Gold, silver and all the metallic hues of the rainbow are reigning supreme again this season. Designers have made use of 21st century fabrics to accentuate curves and create shimmering silhouettes that feel giddily decadent. From space age silver to molten sheaths of gold and Dynasty lamé redux, shimmer has infiltrated every trend from vintage cool to far-out futuristics á la The Jetsons

Ra meets 50's wiggle vixen in this all gold ensamble that feels like gilded heaven to wear ( Dolce & Gabbana dress, shoes, bag and earrings )

Spun silver and gleaming gold shine under the hot Australian sun ( Dolce & Gabbana earrings, Ellery top)

Poisonous green meets oxidised silver for a relaxed but utterly chic take on the trend ( Rebecca Valance skirt, Isabel Marant top from Belinda, After the Apple bag, Asos shoes, Megan Park bracelets )
