Arriving at Burberry’s autumn 2012 runway, model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley keeps flared pants in the spot light as the autumn / winter 2011 season draws to a close.

To my mind, Duran Duran’s relevance to pop culture has stretched like a rubber band over the decades. But now comes their latest single Girl Panic, and it isn’t just the sound of synths we’re hearing; it’s the sound of flagging relevance being reignited with a boom. The key to bringing their new track to a much wider audience? Pulling out the oldest trick in…

If your definition of woman is a full bust and hips separated in the middle by an impossibly tiny waist, than the dictionary entry can be replaced simply with a photo of Brigitte Bardot. Odds are you’ve seen these images, many times – Bardot on the beach, near invisible waistline cinched in by a belt while her then-moussy hair spilled over exposed shoulders. The outfit…

There are plenty of ways to wear a tuxedo in 2011 (and beyond). With a relaxed air of nonchalance is possibly the most popular option right now, but it’s by no means the only one. Pure glamour is another way to go – just ask Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

It’s considered the issue of the year. It’s the September issue and it has to be big. Big on fall 2011′s fashions. Big on adverts. Big on features. Big on who it puts on the cover in order to get you to buy it, to deliver the sales figures that print media so desperately needs. Who then has US Vogue turned to in order to secure…

If who dares wins, then Caroline Sieber potentially took home first prize out of the front row crowd at Chanel’s fall 2011 Haute Couture show. While transparent from head to toe the delicate floral motifs and neutral colours kept her full lace dress – which is from Chanel’s Paris-Byzance collection – well out of vampish territory. There’s what appears to be a very subtle nude…

Black and white is something of a Chanel staple, reinvented time and again into combinations both classic and on-trend. At Chanel’s fall 2011 Haute Couture show Alexa Chung donned one such black and white ensemble. Utterly feminine with its white flounces, black ribbons, and black lace trim, she kept it simple and monochrome with black shoes and a classic black quilted handbag; and while some…

Even beyond the dystopian cityscapes, the Phillip K Dickian seediness, and Rutger Hauer’s ‘tears in the rain’ speech, there was yet more perfection in 1982′s Blade Runner: namely, Sean Young’s hair. Finding these polaroids of Young in her Rachael hair and makeup was like an early birthday present x 10. I’ve always found the mix of stern 1940s styling thrown in amoungst the futuristic decay…

A cropped dinner jacket, matching satin-trimmed shorts, and a sheer ruffled blouse that flirts with notions of the tuxedo but never quite commits. It’s a marriage of black and white, of sharp tailoring and soft sheer, done in such a way that it could only really come from the hand of Dolce&Gabbana. Eva Herzigova gets masculine-as-feminine right on the red carpet at Cannes capped off…

Brigitte Bardot‘s minuscule waist… it’s enough to make you cry.
