Alexander McQueen beekeeper hat Last season, Sarah Burton gave her models visors. This time it was a nod to her "queen bee" theme, with honeycomb hats. Ditto the shoes which, once again, dispensed with heels. Photograph: Antonio de Moraes Barros Filho/WireImage

Balenciaga rings on every finger On any other runway, this kind of statement would reek of bling but at Balenciaga it just says (rich) Parisian hipster. There were also gold charm necklaces and golden hair accessories, including a sort of backwards alice band on show. Photograph: Marcus Tondo/Balenciaga

Chanel hula-hoop bag As the Observer's deputy fashion editor Helen Seamons tweeted, this new Chanel bag is not exactly what you'd call “a public transport bag". Luckily, Karl Lagerfeld swerved such an issue and also produced mini versions. Photograph: Charles Platiau/Reuters

Stella McCartney mesh-perspex plimsoll demi-wedge This is a shoe hybrid of myriad proportions. One part mesh, one part plimsoll but with the toe sliced off and a slingback put in, all set off with a perspex wedge. She's a clever one, that McCartney. Photograph: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images

Vivienne Westwood face hearts and crowns And, finally, if in doubt next spring face-paint a heart on your face and wear it with a dressing-up box crown. If anyone questions you, simply say Vivienne Westwood told you to do it. Who's going to argue with that? Photograph: Patrick Kovarik/AFP/Getty Images
