In no particular order: Soho, nightclub, marabou, bustier, supermodel. So far, so us. Now, we could delve deeper into the inspiration – Corinne Day, Madame Jojo’s, Revuebar, the days before Instagram – but, quite frankly, all you really need to know is: this is Topshop doing what Topshop does best – namely, creating mega clothes that girls really want to wear, and will wear. Sooner than you think – the clothes went on sale straight after the girls left the catwalk on Topshop’s website.
So what will you, inevitably, be wearing this season? This girl’s a party girl. Nothing quite says party girl like a white trouser and a diamanté belt, same goes for a sheer showgirl mini covered in come-to-bed marabou. Something of the 80s working girl, too – acid coloured tailoring that was pitched at the shoulders, super-tight leather pencil skirts. Feminine touches came in baby doll shades and sheer ruffles, a toughness in foiled leather overcoats and matching pants, or the double-denim and personalised tees that the models took their final bow wearing. Call them clothes to party in – or, alternatively, just stay in and admire yourself in the mirror.
