FROM designer dresses to cool coats, Helen Tither rounds up what's hot this week...

Matthew Willimson:

The king of Manchester's fashion scene comes back to claim his crown this week as the city goes Matthew Williamson crazy. In town for the glitzy celebrity launch of his super sexy exhibition over at Urbis on Wednesday, he will also be holding something of a more intimate event for real die-hard fans at Flannels earlier in the day.

So, it's up to you whether to check out his classic designs or splash out on one of his cool new spring pieces, in store now at Flannels. Call the store on 0161 8325536 to see if you can still wangle your way onto the exclusive guest list. And keep an eye on the M.E.N. later in the week for full coverage of the events…

Karen Millen dress:

Seems maxi dresses are going to be big news this spring - as Style hears this funky zebra print number (£180) is already sold out over at Karen Millen on King Street - where they also have 20 eager fashionistas on a waiting list for it!

So if you see it, snap it up...

Wedding special:

Brides-to-be alert! Don't miss next week's Style supplement when we are giving in to wedding madness for a 12-page bridal special - covering everything you need to know to look gorgeous on your big day.

From wedding dresses made in Manchester, to eco weddings, hair and beauty tips, we've got it covered. So, don't say "I do" until you've seen it…

Pink coat at All Saints:

Sunshine or showers - what's a girl to do? Brave the spring showers in style, of course, in this rather lovely hot pink mac (£190) - currently flying off the shelves of the new All Saints store on King Street.
