Key fashion trends of the season: Fruit

Dress, £1,665 It was Stella McCartney's zingy citrus print that really sold us on the fruit trend. This double split backless silk dress, and the pleat insert version, is the dress for the summer. The print also comes in a skirt version that, worn with a simple white vest, will see you through every event in your summer diary From stellamccartney.com Photographer: Kevin Foord Fashion editors: Jo Jones and Helen Seamons Photographer's assistant: Roger Bool Model: Rachel Joy at premiermodelmanagement.com Shot on location at The Historic Dockyard Chatham , Kent, a unique maritime heritage destination with galleries, attractions, iconic buildings and historic ships to explore – open every day from 10am Photograph: Kevin Foord Top, £18 Thanks to Prada, the fashion pack went bananas for fruit print. This crop top bears more than a passing resemblance to the one we saw on the catwalk. It's only really suitable for the under-25s; those of us with our youth behind us will need to start saving for the Prada banana print skirt From asos.com Photograph: PR T-shirt, £89 This is what fashion types like to call "excellent entry point pricing for a designer piece". We realise that, costing two months' rent, the Stella McCartney dress is likely to stay on your wish-list and not appear in your wardrobe, so we give you this Paul Smith pineapple T-shirt for a fraction of the price From paulsmith.co.uk Photograph: PR Dress, £48 Again, this is not really for the over-25s, but if you are lucky enough to be in the throes of youth then celebrate that fact with a strawberry print sundress From urbanoutfitters.co.uk Photograph: PR Dress, £40 We like to think Betty Draper may have worn this for a day at the beach. All you need are bright red wedges and cat-eye frame sunglasses H! by Henry Holland from debenhams.com Photograph: PR Dress, £279 We love this bold lemon print dress. The deep V-neck and wrap around waistband give you an hourglass silhouette; the punchy bold print gives you a modern take on pattern By Moschino Cheap and Chic from my-wardrobe.com Photograph: PR Shorts, £250 There's something very coquettish about a cherry print. It's the perfect print for fun summer shorts and crepe de chine is the perfect travelling fabric. Just unpack, hang it in the shower and these shorts are good to go. Perfect with raffia wedges By Anna Sui from net-a-porter.com Photograph: PR Necklace, £8 Finish off any look with this cherry necklace. We love the cherries with denim, or a jumpsuit for a 70s feel By Redherring at debenhams.com Photograph: PR Sandals, £245 If head-to-toe fruit prints is just too Carmen Miranda for you, how about cherry-trimmed thong sandals instead? Wear with jeans or shorts for summer sightseeing trips By D&G from my-wardrobe.com Photograph: PR Shoes, £1,265 If you fancy yourself as the new Anna Dello Russo, then this is the shoe for you!
