PVC leggings aren't a new trend but they're a left over item from the fetish trend from last autumn which have carried though to this season. They have been spotted on celebrities on both sides of the Atlantic. From Kate Moss at Glastonbury 2007, to Mary Kate Olsen, to
Rihanna at the Much Music awards they're always a great statement item.
Paisley is a trend that seems to have come out of nowhere. It fits in nicely with this Summer's Boho renaissance (in the form of
Bopo) and has been included in collections by Matthew Williamson, Paul Smith and Paul & Joe.
The traditional Persian fabric adorns dresses this summer for the ultimate festival chic look.
Pussy bow blouses are the ultimate in androgynous style taking the best elements of a men's tailored shirt and adding a soft feminine, playful touch with a neck-bow. This style featured on the catwalk for Autumn/Winter at Fendi and D&G.
Dolce & Gabbana gave a heritage twist to the blouse with a plaid print.
Here's Kelly Rowland sporting the trend at last week's
Sky+HD party.
I guess this shouldn't really be called a trend alert, but rather a wardrobe staple as a crisp white shirt should always be an integral part of your wardrobe. But seeing as
Katie Holmes was spotted out this week in hers I thought I'd pick the best currently available to share with you. You don't have to spend a lot on a shirt but if you do the tailoring and the fit will obviously be better.
Purple has long reigned as a Royal colour and has been popping up on the catwalk for the last few seasons. This Autumn is no exception appearing on the catwalk at Dior, Givenchy, Alberta Ferretti and Erdem (pictured on
Keira).
The colour can be worn as shoes, dresses, tops and even handbags but it's definitely not subtle so be careful you don't overload.
