WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The sleek sophistication of Matthew Miller’s last few collections continued for spring, but with a softer and lighter feel. A silky fabric with matte and sheen sections mimicked gingham on pyjama-like shirts and loose trousers. Even bomber jackets were deflated, airy and light in linen fabrics, while soft caramel knits were tailored to resemble the heavy wool coats of autumn.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The sleek sophistication of Matthew Miller’s last few collections continued for spring, but with a softer and lighter feel. A silky fabric with matte and sheen sections mimicked gingham on pyjama-like shirts and loose trousers. Even bomber jackets were deflated, airy and light in linen fabrics, while soft caramel knits were tailored to resemble the heavy wool coats of autumn.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Agi & Sam continued to play with shape, proportion and layering for spring in a mix and match of fabric choices. Standout pieces included furry cow-hide panelled knitted jackets, zipped jackets and trouser sets in old sofa upholstery-style jacquards and cropped padded bombers.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: MatchesFashion.com’s head of menswear Damien Paul declared shorts a key buy for spring 17 after Patrick Grant’s E Tautz show. They came cropped super-short and cut high on the waist. Tailoring had an 1980s boxy cut to it, but was loose and louche for summery weather. Stripes, in all variations from tie-dye wiggles to deckchair styles, were confirmed as a trend to watch.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Signature panelled tracksuits came in swirling contrast panels at Nasir Mazhar, while his trademark layered long shorts returned. Lacy fabrics were a new direction, creating a contrast between the strong sportiness of the silhouettes and the delicate nature of the fabric.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: A classic floral motif bought a blaze of pattern to Tiger of Sweden for spring, cut into panels on slim tailoring and across sections of sporty hoodies, or covering boxy wide-sleeved shirts, and co-ordinating roomy shorts. There were yet more stripes, sometimes as a tiger-like formation across a neat bomber jacket, or running up and down or from side to side on jackets, shirts and matching bottoms.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: There were yet more stripes at Lou Dalton, but the variegated colours and scales across roomy shorts and boxy V-neck tops were a fresh take. Nods to modern utility dressing (another trend) also came through in the super-lightweight techy outerwear. A highlight overcoat was made out of a bonded ribbon stripes, an interesting twist on check formations. Strong use of tomato red, sunshine yellow and baby blue will appeal to buyers seeking some colour to pep up their buy.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The father and son duo behind Casely-Hayford were another brand to debut womenswear this season, in a capsule collection that featured some strong outerwear options. For men, the pair said their latest collection took inspirations from the 1970s rock and 2000s grime music scenes. That created a clash of styles, as colourful paisley suiting was teamed with monochromatic tie-dye bleached casual jackets, and a real eclectic mix and match of fabrics contrasted across shawl-collar suiting and long robe-like coats.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: This was the Cottweiler design duo’s first full catwalk collection, having only shown a smaller presentation in previous seasons. Foamy cargo pocket trousers, techy super-thin fabric tracksuits and tailored blazer-like jackets came contrasted by crafty natural knits and embroidery details. Functional and utility references could also be spotted, from the kangaroo pockets built into jackets or phone-sized pockets strewn from waist bands. The sandy and blush tones that closed the show are a trend to watch.
