#1: Grab the cat

Feline-shaped, hand-sized and crafted in rich nappa leather or Perspex, Loewe’s I-can’t-believe-it’s-a-pendant pendant will go the way of Hello Kitty toys at McDonald’s. Line up and snatch yours while you can. $950-$1,150

#2: Stick googly eyes on everything

Cute factor? Yep. Unpredictable? Uh-huh. Spot on this season’s ’90s DIY look? Score. Fixer goatskin suede ballet flats, $460, Repetto

#3: Own some Bowie boots already

image

It’s a look we’ve been championing as far back as two years ago. And if you’ve still not caught on, this season’s explosion that caters to every style – Western, sexy ’70s, graphic go-go, you name it – and price point leaves you with no excuse.

#4: The succulent trend

image

If hipster displays of cacti make you roll your eyes, Cartier’s Cactus line will put the real #designinspo back into the prickly plant. Each of the 13 pieces, from a bib necklace to an inventive knob-like ring (just wedge it between your fingers), features a sculptural network of beads in gold, and precious stones such as emeralds and diamonds. The result: a whimsically modern take on cocktail jewellery that’s light despite the heft, and guaranteed to rake in as many Instagram likes. From $20,900

#5: Get on high

image

Never one to shy from paying tribute to fashion’s greatest, Marc Jacobs has created 17cm-high booties that bring to mind a punked up version of the Vivienne Westwood platform Mary Janes Naomi Campbell famously took a tumble in back in 1993. Some might call it a copycat. We call it one of the season’s best kicks. In embossed croco, suede or leather, price unavailable

#6: Take Swarovski watches seriously

image

Sure, the dial sports an impressive 4,000 crystals that remind us of what sets the Austrian costume jeweller’s timepieces apart in the first place. But when the design, dubbed Crystalline Hours, also features the brand’s first automatic movement (read: no battery needed), you know it means (horology) business. Steel on embossed PU, $2,200

#7: Take statement earrings to the next level

image

By that we mean shoulder length (Gucci’s are 18cm long) and so ornamental, it’s going to be hard to top this version of the pervasive trend.

#8: Wear your heart on your bag

image

The name of the It runway bag from Hedi Slimane’s swan song for Saint Laurent sums up everything we feel about its ’80s kitsch, and the designer’s knack for acing it: Love. Available as a clutch or shoulder bag in leather or python skin, from $1,880
