Blame the heatwave if you will, but we're seriously obsessed with holiday fashion at the moment, even if we are stuck behind our desks with the air con on.

And Mark Cain's SS19 high summer show has not helped matters in the slightest, having made us want to book a ticket to Marrakech, pronto.

Dubbed 'Le Riad Marc Cain', the show took place in Berlin this week, as you might have guessed, it had a 'Moroccan flair and focus on sophisticated prints, strong boosts of colour and vibrant pastel shades'.

Strong looks included printed halterneck dresses with matching turbans, flouncy tropical gowns and feminine and floaty maxi dresses.

In other words, every frock you would ever need for a fabulous holiday, to take you from poolside to party.

That said, there was some great coral suiting too, if dresses aren't your thing.

Collection aside, the show was a bit of an unusual one for Marc Cain, as it was Managing Director Design Karin Veit's last, as she is leaving the brand after 43 years to concentrate on her personal life.

Talk about leaving with a bang.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
