Mood board: The big news at Carven since those cult-issue oversized coats was this week’s announcement of Alexis Martial and Adrien Caillaudaud as the house’s new artistic directors. Caillaudaud, who hails from Givenchy and Marc Jacobs, was responsible for this season’s youthful Sixties futurism, while Martial (who just joined this week) started with the show’s styling. Flirting with colour blocking and cherry blossom prints, A/W was dominated by high-waisted Capri pants, A-line minis, raglan ski bunny turtlenecks and bobbing, cropped jackets in shades of lavender, red and cobalt.
Best in show: Once again name-checking the Orient, the collection’s Japanese cherry printed ruffled peplum jacket pant suits, and the smocked detailing that finished blouses and ruffled skirts, which married a craft naivety with a Parisienne modernity.
Finishing touches: The sock and open-backed boots looked at home with the show’s swinging disc necklaces (derived from Olafur Eliasson's Weather Project at Tate Modern) and skinny leather belts.
