Hear ‘florals’ and think of Mrs Doubtfire and grannies at tea dances? Think again. Erdem reimagined them in va-va-voom, form-fitting separates and razor-sharp tailoring for London Fashion Week last night. Indeed, some of the suits on the catwalk – which was staged at the British Museum – were produced in collaboration with the prestigious Savile Row tailor Edward Sexton.

An array of stars sat front row at Erdem Moralioglu’s show – no surprise given the A-list’s affinity for the label. The Princess of Wales has repeatedly called upon the London-based designer’s signature tailoring and elegant florals for her most important engagements. Michelle Obama did the same as first lady.

And the jewel in the crown of last night’s front row? Lily James, of course. The actress wore a black pencil skirt paired with a maroon bralette and a cardigan by the designer, in a modern reinterpretation of the 1950s twinset.
