After Alexander McQueen sadly passed away last month there was absolutely no doubt that the iconic clothing designer would go down in the history books as one of the fashion world’s most prominent figures.

And now his last collection, showcased yesterday (March 9th) at Paris Fashion Week, proved exactly why his beautiful creations look set to be remembered forever.

Intricate detailing, dramatic capes and gothic-inspired designs all featured in the breathtaking autumn/winter 2010 line, which in my mind, is one of the most jaw-droppingly stunning lines I have ever seen.

But it would appear I am not the only one who thinks that the clothing designer’s final collection was perhaps his best, as fashion commentators the world over have being hailing the line a success.

Susannah Frankel over at the Independent described it as "heartbreakingly beautiful", adding that it serves as a testament to "one of the greatest talents the fashion industry has known".

Similarly, Suzy Menkes, of the New York Times, called the showcase "a requiem for a great designer".

Earlier this week, McQueen was awarded with a posthumous accolade at the Brit Insurance Design Awards for his spring/summer 2010 collection, with judge and style editor of Grazia magazine Paula Reed calling the late clothing designer "a clear winner".

Do you think Alexander McQueen’s autumn/winter 2010 collection is his best yet?

The ever-fabulous Agyness Deyn is a firm favourite here at Secret Sales HQ - not only does she manage to come up with designer clothing ensembles that many of us can only dream of, but she always seems to put her own unique stamp on every outfit she fashions.

And to be honest it was only a matter of time before she joined the ranks of celebrities such as Kate Moss and Alexa Chung by creating her own clothing line, which is why her recent collaboration with department store Barneys comes as no surprise.

The model’s first 11-piece collection for Barneys Japan - entitled I Am by Agyness Deyn for Barneys Green - was revealed on Tuesday (March 9th) at the store’s Kobe branch.

Featuring leggings, knitwear, dresses, tops and scarves, the line comes as part of Barneys new environmental initiative Go Green Go.

So not only has Agyness managed to produce a fabulous collection to rival that of a top designer, but she is also helping the planet, with proceeds from the clothing line being put towards the planting of trees in Mongolia.

Good on you, Agyness.

The model is the latest celebrity to prove that you can look fabulous while keeping your principles in mind - Emma Watson’s recent ethical clothing collaboration with People Tree has proved a hot favourite with us here at Secret Sales.

Will you be getting your hands on any of Agyness’ collection?

Lindsay Lohan is perhaps not best known for her reliability, or in fact, her designer clothing know-how but that didn’t stop the Emanuel Ungaro brand from taking the star under their wing as artistic director last year.

And unfortunately for the French fashion house, the collaboration between the pair seems to have been one huge flop.

When Lindsay was hired, it was hoped that the young star would inject a bit of life into the somewhat lagging brand - after all, she’s certainly not known for being shy and retiring.

However, her designer clothing debut collection, showcased last October in Paris, was described by fashion commentators as tacky, cheesy and "an embarrassment", with the label absolutely panned for its decision to feature models wearing truly vile heart-shaped nipple tassels.

If this wasn’t bad enough, Lindsay has put the final nail in the coffin by not even bothering to show up for the Emanuel Ungaro autumn/winter 2010 collection on Monday at Paris Fashion Week.

The brand’s owner Ashim Abdullah told Women’s Wear Daily backstage: "She’s not involved in this collection."

So whether Ungaro dumped Lindsay or she decided she just couldn’t be bothered with the world of designer clothing anymore remains to be seen but I know what my money is on!

What do you put Lindsay’s no-show down to?

With the Oscars being one of the biggest events on the designer clothing world’s calendar each year, we here at Secret Sales HQ were eagerly awaiting the reports of who pulled out all the stops on the red carpet.

While I would have quite possibly given my right arm to be there, unfortunately I had to make do with pouring over pictures of a whole host of celebrities in an array of fabulous designer dresses yesterday morning.

And one thing that quickly became apparent to me was that there was one designer who absolutely stole the show - Giorgio Armani.

While the iconic Italian clothing designer’s gowns always tend to get more than their fair share of celebrity wearers at glittering events, Sunday’s Oscars seemed to be near-enough a clean sweep.

Jennifer Lopez, Hilary Swank and Amanda Seyfried were just some of the stars who fashioned gorgeous Armani creations.

If there is a prize to be awarded for Most Daring Dress, it simply has to go to Hilary, who wore a breathtaking Giorgio Armani Prive black gown, with a cut-out back and a plunging neckline that was slashed almost to the navel.

While I’m not too sure that many of us would be able to get away with this number, it certainly looked fab on super-toned Hilary.

Teaming the designer dress with a bling-tastic diamond pendant and platform heels by Secret Sales favourite Jimmy Choo, the Oscar-winning actress certainly looked like a Million Dollar Baby.

Do you think Armani is a good choice for awards ceremonies?

We here at Secret Sales HQ are forever pouring over fashion magazines in the hope of emulating the clothing trends of our favourite celebrities (Carey Mulligan is the number one choice for me at the moment).

But while we are fully aware that Hollywood stars have teams of stylists picking out hoards of fabulous designer clothes for them, personal trainers aplenty and dozens of people responsible for their hair and makeup, trying to look like them can be, quite frankly, exhausting.

And it would appear that one expert agrees - Dr Dawn Harper, of the gruesomely addictive Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies, says that women place far too much pressure on themselves to try and look like their favourite celebrities.

She states: "We are bombarded with images of beautiful celebrities who not only have personal trainers and a makeup artist and a hairdresser and a stylist, but also they have the benefit of the best photographers and the odd airbrush."

However, Dawn adds that for we mere mortals, trying to look like a celebrity just isn’t practical. Phew, I’ve never heard a better excuse to spend an evening alone with a family-sized bar of chocolate!

She goes on to suggest that looking good is all about how you feel - if you know that a little black designer dress made you feel a million dollars last time you wore it, why not pull it out again?

"If you feel good generally you will feel better about yourself," says Dawn.

A recent survey by Tena Lady revealed that 53 per cent of women questioned feel that they are judged on their physical appearance when they first meet a new person.

Do you think it’s unrealistic to try and look like a celebrity?
