Imagine the corporate workplace of the future. What do you see? Pinstripe suits with midriff-baring cropped jackets? Short suit-skirts with thigh-high socks (or leg-warmers) and an injection of velvet and fur? Well according to Alexander Wang that future is now.

Rather lacking the freshness and youth of his super-sporty Spring 2010 range, this lot is a bit on the heavy and bleak side. It’s the female dandy with a futuristic twist, and a certain Gothic broodishness.

At times Wang’s layering gets intense; but the mix of toughness and vulnerability is one he manages to master most of the time.

And the velvety, thigh high, boot-covering leg warmers? We can see them having major street appeal.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
