"Kate thinks she's got a very unique, rock-chick look," says our source. "She really felt that Irina embodies the feel of her TopShop range - her porcelain skin, her big eyes under her thick Sixties fringe - it was a look Kate was impressed with." [Source]

Giorgio Armani - www.vogue.co.uk
Just six months after getting an honorary degree from London's University of the Arts, designer Giorgio Armani has once again taken the stage to receive a similar conferment from Milan's Politecnico di Milano University.
Amid wild cheering from the audience, who welcomed him warmly with loud calls of “bravo”, Armani walked down the Italian university’s main hall and accepted an honorary degree for industrial design.
For a change, the designer wore a graduation gown, a mortar board and the school’s signature blue striped tie in lieu of his own label for the ceremony.
Eva Avila - partyblog.ca
Maybelline New York has appointed reigning Canadian Idol Eva Avila as a spokesmodel for the makeup giant.
Details of the deal, which makes Avila Maybelline’s first ever Canadian endorser, were not disclosed.
According to Mylene Menard, a spokeswoman for Maybelline New York, Avila was chosen because “What you see is what you get with Eva,” and that the singer is “a very genuine individual who is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.”

Anand Jon Alexander - www.fashion.ie
Organizers of L. A. Fashion Week have confirmed that the scheduled fashion show of jailed designer Anand Jon Alexander has been canceled.
Alexander, who is being accused of sexual assault by at least seven alleged victims, including two girls aged 15 and 17,was supposed to introduce his AJ Jeans collection Tuesday night, but organizers have decided to cancel the show and remove his name from their web site in an apparent move to distance itself from the designer, who has been in jail since March 6.
Janice Dickinson - img.timeinc.net
Janice Dickinson may be “The World’s First Supermodel” like she loves to claim, but that didn’t stop L.A. Fashion Week organizers from banning her from future shows after she caused a ruckus during the Ed Hardy fashion show last night.
Marc Jacobs -nymag.com
Marc Jacobs, one of the most famous designers in the world today, has checked himself into rehab the day after showing his Louis Vuitton collection in Paris.
The New York-based designer, who has in the past admitted to having problems with substance and alcohol abuse, was reported to have relapsed after seven years of being sober, and was quick to take action and undergo a second round of in-patient rehabilitation at a treatment facility in the State of Arizona.
From the catwalk to the rugby field.
As a favor to his close friend Russell Crowe, Giorgio Armani, one of the greatest designers of all time, will be designing the uniforms of the rugby team now co-owned by the Academy Award-winning actor.
For those wondering why someone like Armani should be designing for an Australian rugby team called The Rabbitohs, the great Italian designer has this to say:
"Well, there are two very good reasons. The first is that my friend Russell Crowe does not call often and when he does, it is usually about something very important. 'Hi Giorgio, I need an outfit for the Academy Awards, what do you suggest?' Or, 'hey I'm getting married, what should I wear?' Or, in this case, 'I've bought a share in the Rabbitohs and they are going back to the top of the premiership, would you help to design a special outfit for them?'

Sveva Gualdi - showbiz.sky.com
Hollywood actor Josh Hartnett seems to have a thing for supermodels.
The actor, who was once inked to supermodels such as Helena Christensen and Gisele Bundchen, was reportedly spotted being all lovey-dovey all over New York City with top Italian model Sveva Gualdi.
In Touch magazine reports that the actor and the model were seen strolling the streets of New York, and they didn’t seem to care who saw them kissing and holding hands. The magazine also added that the two, who reportedly met at a New York party, have been dating for about a month now.
Australian Fashion Week is still more than a month away, but this early, its organizers are already in the process of setting up healthy weight guidelines for models so that they will be in place by the time the major fashion event starts.
According to Fashion Week head honcho Simon Lock, they just “don’t want to see young girls hurting themselves in any way”, which is why they’re setting up the guidelines in time for Fashion Week, which is scheduled from April 30 to May 4.
This latest move by the organizers comes on the heels of the Australian Medical Association’s calls for the introduction of healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) guidelines for fashion models so that eating disorders among young people might be addressed.
