Camilla Morton is an author, journalist and fashion-industry aficionado, whose commentaries on style (from her vantage as both a spectator and an inside participant) have gained her worldwide acclaim. Her latest project with Laurence King Publishing, an Oracle series inspired by the industry icons – illustrated by Anna Higgie – is providing the answers to all of our sartorial conundrums as we enter the final leg of Fashion Month and prepare to embark on the Paris 'marathon'. And so, this week, we've invited Camilla to call upon the higher powers and divine for us our daily fashion fortunes (and reveal precisely why she's picked them)...

"Christian Lacroixanother Christian – captures the joie de vivre of Paris. His runways were like a box of confectionary... Full of colour, sugar, spice and fantasy! At the end of his couture shows, I remember red carnations showering down on him and thinking that this was fashion.

Lacroix is as vibrant as the reds and clashing fuchsia pinks he uses, as exuberant as his taffeta and tulle ruffles, and the perfect oracle with which to start your second day at Paris Fashion Week – with a touch of operatic drama!"

Fashion Oracles: Life and Style Inspiration from the Fashion Greats by Camilla Morton, illustrated by Anna Higgie, is available to buy here from Laurence King Publishing.
