Feathers and Plumes Trend: 2008/2009

Plaid and Tartan Trend of 2008/2009
Headed up by a plaid-packed collection from D&G (pictured left), country inspired checks, tartans and plaids were prominent on the fall runways for 08/09. While D&Gs plaids were head-to-toe, others have been more subtle, popping up in select pieces. If one thing is certain it's that colours should be traditional and subdued.

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.
She says: Vintage will never go out of style
