Pierre Hardy - www.fashionweekdaily.com
French designer Pierre Hardy has agreed to collaborate with Gap, and is set to create a capsule shoe collection for the American high street chain.
The designs by Hardy, who is also the chief creative director for Hermès's jewelry division as well as designer for Balenciaga’s shoe collections, will be previewed, albeit on a limited basis, in Gap stores in the UK and France later this year. A more extensive range is then expected to hit shelves for spring/summer 2008.
Claudia Schiffer - www.nndb.com
Claudia Schiffer, one of the world’s original supermodels, says the supermodel culture is dead. And that singers and actresses are the ones to blame.
The 37-year-old German beauty says the kind of fame that she and Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell had in their heyday in the 1990s can no longer be achieved by the current crop of models, simply because magazines and advertisers are featuring more and more actresses and singers on their covers and ad campaigns.

Less than two months after Agent Provacateur announced that it has tapped actress Maggie Gyllenhaal to be its new face—and body--, the lingerie giant has released pictures from its new ad campaign featuring the actress in various steamy poses clad in its lingerie.
Gyllenhaal, who takes over from supermodel Kate Moss who was dropped by the company in July, is shown in sexy pictures that range from one where she is in handcuffs to one where she is in a bathtub splashing about.

Twenty8Twelve, the fashion label by actress Sienna Miller and her sister Savannah, has finally opened its first boutique, after weeks of being available in stores such as Matches and Browns.

Kate Moss - www.vogue.co.uk
Kate Moss' recently released fragrance is the perfume to beat among the ever-growing number of scents inspired by celebrities.
Kate by Kate Moss, which the English supermodel developed in collaboration with perfume experts Coty, has already sold out only a day after its launch Thursday in Marrakesh. According to Superdrug, Kate sold 10% more than glamour model Jordan’s Stunning by Jordan, which was launched last week and has since occupied the top spot in celebrity scent sales before Moss’ product came along.
Salvatore Ferragamo has a new creative director of its women's ready-to-wear line in the person of Cristina Ortiz.
The Spanish designer, a former design director for Prada and chief designer for Lanvin for four years, will be taking over the post vacated by Graeme Black, who resigned last month reportedly to concentrate on his signature line with business partner Jonathan Reed.
Chloe Sevigny - www.chloesevigny.com
Academy Award-nominated actress Chloe Sevigny returns to her designing roots, this time with a collection for new label Opening Ceremony.
What’s more, the collection by Sevigny, who used to be creative director of Imitation of Christ, is set to debut next month during New York Fashion Week. Between noon and 6 p.m on September 10, to be exact.
In partnership with Elizabeth Arden, pop music superstar Mariah Carey has created M, her new fragrance that translates the beauty of her musical notes into a fragrance that embodies her warmth, sensuality and glamour'.
The scent, packaged in a bottlle beautifully crafted from purple glass with a butterfly stopper, mixes the sweetness of marshmallow with Tahitian Tiare flower petals, and amber with woody accents. “For me creating this scent was like creating a song; it takes many notes to compose a fragrance. It's like a beautiful melody”, says the former Pinko model.
Legendary designer and Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld has decided to hold the French fashion house’s pre autumn/winter collection showcase in London.
Lagerfeld told fashion bible WWD that he chose the British capital as the setting for the exclusive fashion event because he thinks “London can be fun.”
The event, which Lagerfeld created in 2002, is likely to take place in an art gallery in early December, although details remain sketchy.
Last year, Monte Carlo hosted the lavish event, which Lagerfield pioneered in order to show off the talents of seven ateliers bought by Chanel while also preserving the industry's traditions.

Victoria Beckham - www.sawf.org
Victoria Beckham and her family may have relocated to the United States, but her loyalty to her country remains, at least as far as style is concerned.
The Spice Girl opines that British women, like her for instance, are more stylish than Americans. She says that although she loves how L.A. women dress, she thinks “the UK has the most stylish women in the world”. Take that, America!
Beckham says it is the creative way British women are able to mix and match outfits that impresses her, that British women “really know how to mix things up.” And that, she adds, makes her “proud to be British”.
