The new minimalist is not here to disappear. Modernity may be her starting point, but maximalist instincts are always lurking - a flash of colour, an exaggerated proportion, an accessory chosen for impact rather than politeness. A true renegade, she treats getting dressed as a full-look proposition. Every element is considered from head to toe, but never over-controlled; the tension is the point. Clean lines are interrupted by strange shapes, sculptural bags, directional shoes and the kind of it-accessory that earns its street style moment. Look to Bottega Veneta, Phoebe Philo, Acne Studios and Loewe for her wardrobe staples. Sharp, playful and slightly defiant, the new minimalist proves restraint can still make a scene.
