Fashion: Piste perfect

If you're hitting the slopes this season, you’ll need to be decked out in the only skiwear that counts, Prada’s Montagna capsule collection. It features toasty alpaca knitwear, luxuriantly fur-timmed coats and oversized ski sunglasses. Trust us: the mountains simply won’t know what’s hit them.

Theatre: The Pitchfork Disney

Film: The Dark Knight Rises

Music: Perfume Genius

We're predicting big things for this tremulous Seattle singer-songwriter and his achingly beautiful second album Put Your Back N 2 It. Check out taster track "All Waters" before its 20 February release: bit.ly/tTwljV
