Known as a laboratory of ideas, the house's forward thinking ideas may not be worn at face value but here is a Margiela enthusiast fully embracing Spring 2009's circular cut leather jacket with their signature ‘Incognito’ sunglasses. Now that's a die hard fan.

She usually doesn't tend to play favourites with her extensive wardrobe, but Anna really favoured her white beaded Givenchy blouse during Paris fashion week. Pairing it either with her Balmain military jacket or pale pink coat, her Givenchy blouse added that couture touch that we have grown to love from designer Riccardo Tisci.
