Whether you crave sun blushed tones of orange, desire a painted frenzy of fun or admire a symmetrical polka print, this seasons trousers will be the trend to watch; cropped lengths, skinny fits and elasticated waists are just a few characteristics to look out for.
From Victoria Beckham's bonded high waist and Pinko's warming burnt orange hues to Diane Von Furstenburg's explosions of colour Cruise have leg-wear covered this season. Summer sees tailored pins teamed with towering heels and finished with a structured blazer or modishly dressed down with a loose fit blouse and statement jewellery.
Solange Knowles shows us exactly how to compliment bold printed crops with bright lips, killer heels and a glittering clutch.

Stylist's favourite Louboutin heel, the 'Daffodile', appears in a very exclusive print this season. The man himself, Christian Louboutin has his witty portrait incorporated into this eye-catching print to add an element of humour for the Summer, and as always it has his iconic red gloss sole which is now clearly recognised as Louboutin's hallmark.

As every girl knows, footwear should never be taken seriously! She must have fun and ultimately enjoyment whilst wearing her delicious Louboutin's. Heel height is nice & high, just what you expect at 160mm, however the 60mm platform gives you the impression of sky-scraper heels but without as much pain! These shoes will undoubtedly make you feel fabulous and remind you that life should be enjoyed.
The one-off multi coloured print on a satin base goes with any outfit, whether you're dressing up for an occasion or teaming it with your denims. To top this look off, Louboutin has produced a matching tote shopper in the seasonal Sybil silhouette. An easy to use, every day shape that allows a girl to throw in all she could possibly need for the Summer months ahead.
The Daffodile is available in stores now

The amount of times I’ve heard a girl say “I wish they made this for girls” when looking at boys’ clothes is a LOT more than you'd think. And, its arguable to say the least, that nothing looks better than seeing a girl dressed up in your beat up old tee or favourite shirt. Which brings us to Hypebeast who have taken the genius decision to team up with the strikingly beautiful, half-French, half-Chinese Toronto native Andrianne Ho to shoot an exclusive editorial and interview. Finding out what the Ford Models NYC and Next Management LA model thinks of her job, mixed ancestry and becoming the unofficial streetwear/menswear face of the moment, the interview reveals a woman who represents the intersection of power, independence and sexuality, all within connections to the city in a relevant way. Check out the full interview and images over at Hypebeast and you can follow Adrianne Ho on both Instagram and Twitter (we recommend you do).

Epitomising the classification of chic, Victoria Beckham never fails to deliver. Dominating essential simple silhouettes, demure shapes and soft feminine lines VB is a concrete favourite when it comes to minimalist designs. With graceful outlines, panelling and block hues Victoria Beckham's collection embodies elegance, highlighting sophistication in its most sensual form. This season we have hand selected a few pieces that celebrate the collaboration of grid lace capped sleeves and cinched in waists, replicating the signature form fitting style of Mrs Beckham herself.

One of the highlights of Sunday night's BAFTA awards was the heavenly Sienna Miller in a Matthew Williamson Autumn Winter 2013 runway dress. She brought high fashion glamour to London after rocking her punk look at the Met Gala in New York last week, this girl surely knows how to dominate a red carpet. Miller paired her aqua sequin box pleat dress with studded Louboutins and on trend perspex box clutch.

This stand out piece showed Williamson's characteristic emphasis for divine prettiness and his signature embellishment. Sienna is one of Matthew's muse's and has been a devoted fan of the brand for his 15 years.
We had already earmarked this design as one of the favourites from our selection, it will be available to buy from Cruise later this year so keep your fashion loving eyes peeled for updates nearer the delivery time.
