In 1908 Jeanne Lanvin designed these beautiful dresses borne out of love for his daughter and evocative of the fashions of the time.
I love this little girl with a skipping rope 1920′s style “The little Sage”.
“Anyone for croquet?” From the 1920′s, I love this, from the hair to the elegant gown.
Little red riding hood, perfect.
Carmillon I think was her name and she was rather wonderful.

Fresh from the menswear shows it seems that wine-like red and purple tones are to be firmly in place as an on trend colour for men this year. Rich burgundy, deep crimson, bold brights and dusty maroons were just a few of the red shades on show for the season. My favourites here are Salvatore Ferragamo’s quilted red sweater and Emporio Armani’s deep, reflective coat.
I love these colours. They are great for adding vibrant colour to your look, but they can also work wonders as an accent colour so this is a trend that guys everywhere can work into their outfits seamlessly. If you want to keep it casual, go for simple red pieces like the Polo Ralph Lauren shirt or jumper from Topman. For a higher fashion edge, choose rich textured red fabrics, like corduroy, velvet (like this Alexander McQueen blazer) or silk.
Red has already become one of the years best selling colours for men and there are plenty of options to suit all personalities and price ranges – From Alexander McQueen and Ralph Lauren to Asos and Topman.

With designers dragging them into the twenty first century and a plethora of celebrity fans, the choker necklace really is the comeback neck-trend to take your breath away .
Despite having one of fashions most hazardous names, the choker has made a comeback. This seasons take on chokers are simple in design, but far from subtle. These snug neck pieces are the perfect go-to accessory for adding an injection of this seasons fetish or forties trends to your wardrobe.
Like all statement jewellery, these chokers are best when worn in isolation. Avoid earrings as they will cause distraction (see Amber Rose) and think of the choker as
Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz does: as a cuff for the neck. Keep it simple and make it your only adornment. Instead of adding other accessories, experiment with textures and layering: gunmetal under a crisp white work shirt or pearls with a fur coat. For a stand-out evening look team a voluminous pearl choker with a strapless dress like Katherine Heigl or choose a contrasting metallic piece and let it mingle with your neckline like Eva Longoria and Blake Lively – perfect with an LBD.
With versions available everywhere and prices to suit everyone, the choker is set to be a must have item for your jewellery box this season.

They were all over this year’s S/S runways, and they caught the attention of all the Stylists who were fabulously perched on the rows, they proceeded to follow us from show to show, from Sonia Rykiel to DKNY, the Sherbet coloured blazer kept appearing.
Add a pink silk blazer to your spring collection and wear it casually with tailored trousers, and skirts, in cool or camel tones for a polished take on the trend. Shown here by Balenciaga.
The blazer is an essential when it comes to yourworking wardrobe, and we agree that you can never have too many. You can choose from mannish, double breasted, or tailored pieces. A stylist’s top tip to achieving the look, is avoiding head-to-toe sweet tones, and to opt for layers. This is lovely from Carven.
Another one of our favourite trends for this season is the printed skirt, From Prada’s banana skirts
to the feminine laced embroidered flowers at Erdem, the catwalk was awash with pattern.
The bold prints might look daunting, but teaming them with neutral hues and simple separates, you can achieve a sophisticated and sexy look.
With all this in mind update your office look with our pick of the best ones.

As the Leading London Personal Stylist I take people for Personal Shopping on a daily basis. This gives me a unique take on the clothes that worked the best for my clients in 2010. Here are the all star buys. The Military Jacket from Balmain, Burberry (shown here) or from high street superstar Pinko. This is a trend that is easy to wear and will last for many seasons to come.
Next on my list is the shearling jacket. This is more “fashion” than the military jacket and will date but it is fun, warm and chic to wear. Shown here from Balmain, also Burberry my high street favourite is at Emporio Armani also in black with black shearling. Nice versions are at Acne, Joseph and Top Shop.
Top of my absolute faves this year is this stunning dress from Lanvin. Look for skirts from Carven featuring the ruffle or the full dress. My favourite, beautifully cut and in the stores now is this from Aqua for £135.
Aqua
For wonderful wearable shoes influenced by the madmen 50’s style look no further than Louis Vuitton, Roger Vivier or Prada. These are Louis Vuitton Beauty pumps.
Louis Vuitton
Celine has investment buys. Look no further for drop dead style from Phoebe Philo.
Celine
Or buy a classic camel coat from Max Mara or Chloe. This is so elegant and beautiful and will last and last. Particularly suits spring colouring.
Chloe
For a great dress that will take you into Spring Summer try Gucci at net-a-porter sale..

Taller ladies suit these amazing draped styles. Lanvin, Roland Mouret all have great ones now on sale. For high street versions my favourite is at Ted Baker.
Designer collaborations are the fashion future. With music, art and fashion leaders teaming up with the high street to create cuper cool and stylized collections that often sell out in a matter of minutes. The campaign was shot with top supermodels Natasha Poly, Hanelore Knuts and Tati Cotliar.
How amazing is this T-Shirt????
H&M was one of the first high street retailers to set the trend by collaborating with the finest in fashion world. Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Madonna, Victor & Rolf, Matthew Willamson and Sonia Rykiel have all collaborated with H&M in the past creating jaw-dropping collections that attract thousands of adoring fans and often become the most coveted items of the season!
This gorgeous dress would retail for >£1200 so buy for a snip at H&M. It will suit almost anyone but will flatter taller ladies, hourglass and add curves to straight figures.
My heart was a flutter when I found out Lanvin would be making my November this year by collaborating with H&M in their annual Christmas designer collection. The full line has just been revealed on www.h&m.com and will be on the shop floors for purchase on November 23rd. This necklace pay £500 or c£15 choice is yours.
Fashion insiders are already buzzing over the key pieces such as oversized jewelled accessories and Lanvin signature dresses which will all be available at fraction of the price for those of us who not regulars on the Bond Street scene. Check out this 50′s Prom dress. Be careful if you are short go for the more streamlined ones.
The collection is said to feature high quality and craftsmanship despite the price tag, reported Artistic director Alber Elbaz “H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less.
I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public.”
