Air-conditioned Clothes - www.dailymail.co.uk
A Japanese company just came up with a solution to the sweltering summer heat—air-conditioned clothes.
That’s right. Sounds very much like science fiction, but Kuchou-fuku, the company that makes these self-cooling shirts and jackets, have successfully translated this technology into reality.
Last Friday, the iconic New York City department store Saks Fifth Avenue opened a new shoe floor which carries a hundred thousand pairs of shoes, a figure that definitely dwarfs even that of notorious shoe fetishist, former Philippine First lady Imelda Marcos.
And many women are calling the 8th-floor store “shoe heaven”, with three times more shoes and brands like Jimmy Choo, Christian Dior, Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Valentino, Dolce and Gabbana, Jonathan Kelsey and Burberry. Apart from the dizzying array of shoes, the floor also boasts of an express elevator, a VIP shopping room, expert shoe repair and two cafes.

Shalow Harlow is featured in a new shoot for Noir, with photographer Marc Hom capturing the Canadian supermodel in several sexy poses wearing the latest designs of Peter Ingwersen, the Danish label’s creative director.
Paris Hilton - www.parishiltonworld.info
If almost every celebrity these days fancies himself or herself a fashion designer and decides to launch their own “creations”, will Paris Hilton be left behind? Apparently not, as she herself has unveiled a new clothing line for trendy Beverly Hills store Kitson.
And in typical Paris fashion, the launch stopped traffic, quite literally. A huge crowd formed just to get a glimpse of the recently-released from prison heiress, causing the closure of one traffic lane as extra cops were called in to handle the sheer number of people.
Last month, we learned that internationally renowned British artist Damien Hirst was being tapped by Levi’s as guest designer for Levi's Warhol Factory X collection. Now we get to take a first look at his work for the brand.
Levi’s released this picture of a black Levi’s denim grafted with crystal skulls, apparently Hirst’s homage to his own controversial artwork, the $99 million, diamond-studded human skull.
Victoria’s Secret will soon be demonstrating its commitment to doing its part for the environment through collections that are eco-friendly.
The lingerie giant, along with Victoria’s Secret Pink, its line of lingerie and loungewear that caters to the younger set, will unveil this spring mini collections that include fleece tees, tanks, accessories and other items made from organic cottons
According to a Victoria’s Secret Pink spokesperson, this move by the company “is the right next step. Customers love our brand and are very aware of the environment right now. Everyone is conscious of it.”
Teri Hatcher - www.buddytv.com
Badgley Mishka has a new face in the person of Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher.
Hatcher, who plays the klutzy Susan Mayer in the hit ABC series, will appear in the latest Badgley Mishka campaign via a series of posters and ads for the label's autumn/winter collection. The ads, which were shot in a Bel Air, California mansion last month, show the actress clad in various dresses, including a hand-painted platinum velvet dress embossed with a pale gold Baroque pattern and polka dot lingerie.
Heidi Klum - www.fashionweekdaily.com
Jordache has released images from its latest advertising campaign featuring supermodel Heidi Klum, and the Project Runway host and mother of three looks absolutely sultry in the ads.
The German supermodel is shown in the ads clad in classic Jordache skinny jeans in dark indigo, with one showing her topless with her back to the camera, looking over her shoulder and brandishing a riding whip, which evokes the horse-head logo of the brand.

Reports have been circulating that Suri Cruise, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter that Baby Gap has chosen the 16-month-old to be its new face.
However, a rep for the actor dismissed the rumors, categorically stating that it is “totally untrue”.
According to the rumor that broke out Wednesday, the kids clothing company reportedly approached the showbiz couple and offered a lucrative contract for Suri to front its latest campaign.
