Fashion designers now and then in pictures
What a difference a decade makes: take a look back at what the fashion world's biggest players used to look like...
DOLCE & GABBANA
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana might have parted ways romantically, but they are growing old gracefully together. Compare the design duo in 1998 and 2001.
DONATELLA VERSACE
Back in 1993, Donatella Versace was a 30-something helping at hand at her brother Gianni's glamorous fashion shows. Now she's 56, and her hair is glossier than ever as she steers the family business on to the Milanese catwalks and beyond.
CALVIN KLEIN
Fashion designer Calvin Klein in 1989, when his eponymous label was facing financial difficulties. Now aged 69, he was rumoured to be dating a form porn star who was only a third of his age.

DIANE VON FURSTENBERG
There was no one better than the designer herself to show off the glamorous wrap dresses she created in the Seventies. Now aged 65 and counting, DvF hasn't lost any of that je ne sais quoi.

JOHN GALLIANO
John Galliano has adopted many guises during his design career (which came to a halt last year following an anti-Semitic rant in a Paris Café). From astronaut to bleached blonde dreadlocks, the image on the left shows Galliano in 1988.

ALBER ELBAZ
Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz has got geek chic down to an art. The Moroccan-born designer's bespectacled look from 1998 has merely evolved into a more modern version for 2012.

Milan Fashion Week: Dolce & Gabbana autumn/winter 2012
Dame Helen Mirren generally seems the most serenely imperturbable of women, and most certainly not the sort to let her handbag plummet to the floor.
Yet this was the fate that befell the snakeskin leopard-print tote that had passingly rested in the crook of Dame Helen's elbow as she reeled backstage immediately after a stunning Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan.
Handbag rapidly restored to elbow - the accident occurred as the actress applauded the designers' seething sea of staff - she told The Daily Telegraph : "I have to say that I'm blown away. I loved it. It was immodest and grandiose and wonderful. I loved the theatricality of it."

Haute Halloween costume ideas
From Nicki Minaj to Baby Jane Hudson, give your Halloween costume a high fashion edge with these spooky-likey looks...
Lady Gaga by Alexander McQueen
There are few scarier than Lady Gaga, especially in this bondage outfit she donned for a spot of casual Christmas shopping last year. Get the look from one of her favourite labels, Alexander McQueen, and simply add dark blue lipstick.
The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz by Lanvin
Alber Elbaz conjured up the most beautiful witches we've ever seen for his autumn/winter 2011 Lanvin collection. All this look needs is green face-paint and a broom.
Dracula by Yves Saint Laurent
A gorgeous cape by YSL worthy of the magnificent Bela Lugosi himself. Just add fake blood and fangs.
Damien from The Omen by Dolce & Gabbana
All this Dolce & Gabbana look needs is a tie and a red tricycle.
Nina Sayers from Black Swan by Topshop
Natalie Portman's wacko ballet dancer was the stand-out scary lady of the year. This Topshop Unique tutu just needs lashings of black eye make-up to set it off.
Nicki Minaj by Pam Hogg
She's loud, she's brash, she's multi-coloured and her wardrobe can be scary. Brit designer Pam Hogg has the perfect ensemble to capture Nicki Minaj's signature 'more is more' look.
Baby Jane Hudson from What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? by Rodarte
Rodarte's romantic lacy collection lends itself perfectly to child-star-with arrested development-turned-psychopath, Baby Jane Hudson, played by Bette Davis.
Catwoman from Batman Returns by Givenchy
If you fancy trying Catwoman, but aren't brave enough to go the full PVC catsuit, nod to the look with this PVC cat earloui hat by Givenchy.
Lucia Atherton from The Night Porter by Louis Vuitton
Dark sadomasochistic Nazi flick 'The Night Porter' was one of the references cited by Marc Jacobs for his autumn/winter 2011 Louis Vuitton collection. Get the look with one of their peak caps.
Melanie Daniels from The Birds by Calvin Klein Collection
Tippi Hedren's character, Melanie Daniels, from Hitchcok classic 'The Birds' was one of the most stylish '60s heroines, even when she was being besieged by menacing feathered beasts.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs by Vivienne Westwood
Hannibal Lecter remains one of the most terrying villains of all time, never more so thhn in his hockey mask and straightjacket. Take make-up cues from Vivienne Westwood's autumn/winter 2011 show.
Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians by Topshop
Even though Cruella De Vil never actually got to make her coat out of puppies in Disney classic '101 Dalmatians', Topshop Unique dreamed up the perfect finished article for their show.
