Who are you going to be this season?
As spring calls, Jessica Skeete-Cross and Joe Bromley collate the catwalk muses. The question is, who is going on your moodboard:
Lady Luxury
Mood:
‘These are funky!’ comes the shriek from the west wing. Ballgowns are ironed for Monday night suppers and all things surreal are in store. Chickens are fed in kitten heels and lacquer red nails painted perfectly to play chess, as the country pile crumbles.
Shop:
MANOLO BLAHNIK, Hidrag heels, £695 (manolo blahnik.com)
FENDI, Nano Baguette charm, £830 (fendi.com)
LOEWE, silk pin dress, £2,700 (loewe.com)
GIORGIO ARMANI, resin earrings, £640 (armani.com)
HERMÈS, Birkin Faubourg tropical bag, POA (hermes.com)
Moto Mother
Mood:
Vroom, vroom. There go Rosalia’s angels. Start with the jacket (godspeed finding a good, vintage number now) then rev up with all the trimmings. Buckle lashed boots, leather micros and padded slacks — if you’re brave. Remember: ride Lime bikes, never motorcycles.

STAND STUDIO, biker mini skirt, £192 (standstudio.com)
MCM, Ella Boston bag, £630 (uk.mcm worldwide.com)
The Other Woman
Mood:
Slippery, silky, soft. If you want it, ask. Layer up and keep legs bare, Nineties Gucci girls rejoice. If in doubt go leopard. When you walk in the bar, dress like a star — yes, that means your f***-me pumps. To your place? This will all look better on the floor. Trust me.

Romantic Sad Girl
Mood:
Liberty rug, picnic flutes and two fizzy bottles of rosé. Hampstead bliss. Oxfam floral midis, strawberry printed vests and granny’s headscarves make the look. A tear in the eye to complete it. Oops. And now some sick on your shoes. Come on, you know you don’t like weed.
