Models-off-duty: it takes a two-piece
Hotel pools and ocean views. Follow the lead of Bambi and Dilone and float on in the bikini that speaks to you. There are no rules.

Let’s take it back to the two-piece. Paired ensembles were on high rotation on the SS 17 runways. We always wanted a twin.
Large, small or curly. Gold or silver. Whatever the style, SS 17 sought after statement-making hoops. Round and round.
The time for that pre-Christmas workout is now. Whether it’s a beachside boxing session á la Georgia Fowler or a team effort as per Adriana Lima, be sure that you’re dressed to break a sweat.
Think khaki and tan, pockets and practicality. SS 17 spoke to the avid traveller, destination unknown.
Free flow. From Dion Lee’s tonal silhouettes to Céline’s soft dreams, SS 17 saw full skirts take centre stage.
They’re back and fresher than ever. Make like Nicole and Erin and shade your face with a felt fedora. No hat no play.
Go wide and go long. SS 17 saw oversized blazers take over the runways: for the power dresser in all of us.
From Christian Dior’s feminists to the hustlers at Hood By Air, SS 17 proved that slogan tees are a sure way to get your message across. Speak to me.
There’s no such thing as too simple. Ripped, rolled or cuffed: make like Maartje, Iman and Bambi and be casting-ready in your plain white tee.
From one extreme to the other. Along with oversized offerings, SS 17 brought forward miniature bags to hold little more than the most essential. The tinier the better.
From Burberry Runway to Balenciaga, and Bottega Veneta. SS 17 saw strong emphasis on the belted waist.
Worn to be seen. Make like Lily and Tilda; forgo wires and put your bralette on show.
The 90s revival. SS 17 saw soft and sultry slip dresses breathe fresh air. Barely there.
Come into my office. Not a style to be kept in the realms of business casual: the SS 17 runways saw designers shortening the shirtsleeve. A new everyday essential for when the heat is on.
Make like Taylor and Jess and find your summer high in a top that says off-duty. Subtle skin.
Be inspired by Off-White and Preen by Thornton Bregazzi; let your psychedelic side run free. Tie-dye was in full flight for SS 17.
Think bigger: large scale and oversized bags took over this season. From Céline, to Loewe, and Balenciaga of course, SS 17 was built for more.
We’re holding on to what’s golden. Make like Langley and Steffy and multiply your chains.
Miu Miu, Missoni and more were swim fans for SS 17. This season, bikini tops are a staple to be taken far beyond the beach.
