Whitney Port asks fans to fund her fashion show
Here's a concept not even the most cash-strapped, fledgling design talents of East London have thought of: general public fundraising. However, Whitney Port - one of the stars of the MTV reality TV series The Hills - is one step ahead of them and has appealed to her fans to donate money to fund her...
Justin Bieber disses Prince William's hair
Off with his head! Big-haired teen pop sensation Justin Bieber has dared to dispense hair advice to our, ahem, breezy crowned future king, Prince William. With all the subtlety of a teenager with a luscious head of hair, and no thought that he may one day boast an 'island of tranquility' up top himself, Bieber told Rollercoater magazine: "I mean,...
Still Styled to Rock? Henry Holland and Nicola Roberts take our style challenge
After August 12 there will be no more Olympic nail art to enjoy, no abundance of toned abs to marvel at, and no supermodels to spot in the stands … so thank god for Rihanna, and her new fashion talent TV show, Styled to Rock , to keep us sartorially entertained well into the new season. ...
Watch: Agyness Deyn for Dr. Martens
We've not seen or heard much of Agyness Deyn since she secretly and surprisingly married actor Giovanni Ribisi in June this year, but hopefully that's about to change with the launch of her debut range for Dr. Martens on August 15. The Oldham-born model-turned-actress has collaborated with the famous boot makers on a collection of clothing, accessories and footwear, all of which is said to take inspiration from grungy Nineties power couples like Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis, and Johnny...

Giorgio Armani: I've sacrificed life for fashion
Victoria Beckham says she has sacrificed her smile for the sake of her fashion career, but Giorgio Armani claims to have forfeited a great deal more for his. As one of the greatest living designers of the contemporary age, he's estimated to have a personal fortune of $7.2 billion dollars...
Alexa Chung to star in Gossip Girl
We're used to seeing snaps of Leighton Meester and Blake Lively tramping around New York in designer ballgowns and Ugg boots filming their hit TV series, Gossip Girl, but Brit style icon, Alexa Chung, upped the fashion ante on set yesterday. The 28-year-old model and TV presenter, who...
Jaime King: She Wears It Well
Model-turned-actress Jaime King appeared in my idea of the perfect day-to-evening dress earlier this week. It's a look from Giambattista Valli's pre-fall 12 collection and it ticks a lot of my current What I Want From a Dress boxes: midi-length hemline, pleats, demure cut but interesting colour combination that lifts it above the ordinary. This...
Victorias Secret already upsetting Bond Street neighbours
Upmarket department store Fenwick's, which is situated opposite the soon-to-open VS store, is allegedly "concerned about the potentially provocative window displays and the kind of shoppers it will attract" to the area, reports The Evening Standard . ...
The Last Emperor strikes back: Valentino retrospective heading for Somerset House
Six yapping pugs, his signature shade of red, and that signature skin-tone of teak: these are just a few of the many of things fashion has missed since Valentino Garavani's retirement five years ago. Now Italy's greatest couturier is set for a long-overdue retrospective. A new exhibition opening at Somerset House this November will present over...
Micro trend: Body chains
Body chains are by no means a new phenomenon - have a quick hunt on Google and you'll see that ladies who make a living by shedding their clothes have sworn by them for years... But along came Rihanna (another shameless poseur, pictured above) and upped their fashion credentials with a fondness for body chains of the fine jewellery variety. The...

Ted Baker's new Ottoman empire
I swear I only popped into the launch of Ted Baker's new Ottoman Lounge in central London to show a face and to blag a light beard trim. About two hours later I emerged into the late evening sun, blinking, woozy, a lot spaced out. That's the kind of effect "magic hands" Ergun, one of Ted's team of charming Turkish barbers, has on a man. To explain:...
Inside Jacquetta Wheelers fairytale wedding
Hot on the heels of heiress Margherita Missoni's recent wedding , Jacquetta Wheeler has tied the knot with her own beau, Allsopp. The statuesque model, who was discovered by photographer Mario Testino, picked designer friend Alice Templerley to design her fairytale gown. ...
Anna Wintour and Sarah Jessica Parker team up for Glee
We can't say we're fans of US musical cheese-fest Glee , but news of who is going to be involved in the next season has suddenly got us interested. Not only will Sarah Jessica Parker be a recurring character on the upcoming season but she'll be playing a ...
How Mr Kate Moss gets dressed
He's best known as Mr Kate Moss but behind the supermodel lays a rocker with just as much to say about style as his sartorially-lauded other half. Whilst his wife could pull off a scabby bin bag with aplomb, Jamie Hince isn't so lucky. "Hoodies. Can't do that. Trainers. I can't wear trainers. They look good on the shelf, but as...
Why Keira Knightley hates the front row
It's August 1, which means it's only one month to go until the merry-go-round of fashion weeks kick off. However one face we are unlikely to see smiling back from the much-hyped front row is Keira Knightley. In pictures: Keira Knightley's greatest fashion hits The apparently camera-shy...

Tom Ford is a welcome addition to the next London Collections: Men schedule, which will run from January 7 to January 9 2013.

July's most stylish: Anne Hathaway
It's official: Anne Hathaway and her (relatively) new pixie crop are having a moment. Before getting the Haircut of Her Life, Anne loved nothing more than a floral, Oscar de la Renta strapless mini, or an embellished prom-style frock offset by her tumbling, tousled waves to rock the red carpet. IN PICS: Anne...
The Duchess of Cambridge makes Vanity Fair's Best-Dressed List 2012
The Duchess of Cambridge has been voted one of Vanity Fair 's most stylish stars of 2012. Quelle surprise! Or not: she made the glossy's Best-Dressed List last year, and in 2008, when she was plain old Kate Middleton. Still, it's impressive, given that she once turned...
London Collections: Men makes a comeback
London's first men's fashion week - rather uncatchily known as London Collections: Men - was such a hit when it debuted last month, that the British Fashion Council have today announced it will make a return in January. The three day event consisting of presentations, catwalk shows, and parties (which you can see...
Madonnas shoes prove to be a hit
Madonna's latest venture into the world of fashion has proved to be an unprecedented success. The pop-up shop which exclusively houses her new shoe range, Truth Or Dare, in Selfridges' Oxford Street store has reportedly become the most successful footwear space in the store. "It's been thrilling to see our customers' response to this project - the...
Ready For Her Close-Up: Jessica Biel
I had my eyes peeled all weekend for sportswomen with good make-up to write about for today's column. Sadly, though, as I expected, the likes of Rebecca Adlington and Lizzie Armistead have more pressing matters to worry about than if their base is looking adequately dewy or if their eyeliner is properly flicked. So onto Jessica Biel, who I'm not...

The 'Hatwalk' comes to town
When Stephen Jones told the Telegraph back in May that 2012 would be the year of the hat, citing Ascot and the Jubilee as the main reasons, little did we know that there was another, rather surprising, reason for his belief that he was keeping firmly under his, well, hat. This morning...

A male model who became one of the country's top talent spotters is being sued by Naomi Campbell's former agency for poaching rising stars. Jon Bruce is accused of "diverting away" models and passing on confidential information to his own rival agency whilst still employed by Premier Model Management Ltd. Carole...
Gucci release latest Charlotte Casiraghi campaign
The 'Forever Now' theme, which will see Monaco royal Charlotte Casiraghi in four campaigns shot by four famed photographers over two years, highlights Casiraghi's and Gucci's shared passion of all things equestrian.

Is Italy losing its high-fashion gloss?
Miuccia Prada, the 63-year-old designer at the helm of Prada and Miu Miu, has voiced her concern that the dispersion of Italian talent and brands could see the country's fashion industry fall into a "second league", report WWD . In...
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: Ive wanted to design ever since I can remember
An intricately embroidered bra-strap and a cup embellished with a cut-out trim poke out provocatively from a lilac ballet cardigan; admittedly, that's all we know about Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's design debut for Marks & Spencer so far, but we're certain it's worth the wait. The Devonian graces the September cover of UK Elle and the Dolce &...

Campbells coup: model Edie Campbell gets ready for her race at Goodwood
MAY This month I begin my training for the Magnolia Cup, the charity horse race held at Goodwood. The race last year was incredible, but a total blur. The only conscious moment in that minute and a half was the sudden realisation that there was no one in front...
