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.

Trending: buttoning up
Whether it's your dress, blouse, jacket or coat, just make sure it's buttoned right to the top.
Whether it's your blouses, dresses or jackets, buttoning right to the top will keep you on top of a trend which was seen all over the autumn/winter 2011 catwalks, like this silk green blouse at Chloe.
Givenchy's autumn/winter 2011 collection was littered with collars either in loud prints or made from black patent leather.
Long an advocate of the buttoned up collar, Alexa Chung's granny-chic styling is often topped off with one, and this Miu Miu silk dress is no exception.
Cacharel's floral collection was a lesson in how to do sweet geek chic, with buttoned up collars topping off mini-dresses and skirts.
Chloe Sevigny buttons up a crisp white shirt.
Much like the Suno dresses, Elizabeth Olsen accessorises her white blouse with not one, but two statement necklaces.
Fearne Cotton's loose printed shirt and tailored shorts lend themselves perfectly to her tomboyish style.
Bright printed blouses buttoned up to the can be paired with high-waisted pencil midi-skirts for a sleek but still sexy silhouette, like at Jonathan Saunders autumn/winter 2011.
When Kate Bosworth stepped out in L.A last week it wasn't just the blue dip-dyed hair that caught our eyes, but the buttoned-up blouse she was wearing beneath.
Suno's ankle length silk dresses have an air of 'granny chic' about them as well; each buttoned up collar is topped off with a statement necklace for added allure.
Of collars, cuffs and muffs
A well-decked neck can transmute a workaday outfit into a bolt of glamour says Hannah Betts.
Just as the stopped clock is on time twice a day, so even the most fashion-resistant of us occasionally find ourselves lurching into modishness. And so it has come to pass for moi, as throatwear - in its various incarnations - is achingly the rage, both now and in the forthcoming season. Fashion is headed neck (and wrist) up; the devil more than ever being in the detail. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a column on collars, cuffs, muffs, ruffs, halos and cravats.
