HUNT FOR MISSING WEST HAMPSTEAD MAN


The family and friends of a west Hampstead man arrive in a desperate search to find him after he went missing 5 days ago.


John Regan, 30, was last seen outside The Alice Bar on West End Lane around mid-night last Wednesday evening.


Mr. Regan's family are currently working with the police to try and trace his last known moments.


This week they were checking CCTV tapes from around West Hampstead and Fortune Green to determine the direction he headed in after The Alice Bar.


Mr. Regan's brother Paul is appealing for anyone who may have seen John to come forward.


He said ' This is completely out of character for John. He has no reason to go missing and this is completely unexpected. We are extremely worried about him and urge anyone who knows anything about his whereabouts to contact West Hampstead Police on 0300 123 1212.


John is 5ft 10ins with cropped brown hair and light blue eyes. He was last seen walking down West End lane at around 1.15am and then headed through Fortune Green where he turned right towards his home.


He was wearing light blue jeans and a dark blue jumper with a large pink skull motif.


WHO WHAT WEAR?

This Easter with spring almost upon us, the fashionistas seem to have abandoned their commitment to washed-out pastels in favour of more vibrant, saturated colour. From thigh-high to knicker-skimming, shorts are a new season must-buy. The best-dressed people will be re-working denim into rompers, dresses and sexy high-heeled strappy shoes for spring. The edgiest looks feature head-to-toe denim: previously a fashion no-no.

Designers such as Prada, Williamson and McCartney are using white, loose fitting tops as the perfect blank canvas on which to project ourselves whilst other designers ride the body-con trend with skintight pieces in high-tech fabrics, neon shades or scuba black.

"A summer essential - wear your shorts rolled up at the hem, with a slouchy T-shirt, blazer and rocking ankle boosta," says Vogue's Miranda Almond. Heavy netted tuille skirts in effervescent spring colours made a welcome return (as shown right). Shorts are summer's best way to show off legs. For work, think tailored cuts - as seen at DKNY, Hermès and Hussein Chalayan. Leather shorts were a strong trend - in black, tan or brown. For the weekend, denim and safari styles rule. After dark, take your cue from Prada, Matthew Williamson, Valentino and MaxMara, who all showed luxe versions for the cocktail hour.

With the emphasis on the leg that autumn/winter gave us with all those over-the-knee boots, we're still focusing on the legs with a variety of styles of shorts for summer. Seek out beautiful knot detailing and ice-cream colours.

Army jackets, sharp-cut military jackets and olive green were all over the runway for Spring 2010. This is a trend that works for so many women, and it's as easy to buy into as adding a pair of soft utility pants or khaki camp shirt into your wardrobe. The key to keeping military looking feminine is to choose crisp-fitting shirts and jackets: it gives it more of a boy-meets-girl look than a sloppy army surplus look. Although camo is around, it's really the khakis and olives that look freshest. Eye-popping heights and elaborate details made their way down the runway on the feet of models around the world. The most dramatic styles were cage shoes, wedges and ankle boots.

Statement shoes have been one of the most significant trends going for seasons. Even pant lengths are being made to show off great shoes (cropped slim pants are my favorite way to show off amazing shoes.) Cage shoes are an update on the gladiator: they feature a cage-like effect made with straps and can either be casual or dress, high-heel or flat. Wedges - a warm-weather favorite - are updated with wooden heels and every fabric and detail available. Booties and ankle boots are still a very strong look and work well with leggings and shorter skirts.
