The girlie ruffles are gone, the shoulder pads never came back out of the closet but lace has emerged as one of the biggest trends this winter.

Featuring heavily in all the major catwalk shows and within the collections of the big design house, each designer had their own unique take on trend. 

Prada interpreted the look with soft feminine silhouettes, Stella McCartney chose pretty and demure, while Givenchy and Balmain’s collections were hard edged and dramatically gothic. 

But whichever look you choose for yourself, lace adds a sexy feminine twist to even the most boring items of clothing.   It’s sophisticated, elegant and incredibly seductive, so grab the heels and the lip gloss then let your imagination run wild….   X

We’re all definitely back in black this season, from the likes of Rihanna to The Pussycat Dolls, all the hottest celebrities are stepping into the party season with a black dress or two in their wardrobe. 

The Autumn/Winter collections went crazy for the club scene with edgy hedonist looks inspired by the glam nightlife, decadent interiors and the beautiful people who live in this world.

This seasons black dresses added interest with layering, texture and embellishments.  From beadwork to embroideries and then all the way back again. 

As all the celebrity stylists know, there’s nothing you can’t do with the black dress and there’s definitely nothing more flattering to be photographed in to hide the sins of the festive seasons over indulgences!  Dress it up with the hottest heels you can find, wear with jet black eyes, brightly coloured lips and most of all lots of attitude!

Let the party season begin ladies!
