One of the rising stars of London Fashion Week, Braganza apparently drew his inspiration from a combination of Bauhaus and science fiction. There were figure hugging panelled dresses, tough girl leather jackets, skinny trousers and a finale of digitally printed mini dresses, and while all were beautifully executed the vibe did feel like a continuation of the trends that ruled last autumn.

It may not have been the most ground breaking of collections but there were definitely some covetable pieces that will no doubt find their way into the most stylish of wardrobes. A just-sexy-enough draped coat-dress and a pair of chic and stylish wool dresses in black and burgundy topped our wishlist and wouldn't look out of place on the celebrity circuit. We know that Cheryl Cole is already a fan - expect to see them filtering into her X-Factor line-up come the summer.
