Antonia Paris is one burgeoning designer that we’ve been watching for a while now; her ability to inject a wow-factor into pieces that are otherwise made up of clean lines and block colours is a developed skill, and seems to be emerging as her trademark style. Last year it was all about ruffles and asymmetry; at High Fashion, High Tea 2009, we saw a collection of pieces in simple black and white, that rather made their finer detailing the focus – from cutaway shoulders, to unconventional draping, to intricate beading.

The knock-out of the collection? A floor-length white silk chiffon gown with cut-out detail that, with the right amount of confidence, will not fail to turn heads.

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.
