WE COULD all use an injection of designer glamour in our wardrobes, but few of us have the It-girl budget to match.

Karen Millen bridges the gap between luxury label and high street pricing in an exclusive look that's sharper than the average high street store. The range is far costlier than a trip to Topshop or Zara, yet the garments have more investment potential than a fickle fashion fix.

And Primrose Hill's girl-next-door Daisy Lowe has been drafted in to help make the transition from catwalk couture to classic chic.

The 19-year-old lovechild of singer-turned-designer Pearl Lowe and rocker Gavin Rossdale is more at home on the catwalks of Chanel and Vivienne Westwood, or being the body of luxury underwear brand Agent Provocateur.

Her typical indie appeal is tamed and groomed for an ultra-glamorous look to show off the pin-sharp tailoring of Karen Millen's autumn/winter collection.

The range is all about accentuating the hourglass silhouette and highlighting feminine curves, whether in a slim-fitting pencil skirt or fabulous cocktail dress.

The key is in the detail, like the puffed sleeves on its organza blouse, and the angular origami flourishes of its signature jewel-coloured dresses.

We love the touch of Hermes' winged heels to the fabulous black satin courts, while accessories are bold and boisterous, especially in the oversized fringed bags, or the mock-croc skyscraper stilettos.
