Show review: Vanessa Bruno

We've seen the print-on-print patchwork trend rear its head throughout the season but at Vanessa Bruno it was used with a bit of youthful sass. Pretty, ditzy, spriggy prints were layered or panelled with metallic silver, giving that most feminine of ideas a much-needed jolt.

The sparkle continued with pearlescent drop-shouldered jackets, silver deep V-neck mini-shifts and gold shiny buttons appliquéd to the hem of dresses. To keep it Left Bank though and avoid these glitzier pieces being mistaken for partywear (God forbid, the Bruno girl does not dress for dinner, her style is omnipresent), ragged knits were thrown over to dampen the flames.
