Audrey, Twiggy, Brigitte; iconic names from an iconic era.  Representing pinpoint precise eye makeup, the new definition of supermodel and the ever elegant beehive, these three ladies played an extraordinary part in defining the way we view the 60s as an era.

The waist is back. If you've been hiding under a rock recently and missed the memo, the waist has made a marked recent return to the catwalks, squeezing out beautiful hourglass from even tower blocks of fashion. A surprise it is not given the enormous success of Mad Men that swept the waist in all its glory back into fashion's frontline.

Dressing 'casually' can be a problem. Like many things, the more thought you put into it, the room there is for error.

There are moments in fashion when you recognise something that will change the landscape of our fair industry. It happened at Jil Sander in September 2010 when Raf Simons transformed neon colours into a palatable concept with that skirt. But now, the new 'it' item has arrived, storming catwalks and constructed by the real who's who in fashion. If you are looking for the defining autumn addition then this is it. Seriously. Introducing, the trouser suit.
