Matthew Williamson For H&M

Matthew Williamson For H&M

Welcome to FemaleFirst's fourth instalment of the 2009 Fashion Forecast; here we'll be bringing you all the big trends, events and stylish celebs of the year, all broken down month by month. 

One thing's for certain, and that's that the months are now passing us by at an alarming rate, because it's now time to look at all things fabulously fashionable for April.

Matthew Williamson For H&M finally lands in store on April 24, and we for one are more than just a little excited. Having giving you a sneak peak of some of the goodies last week, we predict handbags will be flying when the collection hits the high-street, you have been warned!

Sunglasses are now officially making their way out of hibernation, as the weather hots up. Treat yourself to a pair of coloured wayfarers, aviators or Posh Spice bug-like glasses this season, to make the ultimate style statement. 

Kate Moss has unveiled her ninth collection for Topshop earlier this month, and from what we've seen and heard, Miss Moss is showing no signs of losing her creative pulling power, as most of her pieces have already sold out.

17 Again isn't necessarily fashion related, but how could we miss the opportunity to put Zac Efron in our style guide?! The man looks achingly hot in this new movie, and yes he does get his top off, which is a good a reason as any to go see a film.

Summer Loving officially begins this month, as we all get carried away with the sunshine, the long Bank Holiday and plenty of summer boozing. It will be hard to come back to reality once Tuesday comes round though...

Tanning Season is upon us in April, as the shops all bring out their secret supplies of St. Tropez to tempt us into bronzing. If you've read our beauty guide for this season, then you'll know it's all about the pale glow, but we say there's no harm in browning up occasionally this summer if you want to.

Coco Avant Chanel is released later this month, having had its world premiere in Paris this week, and from what we've heard the Coco Chanel biopic is one of the most stunningly visual fashion films to ever be made. Blimey!

Cartoon Character fashion are set to be all the rage this summer, thanks to designers Jeremy Scott and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac showing the Muppets and Mickey Mouse on their runways. We've always had a soft spot for Kermit...
