<p><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Although
shopping in this area is probably the best in London, I wouldn't
feel that I was providing you with the ultimate in fashion gossip
if I didn't let you in on a few secrets of Fashion Week and what
to expect to see in the shops in six months' time.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">The
shops are filled with colour and rich clothes at the moment and
this looks set to continue into your Winter wardrobe. Fashion week
was the brightest I have ever seen it. Bright rock chick tops are
the name of the game teamed with denim, goatskin, and leather.</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><br>
Not everyone had gone for bright, though, and the other feeling
coming through this season is one of luxury and expense. Fashion
is 'moneyed-up' at the moment. Robert Cary-Williams was one of the
designers whose collection was 70% leather and tailoring, but he'd
opted for neutral colours. His collection mixed white silk with
nude leather tailoring exposed in perhaps the most underground show
on the London Fashion Week schedule this season, literally. It was
held in the cavernous depths of an East End Goods Yard, where the
guests assembled in a reconstructed Japanese garden to munch their
way through a plate of Sushi before the show started. Personally
I was more interested in the punch, thanks to the Antarctic climate
of the venue. How do those near naked models do it?</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><br>
I bumped into a number of our local designers displaying their Autumn/Winter
collections at Fashion Week. Lucy Barlow had, as ever, a fantastic
array of hats. The Jacksons have also performed their usual miracles
and their collection is centred on celebrating the lives of two
fantastic women of the 20th century, Marianne Faithfull and Marlene
Dietrich. The result is a selection of pieces that epitomise modern
ladylike chic and will happily remain at the forefront of your wardrobe
for a number of seasons. If you fancy something slightly more daring,
head to Olivia Morris for her 'kitsch couture' bags. Must-haves
include a patent leather bag with studded shoulder straps and a
fuschia tartan saddle-shaped bag with chain & locket handles. Her
shoes are elegant but seductive.</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><br>
Anyway, back to shopping for this summer. Over the last five years
we have gradually worked our way through revivals of fashion from
the 20's, 30's, 50's, 70's ��no-one ever thought the 80's could
possibly come back into fashion; in fact, the thought of it sent
shivers down my spine. Huge shoulder-pads, fish net stocking and
anything and everything that could possibly qualify as being vulgar.
But the inevitable has happened and this season in comes the 80's
revival. Strangely enough, it's not so bad. Apart from the pussycat
bow blouse which I refuse to adorn even if I was offered an Audi
TT to do so, it's worked. It's sexy, it's sassy but there's nothing
vulgar about it at all. Obviously, be careful not to get too carried
away with the whole 'expose-a-label-whenever-possible' look, but
do go for hot pants and heels teamed with well cut short jackets
or shirt and big shades. If you don't think hot pants are for you,
go for the pencil skirt or brightly cropped trousers options instead,
and accessorise like crazy. </font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">The
market is selling glittery colourful bracelets at a fraction of
the cost of the High Street shops and if you want to splash out,
the safety-pin telephone wire covered bracelets from Nigeria at
J.W. Beeton's are particularly original.</font></p>
