As we reported back in March, the dynamic duo behind PPQ have collaborated with Adidas on a sportswear range for A/W 2009-10. Now here is your first look at the collection, as photographed by Rankin. It features boxing-inspired pieces in contrasting black-and-white, including stirrup pants, long boots, mittens and thermal fleece.
"We are not scared of simple classics, and this is what we have offered in this collection. Hybrid sportswear has been about through history, The fabrics may have evolved but I don't really think it's any more trendy now than it was 10 years ago," PPQ's Amy Molyneaux said. I wonder if we'll see Peaches Geldof getting about in stirrup pants this season?

The tuxedo is enjoying a bit of a revival at the moment, but one that's taking place almost entirely in the womenswear section. Waistcoats, tuxedo dresses and frock coats are big again, as are the dandyish accessories that go with them.
Temperley's Spring/Summer '10 show at London Fashion Week reference the look most heavily, with dusky-eyed models in monochrome and two-tone jumpsuits and dresses featuring black tie tailoring. Accessories included scaled-down top hats and bow ties. Jean-Paul Gaultier's models also wore (very) pared down suits and dark makeup.

Just when you think the line between high street and designer couldn't get any more blurred, George at Asda come along and do their own version of Kate Moss's sparkly Balmain dress for just £16. The silver and black space-like dress was worn by the supermodel in April, as she went out for dinner at Nobu, and attended a launch party for her friend Shaun Leane. Many of you loved it for its exaggerated shoulders and super '80s glitz, and therefore will welcome this much cheaper version. Having said that, I'm sure many of you won't. Goddiva also did a high street copy a couple of months ago, but it's now all sold out.

Whether you're still obsessing over bodycon, you live for layering or simply have a pure, unabashed penchant for glittery top hats... dance shops are an untapped source of awesomeness for the more adventurous dresser. Forget American Apparel and Topshop, when it comes to unitards, leotards and leggings, dance is the way to go.

Hardcore, edgy, tough are all photographic themes that have become synonymous with Alice Dellal. The British model's punkish looks have earned her a string of similar campaigns and editorials - take her Madonna cone-bra shoot for D&C for instance. Alice has once again teamed up with Matt Irwin to produce the latest lookbook for London jewellery designer, Dominic Jones. The amazing line of spikes, studs and heavy-metal jewellery are also modelled by Lizzy Jagger, Eliza Cummings, and Emma Chitty.

Tie Dye is a huge trend this summer, but it's so easy to do at home. Rather than messing around with dyes and washing machines the easiest way to get this effect is with dark fabrics and bleach.

When Kate Moss stepped out in that silver sequinned Balmain dress last month it had everyone talking. Well for those who can't quite afford Balmain (so, just about most of us) Goddiva has come up with a much more affordable alternative. This silver and black sparkly minidress is also on sale, reduced from £26 to just £16. Throw on some black tights and shiny black bag and you're as good as Miss Moss.
