Adrian Grace, managing director of Barclays Insurance Services comments; " The image conscious singleton may want to spare a thought to doing some long term financial planning, to protect their prized fashion investments and to regularly check if all their goodies are still insured."

The survey also revealed that amongst the younger generation nearly one fifth of the under 30s stated Sienna Miller was the fashion icon they most admired whereas Liz Hurley only managed one per cent of the under 30 vote. Victoria Beckham had a six per cent vote*.
