The style stakes were high and the heels were higher but we aren't only talking about the catwalk.

Every season at the Brown Thomas show serious style comes in the form of each attendee.

From muted tones to avant-garde prints, from relaxed silhouettes to classic fits, it was a lesson in the power of individual styling and the beauty of a personal touch.
