What style insiders wear to the fashion shows – in pictures

Holli Rogers, buying director, net-a-porter.com
Burberry has long been considered the best British brand for outerwear and their tangerine collarless wool coat is my coat of the season. With a nod to the 60s that is so huge right now, the vibrant colour paired with the sleek silhouette make it both wearable yet impactful. Photograph: PR company handout

Blue leather trousers by Acne. They are a classic, yet serious statement piece with a fierce edge, which will stay in your wardrobe for seasons to come. Amazingly they are versatile for both a day and night wardrobe and can be easily dressed up and down. Photograph: PR company handout

I think the midi-length skirt whether straight or with a slit like Michael Kors or Jonathan Saunders is a pivotal piece and lovely with a simple silk blouse or slim knit. I adore my new Christopher Kane one with scalloped waistband and wavy 'gel' pockets. Photograph: PR

A pencil skirt. I got lucky and found the perfect vintage Hermès egg-yolk yellow one for a steal in a Shoreditch thrift store the other day … but I've also got my eye on a forest green Stella McCartney number and Jonathan Saunders's beautiful prints. Photograph: PR company handout

Our Huxley tote in butter tan calf with shagreen tassel and handstitched handles embodies the trend of men’s tailoring for autumn/winter 2011 with its clean lines and attention to detail. Photograph: PR company handout

Helen David, womenswear general merchandise manager, Harrods
A cape – cloaks and capes are the season’s definitive coverup as one or the other makes an appearance in nearly every collection. My favourites are the sleek styles from Lanvin and the luxe knits at Chanel. Photograph: PR company handout

I’d pick one of the coats from my autumn collection. It’s a heavy wool felt coat in limestone grey which is very masculine in the cut, but feels feminine with the addition of a feather and Swarovski trim. Photograph: PR company handout
