This year they’ve turned to full-bore fantasy and that’s much better, especially with all the wearable guises that will make you eager for the first cool fall morning. We present our favourites: � �

PAISLEY GIRL: The evolution of boho pairs rich patterned blouses, skirts and dresses with menswear separates and accessories or last season’s shrunken jacket for a look that’s free-spirited but a little more pulled together.

VICTORIANA: Say no to repressed sexuality, yes to lush ornamentation. Confused? Take the empire waists, ruffled blouses and classic cameo brooches of the early 20th-century, but ignore the era’s penchant for button-up shoes and chastity belts. BALENCIAGA MODEL: PHOTO BY KEYSTONE

MILITARY: That pea coat you wore as a child gets a rethink with a crisp regimental cut. If you find the fishnet look a little too austere, pair it with a chiffon skirt for a look BURBERRY BURBERRY PRORSAM MODEL: PHOTO BY KEYSTONE CHLOE MODEL: PHOTO BY BOISIERE/SIPA both classic and of-the-moment.

Try: Marc Anthony’s Instantly Thick Shampoo or John Frieda’s new Brilliant Brunette Full Shine Volumising Mousse to give nature a little assist. � � • Beauty: Need an easy way to create this fall’s face? Makeup guru Pat McGrath, famous for creating Armani’s subtle and pricy makeup line, is now Cover Girl’s new creative design director. Replicate the looks she created for the runways of Versace (smouldering eyes and a glossy mouth) and Dior (great skin and a tawny mouth) with this wallet-friendly line. Our fall pick: Smoothwear Liptint gloss in the universally flattering shade Blushwine.

•Accessories: Jet beads, chokers, oversized frankly fake colourful jewels and rich fur trim are the accents of the season. Ditto for chunky wool scarves. And remember, it’s always easier to build texture into your footwear (or a bag, like this one from Transit) than having to strategize the exact placement of a brooch.

RUSSIAN ARISTOCRACY. Here’s your homework: Watch Dr. Zhivago while hacking the fur collar off a thrift store coat. Add fur trim to sweaters, gloves, pant cuffs, anything. Then get yourself a gigantic fur hat to boost your braving-the-Steppes cred. Against fur? Then look for embroidered embellishments instead.

HITCHCOCK HEROINE: Roland Mouret, darling of the red carpet set, does a mean 1950s-style suit (think Grace Kelly in Rear Window) that’s equally at home in this century. Essential elements include a tailored jacket and a fitted skirt. Loose undone hair softens the effect. ROLAND MOURET MODEL: PHOTO BY SMALL/KEYSTONE AVIV GIORGIO ARMANI MODEL: PHOTO BY KEYSTONE
