Fringing, braiding, beading, cowboy hats, lariats even a sand-strewn catwalk dotted with cacti. Yes, western is a huge trend this season and at Hermes it was taken quite literally. Jourdan Dunn worked her poncho admirably the rest of us should probably stick with the tooled leather accessories. At Givenchy, the devil was in the detail: silver lariat-style necklaces and two-tone punched leather sandals. Balmain showed bleached and destroyed denim, plus a showstopping suede evening dress with distressed rawhide edges and bullet belts in diamante. This is a theme made for the high street: look out for suede tassle bags, fringed boots, animal skin prints and turquoise jewellery.
