Glamorous golden pieces filled the AW22 runways where designers such as Altazurra, Tory Burch and Ulla Johnson channelled the excitement and energy of a night on the town.

Gold fabric can be distracting (and dare we say tacky) if not styled properly. Wear head-to-toe, or pair a gold or lurex top with classic denim. We’re taking style tips from Mr Armani’s pared-back Fil D’Or (or Golden Thread) collection for SS23, which was complemented with polished skin, pinky lips, simple hairstyles and a golden dot on each eyelid.
