    Model Citizen

    LA, pay attention (yes we mean you Paris and Lindsay) this is how you take a mug shot. Model Maaike is the mistress of cunning disguise as she sulks and pouts under inspection, taking on six different looks for her line up.

     

    She was caught with sleek parted hair and buttoned up top to toe florals from Mary Katrantzou with a Disaya Sorakraikitikul neckalce slung round her neck.

     

    Turning for inspection she wears a crushed velvet Michael Van der Ham dress in smokey pink teamed with Louboutin boots, studded and hard against pretty lilac florals.

     

    Out steps the 60s cheerleader who pulled on a Rag and Bone baseball jacket and wool Suno skirt that's perfectly preppy with its pleats and cheque. Squeaky clean Manolo Blahnik shoes finish her getup.

     

    Take a good look. Do you recognise her in AW11 Missoni's heavy lilac wool shorts and speckled knit jumper with Mulberry bag? Her hair pulled back from her face frames the Diesel shirt and she stomps off in open back Marni heels.

     

    With a sultry flick of the hair and wry half smile she emerges in the pure silk of The Only Son with its deconstructed lines and graphic pattern.

     

    In her last turn under the spotlight she stands in Stella McCartney, the velvet top draped over Peter Pilotto's long tartan inspired skirt. The miniature gold Givenchy bag is swinging from her arm.

     

    It's got to be a crime to look this good.

    Back to boarding school cool with Erdem

    The neat Marni fur collar, sensible hem, pulled up jolly hockey sticks style socks and glossy curls suggests the inspiration behind this look was Enid Blyton's Mallory Towers boarding school.

     

    But this is is one school where rules are broken. Beneath the prim, luxurious Rocha jumper comes the passion of Erdem's Pollock like patterns in layered splattered paint. The dark inky colours and wild mood of the dress were based around the rages of Erdem's muse.

     

    His muse was an artists wife, who would slash and claw at her partners canvases, destroying the art and recreating her dresses from the paint torn pieces. She sounds nice...Adding a certain arrogance to the look is the brash gold chains and glean of the Stella McCartney bag, Louis Vuitton necklace and bracelets and Tatty Devine cuff. On her feet are Miu Miu shoes in light copper coloured suede.

     

    Erdem Moralioglu studied at the Royal College of Art. He worked for a designer in New York before setting up his own label which is known for its immaculate cutting and signature florals.

    Diane Von Furstenburg Femme Fatale

    She plays by her own rules, brooding under the dull lights and wafts of smoke with her hair perfectly coifed. Channeling film Noir's Lana Turner or Rita Hayworth this well dressed lady shimmies into a deep plum billowing Diane Von Furstenberg dress and shrugs on Spanish label Loewe's leather jacket.

    Emphasising the female form is the decidedly sexy Naza Yousefi harness with its soft black leather subtlety introducing the fetish trend creeping in for AW11. She packs her Dior handbag and slips on a Ralph Lauren tailored jacket. Making a final dramatic change she wraps up in Burberry's sumptuous fur and quilted coat. She is the 40s femme fatale of because, seductive and dangerously stylish.
