For spring / summer 2013 she created a kind of 60s flower-power Geisha girl: orientalism made mod and tied up in an origami bow.

Kaftan dresses streamed behind the models like brightly printed wings. Minidresses wrapped the body in unrepentant sexuality. Denim was ripped, boots were knee high and laced, tailored pieces were cut away.

And for a collection inspired by the sea, what better choice than a wet-look hairstyle? Rather than a slick, smooth combed-back style though, this was a bit textured and rough – waved like the sea itself. "It feels very light and liquid like," said Guido. And it's easy enough to create at home – especially for those days when time doesn't permit a wash and blow-dry. Find out the steps for creating the hairstyle after the break.

It's a point of differentiation: with print being so prominent this year and next, a traditional fashion house has to find a way to stand out against the myriad high street versions and give people good reason to invest. For Etro that meant taking things back to slow, time consuming processes; true expertise and true art. All the prints on Veronica Etro's Milan fashion week (MFW) runway were painstakingly hand-painted.

A live band did, giving Plein's glamed-up rocker girls something to strut too. That's no barrier to a musical instrument as a prop-slash-accessory though. And for Plein's Milan fashion week show the guitars carried by some models were just as embellished as the clothing. Click through the gallery to see some runway moments from Philipp Plein's spring 2013 show.
