Diane von Furstenberg once said, 'I design for the woman who loves being a woman.' This statement captures what 70s fashion was all about: freedom of expression and fierce individuality. Although characterised by a wide range of different trends, this era was also marked by its sense of flair – not to be confused with flares, although those were also a cornerstone of 1970s fashion.

Fashion photographer Kevin Tachman was backstage at the Giambattista Valli show for Farfetch at this year's Paris Couture show.

We take a closer look at dominant menswear trends from London Fashion Week Men's. Explore key looks that will influence your wardrobe for ss18.

Historically the sartorial domain of Catwoman and sex shops, PVC clothes are being rehabilitated on the catwalks by designers as diverse as Lanvin and Nina Ricci, as well as appearing in the wardrobes of numerous style icons.

Whether it’s actresses wearing all black in support of the #metoo movement, or designers referencing oversized tailoring, right now power dressing is enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight.

Set any preconceptions about crochet being traditional or twee to one side: a new summer staple has moved out of the haberdashery, and innovative ways to wear crochet are being weaved.

From their rustic beginnings to the sartorial spotlight, corduroy trousers have seen a resurgence that's placed them firmly in the category of must-have wardrobe staples. 

There's been an intriguing development on the autumn/winter 2016 catwalks. Minimal shoes – particularly trainers – have worked their way into high fashion. Coach and Philipp Plein both featured white designs at their AW16 shows, while trends like normcore and sports-luxe have long popularised minimal trainers.

With the pink dresses trend exploding onto the catwalks, this eye-catching hue has proved it isn't just for Wednesdays anymore. From Céline to Gucci, models were dipped in shades ranging from dusky cherry blossom to Barbie bright.

Leopard prints have taken part in more cultural – and countercultural – movements than Madonna. Diana Vreeland once declared "I’ve never met a leopard print I didn’t like!" – and the fashion industry mostly agrees.

The catwalks have decided – for work and for play, the block heel ankle boot is the perfect sartorial choice. With its roots back in Roger Vivier’s 1965 Pilgrim Pump collection for YSL, the block heel has often been used as a way to subvert the norm and challenge the status quo.

It's all change for bathrobes right now. No longer relegated to indoors-only nightwear, robes are joining pyjamas and silky nightdress-referencing slips in moving out of the bedroom and onto the streets.

The latest street-style staple has officially arrived: khaki pants. With a sartorial presence everywhere from the biggest fashion blogs to the streets outside men’s Fashion Week, khaki pants for men and women might not seem like a particularly new idea at first glance – but this time round, they're being worn differently than ever before.

Velvet clothing has been through renaissance after renaissance since it dominated in the 90s under the influence of iconic designers like Tom Ford at Gucci and John Galliano at Christian Dior.

British heritage brands have made a comeback. Once, labels such as Barbour, Gloverall and Hunter were the exclusive preserve of the landed gentry – or at least someone who owned a couple of stables.

For AW16, designers paid special attention to the belt. Whether it was tied paper-bag-style at Phillip Lim and Tibi, or took the form of a jumper nonchalantly thrown around the waist by Phoebe Philo for her end-of-show bow, belts for women played a key role in the autumn/winter 2016 catwalks.

There are many style lessons from Sex and the City to be learned, and its dialogue with fashion is undeniably a key to the show's enduring success.

Nothing can quite beat ruffles when it comes to striking the perfect balance between feminine allure and high drama

If the Met Gala is a signifier of the current zeitgeist – and with its reputation as ‘fashion’s prom’, it invariably is – the embellished dress trend was one of 2016’s most prominent.

Hats are back, in a big way. BCBG Max Azaria and Tommy Hilfiger embraced the 90s revival by sending colourful bucket hats down the catwalk in their respective SS16 shows, while fedoras featured in collections by DSquared2 and Diesel, and Gucci showcased pillar box and pom-pom designs.

Strong feminist style icons have regularly defied social expectations, breaking fashion rules in the process. From Virginia Woolf to Angelina Jolie, women’s rights activists have transformed our world, as well as our wardrobes.

As our longest established tennis tournament, Wimbledon is a true summer highlight — for sport and fashion.

AW16 was all about ruling military fashion like a master. From Burberry’s timeless trench coats to Alexander McQueen’s dress-uniform suits, the military trend was prominent for both men and women.

Pondering how to pull off head-to-toe sequins? Wear them all over. While sparkle is scattered across the catwalks season after season, full sequin looks dominated the AW16 ready-to-wear collections of several designers.

Stylish sweatpants have evolved from ultimate fashion faux pas to catwalk classic. A symbol of effortlessness, these items are now a stalwart of the athleisure trend, with its strong links to urban style and the music industry.

Everyone needs a Burberry trench coat in their wardrobe, that's a given. But to understand why this iconic piece has become such a quintessential piece of modern fashion, it is necessary to unearth the history of the Burberry trench coat.

Since its inception 70 years ago, the simple bikini has become a summer staple. Fashion’s boldest bikini icons are now household names – just one mention of a 70s white two-piece and an image of Ursula Andress in Dr No is instantly conjured.

Lights, camera, fashion. From cult indie flicks to cultural phenomena, the most stylish films of all time make for the ultimate movie marathons.

Luxe sportswear style isn’t going anywhere. Dirk Schönberger, Creative Director of the Adidas Sports Style Division declared, “it’s a moment of sportswear in fashion,” and it seems to be a lasting one.

90s fashion was dominated by two seemingly opposing aesthetics – high-fashion models and thrift shop chic. The polarised mix of glamour and grunge was representative of the radical changes society was facing.

A key trend for spring/summer 2016 in their diminutive ankle boot form, thigh-high or at least over-the-knee women’s cowboy boots, are a footwear staple for autumn/winter 2016 and beyond as well. We take a look at the latest iterations, offering tips on nailing the look with expert precision.
