Latest from The World of Fashion

While last weekend the news was out that Patrick Kelty and Cat Deely had got married in Rome it was impossible to find pictures of her dress. 

However Holly Valance was getting married to Nick Candy in Beverly Hills and there were lots of pictures.

Holly wore a wedding dress designed by J’Aton which and  combined a meringue like skirt and a bodice top. Her 39 year old husband was dressed by Dolce Gabbana..

Meanwhile Mr Middleton was giving away another Bride in the heart of England not another daughter however, this time is was a friend of the family with a stunning vintage inspired wedding dress.

Pretty Pippa, left, wore a coffee-coloured dress in broderie anglaise.

While canny Kate, right,  wore a pastel blue silk Erdem Moralioglu dress with floral embroidery, which she also wore to Trooping the Colour in June. Pippa wore a romantic rose on a small beret and Kate wore the same hat with her  Erdem again.

While in Downton Abbey Lady Edith was upstaging her sisters in her wedding dress which I need to watch on the television tonight to get you some good images. However sadly the wedding was stopped as the groom took cold feet. The Girls all looked stunning.

In Paris Chanel was putting on a show  which looked like it had been inspired  from the past but in a perfect in every way.

It makes you look forward to what is to come in Spring Summer 2013.

Alexander McQueen's successor set Paris abuzz with her bee-inspired collection, while Chanel wowed, yet again, with restrained elegance and colourful boucle at the Grand Palais, and Valentino went for power with print and patterns during day eight of the spring/summer 2013 collections

Sarah Burton is in a sweet spot. The fashion  house at which she succeeded the late Alexander  McQueen is riding a wave of commercial success, powered by last year's royal wedding dress. Meanwhile her catwalk collections, which were good right from the start, get better with each passing season.

Her collection for Alexander McQueen was a knockout not only by her standards, but by those set by McQueen himself. Burton's McQueen is a different place from that which she inherited: she has clipped some of the thorns, and let the sunlight in.

The queen bee and her hive were the starting points for a collection which was, as is right and proper at McQueen, tempting as honey but with a deadly sting. Organza and lace suits were embroidered with hexagons and honey bees; cocktail dresses in nectar-sweet colours were dotted with appliqué flowers caught between their silk layers.

Beekeeper hats in laser-cut patent leather and crystal wedge heels packed honeycomb-tight with amber crystals bookended looks of perfect symmetry. By the time Burton took her bow, to the tune of the Archies' Sugar Sugar, the designer had made one thing very clear: duchesses are terrifically useful publicity, but this label needs no other queen bee.
