The fashion briefing

Fashion Briefing: Wooden heels
Set to fly: Gérard Darel’s patent fringed wedge
French label in debut shoe collection alert: aside from a fabulous array of colours, this fringed style also comes as a flat, and the cute bow wedge is worthy of investigation too. £150, 020-7487 5418

Fashion Briefing: Autograph dress
Women's buy of the week: Marks & Spencer’s Autograph silk dress
This 100% silk dress looks and feels expensive. Its winningly simple shape sparks into life with the hot colour and black zig-zags. To take the shade shock factor down for daytime, we’re thinking blazer and studded shoe-boots. £69, 0845 302 12346

Fashion Briefing: Duffel coat
Men's buy of the week: Albam’s denim workwear jacket
If you haven’t discovered Albam yet, then shame on you. This jacket has the label’s signature big white buttons, is super lightweight and boasts a handy zip-off hood. Plus, with the double-denim look at large, you can even wear with it jeans. £115, albamclothing.com

Fashion Briefing: Glasses
Question of the week: Could glasses get any more of the moment?
Oh yes. This smashing tortoiseshell pair by Thierry Lasry, in collaboration with Browns Focus, are the latest frames on the block. Plus, keep your eyes – oh, the chuckles – peeled for forthcoming specs label Prism, which is amazing, and arrives in July. Glasses, £125, from Browns Focus, 020-7514 0063

Fashion Briefing: Love Moschino dress
Splurge: Moschino’s black pearl dress
We are very impressed with the price tag of this designer dress – there is even some free jewellery thrown in. And, it’s terribly Chanel – something you’ll never hear us grumbling over. £325, by Love Moschino, from Harvey Nichols, 020-7235 5000

Fashion Briefing: Matthew Williamson and Daria Werbowy
Spotted: The suit with a jaunty scarf look
Matthew Williamson, pictured here with a model, has made the scarf a defining moment of his sleek and often colourful - he loves a splashy bright knit does our Matthew - wardrobe. This suit, part of his debut menswear collection and phase two of his H&M collaboration, jets into a store near you on 14 May.
