Wickstead
Mullet hems livened up traditional ballgowns.
LS
Julien Macdonald
The Strictly star told us backstage that his collection "was dripping in celebrity" and that you could "never have too many sequins" - judging by this look, we're inclined to agree.
LS
InDigitalHouse of Holland
Harry Styles on the front row couldn't distract us from this cool collection - the temporary tattoo on the invite made it onto this lace-trimmed slip dress.
LS
InDigitalHouse of Holland
Baseball caps and a sweater tied round the waist added tomboy styling to a ladylike lace look.
LS
InDigitalHouse of Holland
Gingham appeared twice on the runway today (earlier at SISTER by SIBLING) - this colour clash makes the girly check cooler.
LS
InDigitalSISTER by SIBLING
The shortest denim cut-offs I've ever seen marks SISTER's first foray into denim.
LS
InDigitalSISTER by SIBLING
More low key was this polka dot denim top and gingham skirt - I also loved the pom pom accessories.
LS
InDigitalAshish
Go glittery or go home - obvi.
DK
InDigitalAshish
The designer told us that his girl had "just got home at 7am with all her jewellery on".
DK
InDigitalJW Anderson
Forget textures, JW Anderson made fashion 3D.
DK
InDigitalHolly Fulton
Orange, peach and violet purple - it shouldn't work, but I love this look.
DK
InDigitalHolly Fulton
Fulton's pretty prints are always a LFW highlight for me. Don't miss that cork skirt in the line-up...
DK
firstVIEWJasper Conran
The sunshine yellow palette and print kaftans at Jasper Conran were the perfect antidote to the grisly weather outside. This candy striped ballgown was a particular favourite of mine.
LS
firstVIEWJasper Conran
If this all sounds too girly, there were plenty of pieces with a more ladylike edge - like this navy floor-length gown.
LS
InDigitalEudon Choi
Proving pink will stay just as popular come SS14, we fell in love with this short suit at Eudon Choi.
LS
InDigitalEudon Choi
Love pajama dressing? Then look no further - this look made me want to crawl into bed (in a good way).
LS
InDigitalDaks
From the plunging neckline to the print, cinched waist and shades, this was my top pick from Daks' catwalk show.
DK
InDigitalDaks
Daks is making a case for all black in springtime...But when it looks this damn chic, why not?
The headscarf is sure to be a fashion essential next season for anyone aiming to update this Riviera look.
DK
firstVIEWPPQ
Off the shoulders, and oh-so party ready, PPQ went bright and bold for spring.
DK
GoRunwayRalph Lauren
Ralph Lauren has ensured monochrome stays firmly on-trend for spring with this latest collection...
DK
GoRunwayRalph Lauren
And then came the brights. The American designer threw in a healthy measure of punchy hues to liven next season.
DK
InDigitalMarc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs closed NYFW in suitably statement style with embroidered military style coats.
DK
InDigitalMarc Jacobs
But not your normal camo garb, of course. Autumnal prints make this more grown up.
DK
GoRunwayJ Mendel
Lace is carrying over for SS 14 once again, and we couldn't be happier. Not just plain and ladylike, a pretty pink trim lights up this look.
DK
GoRunwayJ Mendel
Normally known for his floaty Grecian frocks, Mendel is working with a more tailored aesthetic next season.
DK
GoRunwayMichael Kors
The timeless appeal of polkadots is only strengthened by Michael Kors' wispy frock.
DK
GoRunwayMichael Kors
Kors has updated this retro crop and pencil skirt with a chocolate print for summer (also known as the outfit my imaginary jet set self would wear).
DK
GoRunwayOscar de la Renta
Oscar de la Renta gets oh-so romantic. This is my pick for fashion with a vintage twist.
DK
GoRunwayOscar de la Renta
...Or this. My seven-year-old self is rejoicing. This is like a rose come to life.
DK
InDigitalSass & Bide
The Aussie label has left our fair shores for the other side of the pond. Suits them!
DK
InDigitalSass & Bide
I am envisioning a pretty, petite 'sleb rocking this on the red carpet. Two thumps up.
DK
GoRunwayMarc by Marc Jacobs
Marc's having a fuchsia moment...On SATIN, no less. Hats off!
DK
GoRunwayMarc by Marc Jacobs
And there's the bling factor!
DK
GoRunwayDiesel Black Gold
Diesel does layering, and white's never looked so interesting.
DK
J Crew
The J Crew show was full of the punchy prints and wearable separates the brand are known for - but our eyes were drawn especially to the Sophia Webster shoes.
LS
Jamie HawkesworthVictoria Victoria Beckham
Controversially, I'm feeling VB's Victoria Victoria Beckham line to her main collection. I need this dress in my life.
DK
Jamie HawkesworthVictoria Victoria Beckham
It's got to be the print - they're so cute, right?!
DK
Go RunwayThakoon
I loved the pearl strap bags (worn as necklaces) at Thakoon - they gave a ladylike element to the split skirts and crop tops.
LS
GoRunwayTommy Hilfiger
Joan Smalls sets the scene for the Tommy Hilfiger show - a beachy affair complete with sand by the runway.
LS
All Saints
All Saints might not have been an obvious choice to show at NYFW - but I like the cool, downtown vibe of their spring presentation - it's a sleeker and more modern look for the label.
LS
GoRunway3.1 Phillip Lim
From the clean, modern lines and sporty shapes, to the relfective sunnies and embellished sweaters, I couldn't get enough of the 3.1 Phillip Lim collection.
LS
GoRunway3.1 Phillip Lim
This white dress with embroidered detail was so pretty - expect to see on a red carpet near you soon.
LS
GoRunwayDonna Karan
Low slung belts and earthy tones - the Donna Karan collection had a boho/cowgirl vibe.
LS
GoRunwayAltuzarra
I loved the red lips and reworked shirts/skirts at Altuzarra. Effortless chic from a label that's just been invested in by the owners of Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney.
LS
GoRunwayTheyskens Theory
The wispy chiffon dresses at Theyskens Theory were nineties minimalism at its best. And wet look hair has been a huge catwalk trend in New York.
LS
GoRunwayAlexander Wang
Georgia May Jagger in a Parental Advisory sweater - this is Alexander Wang at his urban, grungy best (with a 90s throwback thrown in).
LS
GoRunwayDKNY
Dungarees have been my sartorial staple this season - so I'm glad to see they are still around next spring.
LS
GoRunwayDKNY
I also loved the patchwork denim at DKNY - there's a similar pair in Zara I've got my eye on...
LS
GoRunwayVictoria Beckham
VB whipped up a fashion frenzy with a shock of fuchsia and super minis.
DK
GoRunwayVictoria Beckham
She also experimented with pleated panels peaking out of skirts...
DK
Go RunwayThakoon
But Beckham wasn't the only one experimenting with new textures. Thakoon hiked the hems and tried out an asymmetric skirt for spring.
DK
Go RunwayThakoon
A slew of simple slip dresses opened the designer's S/S 14 collection.
DK
GoRunwayAltuzarra
This might just be the perfect mix of elegance & understated!
DK
GoRunwayMonique Lhuillier
Orange and pink? Clashing colours aren't going anywhere for spring!
DK
GoRunwayMonique Lhuillier
Love this, just a little too much!
DK
Go RunwayOpening Ceremony
Over at Opening Ceremony, the States' answer to Dover Street Market, the look was suitably more urban to match the show's 2 Fast 2 Furious theme.
DK
Go RunwayThakoon
Even if you're not one for orange, doesn't this colour mix (and the oversized top)make it a bit more accessible?
DK
Go RunwayZac Posen
Taylor Swift has definitely got her eyes on this piece of pleated perfection, no?
DK
H&M
For H&M's presentation of their Spring 2014 during New York Fashion Week, the label went for a boho vibe...
LS
H&M
...designer Ann-Sofie Johansson said of her designs that “The Spring girl is the same girl that we thought of when we had our show in Paris in February. She loves to mix it up, and she wants to dress really effortlessly. She has a bohemian feeling, and she wants to look a little bit like a tomboy.”
LS
H&M
The zebra blazer and knee-high boots certainly caught our eye.
LS
H&M
An easy breezy navy smock will be our cover up of choice come Autumn.
LS
H&M
Whilst this tan and navy jackets makes a chic new take on the spring biker jacket.
LS
H&M
Zebra prints continued in the collection on a super short mini skirt.
LS
H&M
Heavy embellishment gave a slouchy navy sweater a cool boho edge.
LS
Rex FeaturesRita Ora at DKNY
What a way to end a show! Rita Ora, the star of DKNY’s new campaign, closed the designer’s catwalk show.
DK
Rex FeaturesKarlie Kloss at DVF
It seems model Karlie Kloss is enjoying Diane’s amber-hued collection as much as us!
DK
Rex FeaturesKaren Elson at DVF
Soft silhouettes and colourful prints are a fixture of any Diane von Furstenberg show - we love the clash of red on red with model Karen Elson wearing this crimson frock.
DK
AllSaints
Brit label headed across the pond to present its Spring/Summer 2014 line. I adore this effortless monochrome outfit, which could hold you over any season.
DK
Alice + Olivia
The crop top (and midi skirt, so chic!) gets a makeover for spring in pale mint. Love!
DK
GoRunwayTommy Hilfger
Oh, hey Tommy Hilfiger. These multi-hued beauties are leather pants 2.0 for the preppy and proud.
DK
GoRunwayTommy Hilfiger
The All-American label tackled the jumper dress - to rave reviews. Accessorise with bold bangles and go.
DK
GoRunwayAltuzarra
Metallics aren't going anywhere next season. Joseph Altuzarra has come up with the perfect balance of OTT opulence paired with a loose T - the epitome of effortless.
DK
GoRunwayAltuzarra
The designer also offered up a series of laced up leather-ware. My favorite was this wrap-effect suede-top dress. It's calling Angelina's name, no?
DK
GoRunwayOstwald Helgason
Helgason seemed to be the name on everyone's lips as NYFW kicked off. His collection featured bold buds and bright hues.
DK
GoRunwayChristian Siriano
The former Project Runway winner debuted an eclectic collection of gowns for jetsetting girls - a spot formerly dominated by Giambattista Valli exclusively...
DK
GoRunwayChristian Siriano
But just by this textured drop-waist dress, his range is impressive.
DK
