Rimmel Keeps Kate Moss

Senior Vice President Stephen Mormoris rubbished complaints earlier in the week that they were looking for a new face.

He told WWD:” Kate Moss delivers a distinctive type of beauty that is both inspirational and attainable to Rimmel users.

"She is a terrific model for the mainstream cosmetic line [Rimmel London] and she will continue to represent the brand.

Roland Mouret to Make A Comeback

Almost two years after he stunned the fashion world by quitting his own label, fashion designer Roland Mouret is poised to make a comeback at Paris' Couture Week in July—with an all-new collection, no less.

The satellite collection will be called RM, featuring Mouret's "signature draping techniques" and fine tailored "must have" pieces including iconic dresses, jackets, skirts and trousers.

"The idea of this satellite collection is for me to be able to express the most concentrated vision of my ideas of dressing women and to deliver that vision to them in the shortest time possible," said Mouret.
