Stella McCartney: "Style it your way. Create a unique look."

The British designer insists it is fine to follow the latest trends, but warns fashion lovers must give their clothing a twist to ensure they stand out form the crowd.

She said: "Style it your way. Add accessories, roll up a sleeve or turn up a collar. Create a unique look. Mix a couple of pieces with your own existing wardrobe.

"Choose a statement piece by wearing the prints or embroidered pieces alone to give them breathing space."

The mother-of-three also believes it is essential to mix new clothes with old to spice up outfits.

She told Britain's Glamour magazine: "Combine old with new. I'll wear an embroidered jacket with my husband's old Fruit of the Loom T-shirt."

Stella was recently named the world's most influential designer.

The 37-year-old beauty - who has designed clothes for Chloe, Gucci as well as her own Stella McCartney label - was the only representative from the fashion industry in TIME magazine's annual 100 influential people list.
