The Examination Hall at Trinity College Dublin has a reputation for drumming up mixed emotions. Fear, exhilaration or simple despair that leaves exam students staring at the stucco ceiling.

A catwalk presentation of 90 designer looks unfolded on a striking saffron set, revealing clues to incoming trends invading our wardrobes next season.

Exciting new labels in store include Paco Rabanne and 16 Arlington.
