Trickle-up trend: A fashion trend which, rather than starting with the designer and working its way onto the high street, is based on styles first seen on the streets. Celebrities are often the ones to sport trends before they reach the masses, and many designers have muses who inspire entire ranges, thereby bringing a trend to life.

Vanity sizing: The process where ready-to-wear clothing of the same size has become bigger over time. Critics say that the fashion houses have done this purposely to flatter customers to keep them coming back. However the change in sizes may also reflect the changing average sizes of women.

Fashion shows 
Sienna Miller and sister Savannah brought their fashion brand Twenty8Twelve to London Fashion Week. The collection didn’t disappoint fashion watchers but Sienna isn’t going to let catwalk success distract her from acting.
“Sales have been very good, particularly in England and America, and we felt it was the right time to do a show,” Sienna said. “I’m not giving up acting, I love acting. But I also love working with my sister. We’ve always been two sisters playing dress-up, ever since we were kids and we’re still doing it.”
