Your imagination JW Anderson is launching a competition to find someone to work on his AW18 campaign. The weirder the idea the better, one suspects.

Bear Grylls Surely the inspo for Adsum, a new US brand that’s all about outdoorsy types.

Joséphine Karlsson All tailored suits and belted trenches, the lawyer from Spiral is our workwear heroine du jour.

Alex Iwobi, John Obi Mikel and Joseph Yobo The World Cup is months away but we’re already Team Super Eagles. The reason? Their green and black chevron-striped kit. Insert “hot” emoji here.

‘Humom’ Petstagram, we love you, but this is a term too far.

Cassettes Even with 13 Reasons Why on its side, we’re a “no” for this revival.

‘Darling’, ‘lovely’ etc No other term of endearment than the Charles Jeffrey-approved “hen” is currently acceptable.

Handbags Instead, tuck your phone into your waistband like Eve “daughter of Steve” Jobs.

Influencer posture Sure, you’re making money, but there’s not a straight back among you. Yoga class, now.

Claret, with sky blue Sorry, Hammers. It’s now all about sky blue, with claret, as seen on VB. Seismic colour news, we think you’ll agree.
