Get back to the '90s in a lace trimmed chemise

There are so many trends from the 1990s coming back this year, it's hard to keep up. Beanie hats, distressed jeans, flouro, hi-tops, cropped tops - it goes on and on. And this AW/13 there's a heavy dose of grunge to buy into as well. You remember, the Doc Martens, the layers, the checked shirts and of course the underwear as outerwear look. Courtney Love and her nighties are back baby!

And Amber Heard is beautifully demonstrating how this scruffy trend has grown up as seen on the Louis Vuitton runways. Think luxe fabrics rather than charity shop chic. Amber's chemise from Kiki de Montparnasse is definitely at the luxurious end of the market at £1475 from Net-a-Porter, but in silk with pretty lace trim it's worth the investment.

If you want to really do the grunge look in the original style then wear a nightie like this over jeans with smudged mascara... or bring it up to date for 2013 and wear for a romantic evening our with high heels and a boucle jacket to cover up.

Or just wear it to sleep in. Either way, check out our much more affordable options below.



She added philosophically that 'going into relationships is just as difficult as coming out of them. I have never been in the situation where the two have overlapped. I can't imagine how difficult that would be.' 
 

In the interview, the Paranoia star is candid about her past relationships - which she has had with both men and women - but said she did not want her sexuality to be labelled.
She explained: 'I have had relationships, successful relationships, with men, and I had a great relationship with a wonderful woman.

'I will never beg for an easy classification or label for that moment in my life, or assume to know what the future holds for me. I have always been and always will be just who I am and I will never fake anything for anyone.'
In accompanying pictures for net-a-porter, the actress smoulders in a La Dolce Vita style shoot by Francesco Carrozzini in which she wears sexy and stylish pieces by Kiki de Montparnasse, Giambattista Valli, Bottega Veneta, Jonathan Saunders, The Row and Dolce & Gabbana.
Amber revealed how her rise to fame came after she grew up 'in the middle of nowhere with nothing.'
She left home at the age of 16 'curious and hungry' with 'nothing to lose'. After enrolling in acting classes in Austin, Texas, she decided to pursue her acting career seriously.

'I remember my biggest hurdle was that I wasn't yet 18, and it caused some problems - getting a hotel room, for instance,' she said.
'I was on my own. I forged my parents' name to be on set, because I was a minor, but I was working as an adult, I forged a fake ID, too. They (her parents) did not react ideally, as you would expect, but they also couldn't stop me.'
She gained small parts in TV shows such as The O.C before breaking into films with roles in Pineapple Express, Zombieland and The Rum Diary.

She has four films currently in the works including Three Days To Kill alongside Kevin Costner and Autobahn with Zac Efron. 
Speaking of her career progression, she said: 'I have been doing this as the only means to sustain myself for 11 years - my entire adult life. People have been calling me an up-and-comer for 10 years. I would rather be called that than a flash in the pan.'
