The allure of autumn calls for a medley of pre-fall prints in rich tones and exquisite fabrics, for days spent beneath the setting sun
The infamous Versace print: Glamorous, high-impact and head-turning. But is it actually wearable? We say Yes with resolute. It’s both feisty and functional and if you buy wisely, an investment piece. (Rest-assured, this 70-year-old insignia isn’t going anywhere fast). Choose a colour that suits and avoid anything too trend driven. Red could be your road to Versace fame…

And then there’s Roberto Cavalli’s pre-fall prints: Painterly leaf and animal mosaic. A power pairing when worn together. But why stop there? Up the ante and meld with Dior’s red heart embroidered miniature Lady Dior. If you’re feeling bold, we suggest metallic trousers to complete the look.

For those who prefer just to dip their toes in pre-fall prints, there’s plenty of minimal logo references to look towards. Gucci’s iconic G logo makes its way on to thigh-high boots. The fashion desk pairs with a floor sweeping, sequin embedded shiny gown. If ostentation is not your thing then turn away and move swiftly on to Oscar de la Renta’s monotone skeleton dress.
