A WORLD FULL OF FASHION

EAST
A Japanese influence was prominent on the catwalk last year, no doubt everyone was inspired by the film "Memoirs of a Geisha" resulting in the look being hugely popular this season on the High Street. Dresses and tops in full colour or monochrome bold jazzy retro prints or floral designs are available from our online stores and the look will run on to the Autumn. Traditional Japanese prints follow a set pattern and normally combine intricate flower and fan detail. Chrysanthemum and cherry blossom designs in delicate muted colours, peach, red, pale green, grey and lilac with black as a contrast on borders. Wear Kimono style tops, Obi belts and flower embellished wedge shoes for a modern take on the "Geisha" style. Ruby red lips will complete the look.Check out Japanese fashion now buy the Tokyo Look Book: Stylish to Spectacular, Goth to Gyaru, Sidewalk to Catwalk

STAR * BUYS

Focus Fashion Bytes INS AND OUTS OF FASHION - In glossy magazines, on TV and in Film real style queens never get bored with fashion watching. For an inside view on the Fashion Industry, fashionistas flocked to see the Oscar nominated Film, "The Devil Wears Prada" starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway last year. If you didn't get to see the film the DVD is out now. The film was inspired by the original book by Lauren Weisberger. Victoria Beckham also put pen to paper and you can share her fashion style secrets when you read her book "That Extra Half an Inch". Meanwhile the American TV series "Ugly Betty", now being shown in the UK just gets better every week with some of the best lines going to Betty's young style conscious nephew. Back in London the "reality" show "Wags Boutique" teams "Better Half" and "Bows" tried their best to score each week in aid of their favourite charity! Back over to Sky Three and "Project Catwalk" saw twelve talented designers "cutting out" the opposition in a series of creative tasks and a chance to shrink or shine in front of judges, Ben de Lisi, Julian McDonald and Paula Reed, style director of Grazia magazine. The show was presented by cookie fashionista Kelly Osbourne.

WHAT STYLE?
AND THE BEAT GOES ON
What goes around comes around - 60s Monochrome, think designer Mary Quant, model Twiggy and precision bob haircuts by Vidal Sassoon. Photographer David Bailey, Model Jean Shrimpton. Graphic geometric designs, combinations of black and white for shift dresses, tops and minis - look for authentic style with white tights and white leather court shoes with chunky heels or black patent leather boots. In the 60s and early 70s shiny PVC caps and trench coats were popular in Red, White or Black. Authentic Beatnik style was a long baggy sweater or "Sloppy Joe" worn with thick black ballet tights or skinny blue jeans, winkle-picker shoes and navy or black duffle coats or reefer jackets! Early 60s youth culture included Beatniks, Mods or Rockers. No wardrobe was complete without a black polo neck sweater a craze inspired by The Beatles and the Mersey Beat Sound. UK female style icons included Lulu, Sandie Shaw and Kathy McGowen who hosted the top music show of the day "Ready Steady Go". Don't forget Cilla Black, who gave Richard Fleishman a "lorra, lorra" votes on "Soapstar Superstar" was also a big style icon of this era, her 60s hairstyle was once sported by Sharon Osbourne on the "X" Factor. Across the Pond Edie Sedgwick, the muse of 60s icon Andy Warhol, wore mod style black & white stripe jumper dress, black fishnet tights and long over the knee boots. Headgear included Baker Boy caps, Bowler Hats, Headbands & Bandanas or headscarfs worn Bridgette Bardot style. Fashionistas around the globe are eagerly awaiting the release of the film "Factory Girl" starring Sienna Miller based on the life of Edie Sedgwick. Today mix and match anything black and white including shoes, leather biker jackets, leather drainpipe trousers or black skinny jeans. Wear shift dresses or minis with ballet shoes or over the knee long boots. The stores are have a great range of long jumper dresses which can be worn belted at the waist. Crochet bags, shoes & dresses, which are now in vogue, were also popular back in the 60s and early 70s. The Bridgette Bardot Style nautical look was also popular in the 60s and early 70s and this style will be hot for Spring and Summer. Breton Stripes in blue or red worn with white jeans or white cropped trousers. Watch out for tops, dresses and accessories in combinations of stripes and polka dots. The perfect boots for this style are long white/pink Gogo Boots

Futuristic is just one of the styles for the coming season with a 60s and 70s metallic glam edge. Look out for monochrome, batik or psychedelic graphic designs, florals, polka dots and stripes for tunic tops, mini shifts and maxi sun dresses. High waisted jeans and flares are back so make sure you have a pair of high wedge shoes or thick stacked heels in your spring/summer wardrobe. As an alternative to the shift get some of Lily Allen's style with a lace or satin prom dress. In the late 50s, very early 60s girls used to wear their dresses and skirts with fabulous colourful net underskirts. The colour for the underskirt, pink, white, pale blue, yellow or red, was specifically chosen to match one of the colours in the dress. Brit Award winner, Amy Whinehouse, looked really cool recently in newspaper-print prom dress with black net underskirt. As seen at the 79th Academy Awards, celebrities are still favouring neutral, blush and flesh tones plus signature colours of magenta, purple, red and teal. Accessorise with big metallic bags, canvas or knitted totes. Watch out for big perspex bangles and leather or crystal wrist cuffs and "turbans".
