The autumn/winter 2011 hotlist

The top 10 names to watch for the autumn/winter 2011 season.

Mad Men meets Banana Republic
The hold that Mad Men exerts on fashion continues: Bottega Veneta's new twinsets seem to be made with Betty Draper in mind, while Fendi's checks and frill collars could slip seamlessly into Peggy Olsen's office wardrobe. But for the real thing, Janie Bryant, the show's award-winning costume designer, has teamed up with Banana Republic to create a line of tailoring and accessories so you too can channel the elegance of the 1960s. Look out for the dress, £110, shoes, £89, and necklace, £39.50.

 Clear your diary for November 17 and the emergence of this year's H&M tie-up with Versace. Be prepared to camp out for the studded leather jacket or floral belted shift.

 Fiona Paxton The jewellery designer has come up with a diffusion line of 30 pieces for John Lewis , available this month. Paxton brings her geometric patterns to necklaces and bracelets inspired by the flappers of the 1920s. From £45.

Postmodernism
Discover what Postmodernism really means at the V&A in London as the museum plays host to 'Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970-1990'. More than 250 objects relating to architecture, music and fashion will be on display, from Memphis furniture to Robert Rauschenberg paintings and the magnificently zany maternity dress (pictured) designed in 1979 by Jean-Paul Goude and Antonio Lopez for Grace Jones. September 24 to January 15.

Grenson women's collection
We have been coveting Grenson's men's boots and brogues for some time, and at last the classic British bootmaker brand has adapted its shoes for girls, creating slimmer versions of its two-tone brogues, chukka and Chelsea boots, £195, available at my-wardrobe.com.

Katie Hillier for Loewe
Katie Hillier The brilliant accessories designer is working with the Spanish luxury house Loewe this season, her quirky animal motifs making the Amazona and Ida bags even more of a must-have. From £895 for the blue Ida satchel.

Michael van der Ham
The Dutch designer's collection of trousers, tops and dresses for Topshop , made using his signature collage technique, goes on sale on September 17 - just in time for fashion week. From £120.

MW by Matthew Williamson
Matthew Williamson's newly launched diffusion line, MW, is a more relaxed take on his main collection. The cocoon blanket coats, vibrant checks and playful prints are sure to attract a new cool girl to the Williamson world. Coat, £506, jumper dress, £116, scarf, £116 available at my-wardrobe.com.

Orla Kiely for People Tree
After the success of Emma Watson for People Tree, the Fairtrade label has teamed up with Orla Kiely for winter. The designer's signature kooky prints and girlish knits are all there, with teacup motifs, 1950s prom dresses and tailored trenches. Cardigan, £140, polo-neck, £35, skirt, £70, belt, £35; red dress, £85.

Masculine chic at Whistles
This is the season to borrow from the boys. Sharp suiting is the most stylish way to go and it is worth spending a little bit extra on Whistles ' new tailoring collection that has been created using a men's block by the former Gieves & Hawkes tailor Frederik Willems. The boxy shape of the jackets works perfectly with slim-cut trousers or shorts, and there are beautiful wool fabrics from English and Italian mills, too. Jacket, £195, shorts, £95.
