We’ve therefore decided to put together what we think are the best five looks from a range of designers at this year’s fashion shin ding.

Of course we couldn’t compile a list like this without including Chanel, which amongst other great designs gave us a very 50s sequined blue shift frock with a hint of 80s styling in the shoulders.

Dior gave us a stunning girly net tea length dress, while Louis Vuitton went all lacey and 60s with a cute cream frock.

Over at Giorgio Armani the tone was all glam, with our fashion eyes landing on a metallic fishtail frock and bolero, while Stephane Rolland went all out with a flamboyant twisted white skirt and black bodice. We heart.

See the gallery below for our top five.

The British designer will showcase a “one off special fashion presentation” on February 18 ahead of an assault on the British capital which will see her launch a ‘World of Stella’ exhibition of Selfridges, a new fragrance launch, and the opening of a second store.

However, she will then present her new collection in Paris, France as she has done for the past decade.

Meanwhile, dates for the ‘Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs’ exhibition at Les Arts Decoratifs in Paris have been announced.

The celebration of the long-running collaboration between the designer and the French leather goods firm will begin on March 6, the day before Paris Fashion Week wraps up and is set to run until September 16.

Despite being linked with a move to Christian Dior to take over from disgraced designer John Galliano, Marc recently revealed he has no plans to leave Louis Vuitton because he enjoys considerable freedom with the company.

He explained: “I could never do this anywhere else. It’s not just a Paris thing – Vuitton allows me. It’s really, really something I feel particularly proud of and am grateful to the team for. We’ve all worked really hard and gone through a lot to get this to where it is now and we’re starting to see results.”

The actress plays the troubled started in the new movie and costume designer Jill Taylor reveled she was impressed with Michelle’s opinion on what she should wear.

She told Vogue.co.uk: “Michelle has this real vulnerable quality to her – she’s like a little girl. She’s almost fawn-like, a real Bambi. I think that’s something she brings to each film she does, but it was especially helpful in ‘My Week With Marilyn’ because it meant she really understood and captured the essence of the Marilyn we were trying to convey. You work with so many people in film who give you nothing, but that just wasn’t the case with Michelle. I’d be round hers late at night to do fittings and she always had an opinion on the costumes.”

Jill also revealed she used fashion to represent the “private” of the tragic actress in the film and discovered that Marilyn was ahead of her time when it came to fashion.

She said: “What we wanted to represent was the private side of her. She’s known for her show-stopping glamorous gowns, but after studying hundreds of books and photographs we found out that actually Marilyn dressed for comfort. She was ahead of her time in terms of style. The Fifties look was very much based on structuring and tailoring, but she was often chose quite American sporty clothes to wear. She was the Calvin Klein girl before there even was Calvin Klein. In private, she kept to very simple lines and silhouettes.”

The British designer – who won worldwide praise for the emerald green gown she created for Pippa Middleton for the royal wedding reception in April – revealed her delight at winning the award just weeks after Queen Elizabeth presented her with an MBE.

After being presented with the prize by British actress Alice Eve, she said: “It was amazing to go into Buckingham Palace and meet Queen Elizabeth and now the flattery of being on the other side of the planet being honoured for what we do especially when you work so bloody hard . it’s a big compliment.”

The stars turned out in force to celebrate the artists who help them to look good including hair stylists, makeup artists, colourists, wardrobe stylists and photographers.

Presenting snapper Randall Slavin with his Photographer of the Year award, Eva Longoria said: “If it was up to me I’d have the whole world see me how Randall Slavin does. He has the ability to make a girl look persuasive and fierce and fragile and delicate and a million other things that you never thought could be possible.”

Jaime King presented ‘KickAss’ star Chloe Moretz with the One to Watch award, Selma Blair passed out the Hollywood Boutique of the Year title to Decades while Mandy Moore also took the stage as she announced Molly Stern as Make-Up Artist of the Year.

Hair Stylist of the Year went to Mara Roszak as ‘Sex and the City’ actress Kristin Davis named Elizabeth Stewart as Stylist of the Year.

Meanwhile Khloe Kardashian honoured her younger half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner with the Stylish Sisters trophy.

She said: “Kendall and Kylie are incredibly bright, down-to-earth and amazingly stylish. I really wish I was that stylish at their age. I still take inspiration from them now.”

The 30-year-old designer will further expand her work with a “cute” range of clothing for the home shopping network, which will launch in February.

A source told Usmagazine.com: “The line is cute – it can be worn by teeny-tiny girls but also goes up to size XXXL. Nicole has a great fashion sense, and she’s very hands-on.”

The launch of the line will tie in with the premiere of reality TV show ‘Fashion Star’, on which Nicole – who has a line of womenswear called Winter Kate, an accessories line called House of Harlow 1960 and Nicole, her maternity collection – acts as a mentor for aspiring designers.

The reality TV star – who was recently named Influencer of the Year at Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards for House of Harlow 1960 – recently said she designs for women who are not “afraid to take risks” and enjoy having “fun” with their wardrobes.

Describing her typical customer, she said: “[She is] a multitasker, a woman who wears many hats, someone who isn’t afraid to take risks and have fun with fashion.”

Her clean-cut shirt finds a new lease of life with neon gauze-like sleeves and her beautiful blazer with cable knit sleeves will warm while it keeps you cool.

If you’re looking for a make up look that’ll make you stand out this season then look no further than the metallic trend.

The look, which was highlighted on the catwalks of Chanel, Phillip Lim and Fendi is great for both daytime and the party season as it can be worn as heavy or as soft as you choose.

For a daytime look copy the likes of Cheryl Cole and go for a metallic blusher on the cheeks or spice up that party frock with heavy smokey eyes in any metallic colour you choose.

We heart the greens as seen at Phillip Lim, burnt oranges as spotted on Charlize Theron and silvers sported by Rihanna and Nicole Scherzinger.
Keep reading for our top metallic must haves.

The 64-year-old designer – who is most famous for the wrap dress she designed in the 1970s, which enjoyed a revival over two decades later – is proud that people enjoy wearing her creations because they make them feel good about themselves, though she hopes she still has things to achieve.

She said: “I am against anything that objectifies women,

“My greatest achievement is that I have given confidence to women with my clothes.

“The word ‘accomplished’ makes you think with a full stop. I hope I am accomplishing!”

Diane believes that female designers make more appealing outfits because they are practical fashions, whereas she thinks her male counterparts prefer “costumes”.

She said: “Women design clothes for women to wear. Men design costumes.”

Diane admitted she felt “humiliated” when she was learned pregnant after getting engaged to Prince Egon of Furstenberg but was determined to forge a career and insisted on learning the basics of fashion before marrying at 23.

She told the Guardian newspaper: “I was working in a clothing factory in Italy when I discovered I was pregnant. I was humiliated, worried people would think I’d done it to get the ‘best catch in Europe’. So I said to my boss: ‘I’m getting married and moving to America, but before I go, can I learn how to make clothes?’ And I stayed after work with the patternmaker, and that’s how I got into fashion.”

The British designer and environmentalist – who is a vegetarian and refuses to use leather or fur in her creations – revealed the new collection will be made of more than 50 per cent natural and renewable materials.

She told WWD: “The greatest challenge was the amount of time that was spent on research and testing to get the best quality product possible with the highest performance in terms of resistance, while still maintaining the style and finish we always try to achieve.”

This is not Stella’s first sunglasses collection, she released a line in 2009 in collaboration with Luxottica and says it’s important to have fun with them.

She explained: “Women have two sets: a classic pair they’ll have forever, and a more playful pair. We’ve added that fun element to the line. ‘My mum had this mad pair with Christmas trees on them that I loved when I was little. Sunglasses are one of the only accessories that can really have a sense of humour. But you walk a fine line between looking like a complete idiot and getting it just right.”
