When it comes to colour and pattern most of us tend to only dabble in a little leopard print, a slick of red lipstick here and there or the odd pop of a bright shoe. And yes, we've seen the trend for colour blocking, but give most girls a bit of black and some leather and she'll do wonders with it.

But looking ahead to autumn/winter comfort zones are about to be forgotten. Prints are set to be vibrant, clashing and know nothing about restraint. Working this trend early is Matthew Williamson's graphic black and yellow top paired with Diane Von Furstenburg skirt. The Bulldozer necklace and bracelet throw a hint of brilliantly gaudy glamour into the mix. Be bold, get brave with your prints.

Thanked by women worldwide for creating the 'wrap' dress, running a multi million pound fashion empire and speaking out against controversial issues facing the industry, Diane Von Furstenberg has spent 30 influential years in the business.

A fellow lover of print, Matthew Williamson is a designer loved by many for his vibrant dresses. Graduating from Central St Martins in June 1994 with a BA in Fashion Design and Printed Textiles, Matthew's first job following graduation was a freelance design project with Marni. He was then employed by Monsoon & Accessorize and it was his trips to India that inspired his designer dreams.

We've stepped into the weird world of the Belgian Surrealist Magritte where bowler hats, pipes and floating apples appear. Magritte's visual scenes have long been a reference point for fashion as fabrics and shapes are juxtaposed with the same dream like aesthetic. (Just take a look at Viktor & Rolf or Comme des Garcons for clues).

Here the James Lock & Co. bowler hat sits perched and high while the cropped pop of the Paul Smith trousers leap from the painting. The TIBI coat running from wool to fine, almost dripping lace sits delicately against the shock of red. The sheer peep of the top is an Eudon Choi creation.

From the mirror emerges the beautifully cut Miu Miu shoes in patent, slick black leather. On the lips the Ben Wade pipe produces a flock of birds.

But as surreal as this world appears this look is a simple moment of colour and clever play with proportions.

Oh us mullti tasking woman folk. Not content with just looking sleek we can turn our hand to a spot of ping pong in sports luxe Tim Soar top and Hugo Boss shorts.

A band of pure white streaks across the black buttoned up wool, with signature Soar minimalism. But with a hint of Flo-Jo, the '80s track star known for her incredible manicured nails and extravagant bling, our girl wears the giant brash gold of Moschino hoops, Hannah Martin necklace and Daisy Knight rings.

Strong lines, a pop of pink against the monochrome and slick high pony tail keep the look fresh and steer it gently away from looking like you're heading for the treadmill.

Tim Soar set up POST Design in the 1980s, moonlighted as a DJ and set up global music consultancy Music Concrete before launching his label SOAR In 2006. Known for mixing high end tailoring with sportswear Tim's designs for both men and women bring a refined androgyny.
