Change your shades! Here are the NEW cult Sunglasses!


Introducing Spektre, the Italian sunglasses brand the fashion pack has hailed as their new affordable favourite.


While we all expected Prada's sculpted floral shades and Linda Farrow's lens collection for The Row to be the stars of the shows, it was a range of high-shine, mirrored sunglasses spotted perched on the tip of many a front row nose, that caught the eyes.


The coveted brand in question? Spektre: A Milanese sunglasses company established in 2009. Street style favourite Viviana Volpicella, a freelance stylist from Milan, has been championing mirror lenses of purple and blue, and chic Italians Eleonora Carisi and Giovanna Battaglia have also been parading the show grounds in high-vis pairs. For a label that maintains "we don't care about the market, we do what we like" Spektre have certainly caught the eye of the right ladies.

War begins over the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent


War has erupted over the screen legacy of Yves Saint Laurent after the late fashion designer's longtime partner threatened to sue the makers of a "warts-and-all" biopic, while backing another "official" film.


Tensions had been mounting between the two rival productions ahead of a release date for both films on the flamboyant bad boy of French fashion slated for release later this year.

In the red corner, Saint Laurent , a film directed by Bertrand Bonello, has received the go ahead from the owner of Yves Saint Laurent brand, François Pinault, to use the logo and dresses in his possession.

In the blue corner, Yves Saint Laurent , directed by Jalil Lespert, is a film which has the official blessing of Pierre Bergé, 82, the couturier's companion on and off from 1958 until his death in 2008 and the guardian of his creative legacy.

"Two films on YSL? I hold the moral rights over YSL's work, his image and mine and have only authorised Jalil Lespert. A trial on the cards?," threatened the multi-millionaire part-owner of Le Monde newspaper on his Twitter account.

Heidi Klum joins America’s Got Talent judging panel


German supermodel Heidi Klum has been confirmed as the fourth judge for the new series of the Simon Cowell-produced 'America's Got Talent'.

Heidi Klum is adding yet another notch to her belt by becoming a judge on America's Got Talent .

The German supermodel will join three other judges, comedian Howie Mandel, DJ Howard Stern and fellow newbie and former Spice Girl Mel B (nope, we're not sure why either), who will seek to find America's most talented citizen.

Klum was chosen for her "international sensibility and understanding of what works in today's global entertainment industry", Paul Telegdy, president of NBC alternative and late-night programming told People.com , and we're betting her pretty face played a part too - after all, this is a Simon Cowell-produced show.

The 39-year-old is no stranger to reality TV contest format - she's also the host of Germany's Next Top Model and Project Runway, which aim to find the next big model and fashion designer, respectively.

That's what's BANNED from the Grammy Awards


Grammy Awards broadcaster CBS issue a 'wardrobe advisory' notice ahead of Sunday's ceremony to encourage flesh-flashing celebrities to cover up.


Celebrities are finding ever more inventive ways of baring their assets on the red carpet. Side-boobs, waistline-necklines and backless dresses, which sit so low they reveal something of 'what lies beneath', have become the norm. And that's before we've even got into the thigh-split dresses that so love to make a feature of a girl's underpants.

Such rampant, flesh-baring antics have now driven CBS, the broadcaster of Sunday's 55th Grammy Awards, to take the unusual step of sending out a 'Standard And Practice Wardrobe Advisory' notice to all attendees, containing a strict dress code.

'Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered', it begins.
'Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack.' 

Addressing the growing side-boob trend, the notice cautions 'Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples.'

Sorry… female breast nipples? Who wrote this? So male's nipples are okay??!!!

Italian label Gucci has collaborated with Japanese Manga artist Hirohiko Araki for its 2013 windows.

It's out with the tinsel and in with the comics at Gucci as the Milan Fashion Week label starts 2013 with a new collaboration.

The brand's creative director, Frida Giannini, has teamed up with renowned Japanese Manga artist Hirohiko Araki to create a window installation inspired by the label's Cruise 2013 collection.

Entitled "Jolyne, Fly High with Gucci," Araki's Manga (a Japanese comic strip) tells the adventure of Jolyne Cujoh, a student who inherits a keepsake from her mother's Gucci collection. Propelled by the mystery behind her vintage treasure, Cujoh embarks on a journey that transcends time; the images echo the colour palette and aesthetic of Giannini's newest collection.

Installed across some 70-plus Gucci boutiques worldwide from today, Giannini commented: "I am quite sure his window installations will stop people in their tracks in cities around the world as they immerse themselves in the fabulous fantasy world he has created."

Araki revealed how he has "always been fascinated by Italy". He added: "Frida's beautiful Cruise collection with its strong colours and graphic designs set my mind racing the moment she showed it to me. From there the characters and storyline came into being so naturally. It was very stimulating to work together on this project."

Dolce & Gabbana in Trouble


An Italian judge has refused a plea by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's lawyer to dismiss the €420 million tax evasion case against the designers.


A judge has rejected a plea by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's lawyer to throw out the tax evasion trial against the designers and several of their business associates. Instead, judge Antonella Brambilla ruled that the trial will go ahead, starting on January 30, with two further hearings scheduled for February, reports WWD .

The Italian design duo are accused of evading €420 million in tax when they sold their two brands, Dolce & Gabbana and D&G, to their own Luxembourg-based company, Gado Srl.

Kristen Stewart.. A hit or a miss??

Where do we begin, to tell the story of this $#%$^ dress... Well the legs are a show-off of course, but the dress?? Hmmm....

Dov Charney, the founder and CEO of American Apparel, has found himself at the centre of yet another lawsuit.

Charney is accused of wrongful dismissal and physical assault by Michael Bumblis, the former manager of one of the company's Miami stores. It is the latest in a number of lawsuits in which Charney has been named by former employees in recent years, many of which have accused him of sexual misconduct. All previous cases have been dismissed by the courts.

In the suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Bumblis claims that his issues with Charney began in April this year, when Charney accused him if working for a rival employee. During the verbal altercation, Bumblis claims Charney called him "a wannabe Jew," a "fag", and asked him inappropriate questions about his personal life.

Brand to watch: Ostwald Helgason


We caught up with the design duo behind Ostwald Helgason, Susanne Ostwald and Ingvar Helgason, to find out how they captured the hearts and lenses of editors and street style photographers alike.

In a jam-packed studio in Hackney Wick, overlooking the Olympic stadium, Susanne Ostwald is wiping up a tiny spillage from under my tea cup. "For Susie, everything has its place," her boyfriend and business partner Ingvar Helgason sniggers. "Getting things to fit in this studio is like a game of Tetris." Susanne readily admits her obsession with order. "I have a little bit of an OCD. If I get things fitting in perfectly in here, then I get 10 points!"

If all goes according to plan, Susanne's Tetris obsession will soon be a space-saving eccentricity of the past. Together the couple comprise Ostwald Helgason, a brand with a loyal following of fashion editors setting out to win them pavement exposure. Street style favourites Miroslava Duma and Tatler Russia editor-in-chief Anya Ziourova are frequently snapped in head-to-toe looks; bloggers Susie Bubble and Natalie Joos are also fans. Buyers have followed suit: their first order for New York boutique Fivestory sold out within 24 hours, and ASOS, Opening Ceremony, Browns Boutique and Moda Operandi have all put in orders.

Men in tights: Manly or....??


Men's tights, for so long the preserve of ballet dancers and runway models, are taking Manhattan by storm and could soon be seen on the street of Britain.


When trendsetters speculated what would be the defining men's fashion movement to sweep New York this winter, few opted for the male legging.

But "Megging", as the male legging is known, is now all the rage in sartorial circles. Celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Russell Brand and Lenny Kravitz have all been spotted wearing leggings, while fashion stores Uniqlo, Barneys and Nordstrom are selling tights for men.

The bad news is they are on their way to Britain: Uniqlo is already selling them on its British website, and their success in New York is seen as an indication they will also prove popular here.

They are expected to follow on from the trend for "skinny jeans" on men, which have become a staple of the British high street.

Some New Yorkers, however, see the "megger" as an affront to masculinity. Gabriel Cru, 35, from the Bronx, said: "Men in tights? Get out of here. We don't do men in tights in New York. That's European!"

Ladies, do you like or do you not like?? Tell us here ;)

Louboutin - known for his trademark red soles - has been tasked to put his own magic touch on the world’s most famous pair of shoes, Cinderella’s slipper.

The new design will be a modern representation iof the heel from the classic fairytale which is set to be re-released as a “Diamond Edition” on Blu-ray this October.

“Isn’t it everyone’s dream, to once in your life part of a fairy tale?” Louboutin mused.

“Walt Disney Studios gave me a wonderful opportunity to live this magical moment. I have been so lucky to have crossed paths with Cinderella, an icon who is so emblematic to the shoe world as well as the dream world.”

This isn’t the first foray into fashion for Disney. Alfred Angelo and Disney debuted their first collection of bridal gowns in 2010, Disney Fairy Tale Weddings by Alfred Angelo, as part of Disney Bridal.

Meanwhile, Harrods will unveil a set of window displays showcasing dresses created by a number of world-leading designers in November, including Oscar de la Renta, Versace and Elie Saab, each with their interpretation of the original Disney Princess dresses.

A pair of Louboutin shoes starts at around $600 and can cost up to several thousand dollars.

Further details are yet to be released until July, but if you want to be the first to find out what the new Louboutin Cinderella shoes will look like, visit the Cinderella Facebook page for the latest updates.
