Trend to watch: Gold rush

A timeless accessory that has been around since Coco Chanel first fashioned it in the 1930's the gold cuff is once again having its moment. It manages to balance making an impact with versatility, with a real outfit-changing quality.

Far East Movement

The trend started on SS13's catwalks and now we're all aboard the oriental express as the colours and prints inspired by Asia have been translated onto our high street. I'm not recommending any more than a touch of this trend but the striking ornamentation is an easy way to add opulence to any look.

The highlight: Prada Fall 2013

With the constant stream of shows from all the fashion weeks it's hard to keep up and near impossible to document them all but Prada's show in Milan was too good to go unreported. It was distinctly Prada with the belted waists, oversized bags and overcoats but this time round it seemed more wearable - perhaps due to the sense of dishabille featuring layering and dresses slipping off shoulders, which really shouldn't work but somehow did. It all came together perfectly, leaving me with an unrealistic glimmer of hope that if I were to rock the dishevelled wet hair look I might achieve the same sexy yet sophisticated, glamorous yet effortless look that this collection mastered...

Anya Hindmarch: 'Cascade' creation

These days it's as much about the show as it is about the collection and each season has to outdo the last but Anya Hindmarch has provided my favourite spectacle from LFW so far. Standards were set high from her first runway show, which featured a working sweet factory and then we moved on to a moving carousel for SS13 so it was inevitable that Hindmarch's AW13 was going to be revealed in an impressive manner but little did we know that it was going to involve all this lot:

And this was the amazing result:

Now the question is, how can she topple this creation for the next show?
