est of British We say stay close to our roots this season and let Cool Britannia rule the waves. Rock the old school elegance of Aquascutum LTD, the English eccentricity of Paul Smith and the edgy attitude of McQueen. Old Blighty is bang on trend.
CURTSEY queen Queen Boudicca reigns supreme! We are the loyal subjects of Zowie Broach and Brian Kirkby (The Queen B design duo). Their sharp tailoring, sculpted silhouettes and avant-garde concepts are where it’s at for ‘09!

JOHN VARVATOS
What do rock stars wear when they hang up their guitars and peel off their leather trousers? John Varvatos, that’s what. Varvatos always has a band in mind when designing, from Iggy Pop to Franz Ferdinand – resulting in the kinda clothes the off–duty rocker wants to wear!
