Forget brat summer, Dior's £2,500 Dracula bag has started bookworm summer
C ast your mind back to this time last year. Inspired by Charli XCX's new album, everyone who was anyone was determined to have a brat girl summer.

Hard partying has been replaced by classic literature and books are the new must-have accessory, whether you're sprawled on a golden beach or trotting in heels through cobbled city streets.
