Here's a trend for the old romantics, one we're calling 'flouncy' because it's a beautifully billowy combination of frills, ruches and ruffles. Gucci showcased this ladylike look with flowing aqua silk (below), while Givenchy interpreted the trend with shirts in luxe fabrics with ruffle style bibs. At Marni, almost all skirts had a ruffle rim while Isabel Marant kept it casual with white frilly tops Spanish Senorita style. Make sure your wardrobe has the flounce factor by shopping just a few of our favourite frill must-haves below!
Hollywood fashion fans Jessica Alba, Natalia Vodianova, Chloë Moretz and Salma Hayek descended upon on a snowy Paris to see some of the most sensational haute couture at Paris Fashion Week. Highlights included the Christian Dior show by Raf Simons, which was understandably one of the hottest tickets in town and featured models wearing satin dresses and trouser suits with delicate floral embellishments in both nude and colour popping oranges, pinks and lime green.
Giambattista Valli was another stand out show, where fairytale full skirted chiffon gowns in pink, nude and a monochrome colour palette were accessorized with ruffles, bows and more blooming florals making the whole collection unashamedly romantic. 18 year old Versace model Lindsey Wixson also walked the show. See some of the best bits from the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week SS'13 in our gallery below.

Kate Upton will be smiling at your from newsstands this month as she lands her first ever cover for British Vogue. The star is being hailed as the poster girl for healthy models. Editor Alexandra Shulman explained the choice of Kate saying, "When I decided to shoot Kate for our first cover of 2013, it was to kick off the year with a young woman who is not a stereotypical fashion model – although, let's face it, she's hardly a heffalump!" She added, "It's very rare for a girl ... to move from one area of the business to the other, largely due to the fact that fashion models are almost without curves, whereas swimwear girls are celebrated for them." She was on the cover of Vogue Italia earlier this year, but is yet to land any major fashion campaigns so it will be interesting to see how 2013 works out for her. Would you like to see more models of a similar shape to Kate?
Maybe it's because it's getting close to Christmas, maybe it's because it's Chanel, but Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel Metiers d'Art fashion show last night in the grand surroundings of Linlithgo Palace near Edinburgh, Scotland has been described by fashion critics as 'truly exceptional' and 'nothing short of magical'. Brit model of the moment Cara Delevingne walked the show and tweeted backstage, describing her look as 'channeling her inner Mary Queen of Scots'. Cara also re-tweeted pics of her impressive hairstyle created by Sam Mcknight.
