The ‘Little Black Dress’ is a big hit on the catwalk - but lets face it the ‘LBD’ has never been out of fashion -mini or strapless, knee-length or one-shouldered.  Lace is also big news this Autumn/Winter.  Picture above - Chanel.   Wear with stiletto’s and real/fake diamonds  Here are some high-street alternatives -

Super-sized costume jewellery is a big trend for Autumn/Winter 08/09.  Pile on heeps of jewellery like Givenchy (main pic above) or wear one statement piece as styled on ’Just Cavali’ (left) and Marni (middle) catwalk models.  Long gloves are also big news for next season as shown by John Galliano (right).
