Fun florals are the way forward this season with an array of colours and options, from maxi dresses to blouses, while frills flattering for all shapes and elegant soft tailoring are also firm favourites.

Accessorize, Bank, BHS, Peacocks, Marks & Spencer, Millets, Monsoon, Moss, Peacocks, Primark, Topshop/Topman, Unique Soles, and Quiz are just some of the stores joining forces for Fashion on the Move 2010, presenting an unrivalled selection of men’s, women’s and children’s wear.
