Love was in the air at the S/S 09 shows: From Giambattista Valli's chin grazing collars, to Diane Von Furstenberg's floral head-dresses. At Givenchy, rose petals were scattered over the catwalk. But it was Alice Temperley who encapsulated the trend, when she named her collection 'Romantic Odyssey'. It's classic romance, with a modern twist. Be inspired by the paintings of John Everett Millais and the novels of the Bronte sisters. Think ruffles, bows, rosettes, lace and drapes, with a touch of the contemporary: a statement clutch, well cut blazer, or a fierce pair of platform heels.
