This week, FashionUnited readers get an exclusive insight into the key womenswear catwalk collections that will be inspiring the industry. A cool, clean take on feminine fashion is seen in the fluid, body conscious silhouettes, softened utility pieces and pastel colours of Anya Hindmarch in London and Marni in Milan. The modern urban wardrobe is reinvigorated in New York with Lacoste's poolside infused athleisure and Acne's globe trotting traveller looks seen in Paris.

Lacoste - New York

Poolside staples are reinvented as the basis of the seasonal urban wardrobe. Bathrobe silhouettes, toweling fabrications and strapless dresses that wrap around the body refine the athleisure look through fresh, spring-like whites and brights teamed combined with neutrals for a touch of sporting nostalgia.

Anya Hindmarch - London

Anya Hindmarch fuses mathematical modernism with feminine fashion. Geometrical forms, body-con swimwear shapes and performance neoprenes are juxtaposed against soft pastel hues and whimsical embellishment, with mid-century retro feel coming from hand appliquéd leather detailing.

Marni - Milan

Marni's quirky yet sophisticated style infuses utilitywear silhouettes with a feminine modernity. Angular silhouettes are softened with trenchcoats and shirting in gentle neutrals or saturated pastel tones while belt bags are reinvented with inflated proportions and premium fabrications.

Acne - Paris

African blanket stripes, Aztec geos and exploded Indian Paisley illustrate the global vision of Acne's SS17 collection. Silhouettes reference traditional dress while slouchy oversized shapes, loose knits and frayed edge patched pieces have a comforting, care-worn feel befitting of the modern urban traveller.
