I wouldn’t like to say I get giddy too often, not without spinning around eight times at least, but when new season Karen Walker starts to wing it’s way across the seas is there any better feeling? Ask me once it arrives when an impromptu fashion show will no doubt take place. In the meantime, here’s an introduction to Sea Monsters.

Inspired principally by Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, the red, blue and yellow palette reminds me of the wonderfully stylised and equally nautical The Life Aquatic. Add to that a psychedelia of Brian Jones wardrobe and the lead print of the season is an understandably water-based paisley in primary colours.

Inspired by Victorian sailors through print rather than armory, the Dusk-til-Dawn dress is printed in a beautiful Foil Jacquard. Get ready to get your Drake on!
