Side story: Naomi and I met while interviewing Zandra Rhodes, and FYI, her purse dog's name is Paris.

On to the important bit: Marks & Spencer isn't exactly gliding through the recession, but a new collection from the legendary designer could give shoppers a reason to get excited. Expect caftans and summer dresses brightened up with Rhodes' fuschia and tangerine, and of course a sense of rebellion.

With design stints for everyone from Princess Diana to Freddie Mercury, we doubt the 68-year-old will disappoint when her new line comes out 7 May.
