FINE LINES • Tiffany debuts a new collection, but despite its liberal use of diamonds, T1 is an approachable, modern-take on jewellery.

Back to black • The design tenets of Saint Laurent read like a definition of modern glamour: refined, timeless and precise, with a penchant for black. Return to luxurious form.
