Bon Chic Bon Genre was the name of Sable & Minx's show, but there's no way any stylish Parisians could have navigated the cobblestones in the heels the models had to wear. Too high, too big, why?

It's been a recurring theme all over the globe in recent seasons, but coupled with the relative inexperience of some of our walkers, there's an ugly accident waiting to happen here.

All of which rather distracts from the clothes, which truth to tell weren't that riveting.

Floaty chiffon prints over leggings, a panelled pencil skirt and a fitted jacket and a bit of mumsy but nicely fitted denim; Theresa Brady's designs have an easy-to-wear market, but they're hardly original and the crinkly satin and some odd styling - putting a full-length emerald georgette gown over a fitted slip - did not have that certain je ne sais qois.

The inclusion of cotton stretch knits with Egyptian hieroglyphics prints jarred.
