London Fashion Week

Forget all the pretty young things, we’ve been to London Fashion Week looking for stylish over-forties - and there are plenty to choose from! Here are some of our favourites… hey, who needs the catwalk?


We love this vintage Pierre Cardin skirt. Dawn Green, 45, found it on one of her buying trips for designer, Paul Smith, and couldn’t bear to part with it.



William Gilchrist, 44, always wears a suit and always rides a bike...unless it’s raining when he sticks his Brompton in the back of a cab! Here he is, cutting a dash in an Oliver Spencer jacket.


‘Ban beige!’ says Sue Evans, 62. We love the way she teams clashing brights with a striking necklace, ‘ I’d like to say it’s Marni but it’s actually Accessorize!’


We spotted MJ Taylor - and her eye-catching coat - in the crowd, and weren’t surprised to hear that this elegant lady has been modelling for over 40 years. She’s got class, oh and we like her vintage brooches too.


Brian Godbold, 66, has an OBE for services to British fashion design. The former chairman of the British Fashion Council looks fantastic in Helmut Lang suit, Gap scarf and Prada shoes.
