Patterns capture the quirk in various elements, this season opting for unconventional characters and branding as the focal point on the garment, taking their inspiration from cartoons, popular FMCG products to a fantastic riot of fairies, squirrels, owls and swans.

Holly Fulton and House of Holland, in comparison, took a rather sombre approach by opting for enlarged hand patterns and beauty accessories flanked on short dresses and coats.
