Chang Mei Yen, Correspondent (Fashion) The star-studded American Hustle, appearing at the tail-end of 2013, is already winning accolades for its well-rounded performance. But much of its quirkiness and appeal is conveyed by its portrayal of fashion in the 1970s – the good, the bad, and the ugly.

And for many of us, this means only one thing – a new fashion season! The ideal way to welcome this would be heading out for a day of shopping.
