QUICK TIP: Go Greek this summer combining bright white flowing kaftans and dresses with shimmering gold accessories. Gladiator-inspired, flat, strappy sandals will also bring out the Grecian goddess in you.


CELEBS VS DESIGNERS

Worldwide supermodel Kate Moss launches her first signature collection tomorrow (May 1st) after months of build-up, but since when has she been a designer? The fight for the fashion limelight is getting heated between the real designers and the many emerging celebrity designers (think Gwen Stefani Vs Armani) – but what do you think?

THE WOMEN’S FASHION BAROMETRE OF COOL: Summer Headwear

Women’s Fashion LOVES: The turban – be brave and be inspired by Prada when you’re wrapping your locks into your favourite headscarf this summer – look exotic, choose warm colours and keep your hair protected on the beach – we love practical fashion.

Women’s Fashion LOATHES: The baseball cap – we all own one but it’s well and truly time to say goodbye to the old faithful hat. Move on, ditch the cap and choose a sporty alternative like the visor – don’t let your hat hold you back.
