Fendi SS09
You wouldn't usually associate aliens with fashion but that may all be about to change as Grazia reports that the little green men from outer space form the inspiration for the creative team at Topshop Unique.
Topshop Unique's current creative director Katie Grand says that the movie Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is inspiring their whole show for London Fashion Week, on February 21st.
Even the invitations for the show continue the theme, they are covered in pictures of flying saucers.
Designers such as Giles, Balmain and Gareth Pugh have both indulged in a little spaceman inspiration already.
Balmain went for futuristic, silver accessories and detail and exaggerated shoulders in their spring summer 2009 collection while Giles mixed girly floral dresses with astronaut helmets.
At Fendi Karl Lagerfeld used white, silver and grey to create futuristic outfits and accessorised with Perspex heels.
To try this trend stick to whites and greys with silver or Perspex accessories. Maybe leave the spaceman helmets at home for now though!
