SPRING fashion was off and racing on Monday as David Jones showcased new trackside trends for the season.

The retail giant set the spring racing scene with a collection of contemporary tailoring, monochrome prints, bold colour combinations and lacedetail, offset with straw headpieces and sculptural fascinators.

Standout styles for the new season included feminine silhouettes from Carla Zampatti, sports luxe-inspired styles from Dion Lee and flattering kimono styles from Akira.

An emphasis on pants gave a modern edge to the traditional trackside looks with Willow featuring wide-leg styles and Bianca Spender showcasing tailored metallic mint and hot pink trouserswhile design duo Camilla and Marc opted for a high-impact white jumpsuit.

Millinery this season will see the return of the fascinator, with a focus on sculptural styles, pops of colour and floral headbands.

The Great Gatsby also continues to influence fashion with 1920s-inspired headbands with netting, feathers and sequin detail.
