Bouclé the fabric originates from France, so it's no wonder that the curly-tweed jacket continues to be an item the Parisian brands do so well. Schiaparelli's artistic version is an heirloom piece in the making—truly magnifique.

Isabel Marant pairs it with loose-fit jeans—a sure sign of what will be the street style adoption of this trend.

Suiting but make it casual—that seemed to be the aim for many fashion houses in Paris. The trick? Adding in a roll-neck instead of a fussy blouse. Longchamp also ticked the box for vibrant pinks, a trend that is continuing well into next year.

Nina Ricci's '70s mood set a tone that reverberated around Paris—there's more than a nod to this decade going on at many of the brands, so look out for flared-trouser silhouettes in the future.

I'm in love! I need to be invited to something fabulous at the end of the year so I can have an excuse to wear a glitzy dress covered in chain mail, pearls and crystals like these beauties from Paco Rabanne.

Even Isabel Marant—a pro at casual—has added in some very shiny, festive options. Side note: I've also seen paisley bubbling up as the next big print trend.

Purple is perhaps the most divisive of colours, but some of the world's leading designers—such as Jonathan Anderson for Loewe—are backing it for autumn. When mixed with black, yellow and blue, it looks offbeat and cool rather than frumpy.

Jil Sander's mauve coat is a really dreamy piece and would be very welcome in our current spring wardrobes.

We've been talking about it a lot lately, but PFW has confirmed it: Miniskirts and dresses are back. Coperni's chic little black number will never look outdated.

Minis came through strong on the Chanel runway, and I particularly liked the idea of wearing them with an unbuttoned longline jacket like this.

Over at Lanvin, there were very fabulous lamé versions for those nights out we're all waiting for…
