Not too shabby
Tatty Devine has hit the ground running this year.

The six-piece collection, which first appeared at Gray’s SS13 catwalk show, features geometric earrings and giant mirrored rings with slogans scrawled by the lady herself. (From £70, tattydevine.com)

THURSDAY
Bonjour les garçons
With Paris men’s fashion week in full swing, all eyes will be on the capital today for the unveiling of Kim Jones’s AW13 offering for Louis Vuitton. In his fourth season as men’s style director, the British-born designer has developed a cult following thanks to his wearable, casually refined approach, pictured right. One thing is sure — a lot of wish lists for next season will be penned from the front row.
FRIDAY
Measure up
Selfridges’ new Bespoke department offers made-to-measure tailoring by Henry Rose and a menu of alterations from London Fashion Week designer Emilia Wickstead. Joining them today are exclusive made-to-order services from Scottish cashmere brand Hawick and original Parisian shirt-maker Charvet. (selfridges.com)
