The fashion briefing

The fashion briefing: Dominic Jones ring
Splurge: Knuckle-duster ring, £168
Fresh to Selfridges’ new contemporary fashion space, 3rd Central, Dominic Jones’s debut collection is a great way into ­autumn’s harder, gothic trend. This yellow-gold, claw knuckle-duster ring was apparently inspired by tough femininity. Best worn with a leather biker jacket.

The fashion briefing: Anna Wintour
Spotted: The devil really does wear Prada
Anna Wintour gave a nod to the film The Devil Wears Prada (a character in which is said to be based on her) by wearing this Prada dress to the New York premiere of American Vogue documentary, The ­September Issue. ­Letting the print speak for itself, she kept her accessories simple with nude heels and her signature sunglasses. We hope she took her shades off once she got into the cinema.

Question of the week: Is Dover Street Market’s ­unisex ­perfume the noughties answer to CKOne?
Designed by Comme des Garçons’ Rei Kawakubo, the inside-out printed packaging is all monochromatic loveliness. A classic woody scent with top notes of bergamot, mandarin and black ­pepper, the perfume for men and women launches on 10 September.
