Preppy is cool. Admittedly it has been for sometime, but the popularity of Gossip Girl has done the look no harm. Seeking to capitalise on it is designer Christian Francis Roth with his Spring-Summer 2009 collection for label Francis.

Or is he?

The sexed-up-school girl look featured in Gossip Girl oozes from his two looks left and middle; but what’s with the last? A parody? A wink? A nod? A swipe?

Feel free to let us know Christian.

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.
