School’s in for summer as varsity logos, pleated
skirts and baseball jackets fill the Pre-Fall
collections. Whoever said cliques ended in sixth
form clearly never came across these fashion
tribes. Bring It On’s Torrance Shipman-types
can look to Off-White and Missoni’s pleated
cheerleader dresses, while Queen Bees flock to
Thom Browne’s preppy two-pieces: pure Blair
Waldorf à la Gossip Girl. You’ll find the nerds
at Gucci with oversized glasses and pussybows
galore in Alessandro Michele’s last shows. And for
detention-flaunting bad girls, Alberta Ferretti’s
thigh-high sock-boots will send you straight to
the Head’s office. So make like supreme school-
girl Britney Spears (although you should ditch
the pink scrunchies for Ashley Williams hair
slides) as high-class goes class act.
