The fashion briefing

Look of the week Drum roll, please. ­Matthew ­Williamson launches MW Matthew Williamson, a snappy, more affordable, diffusion line, featuring swishy little numbers, such as this floral ­cocktail dress (see ­ my-wardrobe.com to buy). For the first season, the theme is urban-gal-hits-a-log-cabin. Translation: blanket-wrap coats, nature-inspired prints (think beetles) and jumpsuits. Add a twist of Williamson glamour – leopard, lamé, cornflower blue and bright pink – and you get the ­picture.

Its latest union, with Dior Homme’s artistic director Kris Van ­Assche, goes on sale this week and ­features this super shopper, which boasts a utility, sporty, supple-cum-slouchy feel. The range features six other styles, including a very nice three-tone backpack. Bang on, Kris. £110, eastpak.com Photograph: PR Celebrity specs January Jones certainly seems to know a thing or two about sun shaders, so it comes as no surprise that the house of ­Versace, with which the actor ­already has a relationship, has named its new eyewear ­collection after her. This pair ­doesn’t have frames; instead, the ­emphasis is on the label’s Medusa ­motif at the ­corner of each lens. It’s sort of like stealth bling, isn’t it? £185, www.sunglasshut.co.uk Photograph: PR Tie watch The “collaboration of the week” prize is awarded to Paul Smith for his new range of goodies created with the Henry Moore Foundation. Smith was given unprecedented access to the ­artist’s archives and has produced ­abstract and figurative prints that are splashed on skirts, dresses, scarves, bags and even the lining of a wallet. There are also three tie designs, which if you like something a bit fancy with your collar could be just the thing. And thanks to The Hour’s male characters, ties are having a moment. Charming. £69, paulsmith.co.uk Photograph: PR Splurge Over the years, Repetto ballet pumps have been worn by ballerinas and celebrities. As of today, you can partake in a spot of Repetto ­bespoke pumpery at Selfridges’ shoe galleries. Choose from 250 colours, add a contrast trim or some lace, and then, just four weeks later, your very own shoes will be ready. Fancy. £345, selfridges.com Photograph: PR
