Lanvin

Key looks: Strips of beading bejewelled a slate grey dress accessorised with oversized gem jewellery

Inspiration: Moving on from the jewelled shades of satin that characterised Lanvin's spring offer, Alber Elbaz opted to play with fabrics for autumn, with an emphasis on metallic embellishment

Silhouettes: Whittled waists and sculpted skirts on simpler pieces emphasised the hips, while beaded dresses let embellishment do the talking

Fabrics: Treated, washed  and technical fabrics offered shine, while satin ribbon encased bodies

Colours: Black, cream and café au lait were enlivened with sprinklings of gold décor
