Power suits are still reigning supreme for spring summer - only this season, they are couldn’t be further from the boardroom.
Coco Chanel pioneered women’s trousers in the early 20th century as practical and entirely chic and some 100 years later, designers are still reinventing the iconic two-piece.
For SS19, tailoring has been given a colourful makeover, with the classic combo more cocktail and less corporate.
At the recently revived Escada, suits came in warm shades of joyful mimosa, while gorgeous creations in citrus shades were marched down the catwalks of Balenciaga, Roksanda, Peter Pilotto and Boss.
