After David Bowie arrived at the V&A museum, and Madonna arrived at the Met Galla, the world seems to have gone into a punk frenzy. Even if safety pins and ripped fishnet stocking aren't to your taste, classic versions of kilts and school uniforms are a look for the less-punky to follow the trend this winter. Whatever spectrum of the punk-o-meter you are and whether you remember it's first cycle or not, Punk is certainly not dead.

I have worked with some wonderful bridal parties this year each with their own journey and unique take on the big day, which brings me to my first couple, Jo and Mark who first approached me in April.

Polka dots have always been a whimsical, fun, flirty print that continuously appears and disappears in our wardrobe. All the best females have been seen dotting-up at some point of their paparazzi's career. Marilyn did it and Kate did it, but more importantly the catwalks are currently doing it.

Lady Gaga is back on the radio, so we're putting our paws up. There is a much needed discussion for the amount of Fur that we saw in the Fall/Winter shows for this year. Oversized and over-rageous MORE IS MORE. This trend is not for the house-cats. We've moved up in the food chain and our coats have gone wild.
We love Lindsey Wixson's August photoshoot for Vogue Brazil. Alongside her furry friends, Jacques Dequeker captures Wixson in a huge range of looks that we have matched the fabric to. Click on the fabric thumbails for more information. Happy inspiration!
