STRUCTURE and simplicity are two watchwords for spring, thus flamboyant prints give way to a new purity in pattern. Bold graphic checks abounded on the spring/summer 13 catwalks - quite literally at Louis Vuitton where the models emerged down an escalator entrance before walking the psychedelic citrine yellow checked stage.



A sure-fire way to grab attention this season - look to Chanel, Marni and Alexis Mabille for inspiration. To inject just a little of the trend, try styling your jeans and T-Shirt with a Marc by Marc Jacobs headscarf or a Fendi bag.
