How to wear this season’s catwalk trends in real life(0)

From mega bags to the politics of pink: six spring looks, decoded

The bedding bag

Receptacles were huge on the catwalks this season, and served with a dose of irony. At Balenciaga, the new It bag is a £2,300 version of the sort of square-edged plastic cover that comes with a new duvet or electric blanket.

Or just enjoy the knowledge that your look is on point even when you’re weighed down with children’s PE kits or an Ikea flatpack.

Haute desking

Your work shirt appears to have been caught in the shredder. Disaster, right? Wrong. This season, that’s a look. It’s called deconstructed shirting and it’s part of a wider preoccupation with rejigged workwear. On the catwalk, this means a pinstriped blazer worn backwards and refashioned into a dress. In real life, it’s a shirt with a peephole at the shoulder, or a trench with an extra-thick, flattering belt. Basically, these are office clothes, but not the way that Steve in facilities management wears them.Read more at:
