Only a few days ago did I implore Hayden Panettiere to lengthen her hems. Though I wasn’t necessarily so blunt at the time I reasoned that micro-mini dresses didn’t necessarily make one sexy, in fact they can make a girl look dumpy.

And the proof is in the pudding.

Stepping out at the Alfred Mann Foundation Gala, Panettiere wore a floor length gown from Kaufman Franco that would almost be a part of the one-shoulder fashion trend if it weren’t for the superb silver, shoulder detailing.

Silver Ferragamo clutch in hand and with bold, red lipstick, Panettiere cut an elegant figure at the event. Far more elegant, and far sexier. After all, sexiness isn’t about showing off too much flesh and one’s flaws.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
