Party in a Cold Climate

Louis Vuitton

Slouchy knits plus elegant evening skirts: it's a modern mash-up for autumn/winter 2010-11. A floor-length skirt and jumper combo is the big news in evening wear.

Vivienne Westwood, godmother of punk fashion, personifies the potent and subversive originality of British fashion. Married to Sex Pistols' manager,  Malcolm McClaren, she sold her innovative and rebellious designs in his shop on London's Kings' Road, a one-stop style shop for punk rockers looking for safety pins, Union Jacks and studs.

Westwood's punk rock attitude to fashion evolved to combine romantic tailoring, skillful corsetry and tough-chic accessories. Despite having been worn by Carrie as she was jilted at the altar in Sex and the City, the Carrie Wedding Dress, from Westwood's AW07 Cave Girl Collection, proved so popular with brides-to-be, it sold out in a matter of hours on NetAPorter.com.

For a Vuitton party look dust down your strapless, flounced and ruffled taffeta-silk ball gown and don a cashmere diamond jumper. Dance til dawn and then, for a morning-after-the-night-before Westwood air, slip on red leather leggings and accessorise with an Alexander McQueen studded Union Jack clutch and her 'Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die' ring.
