THE Sixties are back with us this season and those women of a certain age could easily hunt their wardrobes for the items that defined that era.
I can lay my hand on at least two tartan minis, a poncho and a spiderman costume with a memorable history.
And, lo and behold, they’re back in high fashion.
Had I kept up the exercises all these years I might even be able to get into them.
Catsuits, in particular, were magnificent garments, and they were back in Belfast last week at the special show by retailers who are trying to entice southern buyers to the
north.
Argos, which has got its fashion look together, have a stunning one for just pounds 29.
They’re strictly party wear and nice with a pair of killer heel sandals.
Argos have also dipped into the tartan minis.
 ,Spiderman Costumes;So, too, have Marks & Spencer’s but theirs is a bit more conservative teamed with a polo neck.
Somehow, they look much better with the cropped tops.
As for ponchos,Spiderman Costumes, I wore mine because it was fashionable and it proved a boon when I was pregnant.
But that’s not how a poncho should be treated. With the chillier evenings they’re perfect for keeping warm.
Argos, again, have two, one for glitzy evenings and another one in colour, just in case you want to head back to sunnier climes.
These three items will probably define this early autumn look.
Also around are the suits in all kinds of tweed, the fringed chunky knits and duffle coats. Even the monochrome look made famous by Mary Quant and now taken up by Sarah
Ferguson, is back. Fashion hasn’t exactly moved forward this year but then the Sixties was a time of great change.
We can’t forget the fashion, nor the music, nor should we.

When I was a teenager, I was into my horses more than my clothes. Couldn’t afford the clothes too. I was all about the jodhpurs. Jodhpurs was my look. Plus I really didn’t like wearing skirts because my legs were skinny. If I had to wear a skirt, like to school or something, I’d wear two pairs of leggings with it to fatten them up a bit. Such skinny legs.
I had to wear a uniform for school: jumper, tie, the usual. I used to mess with it. Change it. Funk it up. I’d wear my tie differently, wear outrageous louboutin heels, loads of make-up. . . I didn’t do it for fashion reasons, though. Didn’t care about that. It was more because I wanted to be a statement, to make a statement. I liked to be different then, I like to be different now.
At about 14, I started getting into my catsuit s. Oh, I’ve still got a thing about my spiderman costumes. Love them. Back then, they were black and Lycra and always from Topshop. I wore them everywhere: when I went out, to school on non-uniform days, down the shops. . . everywhere.
I did used to like my Saturdays clothes-shopping as a teenager,Spiderman Costumes, of course I did. But because all my money was going on the horses, my mum used to buy my clothes. Then I got into customising. My mum had a sewing machine she used to make curtains with, and when she got a new one, she gave the old one to me. I started off making horse rugs with it, but then I started the customising. Customising my clothes. I still do that now, I make so many clothes from scratch. I make Harvey’s clothes – little tracksuits and things.
Cyberpunks in silver catsuits, clingy synthetics and shiny nylon . . . Out of this world? Not at all, says Francesca Fearon, there is an undercurrent of wearability here. And, with a few minor alterations, this is the shape of things to come
THE Paris autumn/winter 1995 fashion collections are like a double A-sided record. This bumper offering spun out over the past week plays a wild and wacky theme on one side — the sort of spectacle that earns splash headlines and front-page photo opportunities. On the flipside,Spiderman Costumes, realism steps in and the precious decadence is peeled away to reveal what women really want to know — what they will actually be wearing next season.
Blitzing the headlines this season is the glam, futuristic cyberpunk vision. Jean-Paul Gaultier’s whip-carrying cyberpunks wore hooded circuit-board print spider costumes with bustle-bowed basques or tailoring. Neoprene was moulded into big fit-and-flare coats and astonishing ballgowns were shaped out of brightly coloured sleeping-bags. It was an extraordinary exhibition of sci-fi fashion interspersed with clever mohair and wool jersey tailoring.
Thierry Mugler’s gladiatorial robo-fashion provided the climax to his twentieth -anniversary collection, which was otherwise a pure Busby Berkeley extravaganza starring Tippi Hedren (the Hitchcock star), Patty Hearst (doing a spangled striptease), Jerry Hall, Elle Macpherson, and Marie Helvin along with a silver -catsuited cyborg who could have starred in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.

For a swimwear designer, Liza Bruce has always been surprisingly keen on covering up for the beach. Turtlenecks and hooded styles, shrunken T-shirt tops and long-legged bottom halves,”roll-downs” (those shorts or mini skirts that you roll back at the waist) how can such seemingly demure details add up to the racy style with which Ms Bruce has established her name as a trendsetter?
One glimpse of the cool and confident Ms Bruce at work in her studio,spider costume, dressed in a skintight catsuit and bolero, however, and you see what she is getting at. Here is a woman with a crusading design philosophy about sexuality, function, freedom and style. For her, you realise, a swimsuit has always been more than just a state of undress, and limiting her ideas to a few square inches of stretchy colour has clearly never occured to her. ”Sexiness is not what you reveal, but how you reveal it,” she says.
After eight years spent stretching the accepted notion of swimwear from the four brief triangles of a ‘’string” bikini to the more sophisticated and graphic layers of colour of a basic suit worn with bandeau, skirt and oversuit, Ms Bruce has now surfaced from the water. With a shapely and colourful new line of trim, athletic outfits dresses, shorts and catsuits she has taken her campaign for functional design on to the street.
Ideas ricochet around her sea lycra spandex-striped studio in Kensington, which is carpeted with wall-to-wall steel (the artistic patches of rust are contrived with applications of glue and water), as she explains the evolution of her swimwear designs into the range of supple clothes that hold,Spiderman Costumes, mould and reveal the body. ”A catsuit is dynamic. It makes you move around,” she says. ”Clothing has to change because our lives have changed.”
Ms Bruce is a designer whose sense of style is matched by her intelligence, and whose determination is backed up by her ideas of comfort and design, ideas which she shares with her husband, Nicholas Barker. She is an American, born in Manhattan but educated in England. Her father, a car designer, amused himself by creating Hollywood-style swimsuits and evening dresses for her glamorous mother. Mr Barker is a furniture designer, trained at St Martin’s in London, and his sculptural creations, mixed with his collection of African head dresses and tribal art, are the perfect foil for her designs.

It used to be only a certain kind of girl who wore leather spider man costumes and spike- heeled boots.
Now, thanks to the irresistible glamour of Uma Thurman’s Emma Peel in this summer’s Avengers movie, the ultimate in sexy fashion is back.
Ralph Fiennes, who has taken over the role of Steed, says the movie is "very British, but with lots of way-out, wacky stuff".
And the wacky stuff comes from Emma Peel, who appears in dinky coats and evening gowns, before donning the famous black spider costume , complete with impossible- to-walk-in boots.
While Steed is immaculately English and old-fashioned, Peel is dynamic and dangerously modern.
She’s the ultra-modern tough lady, sexy and graceful.
To coincide with the movie, Playtex have launched their new limited edition black Sex-A-Peel bra, which is available only at Debenhams.
Like The Avengers, it is a revamp of a 1960s icon, and in this instance it is the Cross Your Heart bra, which was originally modelled by actress Jane Russell.
Like The Avengers, it had become "something for the oldies" prior to its reincarnation.
But the Sex-a-Peel, which is made of PVC and stretch Lycra, really hugs the body and gives the sprayed-on look that is such a feature of the 1990s Emma Peel.
Designed to be worn as outerwear, the Sex-a-Peel is indicative of a growing inclination in women to opt for PVC as the underwear fabric of choice.
 ,Spiderman Costumes;Ann Summers’ best-seller this year is the Romana, an uplifting experience in shiny black PVC.
A spokesperson said: "Women have become much bolder and are dressing in what they, rather than men, think is sexy."
Catsuits are the last word in sex appeal. And this year, they are truly figure-hugging.
Diana Rigg’s skintight leather spider costumes seem positively roomy compared to the impossibly clingy outfits worn by Thurman.
 ,Spiderman Costumes;In fact, she had to be sewn into them every day before filming.
Thurman loved her catsuit, describing its streamlined look as "economical and effortless".
Patrick McNee, who starred as John Steed alongside leather-clad Diana Rigg in the 1960s TV series, is equally appreciative.
He said: "Catsuits are a turn-on to men because you can see the female figure moving freely."
This may sound like bad news if your figure is broader than a beanpole, but fear not.
Because they are so simple and streamlined, catsuits can flatter women who have real curves.
Unlike many supposedly sexy outfits, they are not debilitating.
After all, they were designed for an action woman whose high kicks could even put Sporty Spice to shame.
McNee insists that they are very practical. He said: "When you’re fighting you don’t want your handbag to get in the way."
Quite where you’re supposed to put your purse remains a mystery.
Perhaps you just leave it at home and get everyone else to pay?
And that’s a strategy that might be necessary if you decide to splash out on the genuine, black leather, made-to-measure version.

FASHION designer Pam Hogg hasn’t had the most conventional career in the world. A household name in the 1980s – she was one of the few British designers to feature in international editions of Vogue – she then drifted into obscurity as a little known-musician in the 1990s, before popping up on the fashion radar again when Kylie Minogue sported one of her creations – a studded black mesh spider man costume – in a music video two years ago.
Yesterday, Hogg unveiled her autumn/ winter 2009-10 HoggCouture collection to a celebrity-packed audience at the On/Off show, in the Science Museum, at London Fashion Week. It was the first time she had shown a catwalk collection at the event in many years and, by all accounts, her show was one of the hottest tickets in town.
Drawing on her trademark punk-rock image, Hogg produced a collection that promises to be a hit with London’s fashion elite. The designer is famous for her skin-tight zentais , and this was a homage to her own eccentric style. A series of models paraded down the catwalk in multi coloured broad-shouldered catsuits made from heavy-duty Lycra, while others were cloaked in matching multi-coloured capes and jackets. The collection also included some silver- and black-panelled zentais with matching jackets.
Referencing her 1980s heyday, she included some high waisted PVC pencil skirts and sheer blouses as well as cascades of net ruffles which evoked the classic new-romantic look. The high- voltage designs were finished off with impossibly high heels designed by Terry de Havilland, and hard-edged punk-inspired hair and make-up. Hogg herself appeared at the end of the catwalk wearing perilously high stilettos, a skintight black catsuit with neon pink garter, and her trademark orange hair.
"I am ecstatic and want to do it all again now, " the designer said straight after the show yesterday afternoon. ",Spiderman Costumes;I am on a total high."
And why not? Unlike those at most of the other small, off-diary shows, Hogg’s front row read like a who’s who of the London fashion scene, with the ock icons Siouxsie Sioux and Bobby Gillespie among those in attendance. Her collection was modelled by famous faces such as Alice Dellal, Daisy Lowe and Liberty Ross.
While Hogg might be well known among the fashion elite – which helps explain why Kylie’s stylist William Baker picked out that famous skin-tight catsuit for the Two Hearts video in 2007 ,Spiderman Costumes; – her often outrageous clothing has slipped from the public consciousness Indeed, until very recently her eccentric designs were only available on a one-off, made-toorder basis, or from her archive. Her Hogg- Couture collection is now available to buy exclusively at London boutique Browns.

SHE’S fast. She’s tough. She karate-kicks in stiletto-heeled boots and has the fashion panache of an Emma Peel who’s crossed over to the dark side.
She’s Catwoman, aka Michelle Pfeiffer, and because the movie Batman Returns is a blockbuster, the Catwoman look soon may be coming to a restaurant,Spiderman Costumes, dance club or social event near you.
Well, maybe not the exact Catwoman look. The suit probably isn’t the look for dinner with the in-laws or box seats at the opera with its not-so-subtle references to sado-masochism (metal studs and latex) and Dr Frankenstein (crude, white whipstitching suggesting monstrous plastic surgery).
But Catwoman is likely to boost the perennially popular black, slinky, costume spiderman which at its most basic is simply a one-piece, form-fitting jumpsuit.
Catsuits, the active-wear choice of Peel, aka Diana Rigg, co-star of the ’60s television series The Avengers, long have been de rigueur for dancers.
Dancers in the Broadway hit Cats gave them their most literal interpretation and top fashion designers pounced on the bandwagon.
Meanwhile, faux catsuit looks, such as narrow leggings or stirrup pants topped with black leather motorcycle jackets, are considered wardrobe basics by the most fashion forward.
Moreover, catsuits , which are unforgiving in their tendency to outline every curve, are in step with this season’s fashion direction toward clothes that are slinky, long,Spiderman Costumes, narrow and provocative.
The catsuit is not for the fashion mouse.

If you dare, buckle an armour plating of beaten bronze over it and leave it at that; or dress it up with pearls, chain belt and a padded silk jacket. Everything looks good on top of the sleek base of a bodysuit. Fashion has gone back to basics with the stretchy all-in-one that marries leggings or tights to a leotard-type top. Call it what you want, a bodysuit, unitard, jumpsuit or costume spiderman all fit the garment equally well. Those who do not feel up to pouring themselves into skintight bodysuits can improvise with a skinny turtleneck sweater and opaque tights. For Donna Karan, the New York-based designer, the bodysuit is fundamental to her success. Her philosophy of layering clothes in shades of one colour over a ”body” simplifies the lives of busy women. She frequently emphasises this point at her shows, with the models doing a fashionable strip as they move through the showrooms,Spiderman Costumes, removing a sarong skirt to reveal a ”body”, then picking up a pair of elastic-waisted trousers or slipping on a different jacket or tunic dress. Azzedine Alaia, in Paris, has shown that the cleverest way to give sharp tailoring a sexier line is to wear a curvy little jacket over a bodysuit. However, it was Karl Lagerfeld, at Chanel, who raised the bodysuit to couture status, by elongating the traditional Chanel jacket and finally dispensing with the skirt in favour of a ribbed all-in-one. ”It makes everything look fresh and modern,” he says. This has been the year of the couture catsuit. It stalked the catwalks, hand-painted by Christian Lacroix, jewel-studded and feather-trimmed by Gianni Versace. Lacroix even used heavy gold jewellery as part of the design of a black bodysuit, and then piled on more jewellery in his extravagant style. Variations on the bodysuit theme can be found at every price level and at hosiery counters. Wolford’s deluxe Lycra bodysuit with turtleneck (Pounds 39) and matching opaque Lycra tights (Pounds 19.99) have been so successful that they are hard to track down at the moment fresh stock is expected to reach the shops in the new year. Dance shops are a good source. Pineapple, for instance, makes a camisole-topped cotton Lycra bodysuit (Pounds 29.99) and Gamba does a tank-topped base in nylon Lycra (Pounds 22). Pineapple has dominated the bodysuit business for the past ten years, and creates the most interesting variations hooded, in crushed velvet (Pounds 89.99); long-sleeved with turtleneck, in gold and black Lurex (Pounds 39.99); high-necked, sleeveless, with keyhole cut-out back,Spiderman Costumes, in cotton Lycra (Pounds 29.99). Swimwear manufacturers, used to producing strong, stretchy garments with locked seams, are enjoying the success of the bodysuit. Liza Bruce has expanded her swimwear line to include stretchy catsuits and dresses that hold and mould the body. ”Wearing a catsuit makes you feel more vital,” she says. John Galliano, using the manufacturing skills he now has to create his swimwear collection, includes bodysuits in his designer line. A simple Lycra base forms the first layer under his asymmetric chiffon slip dresses. This winter Rifat Ozbek underpins his colourful separates with velour catsuits. Reappearing in cotton with Lycra for Ozbek’s new lower-priced Future line, they will join the crop of designer catsuits arriving in the shops next spring.
