From shoes and hats to shirts and knitwear, light pierced the surface of all the key looks. Knitwear was largely sleeveless; funnel-neck tops had their arms completely removed; polo shirt sleeves were shrunken to appear capped. Houndstooth was also given the Prada update, used beautifully on a grey raglan-sleeved coat and cropped slim-leg trouser.

The colour palette was largely black and white but with scatterings of drops of colour like flowers on the ultra-skinny low-rise jean. When Moschino did show colour it was electric – literally and figuratively – in a teal silk suit that could stop traffic. These weren’t clothes for work, they were for the weekend. But they made you hope it would be a long one.
