Paul Smith A/W 2007

It's a look: Drop-waists, flapper dresses, Mary-Janes and pin-curled bobs gave the collection a pretty, Twenties vibe

Girls will be boys: The opening look – an oversized jumper over a man's shirt and shorts – looked like the model had sifted through her boyfriend's wardrobe before stepping on the catwalk

Fashion favourite: A scoop-neck, knee-length cream flapper dress that was Paul Smith at his quintessential British best

Best left on the catwalk: Neon might be hot news right now, but Smith's fluorescent pinks jarred against the pin-stripes, checks and brown velvet
