Designers have given their fabric construction more vibrancy and movement with tiered dresses and skirts. Iris van Herpen and Alexandre Vauthier brought volume and drama to their respective runways with their exceptional creations.

Spot on

This season, polka dots are big, in more ways than one. This timeless trend, seen on the catwalks of both Valentino and Carolina Herrera, is bolder and more pronounced on a mix of skirts, dresses and jackets. No more dainty spots this year.
