Louise Goldin is definitely having a golden moment. Following the success of her debut footwear collection for Topshop, her eponymous RTW line, and having only graduated in 2005, Ms Goldin has beaten Christopher Kane, Erdem and Marios Schwab in the battle for the British Fashion Council's annual Fashion Forward scheme. Not only did she manage to break the trio's three-season winning streak, but she also managed to win over the judging panel - made up of Emma Elwick, the BFC and Vogue's market editor; Simon Ward, the BFC's joint CEO, and Style.com's Sarah Mower - and pipped the likes of Basso & Brooke, Jean-Pierre Braganza, Emilio de la Morena, Osman and Todd Lynn to the winning post.

We think spending years behind-the-scenes to build a client list including The Rolling Stones, U2's Bono and Courtney Love - plus working with hot newbies like Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine - is reason enough to brag. Todd Lynn, on the other hand, is too busy being a workaholic to care. The designer dubbed "rock and roll's best-kept secret", who launched his impeccably tailored menswear collection in 2006, has maintained his industry following while adding beautifully seedy styles for the rest of us.

Last year, the Canadian-born Londoner added dresses to his collections, but we're still stuck on the androgynous styles that make us wish we had a sold-out show to headline. Since that's not an option, we were happy to take a look into Lynn's work life, where conventional is for losers and there's (almost) always time to sneak out for a concert.

Make yourself a playlist of Garbage, Hole and The Cranberries (Zombie only) and prepare for your autumn dose of fashion. Designers ranging from Alexander Wang (obviously) to Mark Fast to Todd Lynn have gone down a dark and dingy path, turning out fringe, leather and attitude for all. Remember biker shorts? Yeah, they're back. But this time, grunge is less about Nirvana and more about sci-fi. It's technical, and it's harsh, and we love it.
