Last night outside Claridges Elauan and Lana met. She was holding her Mulberry bag, the "Del Ray" incidentally named after her and they had a lovely conversation. They exchanged compliments. "Your hair is beautiful" said Lana, "You're lips are hot" said Elauan and then they went on their merry way.

We're quite often blinded by taste when we see a London skyline on an item, so immediately loved this new City collection from Gucci which features Tower Bridge, The Gherkin & The Houses of Parliament on a range of bags, sneakers & ipad cases. Available from May!

The Saturdays Mollie King is stepping up to the fashion plate, pictured on the right with Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts (check her out!) at the Mark Fast show & wearing a gorgeous Micheal Van Der Ham dress to the designers AW show. We suggest Frank invests in some Wintour style glasses.

Diesel Black Gold showed in New York last week. Amongst the divinely dressed ladies in tough leathers & shots of coral & electric blue were two gorgeous men in their AW finest, dressed appropriately for a New York winter. Black leather hoodies, trousers & thick furs the order of the day.

Victoria Beckham has been appointed International Ambassador for Britain's GREAT Campaign. Pictured here with Anna Wintour about to jump on a tube emblazoned with the campaign's branding in New York's Grand Central Station. Confusing? Yes. Do we question it? No.

While we wait for the images to come in from the official photographers of boys happily walking around the venue in their underwear, here's a nice pic we took of Battersea power station lit up. In honour of Bjorn Borg's latest range of glow in the dark undercrackers.

Yesterday afternoon, post one shoot & pre another we popped into one of our favourite department stores Liberty, to check out their latest collaboration with uber hip brand BStore. We love that the prints have taken a turn for the masculine in darker colours & abstract prints. Our fave pick though would have to be the tassled shirt that though it may technically be womenswear, the designers assured us we'd look very cute rocking it with a tee underneath. We believe them!

We're a few days late with this we know but holy shit Adele looks great in the new issue of American Vogue.

Stripes! Gold! Nice hats!

If Jeremy Scott's collection was a foodstuff then it would have to be a bag of Skittles, with added Bart Simpson faces.

A great video by Christian Oita for our latest shoot starring Jonatan Frenk & styled by Ingo Nahrwold. Jonatan wears Hugo Boss.

We're getting excited for Bjorn Borg's party next week which promises a 'River Thames 4-D expierience' The video below is a little teaser but we'll be sure to travel to SW11 to see what it's all about!

Everybody say hello to Tomas Skoloudik, who has become the newly appointed 'face' of Emporio Armani's Underwear & Jeans campaign's photographed by Giampaolo Sgura.

And we thought the staff at Shoreditch House looked good in their Aubin & Wills! Hentsch Man, purveyors of suave mens separates have been invited to dress the staff at Tom Aitkins latest restaurant at 43 Elystan Street. Bus boys look relaxed & stylish dressed in grey & blue shirts teamed with chinos and jeans and for managers, deconstructed jackets with maroon chinos and pale blue shirting are the order of the day. & very nice they look too. We won't hold our breaths for a McDonalds/Prada collab though.

Well done Nevs for snapping him up. If he was on Take Me Out we would definitely keep our lights on (No higher compliment surely?)

For anyone lucky enough to be in New York this week for fashion week (or a holiday, whatever, we aint judgin') then we suggest popping to the Jeremy Scott pop up to have a look at the SS collection, where you'll find a wealth of garish garments.

In Copenhagen to be exact. Jonny Woo was there.

Whether a gift for a partner or a treat to yourself, Offspring in Selfridges are offering shoppers the chance to make yourself a customised pair of All Stars. Simply choose the print, the amount of coverage you require & a few minutes for the transfers to take hold.

The second collection of Kris Van Assche's collaboration for Eastpak is soon to be selling on Coggles.com. Love the navy & fuschia colour combo.

We love Misa (of M&P models fame) Love his doe eyes. Love him in his pants for Frankie Morello's underwear campaign.

We've long loved the work of Christopher Shannon & look forward to his shows every season as his unique brand of printed sportswear continues to flourish. To buy as much of the collection as we would like would render us penniless & hungry. So thanks to the fashion Gods at Asos, who are now stocking his 8 piece capsule collection Kidda, a piece of the Liverpudlians line will be available to all. The range features printed vests, tees and jersey pieces in a signature chain print. Prices from £48, Available end of Feb asos.com

We love ourselves a bit of Triple A, & even more so when leopard print features so heavily. The latest drop which has just landed in stores is inspired by Camden, Sex Pistols & punk. Expect leather jackets, cigarette pants & metallics aplenty.

Worried that we may have to stay up til gone 3am, us & thousands of other confused Twitter users reward for staying up way past our bedtimes was the spectacle of Madonna's Superbowl performance. She wore Givenchy. We loved it.

God bless our models who've had to endure various climates, states of undress & questionable food.

Another day of shooting done. Lovely weather we've been having! Photography by Fashion Editor Elauan Lee

Excuse our tardiness with website updates, those of you following us on Twitter (@AttitudeStyle) will know that we're away shooting for our next few issue. A few videos to keep you entertained in the meantime. Photography Elauan Lee

If for some obscene chance of luck you're off to sunnier climes this week then we whole-heartedly endorse a pair of Marcello Conti trunks. Perfect for sun lounging.

In a sea of greys & blacks, the Bernhard Willhelm show can always be counted on to bring a vivid injection of colour & fun into Paris fashion week. Models paraded (& high kicked) around a Parisian salon in a dressing up box of colour & print. But would they wear it in Wigan?

Attitude Magazines Fashion Film from Issue 214. Out now! Photographer Philip Riches, Stylist Frank Strachan Model Arran Sly @ Models 1

Diesel’s debut in Milan was a typically dark affair, but they kept it fresh with an abundance of clashing textures. Not only stepping up the style stakes; there were also a host of celebrities on the front row including Stephen Dorff and Attitude ‘fav’ Luke Evans.

Sale season is still in full steam. Pick up a bargain or two, surely you've booked some sort of holiday by now?

A brightly lit school set-up. Models in various guises, from gawkish boys in specs & sweaters to rebels decked out in leather, every school stereotype was in attendance. Even the gym teacher made an appearance.

As with Prada's show, the military trend is dusted down, cleaned up & re-worked as a Russian Tsar's weekend wardrobe. Frogging was omnipresent on bomber style jackets & frock coats with a heavy dose of velvet & silk pyjama. Reminded us of D&G's FW 09 collection. The first sign of the brand's merger perhaps?

If you're the sort of person who thinks it's a good idea to spend a couple of hundred quid on your kids then Fendi's AW collection is sure to tempt you!

Thanks to Twitter we got a little glimpse of Jonathan Saunders AW collection. Thanks technology, you're not all bad.

You can always rely on Burberry to take a staid old British design & transform it into something completely lust worthy. Their latest collection was no exception, as models paraded down the catwalk clutching umbrellas with duck handles dressed in a gorgeous colour pallette of mustard, khaki and burgundy. Quilted jackets, golfing jumpers and animal prints rounded off the lord of the manor theme. We love.

Supremebeing, long loved for their sport inspired streetwear release their first drop of SS later this month with the very handsome Dudley O'Shaughnessy as the face of the brand. The latest collection features nautical details such as hand-drawn stripes in washed out shades of blue, red & yellow. The brand's two big trends for the season Faded Future & The Wash perfectly describe a whimsical collection with a tough street edge.

For anyone who salivated over Jil Sander's last citric flavoured AW collection this would come as a bit of a shock. For black was pretty much the only colour on display. Black leather, black PVC, black accessories, black tailoring. There may have been a hint of a dark grey suit. The dinosaur jumper was of course our favourite piece.

We're big fans of Marni here at Attitude, We love the subtle touches & brilliant use of prints. The AW presentation didn't disappoint with a host of wearable styles. Oversized check, navy, loose-fitted coats & fur were all present & correct & perfectly whetting our appetite for the forthcoming H&M collab. Love Robbie Wadge at D1 modelling too.

The Prada show this weekend was a little more subdued than the past few seasons that's for sure. A mish-mash of Russian military influences dominated with army style badges adorning the lapels of trenches & double-breasted jackets. Colours were muted with grey taking up a large proportion with subtle hints of purple & red. The strangest part of the show was the appearance of various celebrity faces on the catwalk with Adrian Brody, Gary Oldman, William Defoe & Tim Roth invited to close the show. We're just not sure why.

As per it was the ladies that got to show in their gowns at last nights Golden Globes, but the guys made the effort too. Take Mark Selling for instance, who looked very suave in Versace.

A DSquared2 campaign always necessitates a bevy of bronzed beauties, some clothing & an idyllic setting. This season the gang relocate to a roadie festival in the 1970s (possibly) shot by Mert & Marcus. You gotta love an outfit that comprises American flag trunks and a leather jacket.

The fashion week hoopla has begun, for menswear at least. Starting today in Milan before coming to Paris next week with the women's shows following shortly after. One of the first to show was Valentino. Models marched down the parquet floor dressed elegantly in trench coats, leather jackets & voluminous crombies in deep shades of burgundy and emerald. Each look finished with leather gloves & man clutches.

Yes he's cute & yes his new veneers are brighter than the sun but we can't forgive him for wearing a onesie as outerwear. We can't not look at his crotch. & not in a good way.

We love how Ben Sherman have cleaned up their act these past few years, taking the brand back to it's roots, modernising themselves & not being scared to step away from the polo shirts of yore. Their Plectrum stores are a site to behold too. Well done everyone!

Those high-heel wearing dance maniacs are at it again. Love 'em.

We know the gays love for Vivienne Westwood is unmatched. So when an email dropped into our inbox informing us of her latest collaboration with fancy department store Fortnum & Mason we licked our lips with joy. Especially when there's chocolate involved, even better when it's egg shaped. The beautifully packaged boxes house a handcrafted egg filled with an assortment of truffles. Before you email us to tell us it's too early in the year, we've been getting emails about Fathers Day (& that's in June!)

We wish we had a car.

Strolling down Bond Street, We couldn't help taking a photo of Mulberry's seaside display. Love their oversized cornets & chip wrappers.

Love this DSquared camouflage jacket from Selfridges (£680 eek!) Love Luke Stevens from Select Models whose wearing it. Photographed by Kevin Morosky, Styling by Frank Strachan for Attitude

We do like to get ahead of ourselves sometimes. So while these next few weeks may call for a thick woolen scarf to protect you from the elements, come spring, your neck will be crying out for something a little less suffocating. Take these scarves from Ahilya for example, a collaboration with the spa Cowshed, simple enough to pair with any outfit while adding a bit or warmth without . Prices from £65 www.cowshedonline.com

Despite it only being January, the Olympics hype is now in full swing. Paul Smith has joined in the fun with the Isle of Man Post Office by designing a range of postage stamps. The stamps are now on sale priced at £3 and will be available to buy from Paul Smith shops globally. Prices range from £3 for a miniature sheet to £50 for a hardback collector’s book, available from Paul Smith shops and online at www.paulsmith.co.uk.

Longchamp have once more collaborated with the ever reliable Jeremy Scott on two new bags. We've got a special affection for the Paradise design but at a not unreasonable £190 we'll just take both.

We were completely enamoured with Riccardo Tisci's latest collection for Givenchy, which was a complete turnaround from the gothic stylings of his AW show. Loved the brightness. Love the moodiness.

Having already wowed us with his graduate show & last season at LFW, Shaun Samson's first collection, inspired by Peruvian blankets is now available to buy at Selfridges. Our personal fave has to be the printed shorts. Killer.

Mathias Bergh is the new face (& body) of Tom Ford's SS collection. Looking good enough to eat in the designers distinctive brand of sumptuous tailoring, lesuirewear & birthday suits.

While the gossip mags cooed over Kate Middleton in Alice Temperley (such a fashion risk taker) on the red carpet last night for the premiere of War Horse. We were busy admiring Benedict Cumberbatch in a Louis Vuitton tux. Loving his work in Sherlock at the mo.

For their latest fragrance Dolce & Gabbana The One Sport. Fin.

Brutus have collaborated on a line of limited edition t-shirts with illustrator Luke Dixon and is inspired by Brutus' latest campaign. & priced at a not unreasonable £20!

Decked out in a Louis Vuitton pre-SpringSummer suit. Gerard Butler was looking mighty fine in London last night.

Despite the festive season being all but over we've still got a bit of room for a bit of sparkle in our lives. Take Christopher Kane's Spring/Summer collection which we can't get enough of, the perfect occassion for wearing such a garmet however, eludes us thus far. Photography Cameron McNee, Grooming Caroline Shuttleworth, Robert Watts at Select

H&M are on a role at the moment, stripping our favourite guys down to their smalls. River from Elite London strips down in a very fetching (& not at all ostentatious) silk dressing gown & matching trunks.

A few more pics dropped into our inbox this morning & we thought it best to share them. The collection, consisting of briefs, boxers, vests, long-johns & lounge wear will be available nationwide from 2nd February.

We love Filippa K's sun dappled new campaign for the Scandinavian brand's Spring Summer 2012 Collection. Shot by Alasdair McLellan and featuring Roch Barbot.

Launched on the 2nd February across the land (& just in time for Valentines Day) The ad campaign features the man himself as model & muse & why the heck not?!

The news that Ab Fab returning filled us with dread if we're honest. Series five was lacklustre & the Christmas specials weren't a patch on the genius of series one to three (& to some extent series four) However we were pleasantly surprised with what we saw this time round. The first episode went back to basics, focused on the main characters (though Bubble's had her day) and felt up to date. The second episode felt a bit more forced, old jokes were shoe-horned in & too many celebrity cameos diluted the fun. However all in all it was good to see the girls back, if only to see Patsy confuse a Stella McCartney purse with a phone. (We've all done it)

H&M & Versace release their Cruise collection at the end of this month as an online exclusive. Consider it to be a little palette cleanser between the metaphorical slap round the face that was the first Versace/H&M collection & the subdued designs of Marni's collection in March. The 14 piece collection for men switches the palm tree prints of last year for a more restrained colour palette of blues, black and white with the faintest touch of Versace gold. hm.com

Dolce & Gabbana's keeps it in the family once more for it's latest SS campaign, Madonna must have been out back scrubbing the floors. Shot masterfully by Mariano Vivanco.

Though perhaps more suited to a stroll through the Italian Riviera, these rather wonderful printed scarves from Prada come in two sizes 60 x 60 cm £200 and 90 x 90 cm in prints pilfered from their SS collection. priced £250 www.prada.com

Thanks for asking. Special thanks to Cantaloupe in Shoreditch for accommodating us.

These charming chains are brought to us by the geniuses at 'My Charm Offensive' and are the perfect gift for getting back at a frenemy or of course you could do the nice thing and go for traditional Carrie name necklace. It's the classic personalised gift and so fun, you can have any word or phrase you want, up to 10 letters at www.mycharmoffensive.com.

We love ourselves a bit of Percival, the British brand that started two years ago by a man named Chris, with a little help from the very dapper & not unattractive Rick Edwards.The brand opens it's Christmas pop up store this week in London's Covent Garden for three weeks. Tomorrow from 2pm Rick himself will be maning the tills. So if you're in the area and fancy yourself some gentlemanly tailoring with a twist get down to Earlham Street & perhaps you'll be served by a famous face. www.percivalclo.com

We anticipate wanting to dress up as Jay Gatsby & frolic around our house pretending we're hosting an expensive soiree. Actually that's a lie. We'll pretend to be Cary Mulligan, not even as her character Daisy Buchanan. Just Cary Mulligan.

Annoyingly we had been recently searching Ebay for the perfect Buffy The Vampire Slayer t-shirt (such was our love for it circa 2001) & now we see Cher Lloyd has got there first, as it features heavily in her new video. Props to her stylist for outbidding us.

We had to laugh when we saw that one of our favourite designers Christopher Shannon had taken to Facebook to declare this 'lovely' red jumper, currently on sale on Ebay, as not his. & there we were thinking it might have been an AW preview.

We just gasped when we saw this on Oki-Ni. £170 for so much loveliness. It's from Comme Des Garcons who have done some pretty brilliant coin purses in their time. We'd love it if everytime we opened it, it sung, but that's just us. oki-ni.com

For the vast majority of us who'll be chained to our desks until Christmas eve, A spot of online shopping is a gift from God. Take your pic from some of online shopping haven LN-CC's accessories http://www.ln-cc.com

We've long been fans of the work of Matthew Zink, whose Charlie swimwear has been seen in our very own fashion pages. We were very chuffed too when these pictures of the designer himself posing with model Matthieu Charneau dropped into our inbox. charliebymzstore.com Photographer Exterface Studio http://exterface.com Designer in photos: Matthew Zink www.facebook.com/CharlieByMZ

We've loved her for as long as we can remember & are thrilled to see her gracing the cover of American Vogue for January. Good work Wintour.

Ten jackets by ten artists. To celebrate the DIY ethos, Attitude asked a selection of artists and designers to hand-customise a vintage jacket exclusively for us. & here is the accompanying video. Photography by Duane Nasis. Styling by Elauan Lee. Models Reece Sanders at FM Models and Tom Barker at Elite Models London

Like all good pushy mums, she's starting them young.

A new label is always call for celebration & we do love ourselves a pun brand name. Comprising of smart brogues, tasseled loafers & sporty sneakers, currently stocked in Topman, Dispair are sure to be adorning fashionistas feet across the Land.

We love ourselves some Robert Storey, a super hot and supremely talented set designer, whose latest work sees him creating installations in the windows of Nicholas Kirkwood's Mount St store. You can check out more of his work, at www.storeystudio.com He's handsome too.

If you are lucky enough to be in Selfridges Oxford Street today or tomorrow than we insist you pop onto the underwear floor to catch a glimpse of models dancing to Abba dressed in Bjorn Borg's latest collection (between 12 & 4). It has to be seen to be believed.

Eager shoppers queued overnight for the launch of the very first Australian store for Topshop and Topman. Similar pandemonium ensued when Zara opened it's first store earlier this year. Creative Director of Topman, Gordon Richardson was present for the launch and as a result missed a dinner with us, sadface.

Last night we popped into Soho for an exclusive look at the newly Weekend Offender store on D'Arblay Street. There were ribs, there was beer. There was an after party in an swiss ski chalet themed nightclub.

A few weeks back (In October in fact) We made the short trip to Paris to meet with Jeremy Scott & have a gander at his SS collection for Addias Originals, the designer, famed for his panda trainers and outrageous sportswear didn't disappoint with a new collection full of gorilla printed surfers, musical notes, a major love-in with the star spangled banner and enough sequins to sink the Titanic (not that it needed any help) We briefly chatted with Jeremy and came to the conclusions that (a) Stars & stripes will never be far from a collection (b) He won't be working his way through Noah's ark for trainer ideas & (c) A collaboration with Uggs is out of the question. So now you know.

Thank you to the lovely girls at the M&S press office for our festive themed cake. We intend to enjoy a slice with a cup (with saucer) of Lady grey.

Been there, done that, got the soiled t-shirt. Good video though.

Looking to show off down at the gym? Strictly speaking these are super luxe cycling gloves, but lets not be pedantic. They've done bikes too! Chic! In fact, Gucci creative Dir. Frida Gianni feels that "The Bianchi by Gucci bicycles perfectly carry forward our codes of luxury while creating a new cosmopolitan aesthetic for those looking to turn heads while on the go.” Agreed natch.

Because even in this time of giving it's still important to treat oneself.

The long overdue Boxpark opened yesterday next to Shoreditch High Street in London's trendy East End & we were given an exclusive tour! The downstairs features a host of our favourite brands such as 55 DSL, Luke, Lacoste L!ve, Levi's and Original Penguin. Upstairs has a few art galleries, some great little eateries and seating areas. There was a bit of a OnePiece flashmob as well. Which was fun.

In case Santa gets invited to some Christmas party this season.

New Look have pulled it out the bag for their Spring Summer collection with some great printed tees.

That Kate Moss is a fashion chameleon isn't she? Here she is dolled up like David Bowie.

Harlequins rugby stars Karl Dickson, Sam Smith and Seb Stegmann posed in their pants as part of Terrence Higgins Trust’s new World AIDS Day campaign, Stand Up, Stand Out. Good work boys!

We like this picture of Harry of One Direction fame holding court in his very dashing Aquascutum trench coat. Harry wasn't the only one rocking a bit of the heritage brand, Zayn was also wearing a very nice raincoat and accessorising with the brand's signature check umbrella.

We loved Burberry SS collection's African influences & block colours in ethnic inspired colours, so it can only be a good thing that the pre collection is now available online. Our pick of the bunch; the geometric print sweater in shades of blue, green & mustard is currently £895 on the online store. Bitch got expensive taste. We hope the recession hasn't hit Santa too hard...www.burberry.com

Marlon Teixeira continues his quest to be half dressed all year and for that we are eternally grateful. This time for Made In Brazil magazines fourth issue. madeinbrazilblog.com

What we wouldn't give to be in this line up of Victoria Beckham, Marc Jacobs & HRH The Moss, what would you discuss?! Last night, while we sat through the first episode of Desperate Scousewives (never again!) The British Fashion Awards was being held at The Savoy hotel in London in honour of all that is great & good in British fashion. Our special congrats must go to Victoria Beckham who has garnered more praise for her eponymous collections than the first night reviews of Matilda (topical!) and as such won Designer brand of the year. Kim Jones won Menswear Designer of the year which we can vouch for having seen his amazing SS collection for Louis Vuitton in the flesh. Our personal favourite though must go to Christopher Kane, who walked away with the New Establishment award. We are so excited and terrified at the prospect of his next sample sale. (Full list of winners in the main text)

While a smattering of smug people strut around your local high street parading their Versace/H&M wares like a badge of honour, news of H&Ms next collaboration (& due out in spring no less!) has already arrived in our inbox. The next brand, Marni, might not have the commerical clout or star power of Donatella but we love their unique collection of printed tees & amazing colour palette's nonetheless. Without wanting to wish away much more of our lives, we are excited to see what's in store come 8th March.

This is one exhibition we would quite happily jump on the Eurostar for. From March 6th to September 16th next year, Paris museum Les Arts Décoratifs is set to celebrate the brilliant pairing of Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs. Roll on Spring.

Jamie Hince has been spotted bowling about town (& stepping out of the pub) sporting All Saints Logan Leather Pea Coat (£550) with the best accessory of all, Kate Moss. Thought you may like this as a best dressed celeb feature.

Topman, ever the innovator, is launching an online magazine on the 30th November. Created with help from former Dazed Digital editor John-Paul Pryor, the monthly magazine will feature interviews with up and coming stars of music, film & fashion and will be available on many different platforms (Which we're 80% sure means you can read it on an Iphone, IPod & any other computer) Just don't expect to find it in W H Smiths. For all your topless celebs and wacky fashions though we suggest sticking with Attitude.

For no other reason than we simply love this cover.

Along with Stella McCartney's Christmas lights (which is happening next Tuesday FYI) The unveiling of swanky hotel Claridges Christmas tree is a sure fire sign that the big day is just around the corner. This year the tree was curated by Lanvin's Creative Director Alber Ebaz. The tree is unmistakably Lanvin, with brightly coloured baubles & even a mini Alber fairy sitting pretty at the top of the tree. We also love the figures at the bottom invlved in some sort of post Christmas dinner tableau complete with french maid. Magnifique!

Ben Walters meets the stars of a sexy, slow-burning new film about an encounter between two gay men

For anyone with a bit of a denim fixation consider tomorrow sent from the Gods! Wrangler Sample Sale In association with Your Samples Collective. With new styles added daily and up to 70% off, the sale starts tomorrow and continues to Saturday (8am until 7pm) Wrangler 3rd Floor 21 Ganton Street W1F 9BN

Last night we attended the opening of Sebago's first ever stand alone store on London's Regent Street. Champagne & oysters were served by doting waiters inside the brilliantly nautical themed shop. Pictured here are interns Lucas & Megan who we let out of their cages for the evening.

Some of the office say amazing. Others aren't quite convinced.

London's star continues to rise as news broke today that McQ, the younger, more affordable diffusion line of Alexander McQueen will show at London Fashion Week this coming February. With Stella McCartney also announcing her plans to show an exclusive range in London next year this bodes very well for the fashion capital. The McQ brand will also open it's first store in London's Mayfair next year on the increasingly sought after Dover Street (which apparently will be a substantial four stories. Yikes!) Photography by Cameron McNee, Styling by Elauan Lee for Attitude

Seven Dials and St. Martin’s Courtyard in Covent Garden is a lovely area to spend a bit of quality time any day or night, but on the 1st December you'll have an even better reason to be out spending. Over 100 stores are offering 20% off from our favourite brands such as Fred Perry, Urban Outfitters, Albam & Pepe Jeans. As well as that there will be in store events, drinks & D.Js. Plus you can catch a showing of Matilda which has just started playing at The Cambridge Theatre. Frank Strachan's seen it & says it's amazeballs.

Who knew Sam Lawson of Select models looked so good in clothes as well as out? Zara apparently, who have him modelling looks from their November look book.

Clarks have done a brilliant little collection of desert boots, inspired by great rock 'n' roller styles. From the red and black Sgt Pepper stylings of the 'Hainsworth', to the black and white checkerboard 'Special' and no music inspired collection would be complete of course without the iconic 'Union Jack'. (our fave) Available the beginning of next year.

At the Arcadia press day, these two sweaters caught our eye. Love the 'Prada inspired' stripey one. Look out for them when they hit stores in Feb/March

We're not quite sure how this works exactly but Calvin Klein's Christmas windows will be playing songs through the windows of their stores. We guess it will have to be seen (& heard) to be believed.

We've got a lot of love for these sparkly trainers from Christian Louboutin SS collection.

In what will probably be our last post about the Versace/H&M collab, Donatella was present at the Regent Street unveiling of the collection. those poor mannequins barely get a look in. We like to think that straight after this she hopped back on to her private jet off to relax after a busy couple of days (her jet would be called Donna Air)

Not one to shy away from publicity, Benetton's latest ad campaign sees famous world leaders (David Cameron not included. shame) having a kiss & make up. Here Obama lands a smacker on Hu Jintao, President of the People's Republic of China.

Just in time for the release of the collection tomorrow, a shot from our JLS shoot (featuring in the new issue) of the lovely Marvin looking very sexy in a pair of Versace for H&M graphic trousers.

We're quite happy to be receiving Christmas related emails now. Especially if they're as brilliant as the one from Beyond Retro! Christmas jumpers don't come much more festive. & now you can shop online at beyondretro.com

Carnaby Street can always be relied on for an exciting Christmas display. Last year was massive planets, this year it's massive mistletoe. Apols for shortening Christmas for Xmas. We know it's not usually the done thing. We want to see more Christmas lights, we care not that it's still a while to go!

Frank Strachan is on Oxford Street as we type, attempting to see which shops have got their Christmas themes going. So far we have Topman's which is rather abstract. Are the boxes supposed to represent presents? Or are we clutching at Santa shaped straws?

Just a little reminder of Topman Design's SS show which we loved. Loved the boys in their louche pyjama

For anyone wandering round the Northern Quarter today in Manchester, don't be alarmed by the site of an alarmingly large blue tit painted onto the side of a wall, it's merely Converse's latest Wall to Wall project. The sneaker brand have enlisted the expertise of street artist Faunagraphic as part of their ongoing project to decorate Europe's streets. Having already made it's mark in Barcelona, Lyon & Naples. Can Attitude towers get the treatment next please?..!

A nice idea, not executed quite as well as it could have been. Top marks for effort as per.

We get all giddy when a new collab drops in our inbox and today's is no exception with the pairing of London-born, Brooklyn based artist Hugo Guinnes with purveyors of sublime accessories Coach. The collection features bags & accessories adorned with the artist's whimsical illustrations. With a brand new store just opened on London's New Bond street what better reason not to get involved? Prices from £130

Burton's Montague collection for AW is steeped in history. Taking inspiration from the brands archive the range features tweeds, chunky knits and beautiful leather accessories. We also love these accompanying pictures from the campaign.

We've often wondered what models get up to out of hours (when they're not studying for their GCSE's that is) So we very much liked this picture of Oliver Chesire & Sam Webb of Select have a lark around in not much clothes in what appears to be a hostel. Oh the glamour.

Today the fashion team are shooting for the February issue. Here's groomer Caroline & hair guy Sammy Facebooking each other on their iphone/pads.

For anyone lucky enough to be in New York this Christmas we insist you visit Barneys department store as Lady Gaga is taking over the entire fifth floor and selling 170 different items..! The great unveiling takes place on the 21st of this month, selling everything from lipsticks to snow globes, there's sure to be a Gaga themed item that takes your fancy. *keeps fingers crossed for gaga themed toilet brush*

The Versace & H&M collaboration launched with a bang on Tuesday night at a specially made venue on the Hudson River in New York. A host of celebs attended including newly outed Zachery Quinto, Chace Crawford, The Minaj, Mark Ronson (looking v.dapper in a pink Versace for H&M suit) Alan Cumming, Blake Lively & Donatella herself.

There comes a point in the year when wearing your Converse becomes somewhat foolish, we think we are about to reach that point. A pair of boots like these Timberland 6" Earthkeepers are a great alternative & look great with skinny trousers & a big old coat.

We love Old England watches, especially the ones you can drape casually over your necks. Now thankfully as well as on their online site the watches can be bought in Goldsmiths in Westfield Stratford City as well as Selfridges London and Manchester.

Mr Porter, a culture vulture if ever there was one, have done a gorgeous shoot with star of Weekend, Tom Cullen (currently in your local picturehouse) modelling this season's ways to wear evening wear. A triumph.

House of Holland, who, let's be honest are quite partial to a collaboration, have collaborated with sunglass makers Le Specs on a line of sunnies for SS. Modelled rather beautifully by Leebo Freeman at Nevs models.

A year in the making and with one million pound spent in the process, this month House Of Fraser's formal menswear has re-launched in a shiny new guise. Selling high end tailoring from brands such as Paul Smith, Boss Black, Aquascutum & Kenzo. There's also a TM Lewin shirt bar allowing customers to pick out exactly the right fit for them. A must for anyone on the hunt for a bit of suiting.

We've been wondering what this space was going to become on Old Compton Street. Only last weekend we saw a frenzy of excitement from builders adding finishing touches and now we are understandably thrilled that Sunspel have chosen gay central as their first Central London store.

Absolut Mode (well known for it's collaborative pieces) have joined forces with Matthew Murphy of BStore (he's a busy man) to curate alongside three other designers, Sophie Hulme, Tim Soar & Peter Jensen to design three distinctive new bottles. Available exclusively from Selfridges from November 12th. Fun!

Though not technically totes (more of an excuse for a bit of alliteration) These bags by Ted Baker in collaboration with Brady come in great colours that will go with anything & completely on trend. We love the Dissey satchel (£225) & the Flybag backpack (£145)

Last night we went to the opening of Topman's general store in London's East End. Unusually for a big brand like Topman, the new store isn't an all singing all dancing incongruous mess in the heart of a historic area. Quite the opposite. Instead Design Director Gordon Richardson along with creative director of BStore Matthew Murphy, has created a space that feels very personal to Shoreditch. With a distinct lack of big branding, each piece is put in the store with an East London guy in mind.
