Take a gamble on red and black this season Can't decide whether to put your money on red or black this season? Choose both for a winning combination. You would need to be more or less dead not to have had the word 'Skyfall' permanently burnt into your subconscious lately, as everyone's favourite casino-dwelling, martini-drinking misogynist has made such a big to-do about his fiftieth anniversary. Not to be outdone in the zeitgeist-tapping stakes, fashion has followed suit and served up its very own casino-nodding trend, which we like to call Fashion Roulette. Red and black together were seen all over the catwalks of autumn/winter, so give the trend a spin and see where you land... IN PICTURES: Trending: Red and black You may end up in the dark and sexy pocket of the wheel with Christopher Kane, who went heavy on red and black, showing dresses in red silk moiré with black leather trim and one with black leather sleeves tied around the waist like a sweater. The femininity of a dress in blood red, rose-flocked tulle became almost menacing given the black leather panels across the shoulders and waist. Ricardo Tisci at Givenchy also went dark and sexy with an equestrian-inspired collection that was more Fifty Shades of Fillies than Jilly Cooper chic. Black leather coats, boots and gloves gave red silk shirts and pleated skirts a visceral edge and one red silk vest featured black embroidery not unlike a Rorschach test - perhaps this collection best sums up what Tisci sees when he looks in the ink blot.

Beckham's sporty collection featured a figure-hugging red dress with a deep V-neck and black stripes across the chest, waist and hips. Inspired by China, Wu used the country's signature red with a military theme for black-edged shirts and pencil skirts, plus a jacket and knee-length dress each cinched at the wait with a black leather belt. Proenza Schouler also went Far East with kimono jackets and woven leather pieces, including an asymmetric, black mesh coat with a red shirt dress beneath. Shop: Red and black Thakoon brought woven leather into the pretty pocket of the wheel when he covered the red silk column of one dress with a lattice of black leather, also showing black dresses printed with red love hearts and lips. Jonathan Saunders went roulette with Sixties geometric sweaters and floral printed dresses, whilst Roksanda Illincic used black beaded fringe and embroidery on crimson for a grown up contribution to the pretty pack that included Antonio Berardi's and Henry Holland's black and red fur coats.

PHOTOS: Vladimir Potop Michael Kors, who also showed Fashion Roulette fur, really ran with the trend across checked blanket coats, skirts and trousers and went to the masculine side on an oversized greatcoat. He was joined there by Donna Karan, who took things a step further with red tailored blazers above black trousers, a red wrap dress under a black fedora and a red haircalf overcoat paired with black leather boots.

With inspiration name-checks for 'Casino'-era Sharon Stone already abounding for spring/summer (from Julien MacDonald and Moschino, to name just two), the casino theme isn't going anywhere yet. Hurrah, we say, for this time it's not only the [fashion] house that always wins.
