THE Sixties are back with us this season and those women of a certain age could easily hunt their wardrobes for the items that defined that era.
 I can lay my hand on at least two tartan minis, a poncho and a spider costume with a memorable history.
 And, lo and behold, they’re back in high fashion.
 Had I kept up the exercises all these years I might even be able to get into them.
 Catsuits, in particular, were magnificent garments, and they were back in Belfast last week at the special show by retailers who are trying to entice southern buyers to the

north.
&nbsp,Spiderman Costumes;Argos, which has got its fashion look together, have a stunning one for just pounds 29.
 They’re strictly party wear and nice with a pair of killer heel sandals.
 Argos have also dipped into the tartan minis.
 So, too, have Marks & Spencer’s but theirs is a bit more conservative teamed with a polo neck.
 Somehow, they look much better with the cropped tops.
 As for ponchos, I wore mine because it was fashionable and it proved a boon when I was pregnant.
 But that’s not how a poncho should be treated. With the chillier evenings they’re perfect for keeping warm.
 Argos, again, have two, one for glitzy evenings and another one in colour, just in case you want to head back to sunnier climes.
 These three items will probably define this early autumn look.
 Also around are the suits in all kinds of tweed, the fringed chunky knits and duffle coats. Even the monochrome look made famous by Mary Quant and now taken up by Sarah

Ferguson, is back. Fashion hasn’t exactly moved forward this year but then the Sixties was a time of great change.
&nbsp,zentai suit;We can’t forget the fashion, nor the music, nor should we.

EJECTED Andrew Castle apologised to the men of Britain for getting sexy partner Ola Jordan kicked out of Strictly Come Dancing.
The GMTV presenter – who got booted off last night’s BBC One show – told The Sun he felt guilty for ending the stunning 26-year-old’s weekly stint on telly. But in a glimmer of hope for male viewers, he did say the Polish sexpot may give her plunging PVC catsuit another airing.
The pair became the seventh celebrity couple to go because of his lacklustre performance of the samba. Judge Len Goodman said: "Instead of Andrew Castle you’ve got to be more like a bouncy castle." And
the other judges also berated the former tennis star’s performance which cost the pair the dance-off to singer Heather Small and Brian Fortuna. Bruno Tonioli said: "The samba should have the excitement of the Brazilian Grand Prix and this was a Brazilian grand flop: no bounce, poor hip action, heavy footed.&quot,catsuits;
But Andrew praised his sexy dance partner, saying: "Every man and teenage boy must love her. She’s such a fantasy figure; she’s beautiful and she bends double."
Ola caught the attention by appearing in a sparkly black PVC spiderman costume with a split down the front in the pair’s first dance, the cha-cha-cha.
Andrew, 44, said: &quot,costume spiderman;I’m sorry that Ola will no longer be on the show but I think the catsuit might be returning.
"She will be coming back for the professional group dances and I have a feeling that the return of the catsuit is imminent."
But the happily-married TV host, who said he and wife Sophia would love to take up dancing, said he barely noticed what the blonde bombshell was wearing during the dance because he was so nervous. Andrew said: "I think I was the only man in Britain who didn’t."
Andrew will also be returning to Strictly next week as he wants to see Beyonce in a guest spot on the Sunday results show. He said the Destiny’s Child singer charmed him when he interviewed her on the GMTV sofa.

 Tennis star Serena Williams’s black,catsuits, leather-look catsuit may have seemed like an outrageous fashion statement when she wore it at last week’s US Open but it was designed to

boost her playing power. PETA BEE examines the claims of other recent developments in high-performance clothes and footwear
 IT MAY look skintight but Serena’s costume spiderman can stretch to up to five times its original size, enabling her to jump and lunge for the ball totally unrestricted. It has also been

shown that athletes who wear Lycra-based compression shorts during training experience 30 per cent less muscle fatigue than those in normal gymwear.
 Scientists are now developing a range of high-tech sportswear that can improve your game by helping you run faster or get fit quicker.
 So, if the idea of squeezing into a catsuit doesn’t take your fancy – and even Serena admits that if you don’t have a decent shape, this isn’t the best thing to wear – here’s

some other smart sportswear.
 FITNESS-BOOSTING RUNNING VESTS
 Researchers at Loughborough University have developed a running vest that could help you get fit more quickly.
 Dr Mike Caine and a team from the University’s Progressive Sports Technology Centre have invented the RespiVest. This is worn round the chest and trains breathing muscles to

work more efficiently.
 It has several elasticated loops which squeeze the chest to stop it expanding fully, forcing the lungs to work harder. "Athletes need to train their breathing muscles, " Dr

Caine says. "If they start to tire, it has a knock-on effect on the muscles in the legs and arms."
 POSTURE-IMPROVING TRAINERS
 If you suffer from backache, the latest functional sports christian louboutin shoes could help.
 MBT trainers, GBP 106 (01273 273555), were developed by Swiss engineer Karl Muller who studied the walking postures of Kenyan tribes to discover how they avoided joint and back

problems despite walking up to 50 miles a day. From his results, he invented a pair of trainers with a specially curved, super-thick sole that forces the postural muscles in the

legs, bottom and pelvis to work more effectively than when wearing normal louboutin heels.
 In the MBTs your joints are better supported so you walk (or run) in a taller and more upright manner.
 COMPUTERISED FOOTBALL SHIRTS
 Researchers from the University of Birmingham’s department of electrical and computer engineering have recently developed the SensVest, a football shirt that can monitor heart

rate, body temperature and speed.
&nbsp,costume spiderman;Chris Baber, one of the shirt’s designers, says the computer-carrying fabric enables data to be sent back through a radio network to coaches and physiotherapists who can use it

to assess a player’s performance during a match.
 They are also working on a computerised football which would mean that disputes with a referee or linesman could be solved instantly.
 POWER SOCKS
 The knee-length socks that Commonwealth and European running champion Paula Radcliffe wears in races are designed to do more than look good – they actually help her to run

faster. Looking uncannily like the white socks girls used to wear at school, the Italian manufacturers of the tight-fighting garments say they also help to stimulate micro-

circulation in the calf muscles and prevent injury.
 Although the power socks are specially made for Paula and aren’t on sale in the UK, you could always try wearing antiDVT compression socks, which use the same principles. Try

Activa Air Socks, GBP 9.56 (01283 540957).
 SPEEDY SWIMSUITS
 Australian swimming sensation Ian Thorpe wore a full-length Adidas swimsuit to help him glide through the water at top speed at this summer’s Commonwealth Games.
 Speedo produces a similar outfit called the Fastskin made from a fabric that simulates a shark’s scales and helps to reduce drag and muscle or skin vibrations that can slow

swimmers down. Studies at the Australian Institute of Sport showed speed improvements of 7.5 per cent when wearing a full-length Fastskin suit.
 Speedo also has a range of Fastskin swimsuits for sale on the high street using the same high-tech fabrics. They are now on sale from GBP 40 and ready to try in the pool (0115

9105267).
 AIR-CONDITIONED CLOTHING If you get unbearably hot and sweaty when working out, you should wear airconditioned clothing, just launched by Nike, from GBP 25 to GBP 250 (0800 279

9196).
 New fabric technology has produced a material the company calls Nike Sphere Cool, with unique raised nodules that allows air to circulate between the clothing and your skin.
 The same principle is applied to Nike Sphere Thermal. This is clothing featuring dimples that trap pockets of air – like doubleglazing – to keep you warm on your winter run.

AUSTRALIA’S swimmers will be stalking the Barcelona Olympic pool for gold medals wearing spiderman costumes.
&nbsp,catsuits;The Aussie Cossie has had a facelift, using revolutionary new materials and designs to give our swimmers biomechanically faster suits with ultimate comfort.
 The unique new fabric, S2000, developed by Speedo, is a combination of polyurethane and polyester, creating a water resistant property similar to that of ducks’ feathers.
 The costume spiderman design, modelled above by Olympic swimmer Leigh Habler, is the most radical in yearsand features a high neck and a back zip.
 Victoria’s Nicole Stevenson, who will represent Australia in the 100m and 200m backstroke, the 200m freestyle, and 4×100m medley relay at the Games, helped Speedo’s designers by testing the suit out in training.
 "It feels really weird, it is so different to have a high neck, and to be zipped into the suit," Stevenson said.
 "It is a bit like a wet-suit cut, the way the arm holes are big and the neck high, and the material feels rubbery and buoyant." Finding the new fabric and design to have a positive affect on swimmers’ performances, the Australia’s head coach Don Talbot approved the production of suits for the Olympic team.
 The team will wear the S2000 swimsuit for the first time at the Speedo Grand Prix final at the Warringah Aquatic Centre this weekend.
 But Australia may not be the only nation sporting the catsuit.
 European and American Olympic swimmers have been reported to be clocking personal best times wearing the new swimsuits,Spiderman Costumes, and will be wearing them at the Games.

FASHION designer Pam Hogg hasn’t had the most conventional career in the world. A household name in the 1980s – she was one of the few British designers to feature in international editions of Vogue – she  then drifted into obscurity as a little known-musician in the 1990s, before popping up on the fashion radar again when  Kylie Minogue  sported one of her creations – a studded black mesh catsuit – in a music video two years ago.
 Yesterday, Hogg unveiled her autumn/ winter 2009-10 HoggCouture collection to a celebrity-packed audience at the On/Off show, in the  Science Museum,Spiderman Costumes, at London Fashion Week. It was the first time she had shown a catwalk collection at the event in  many years and, by all accounts, her show was one of the hottest tickets in town.
Drawing on her trademark punk-rock image, Hogg produced a collection that promises to be a hit with London’s fashion elite.  The designer is famous for her skin-tight zentais , and this  was a homage to her own eccentric style. A series of models paraded down the catwalk in multi coloured broad-shouldered zentais made from heavy-duty Lycra, while  others were cloaked in matching multi-coloured capes and jackets. The collection also included some silver- and black-panelled catsuits with matching jackets.
Referencing her 1980s heyday,Spiderman Costumes, she included some high waisted PVC pencil skirts and sheer  blouses  as well as cascades of net ruffles which evoked the classic new-romantic look. The high- voltage designs were finished off with impossibly high heels designed by Terry de Havilland, and hard-edged punk-inspired hair and make-up. Hogg herself appeared at the end of the catwalk wearing perilously high stilettos, a skintight black catsuit with neon pink garter, and her trademark orange hair.
"I am ecstatic and want to do it all again now, " the designer said straight after the  show yesterday afternoon. "I am on a total high."
And why not? Unlike those at  most of the other small, off-diary shows, Hogg’s front row read like a who’s who of the  London  fashion scene, with the  ock icons  Siouxsie Sioux and Bobby Gillespie among those in attendance.  Her collection was   modelled by famous faces such as Alice  Dellal, Daisy Lowe and Liberty Ross.
While Hogg might be well known among the fashion elite – which helps explain why Kylie’s stylist William Baker picked out that famous skin-tight spider man costume for the Two Hearts video in 2007  – her often outrageous clothing has slipped from the public consciousness  Indeed, until very recently her eccentric designs were only available on a one-off, made-toorder basis, or from her archive. Her Hogg- Couture collection is now available to buy exclusively at London boutique Browns.

If you dare, buckle an armour plating of beaten bronze over it and leave it at that; or dress it up with pearls, chain belt and a padded silk jacket. Everything looks good on top of the sleek base of a bodysuit. Fashion has gone back to basics with the stretchy all-in-one that marries leggings or tights to a leotard-type top. Call it what you want, a bodysuit, unitard,Spiderman Costumes, jumpsuit or catsuit all fit the garment equally well. Those who do not feel up to pouring themselves into skintight bodysuits can improvise with a skinny turtleneck sweater and opaque tights. For Donna Karan,Spiderman Costumes, the New York-based designer, the bodysuit is fundamental to her success. Her philosophy of layering clothes in shades of one colour over a ”body” simplifies the lives of busy women. She frequently emphasises this point at her shows, with the models doing a fashionable strip as they move through the showrooms, removing a sarong skirt to reveal a ”body”, then picking up a pair of elastic-waisted trousers or slipping on a different jacket or tunic dress. Azzedine Alaia, in Paris, has shown that the cleverest way to give sharp tailoring a sexier line is to wear a curvy little jacket over a bodysuit. However, it was Karl Lagerfeld, at Chanel, who raised the bodysuit to couture status, by elongating the traditional Chanel jacket and finally dispensing with the skirt in favour of a ribbed all-in-one. ”It makes everything look fresh and modern,” he says. This has been the year of the couture catsuit. It stalked the catwalks, hand-painted by Christian Lacroix, jewel-studded and feather-trimmed by Gianni Versace. Lacroix even used heavy gold jewellery as part of the design of a black bodysuit, and then piled on more jewellery in his extravagant style. Variations on the bodysuit theme can be found at every price level and at hosiery counters. Wolford’s deluxe Lycra bodysuit with turtleneck (Pounds 39) and matching opaque Lycra tights (Pounds 19.99) have been so successful that they are hard to track down at the moment fresh stock is expected to reach the shops in the new year. Dance shops are a good source. Pineapple, for instance, makes a camisole-topped cotton Lycra bodysuit (Pounds 29.99) and Gamba does a tank-topped base in nylon Lycra (Pounds 22). Pineapple has dominated the bodysuit business for the past ten years, and creates the most interesting variations hooded, in crushed velvet (Pounds 89.99); long-sleeved with turtleneck, in gold and black Lurex (Pounds 39.99); high-necked, sleeveless, with keyhole cut-out back, in cotton Lycra (Pounds 29.99). Swimwear manufacturers, used to producing strong, stretchy garments with locked seams, are enjoying the success of the bodysuit. Liza Bruce has expanded her swimwear line to include stretchy catsuits and dresses that hold and mould the body. ”Wearing a catsuit makes you feel more vital,” she says. John Galliano, using the manufacturing skills he now has to create his swimwear collection, includes bodysuits in his designer line. A simple Lycra base forms the first layer under his asymmetric chiffon slip dresses. This winter Rifat Ozbek underpins his colourful separates with velour costume spiderman . Reappearing in cotton with Lycra for Ozbek’s new lower-priced Future line, they will join the crop of designer costume spiderman arriving in the shops next spring.

SHE’S fast. She’s tough. She karate-kicks in stiletto-heeled boots and has the fashion panache of an Emma Peel who’s crossed over to the dark side.
 She’s Catwoman, aka Michelle Pfeiffer, and because the movie Batman Returns is a blockbuster, the Catwoman look soon may be coming to a restaurant, dance club or social event near you.
 Well, maybe not the exact Catwoman look. The suit probably isn’t the look for dinner with the in-laws or box seats at the opera with its not-so-subtle references to sado-masochism (metal studs and latex) and Dr Frankenstein (crude, white whipstitching suggesting monstrous plastic surgery).
 But Catwoman is likely to boost the perennially popular black, slinky, catsuit which at its most basic is simply a one-piece,Spiderman Costumes, form-fitting jumpsuit.
 Catsuits, the active-wear choice of Peel, aka Diana Rigg, co-star of the ’60s television series The Avengers,Spiderman Costumes, long have been de rigueur for dancers.
 Dancers in the Broadway hit Cats gave them their most literal interpretation and top fashion designers pounced on the bandwagon.
 Meanwhile, faux catsuit looks, such as narrow leggings or stirrup pants topped with black leather motorcycle jackets, are considered wardrobe basics by the most fashion forward.
 Moreover, spider costumes , which are unforgiving in their tendency to outline every curve, are in step with this season’s fashion direction toward clothes that are slinky, long, narrow and provocative.
 The spider man costume is not for the fashion mouse.
