Kate Bosworth for Topshop collection

Fans of Kate Bosworth’s personal style can get a piece of it via Topshop, the actress and high street brand having collaborated on a festival-themed collection titled The Road to Coachella. No key festival piece is left out, from backpacks to bralets to boots.

See, do, read, check out: whimsy and weight

From cats in your coffee to the colour of models on your catwalk, we’re closing the week with issues of whimsy and weight. In between those two polar opposites is your chance to see the not-so-1920s fashion of Prada’s work for The Great Gatsby along with scientific proof that I am now more masculine. Read on for a fashionisers’ guide to the weekend ahead.

Aje stays rock-glam-grunge for autumn

Aje have always been purveyors of sexy, that kind of sexy that borders effortlessness and body-hugging glamour. The Australian label’s autumn / winter 2013 look book brings their love of sequins and embellishments into harmony with a grungy, sketchy plaid-style print and with ’70s rock trumpet sleeves and maxi skirts alike.

From boaters to caps: the best women’s hats for spring

Playtime at the Lacoste pool party: Coachella street style gallery

Some brands stick to being about fashion, and some present themselves as lifestyle brands. Lacoste are the latter, emblazoning everything from luxury clothes to everyday polo shirts to shoes and homewares with their recognisable crocodile logo. It makes sense, then, for them to associate themselves with the sun, fun and celebrity of an event like Coachella, hosting their annual “Lacoste L!VE Desert Pool Party” alongside…

Katy Perry: tropicana pin-up at Coachella

Leave it to Katy Perry to simultaneously conform with and defy the expectations of festival fashion. She had the bared legs and exposed midriff boxes ticked courtesy a Dolce & Gabbana print combo, but rather than erring to the side of boho, her Coachella look was something akin to vintage tropicana pin-up. More photos out the outfit after the break.

Alessandra Ambrosio: boho-meets-peppy chic at Coachella

Peppy neon pink shorts and a tie-died crop top, paired with lashings of bracelets and a bejewelled tiara: Alessandra Ambrosio gave boho festival fashion the kind of upbeat reworking that only a teenager or a Victoria’s Secret Angel could. She was partying at the Lacoste L!VE Desert Pool Party during Coachella weekend. You can see more photos of the outfit after the break.

Tailored shorts for spring: highlighting the sophisticated edge

In spring 2013 tailored shorts aren't necessarily defined as the kind you wear as part of a business suit. They're flirtatious, luxurious, and inclined to present themselves in a range of fabrics from silk to mesh to leather. The key is in the construction and cut. Work them for morning or night, everyday or holiday. Find out how after the break.

Feathers, flowers & prints: Coachella street style round-up

Much like the ubiquitous crop tops spied on many outfits at Coachella, other festival fashion staples were quick to present themselves: flower garlands and headbands, crochet and see-through lace, feathers and florals and teeny leopard hot pants. Enjoying the sunshine and the music were these festival goers, snapped by photographer Josie Withers (josiewithersphotography.com).
