Fashion uses any and every excuse to break out the champers: 20 years marks a job anniversary for Suzy Menkes, fashion editor of the International Herald Tribune, Anna Wintour at American Vogue and Martin Margiela, the maverick Belgian designer, who celebrates his 20th with a career retrospective at Antwerp's MoMu museum. Diesel and Banana Republic are flirty at 30, Esprit celebrates the big 4-0, Lacoste is 75 and Ferragamo an enduring 80. And, oh yes, the National Post turns 10 this month B is for Bows on Blouses, one of fall's quintessential "pieces." Dolce & Gabbana and Proenza Schouler's supersized version emulates Faye Dunaway's Network wardrobe, not to mention what the cast wore in Nine to Five. The saggy feminine loops show up on shoes, too, from Valentino's signature flourish on ankle boots to knots on Naot's Pleasure pump C is for Collarbones and Collaborations. Buh-bye, Posh bob. So long, shag. Anne Hathaway's tousled just-above-the-shoulder collarbone cut is the do of the day. What's new in collaborations? Comme des Garcons is coming to H&M next month. Bob Mackie is dressing Tina Turner, and everyone's dressing Madonna. Film and fashion co-operate in Prada's latest cinematic short. M. A. C has tapped Ungaro designer Esteban Cortazar to create seasonal colours (next up: Dame Edna). Sex and the City wardrobe mistress Patricia Field is on the Home Shopping Network and at Marks & Spencer. And you knew it was only a matter of time: Sofia Coppola will design a collection of handbags and shoes for Louis Vuitton, where her BFF Marc Jacobs is creative director D for Dominatrix. Victoria Beckham caused a stir last week in heel-less latex boot-tights by Antonio Berardi. But spikes, studs or vinyl duds, the thigh's the limit, and clothing has more than a touch of the S&M to it. Cage-front shoes and winding multiple straps and seven-inch fetish heels, oh my! Even Loubs are covered in menacing spikes E is for Elections, one here and one there. Now let's move on from discussing Sarah Palin's hair. F is for Flats and the news here is that Manolo's moving on. British Vogue reports that the stiletto king has recently gone gaga for graceful gamines (think Audrey Hepburn) who can work flatties. Maybe that's because Madame Sarkozy, Carla Bruni, wears them so well? Don't go, Manolo, the stiletto needs you F is for Flats and the news here is that Manolo's moving on.

Maybe that's because Madame Sarkozy, Carla Bruni, wears them so well? Don't go, Manolo, the stiletto needs you G is for Gothic, because sulking, brooding and a fascination with death never go out of style. Fashion's prince of darkness, Olivier Theyskens, creative director at Nina Ricci, has dipped the house's classic Lalique dove perfume bottle in black. Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy is piling on the gilt crosses. Yves Saint Laurent's gothic black Gloss Pur lipstick ($34) has a waiting list at Holt Renfrew (it arrives Monday) H is for House, Home and Hearth. Canada's decor-diva firmament has had an extreme makeover and the hip new regime is more approachable than aspirational. House & Home's dynamo new editor, Suzanne Dimma, dispenses stylish can-do weekend projects, while Style at Home design director Samantha Pynn debuts her new show, Pure Design, on HGTV. And what will our lovely homes smell like this fall? The comfort of burning wood. Burberry's luxe new candle is smokey Wood Embers, Crabtree & Evelyn has launched a woodsy home fragrance range called Hearth and Banana Republic's spicy Fireside will be a ubiquitous hostess gift.

She uses butter and sugar and isn't afraid to look like she enjoys eating. Which brings us to is for Joan, as in Joan Holloway, the steno-pool goddess with the trademark sashay on Mad Men.
