New season fashion muses

Bianca Jagger is SO last season. From Bettie Page to David Bowie, find out who inspired the autumn/winter 2011 collections.

 The colourful printed costumes of the Ballet Russes were a source of inspiration for Mary Katrantzou (pictured) and Dries van Noten.
 Pictures of the 50's pin-up Bettie Page adorned the front of sweatshirts at the Givenchy show.
Twiggy's mod style was seen on many-a-catwalk, particularly in the graphic shift dresses at Prada.
 David Bowie's early image was cited as one of the icons behind the Gucci collection.
 Fetishistic garments in black leather were rife on in autumn/winter collections, carrying a hint of Catwoman.
 With polka-dots being a key trend for autumn/winter, the Tophop Unique show was clearly channeling Cruella de Vil.
 Red lamé and thigh high splits at Antonio Berardi gave a nod towards the oh-so-sexy Jessica Rabbit.
 The models at Miu Miu - with their 40's tea dresses and victory rolls - looked like they had just stepped out of a Katharine Hepburn film.
 British fashion designer and style icon Mary Quant, is a figure to take inspiration from when experimenting with the 'tunic and trousers' trend and shift dresses, as seen at Alberta Ferretti.
 Marc Jacobs made direct reference to the 1974 film The Night Porter with his Louis Vuitton collection.
 Patti Smith's teddy-boy image cropped up time and time again on the autumn/winter catwalks, most notably at Dolce & Gabbana.
