The Fashion Citizen Journalism

It's hard to identify where to start when describing this shop's design. On the one hand, it is relaxed, comfortable, inviting and friendly, but on the other, it's completely off-the-wall. The flooring is made from those municipal mosaic tiles you'd find in a 1930s public swimming baths, painted in the Camper red, and the shoes are all on a central stand that seemingly bulges up from the floor itself as if the result of some very localized tectonic activity. strangely, the staff all live in a plywood booth at the far end, and the whole right-hand side is covered by a full length mirror that effectively doubles the space. The shop's main feature, but is the lighting installation that hangs down above the central table. Created from white linen garments - shorts, dresses, T-shirts - dipped in something to keep them rigid, and hung at varying heights with light bulbs hovering inside, the fixture is as mad as a bag of snakes. The brand says its stores are its 'best outlet for expression', and judging by this one, it's hard to disagree.

I recommended you to seem past the hair, strange styling and gormless gazes of the models in these pictures. All of this is proposed to appeal to about three dozen people in London's East End. It's fashion, innit? Rather, what you should focus on is what Topman has put together for our sartorial delectation, because it's actually rather good. The Denim Jacket Project sees the high street store commission six British and American designers to have a crack at reinventing the classic jean jacket. It's no easy feat: the jean jacket has long been a staple of men's wardrobes. While fashions come and go (stone-washed, indigo or acid wash denim, slim fit or boxy), the general idea hasn't changed a huge amount since Levi's started producing them in the early 1900s. The most high profile name on board is the British designer Oliver Spencer, recognized for his relaxed casual tailoring and outerwear.

The British Designers Collective is a joint project between Bicester Village, the outlet shopping centre in Oxfordshire, and the British Fashion Council. YMC, Oliver Spencer (shown), Grenson, Margaret Howell and James Long are amid the menswear labels that will feature in a pop-up shop showcasing British talent. In line with the Bicester Village formula, the clothes will be from previous seasons collections and sold at up to 60 % off the recommended retail price.

Its brightest star was the Queen herself. Her diamond like twinkles were provided by the economically prudent Swarovski crystals with which Angela Kelly, her long time dresser and in-house dress designer, so lavishly bedecked each of the weekend's key Royal looks. Sunday's ruffle-trimmed ivory bouclé, Monday's golden lamé evening dress and yesterday's pistachio chiffon and tulle coat-dress were all dotted with just the right amount of special-occasion bling, and all balanced by one of a successiveness of practical black handbags.

Duchamp sounds French. In fact it was founded by an Englishman, who then sold it to a Franco-Scot (with a Greek surname), who newly chosen a young Italo-Edinburghian as its designer. Gianni Colarossi (that designer) has been producing Duchamp's sumptuously elegant collections of jackets, coats, suits, shirts and other masculine garments for just a year now, but they are already selling well, from Bloomingdales to Selfridges. Duchamp's mastery of shades much bolder than the blues and charcoals so many men stick to is long-established. Sadly as yet unphoto-graphed (though it is in store), the new winter collection is particularly wonderful, boasting colour-hazed Harris tweed jackets that have something lushly Italian about them, macs to see you sunnily through winter and plenty of quietly effervescent shirts.

This was the beginning day of Royal Ascot’s regime change and the new guidelines were taking a little time to bed in. Amazingly vertiginous, slender girls in dresses no bigger than a bus ticket still perambulated the winners enclosure, arm in arm with the (inevitable) fatter best friend. Limbs were still, given fresh weather, suspiciously bronzed, with a top note of orange. I saw at least one fascinator and a woman who seems to have mistaken the race course for a trade show, who was trying to pimp lurid nylon arm bands that she suggested (wrongly) solved the problem of bingo wings in sleeveless dresses. And those are the ones who weren't barred entry. These transgressions, if transgressions they be, happened in the Grandstand and Silver Ring, where dress codes are more comfortable. In the Royal Enclosure, where admission is far stricter and based on who you know, hats had to have a minimum base of 10cm; dresses can be sleeveless but must have straps no narrower than 2.5cm.

If we gleaned one fashion tip from the Jubilee marathon it's this: knee-length ne'er lets you down, particularly if you're sitting down. Unlike the two inch above the knee length of which younger Royals and yet the generally sure-footed Duchess of Cambridge were for so long enamoured, it won't throw your entire outfit out of whack so that even the most clueless bloke is forced to shake his head defeatedly and confess: "I don't know what's wrong there, but something doesn't look right."I love a Panama. It's a hat that doesn't scream HAT. It doesn't demand that you perpetually keep one hand anchoring the crown to your scalp in the inevitable gale force eight. If you need to kiss someone, you can - without navigating an architectural flower or a witty veil. Jacket lengths are as critical as skirt lengths. This summer's resurgent boxy tweed jackets are lovely, but any longer than hip length and they swerve into frump territory. This is a good dress by the way: comfortable without being a dreaded wrap, and versatile.

The University of Central Lancashire stole the show with a show up collection of 17 graduates which included Claire Acton's rainbow parade of fringing and faces; Emma Guilfoyle's twisted take on heritage in which images of the Iron Lady and Churchill were mixed with patchwork tweed; and Xiaoping Huang's concertina-pleated extravaganza in a mix of music-sheet print and bold colour. Just as strong, but worked in monochrome, was Helen Butcher's black-and-white, multi-print, multi-layered collection, in the University of East London show, which featured tailcoat tailoring and flowing maxi-dresses.

Chloe won both the coveted Gold Award, given by sponsors George and worth £20,000, for the best student collection of 2012, also taking the Best Women’s wear title, with her monastic collection, entitled 'Our Father Who Art in Heaven', which mixed stone-grey chiffon and crystal-embossed sweat-shirting.The award was presented by the International Herald Tribune's fashion editor, Suzy Menkes, style icon, Daphne Guinness, and Fiona Lambert, George's brand director, all of whom were on the judging panel. Other celebrity judges and presenters included Bip Ling, Jefferson Hack, Mary Katrantzou, Julien Macdonald, Matthew Williamson, Daisy Lowe, Mark Fast, David Koma, Caroline Flack, and Louise Redknapp.
