At Topshop HQ we're all slightly in love with Audrey Hepburn and now the fashion world is getting breathless with anticipation as a collection of her dresses come under the hammer. Thanks to her long-standing friendship with Hubert Givenchy, Hepburn was one of the world's best-dressed women and had a sense of style and an eye for detail that is as revered today as it was when she was alive.
The beautiful collection of 30 garments is due to be auctioned off by Kerry Taylor over three days in December and we can’t wait to get a glimpse of that famous Audrey style! Expect six-figure price tags and a flurry of sartorial excitement. You can take a look at the catalogue here!

And those of us who can't quite stretch to the real thing there's a fabulous new book called Audrey Hepburn: International Cover Girl by Titan Books, that takes a peek at the style icon through the many and varied magazine covers she graced. The perfect gift for Christmas - we'll be looking for it in our stockings!
If you haven't been to SHOWstudio's exhibition, Fashion Revolution, then get down to Somerset House and take a look before it closes on December 20th.
As well as over twenty projects from SHOWstudio's archives and a whole load of new films and artworks, the team have devised a series of live fashion shoots.
From their Live Studio Space at the exhibition, you can see world-renowned fashion image makers shoot fashion editorial, portraits and film. Cleverly, the two-way mirror allows you to watch unseen from the exhibition space, while the action is also broadcast live on SHOWstudio.com!
One of the shoots we've been waiting to go and see is with photographer, Jez Tozer, and Storm Model's new faces wearing Kate Moss for Topshop and Antony Price for Topman. Taking place on the 18th, this is a great time to go and take a look. Tickets are £5 and can be bought on the door.
Not only will designer, Antony Price, be on set to style his collection but Jez was Nick Knight's assistant for three years and with Arena, Dazed Japan, Japanese Vogue, i-D and many more under his belt, he's certainly one to watch!
And if you fancy a glass of fiz, seeing the shoot and walking round the exhibition, there's a preview event on tomorrow from 6.30 - 9 that Inside-Out readers can attend. Get there early - there are only 100 places reserved for us - and quote Topshop on the door! It's £10 and as well as a speedy style workshop, you'll also recieve 10% off at the gift shop.
Take note! This is your chance to shop some seriously covetable pieces, and do your bit for charity all at the same time. Head down to the Music Rooms on South Molton Lane in London and get set for Gladrags and Handbags! There are set to be heaps of goodies donated by a who’s who of the fashion world up for grabs. Go label hunting and spot some of the fabulous donations from huge names like Westwood, McQueen, Chloe, Diesel, and - of course - Topshop! 100% of proceeds go to Kids Company, who’ll be giving over 2000 children the magical Christmas day they deserve. Designer clobber and do-gooing to boot? We think this might just be our perfect day out! Head down at these times and have a look for yourself.
