Key summer fashion looks
by Peter Morrissey & Erika Heynatz
1. Get Fabulous with the Fifties Skirt: "This summer we're taking a trip down memory lane, flashing back to the feminine era with full skirts that suit any body shape. Light, pretty and airy, the fifties skirt is an easy to wear summer classic. There are plenty of different styles from print to plain, mini to knee length - the choice is yours." Erika Heynatz. See the fifties skirts video.
2. Be bold with the Graphic Prints: "It's all about bold splashes of colour, rich modern swirls and intricate patterns that would be welcome in a gallery if they weren't headed for your wardrobe. Try experimenting with arty patterns and palettes to modernise your basic wardrobe staples." Peter Morrissey.
3. Say it with Seventies Style Denim: The spirit of the 70s is back, which means the return of denim. The good news is it's not just about jeans. You'll find all sorts of retro styles, like soft shirts, sexy short shorts, frilled skirts and funky blazers. It's easy, relaxed dressing with street cred." Peter Morrissey.
4. Flower Power: Naturally, this is the season for florals to blossom, but this year they're springing up everywhere. From delicate, small print dresses to oversized cabbage roses scattered on skirts, it's a look of romance, femininity and grown up glamour." Erika Heynatz.
5. Make a statement in Show stopping Shoes: We all love shoes and why not? A fabulous heel can update a dress in a second. A glamorous shoe instantly transforms an outfit from day to night. And best of all, a great shoe always makes you feel fantastic. This season is all about statement, sculptural styles - they're bigger, bolder and the choice is endless." Erika Heynatz.
6. Razzle Dazzle ‘em - Race Wear: Off to the track? Look no further than The Dress. Easy, elegant and always chic, a fabulous dress is the only choice for the races. Just add a pretty little fascinator, a simple clutch, then throw on some heels (that won't sink into the turf) and you'll look like a winner." Peter Morrissey.
7. Razzle Dazzle ‘em - Party Wear: It's party time! That means it's time for a new dress. Go for bold, super-bright colours, pretty prints or lady like ruffles. And for a fab look in a flash, throw on some clashing accessories and serious shoes." Erika Heynatz.
8. It's in the Bag: "Make bags your colour statement this season. Blacks and browns are still your essentials, but this summer; try something a little more adventurous. Be playful with bold colours and slouchy 70's shapes." Peter Morrissey.
9. Sass up your look for the Sunny Season: Add a touch of glamour with oversized sunnies." Peter Morrissey.

10. Summer beauty trends: "The new season welcomes an explosion of captivating colour, a touch of shimmer and a dewy finish. These are the three distinct looks from the Spring 2008 runway season - bold eye colour, fresh complexions and shimmery skin." Joh Bailey.
11. Pony tails are back: The Pony tail is huge this season! Be it a low ruffled side pony tail for evening or a high tussled pony that is bouncy for day time." Joh Bailey.
