Primal and tribal print is a spring summer 2010 trend that “dances to the beat of a tribal drum with modern, African-inspired pieces” – so read in Vogue. Almost every designer includes some exotic influences in their spring summer 2010 collection. Starting from tribal earrings and statement necklaced that everyone can afford, tribal fashion is getting more and more fans worldwide. I prefer classic fashion more than tribal one but I’m fully aware that it’s become so popular that everyone can choose something suitable for themselves.

Exotic touches of the ethnic inspired fashion (often called Boho) have been popularised by such A-listers: Nicole Richie, Vanessa Hudgens, Olsen Twins, Kate Hudson etc. You can get plenty of inspiration from them to create your ultimate ‘Pocahontas look’. Try channelling some earth tones and stone colours and finishing the look with a tribal jewellery (like chunky necklaces) which plays a truly important role in boho chic.

Mexican traditional schemes, stones and feathers will create a Goth Tribal Warrior that was presented on Rodarte spring summer 2010 collection. Their models had the arms painted with makeup to imitate tribal tattoes. They also had dark goth lips and hair wrapped in webbed wool. But remember that a head-to-toe tribal looks too costumey so try adding a modern touch to the fringed lace scarves, sari dresses, crocheted cardigans and wraps in colours. Good luck!

Leopard prints are no longer considered trashy and a bunch of greatest celebrity fashionistas themselves prove it. The animal inspired fabric is favoured by Kate Moss, Lily Cole, Mary-Kate Olsen and Alexa Chung.

Kate Moss has been rocking animal print outerwear for years wearing it to beat the English winter chill. She’s recently worn it with a black zip detail frock and a pair of pointed heels for dinner with her beau.

Mary-Kate Olsen was also snapped wrapped up in spots – she chose a sumptuous leopard print coat for the night at The Museum of Modern Art New York City.

How to wear leopard print coats? For the perfectly trendy wild look choose an animal trench or a fuller swing coat. Cropped or long, keep it chic and simple by pairing it with black jeans or a black dress. Team it with leather for a glam evening look.

Victoria Beckham, who markets sunglasses and jeans under her own designer label, has been judged the world’s worst-dressed celebrity by a leading fashion guru.

Acid-tongued Richard Blackwell, who was designing dresses for the rich and famous when he started the list in 1960, attacked entertainment’s biggest stars in his compilation of fashion disasters for 2007.

It is the second time Mrs Beckham has made an appearance in the list’s number one slot.

In 1998 she featured along with her Spice Girl band mates who were derided by Mr Blackwell as “the only spices on the planet that have no taste.”

And the 85-year-old LA-based designer still had plenty of venom to heap on the mother-of-three this year.

He said: “Forget the fashion spice, wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck-em.”

Other stars listed for their fashion disasters included singers Amy Winehouse, Fergie, Kelly Clarkson and Jessica Simpson, Bond girl Eva Green and actress Lindsay Lohan.

Missing from the list was Britney Spears, who has made it many times before.

“I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her,” Blackwell said.

His best-dressed list for 2007, which is not ranked, included Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Reese Witherspoon, Jemima Khan, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce, Helen Mirren, Katie Holmes, Katherine Heigl and Prince William’s girlfriend, Kate Middleton.

Richard Blackwell started his own clothing line, The House of Blackwell, in the 1950s and dressed actresses Jayne Mansfield and Jane Russell as well as first lady Nancy Reagan, among other famous names.

He was an important designer and during the 1960s he became the first in history to present his line on a television broadcast; and the first to make his line available for plus-size women.

The emergence of casual-wear in the 1980s brought an end to his fashion-line.

He is now best known as a fashion journalist and for producing his annual best and worst dressed lists every January.

The top 10 roll-call of fashion dishonours is:

1. Victoria Beckham – singer/fashion designer. Posh has remained top of the tabloid agenda this year with her move to America and role in reforming the Spice Girls. But despite writing a fashion guide David’s wife, seen stepping out in a neon dress and matching acid-yellow shoes this week, has had her fair share of wardrobe disasters. Mr Blackwell said: “Forget the fashion spice, wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck-em.”

2. Amy Winehouse – singer. The soulful singer, one of the most photographed stars of 2007, is characterised by her slew of trucker tattoos, towering hair-do and thick black-eyeliner. Mr Blackwell said: “Exploding beehives above, tacky polka-dots below, she’s part 50’s carhop horror.”

3. Mary Kate Olsen – actress. With sister Ashley she is one half of the hugely successful Olsen twins, who have starred in TV shows and films as well as having their own clothing and make-up line. Mary Kate has been a regular in the fashion magazines, singled out for her bohemian style and ultra-skinny figure, but it’s not to everyone’s taste. Mr Blackwell said: “She resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane.”

4. Fergie – singer. Stacy Ann Ferguson, solo singer and member of the Black Eyed Peas group, has raised many eyebrows with her wardrobe of garish and revealing outfits. Mr Blackwell said: “Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it’s all in a name!”

5. Kelly Clarkson – singer. Clarkson shot to fame after winning the American Idol talent show in 2002, but is regularly derided by fashion critics for her style, particularly her affection for cropped tops. Mr Blackwell slammed her for: “belly-baring bombs”.

6 . Eva Green – actress. The French star of Bond film Casino Royale was noted by Vogue for her “killer looks, intelligence and modesty”, and has modelled for numerous fashion brands including Armani and Dior. She is known for her quirky gothic style, but clearly not everybody is a fan. Mr Blackwell’s opinion is that she is “Stuck in neon nightmares”.

7 . Avril Lavigne – singer. The Canadian Grammy award-nominated musician is famed for her punk-rock style popular among teenagers, and is often pictured wearing black. Mr Blackwell criticised her for “Gothic make-up courtesy the mad spatula.”

8. Jessica Simpson – singer/actress. The blonde country and pop artist is admired for her pneumatic figure, and is not afraid to show it off. She garnered more attention for her tiny hotpants than her acting skills as Daisy Duke in her first film, The Dukes of Hazzard. But she has also had her fair share of criticism for her skimpy clothes. Mr Blackwell said: “She’s a global fashion curse.”

9. Lindsay Lohan – actress. Child star Lohan, now 21, has been in the limelight for all the wrong reasons in the past 12 months. The hard-partying actress has been in and out of rehab and was caught with cocaine by police and then arrested twice for driving under the influence. Style critics say her lifestyle has taken its toll on her appearance. Mr Blackwell said: “Fashion frenzy strikes again.”

10. Alison Arngrim – actress/comedian. Best known for her “bad girl” role in US televison show Little House on the Prairie, the stand-up comic is accused of being frumpy. Mr Blackwell said: “Looks like a 1940’s fashion editor for the Farmers Almanac.”
