Tim Walker at Somerset House, Hollywood Costume at the V&A, and now Paul Smith at the Design Museum - London's galleries have gone fashion mad this Autumn/Winter. But it's not all about Dorothy's ruby red slippers at the V&A and Tim Walker's surreal fashion shoots - a crop of new exhibitions have arrived to sate your style appetite right up until Christmas. We preview the three exhibitions coming to town that we're most excited about.

An ode to the Italian master of haute couture and a red carpet favourite, 130 designs worn by Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren and Gwyneth Paltrow will be on display, paired with a fascinating insight into the man himself.
