An Alexander McQueen dress or an Yves Saint Laurent tuxedo - Louboutin shoes or the Birkin bag - which started the most fashion trends? How about their red carpet Wow factor? Or their day-to-day practicality?

In this classic cards game, each category is rated to enable players to play one fashion item against the other. The person with the best score wins the round; when one person has captured all the cards they are the winner.

An artist and illustrator, Erin Petson's highly textural work combines watercolours, collage and drawing to create unique, provocative and memorable images. Her clients have included Elle and Marie Claire magazines, Fallon, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Oprah Magazine, The New York Times and The Guardian.

Freelance writer and editor Maia Adams contributes fashion and lifestyle articles to publications including British Vogue, Elle, The Guardian, The Sunday Times Travel Magazine and Wallpaper*. A visiting lecturer on fashion degree courses at Barcelona's Design Institute and the University of the Arts in the UK, she is the author of Fashion Jewelery, published by Laurence King Publishing.
