Trending: Lace

Lace and Broderie Anglaise, spring/summer's favourite fabrics, are a hit both on and off the catwalk.
Who said lace needs to be restricted to skirts and dresses? D&G's lace tops and cropped palazzo trousers are an alternative way to take part in the trend.

White and red lace lent itself perfectly to Erdem's English country garden themed spring/summer 2011 collection at London Fashion Week.

The collection has been scooped up by the fashionistas in the know, with Kate Bosworth leading the charge on Erdem's petal-printed lace-trimmed dresses.

'Sucker Punch' actress, Emily Browning follows suit in a tiered white lace Erdem mini dress.

Layering white geometric Broderie Anglaise over red adds depth to a white shift and skirt at Sportmax.

Panels in the sleeve and neckline add lashings of lace in place of an all-over look.

Christopher Kane created an antidote to all the white lace on the spring/summer 2011 catwalks designing neon pleated lace shifts and skirt suits for an acid-bright, granny-chic collection, and paving the way for the day-glo trend that is everywhere this season.

Liu Wen: Face of the future (2)

It is 9am on a rainy Saturday morning at the beginning of London Fashion Week in February. Select Model agency's glamorous new offices in central London are surprisingly sleepy still, although the team were working late into the night confirming options for their girls, and planning schedules for Milan Fashion Week, which follows straight after. I am here to meet Liu Wen, the 24-year-old from Yongzhou, a city in Hunan province in central southern China, and the country's biggest fashion star.
