If you can only keep one thing in mind from the Fall-Winter 2015-2016 runway trends, it should be leather, the must-have material for the season. Leather has always been associated with rock music, particularly in the form of the iconic leather jacket, and it has never really left women's wardrobes in ready-to-wear and accessories.

Britain has opened a full investigation into the country’s major modelling agencies to determine whether they fixed the prices they charge for their models, officials said on Friday. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) started an initial investigation in March into “anti-competitive arrangements”, such as whether agencies worked together to set the prices paid by retailers and brands. The competition watchdog has not named any of the agencies under investigation.
