Short story

If there was a general message running throughout the Harvey Nichols Spring/Summer Fashion Show, it was to a) invest in a personal trainer b) consider liposuction c) be tantastic.

Why? Because less is more for the next couple of seasons, be it the mini skirt/dress or calf action for the boys in shorts. Jewelled neck lines were bold and patterns were a plenty also, as was demonstrated by the lovely Coronation Street star Tupele Dorgu.
