THE Spring/Summer catwalks for 2014 were brimming with new and exciting fashion trends for the months ahead.

Some of the major looks that we are going to see everywhere include the longer length skirt, the embellished flat shoe, the chic and tailored workwear look and the new take on avant garde.

By far my favourite trend that emerged has got to be the statement dress. We saw printed, embellished, bold and striking show-stoppers from the likes of Christopher Kane, Alexander McQueen, Versace, Tom Ford, Miu Miu and Lanvin.

The concept behind this trend is one stand alone, knock out, speaks for itself dress. Whether that be daytime or evening, it's something that's certainly worth investing in.

With a vintage dress you can really excel in the style stakes whilst remaining completely individual and unique – the perfect combination!

I have picked out my current Top Three statement vintage dresses from our huge range, spanning several decades of fashion...

1. A stunning vintage 1970s pink maxi dress with a pretty floral pattern and metallic silver thread striping. This French dress from Huko has fabric covered buttons which hold the straps in place at the back and is a real style statement.

2. An absolutely gorgeous 1950s vintage prom dress in powder blue chiffon. The classic iconic shape is fitted at the bodice, leading to a huge circle swing skirt. If ever there was a dress to make you feel like a princess, this is the one.

3. Finally, this unusual vintage dress from the 1980s is almost something from science fiction. It has a boned bodice and a long straight skirt covered in fine strands of metallic threads in black, silver and gold. One of those dresses that you just can’t stop looking at.

Regardless of height, size, age, shape or favoured style – there is most definitely a statement dress out there that will fit you perfectly and turn heads for all the right reasons.
