high heels, as demonstrated by the models of the Miu Miu fashion show. Speaking on that occasion, Miuccia Prada told journalists that this collection of Prada’s sister brand was an exploration of modern beauty and beauties, and that it emphasised the no- tion that we should embrace “unique characters and the joy of life”. And if that’s not an on-point message for spring, I don’t know what is. Item: Shorts Hot pants dominated the catwalks in Milan – with precisely such a micro cut opening the Gucci show, symbolising the stylistic direction that’s been brought to this Florentine house by its new creative director, Sabato de Sarno. This same tendency then headed to Paris, where we noticed it in the collec- tions of Chanel and Isabel Marant. Theme: Roses Romance was in the air at the

Simone Rocha show, where fresh, long-stemmed pale pink roses were “trapped” between the layers of tulle adorning captivating party dresses. Sa- rah Burton found inspiration for her last Alexander McQueen collection in the blood-red rose and the female anatomy. Roses will also be present as print patterns, 3D decorations or ap- pliqué across multiple collections this season, spanning a conceptual range from Rei Kawakubo to Richard Quinn. Decade: The ‘90s Bold colours and prominent logos are replaced by discreet chic. Cool-headed minimalism seems like the only suitable fashion response to events unfolding around the world: camel-hair coloured pencil skirts, grey suit jackets and trousers made from the same material - as well as wide, almost macho jeans - are being pro- posed by true fashion pragmatists like Proenza Schouler, Max Mara and Bot- tega Veneta. Obligatory: Metallics Sequins, lamé and the metallic
treatment of fabrics hardly ever leave fashion’s trend orbit - but they are particularly evident at the spring shows, as the fashion metropolis that is Paris pre- pares to host the Olympics. And a dose of the super- model attitude also helps: at Ralph Lauren, Christy Turlington resembled a living Oscar statue in a “liq- uid gold” gown, while the Versace show saw Claudia Schiffer carry off a combination of toxic green and silver “chainmail” with serious ease.
