Florence Welch London - Arabstoday We don\'t see enough Anna Sui out there in my opinion, so big high fives to Florence Welch this week for playing dress-up in this jaunty number from the kooky New York designer\'s autumn/winter 2011 collection. Back to that in two ticks. First of all I\'d like to place an official complaint about fashion houses giving famous faces all these ahead-of-the-season clothes. I\'m sure it\'s very exciting for them and everything but it\'s really not doing the upcoming collections any favours seeing it paraded all about here and there when we can\'t get anywhere near it yet. In fact, it\'s making me feel altogether glum about autumn/winter 2011. Like it\'s already been done and dusted so I might as well just skip to spring/summer 2012 - which probably Gwyneth Paltrow will be wearing any second now anyway. (I actually got quite excited earlier today seeing a photograph of Olivia Palermo bucking the fashion-forward trend in a current season Victoria Beckham dress. Spring/summer clothes as late as June ? I exclaimed. Heavens, how novel!) Anyway, back to the frock. And it really is a \'frock\' this one, isn\'t it? It\'s lovely with the Mary Janes and the Chanel Mademoiselle bag, and I do like a red head in shocking pink. As ever though, Florence should have left her hat at the door. Always goes a hat too far that one.
