Amy Adams in Valentino.
Amy, the American Hustle actress, went for a mixture of classic and current by choosing a two-tone Valentino dress made of a wine red silk crepe top with a bright red silk chiffon skirt.

Naomi Watts in Tom Ford.
Naomi wore a stunning and simple Tom Ford goddess dress made from lamé fabric. This style of dress requires just 1.5 - 2 metres of lamé fabric.

Kate, who was raised in Croydon, London, has been one of Britain's biggest fashion exports and is celebrated around the world for her work with photographers including the legendary Mario Testino and has appeared on the cover of British Vogue over 30 times!
Dries Van Noten used metallics, layers and textures to create this amazing collection. Layering is always worth the thought and extra time because when used, it can add drama and uniqueness. We love all of these metallics and luckily we offer plenty of options for you to get this look. Pleat before sewing to get the Dries look.

Elie Saab didn't disappoint with their famous feminine traffic-stoppers. Fabric on the perfect evening dress should catch your eye long before you see the seams and fastenings. Be sure to only ever pick fabric you fall in love with when wanting that special something. You'll know it when you see it.

Ah, the ambassador of fun! We saw more colour at Galliano than usual this season and we LOVE it. We especially like any 3D textures for fun, imaginative garments. And we LOVE the drama.

If you're going to purchase one piece of fabric for Spring 2014, it is starting to look like metallic would be the best investment. We have seen it in all sizes and shapes, the new technologies revolving around the shades of metallic are incredible and we can't wait to see what our customers make with these amazing living lamé fabrics.

Famous for his excellent use of colour, the Indian designer is always inspirational. This season he used fruity accessories, and crazy 'party' prints as I like to call them. We love these dresses for their floaty, flirty and fun attitude. Wear any time, any occasion. We should all have a printed something in our wardrobe.

At c, we were pleasantly delighted to be reminded that white isn't just for the Brides! It's romantic and pure and charmingly innocent. To get this look use embellished lace and wear it with minimalistic outerwear. Don't be afraid to appliqué more embellishments on your chosen fabric -more is more!
We adore texture and have a huge range of amazing Cloques of all shapes and sizes. By default, we tend to use it a lot in dresses and skirts but why not have a tailored pair of shorts or trousers in Cloque?!
McCartney was doing things 100% her way this season and the reception was very positive indeed. As we accept that the fashion circle is bringing the 90's silhouettes back, we start THINKING about how to embrace the 'nightie' look for next spring. At Stella McCartney, they made that easier for us as we were thrown some gorgeous midnight dresses with lace panels and straps of silk.
As per usual, the tailoring at Saint Laurent didn't disappoint. In the female suiting world, these are the geniuses to follow. Again, we are looking to the 90's for deep plunging necklines but keep those shoulders powerful, and trousers fitted. See suiting in the blog for how to choose the right wool, silk-wool blend or silk wool mikado.
Layering is fun and makes any outfit look a bit more stylish and put together, but unfortunately in the Spring when it's hot and muggy the options are significantly slimmer. Netting has been used as of late but we love the drapey technique at Celine. Apply embellishments around the hem for extra floaty effects. Sexy but modest. News that next Spring Summer 14, there will be a lot more flesh on display.
