Hottest shades: pastels, especially pink and lilac. Touches of shimmering gold and endless amounts of white.
Hottest heels: high and strappy. Best of all Nicole Farhi's three-skinny-strap black patent mules.
Hottest hemline: designers showed from mid-thigh to mid-calf, although most fell somewhere near the knee.
Hottest prints: florals, from cabbage roses to spriggy blossoms.
Hottest glamour: David Fielden's searing sequin sheaths, and Benny Ong's skimpy, silk slip dresses.
Hottest model: forget supermodels 1970s showgirl Michelle Paradise returned to the catwalk to model for Philip Treacey, and showed them all how it's done.
Hottest handbag: a ladylike black leather bag carried by Vogue fashion director, Lucinda Chambers. From Marks and Spencer, for around Pounds 13.
Hottest ticket: a dead heat between milliner Philip Treacey and mad-boy Alexander McQueen.
