Fashion moves fast — forgiveness, a little slower, but it happens: See Galliano, John; Gabbana, Stefano; and Dolce, Domenico. The latter two put their well-shod feet in their mouths with comments over IVF babies, but this week apologised: Just in time for some reduced-price designs to land at The Outnet. These outfits and accessories will be available from today on the website at up to 55 per cent off. These velvet Mary-Janes are now £473 (Dh2,714); the dress £640 and the leather skirt, £1,170.
