It’s LAMBING season… • Every fashion lover knows about bouclé: Coco Chanel put it on the map over 60 years ago in the form of chic two-piece suits. But now it’s back and taking over our wardrobes – and our homes. Made from curly looped wool, the fluffy-feeling fabric is the textile of the season, and a perfect covering for all mid-century furniture, from chairs to pouffes and even headboards, adding a touch of ‘cosy’ to even the most minimalist of abodes.

AND FINALLY… Back it up • This season we’re doing a full 180, turning our attention to the flipside of fashion. At Prada, models spun on the catwalk to reveal floor-sweeping bows on the backs of dresses, while on the red carpet stars from Zendaya to Elle Fanning have been looking over their shoulders to showcase the spectacular detail happening behind them. Take retro inspiration from Celine Dion – nobody could forget her 1999 Oscars outfit: a back-to-front white tuxedo by John Galliano.
