When news broke last month that Britain’s “First Lady” Sarah Brown had commissioned four new outfits from Osman Yousefzada, it was confirmation the Afghan-British designer is being taken very seriously.  Not only did the Prime Minister’s wife have a front-row seat at Yousefzada’s autumn/winter 2010 catwalk show last month, wearing one of his necklaces; days later, at the Elle Style Awards, she chose a long, navy Osman gown with integral gold collar, which drew uniform approval.

Yousefzada, 36, the son of Afghan immigrants, is a brilliant choice. His draped jersey gowns and sleek, pared-back architectural pieces are worn by Thandie Newton, Dannii Minogue, Anna Friel and Little Boots. And they have been known to inspire Victoria Beckham.
