Trends
Geek Chic was all over the spring/summer 08 catwalks in September and is set to be huge in 2008. The comic book style black rimmed glasses, blazers and prissy prints seen in collections by the likes of Luella Bartley and Peter Jensen is set to take over the high street by spring.Globe Trotter is a mix of ethnic prints and nomadic embroidery that will be big for spring/summer. Marc Jacobs showed us how it's done at London Fashion Week with his mix of bold tribal prints and loose kaftan dresses. Safari is also a big look for next year with almost every s/s collection featuring at least a hint of the explorer look.
Candy Stripes are another big must-have for 2008. Blazers, jeans and dresses have all been given the preppy treatment in time for spring. Beware: Stripes can be disastrously unflattering if worn in the wrong way. Keep an eye out for Female First's guide to stripes in the New Year.
Designers
Krystof Strozyna has been announced on the list of New Generation winners last week after having only graduated from Central Saint Martins ten months ago. His fifties inspired MA collection went down a storm so we're expecting big things from his fashion week debut.
Henry Holland , yes we know we have raved on about how great Henry is for the last few months but 2008 really is going to be his year. He proved in his spring/summer 08 collection that he can do more than just make witty slogan t-shirts so we're looking forward to more of the same next year.
Celebs
Amber Le Bon is the gorgeous daugher of Simon and Yasmin Le Bonn. As her mother announced her retirement from modelling Amber emerged as a promising young talent with the same stunning good looks. With a rock star dad and supermodel mum Amber is no stranger to the celeb world so watch out for her on the party circuit next year.
Katie Leung , the young girl who played Harry Potter's first love, Cho Chang, may not immediately spring to mind as being at the height of fashion. However the 20 year old actress was spotted mixing at all the hottest parties during London Fashion Week and has been sporting some top class outfits over the last few months. This along with her striking good looks make her a prime candidate for future fashion icon status.
Alfie Allen is the next member of the Allen family to step into the limelight. Lily's little bro has already had a song made about him, played a few small roles in films such as Agent Cody Banks, Elizabeth and this year's smash Atonement. Now he's dating another young offspring starlet, Jaime Winstone, and the pair are set to be the hottest new couple on the party scene in 2008.
