The fashion briefing: Model strops

Fashion briefing: Kate Moss
Throwing a strop

London fashion week might not have started yet but we’ve already had our model strop of the month care of Kate Moss. Storming out of the GQ awards effing and blinding, before stomping back in to look for her lippy, was not the supermodel’s finest hour. When even Lily Allen’s telling you to stop, you’ve gone too far.

Fashion briefing: Billie Piper
Look of the week: Red carpet tailoring

New mother Billie Piper gave TV-land a lesson in awards dressing with this chic yet mannish cream tuxedo and skinny black drainpipes. She stood out a style mile and got extra points for her hair - subtly growing out one’s roots with a mussed 'do looks very now.

Fashion briefing: Alexander McQueen
Say what?

"STRESSED! Microwave head meltdown! Sparks flying out of my brain! Preparing for the show.”

Fashion briefing: Prada
Over-the-knee boots

As seen on catwalks from Prada to Giles. We love them, we just need a little bit longer to work out exactly how we’re going to wear these without resembling Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Hmmm.

Fashion briefing: Dress
Velvet
Our favourite fabric of the season; sumptuous velvet has had a revamp. Wear in a solid intense block of jewel colour like this terrific number and don’t wait until party season to wear it.

Fashion briefing: Watch
Men's buy of the week
We're not really ones for boys' toys but this watch has a helium release to protect it from extreme pressures, glows in the dark and is water resistant to 500m. And we love the yellow face.

Fashion briefing: Ankle boot
Women's buy of the week
There's no avoiding the ankle boot this season. These suede super spikes have a hidden platform studded with rivets for a totally bang on rock-chick look.
