Recently, Kate Moss has launched her latest and last collection for toyshop. Kate Moss has been successful working for Toyshop for four years to be exact and has designed approximately 14 collections, majority of which were extremely successful and sold out pretty fast. It is a sad fact that Kate Moss is leaving Toyshop but she can also look back and proudly think about all the collections she made.

She was also since saying “when we started the project we didn’t have an end in mind but I’m really proud of all 14 collections. I’ve learned a lot about the design and development process; experiences that I’d only ever seen informally through being a model”. To launched her last collection, Moss worn a custom-made, daring sparkly black jumpsuit. Together with the final collection, Toyshop plans on releasing “Kate Iconic”, a capsule collection of the supermodel’s 10 most popular designs. Moss collection is now available in stores and online.

Trying to reinvent this classic beauty cornerstone like the red lip is not an easy thing to do. Makeup artists showed a couple of ways to test this style. First is by altering the tone of the lipstick chosen, next is by playing with the texture or try dialling down the intensity.

Another beauty classic is out on the try out to be one of this fall’s trends and that is the black-lined eye or in other words the dramatic eyeliner. Artists like Stephane Marais was seen saying this fashion statement below the eye is to evoke “a young woman who’s gone out and a few hours later, the makeup is melting.

Lastly, is the Muted Hue trend which stands for subtle eye-shadows. The way eyes are encircled in a swoosh of a single, subtle shade like putty, taupe or dove grey are said to be “quite sexy and interesting in a nude way” by Pat McGrath.

This is not surprising at all when the pop star and actress was actually spotted on the beach with her twins with what seemed like a photo shoot session going on. At that time, the actress refused to comment on anything. But, two months later these speculations turn out to be true as we are not seeing the mini Lopezes as models in the new Gucci campaign.

The twins, a boy and a girl who go under the name of Max and Emme respectively, are only two and a half years old. They are the new young faces of Gucci’s children line. Not one to let her kids gauge the limelight, J-Lo was also in the ad with the two babies.

Speaking on this experience the doting mother says, “It was a totally special experience.” She goes on to say that she choose the brand as it is involved in charity. The new collection will help Gucci donate $1 million to UNICEF’s Schools for Africa and also $50,000 to J-Lo’s own charity called the Maribel Initiative.

Lara Stone is currently very hot in England and of course, a very hot model for Calvin Klein, but as it turned out; not everyone think she’s hot! Australia decided to start their week off by banning the new hot Lara Stone Ad for Calvin Klein Jeans. This is due to the fact that the ad happened to display some very naughty acts going on, depending on how your mind works.

Lara Stone in the latest Calvin Klein Jeans campaign won’t touch down in Australia, at least on the billboard. As you can see above in the ad, Australia thinks it’s too raunchy to be displayed high up in their country in front of everyone.

In the Calvin Klein Jeans ad campaign, Lara Stone is seen doing something we can’t really figure out yet. Maybe the gap-toothed supermodel can help explain what the ad was trying to portray. Nevertheless, Australia thinks that the ad is basically “suggestive of violence and rape” and the Koala-nation wouldn’t want that to influence the youngsters in any way. Too bad for CK!

Recently, Lindsay Lohan expressed fears that her fashion line might just fail in the market. The main reason for that to happen was, according to Lindsay, the fact that she would be in rehab. See if she was in rehab, Lindsay thinks there would be no one who would take care of her clothing line and look into important things involving the line.

The latest report doing the rounds is that despite the fact that Lindsay is in rehab, her clothing line is in no trouble. Apparently, the clothing line consists of materials and designs that Lindsay herself put together while earlier attending rehab, the time when it was ordered by the court. As we all know, the judge has since ordered her back in rehab due to a failed drug test.

It certainly must be a relief for the troubled star to know that her line is doing well without any problem. Maybe her being in rehab is having a positive effect on her fashion line, if not on her films.

This is definitely something we have never thought we would hear of one day; Dolce & Gabbana announced that they are sponsoring a boxing team. The two men behind Dolce & Gabbana, Stefano and Domenico, recently officially announced that they will be sponsoring a boxing team. We have to admit that we didn’t know that boxing is popular in Europe.

Before this, Stefano and Domenico publicly supported soccer or football, as they call the sport over in Europe. Speaking on their decision to sponsor a boxing team, the pair says, “Sport is mainly about discipline and sacrifice and it constantly inspires our collections.”

So far Dolce & Gabbana sponsors AC Milan and Chelsea soccer clubs and now they will be sponsoring the Milano Thunder boxing team as well. So now, we guess we’ll see these boxers wearing Dolce & Gabbana gloves and shorts. Who knows? Aside from sponsoring sports club, it is not well-known as the fashion brand also has its own gym line. Way to go Stefano and Domenico!

We announced a while back that Disney princess Selena Gomez will be releasing a new fashion line. Well, the collection is out now and Selena herself stepped out to promote it. So, Selena went all out to promote her new line by hosting a launch party at the 34th Street Kmart store in New York City.

Selena Gomez’s new line, the Dream Out Loud collection is out now and the star has been reaching the stars to promote it. The Disney star who acts in “Wizards of Waverly Place” went on to sign more than 700 autographs for her beloved fans.

Selena also took the time out to share with the press her experience of creating the Dream Out Loud collection. The Dream Out Loud collection debuted at Kmart where fans will have access to all of Selena’s items. According to the star, the collection consists of real clothes that people actually wear on a daily basis.

There he goes again. Just when we thought Mr Kanye West has calmed down and stop speaking his mind out loud, he opens it again. But, this time we don’t know whether we support his thoughts or not. See, this time it’s Lindsay Lohan he’s attacking and we all know how Lindsay is ruining her life. Hollywood experts claim that the young starlet’s career might be over and there’s no turning back.

This time Kanye West described or rather compared Lindsay Lohan’s fashion line to 9/11. Kanye himself claims he breathes by fashion or his every breath is fashion. Whatever that means! Elle’s UK site reports that Kanye West commented that the effect of Lohan’s line is like the effect of the infamous airplane attacks of September 11, 2001. He claims that it’s because of the Lindsay/Ungaro collection that celebrities are not being taken seriously in the fashion world. We think celebrities should just stay celebs rather than taking more than they can swallow.

Seems like celebs these days are either launching fashion lines or expanding them; the latest to do so is singer/rapper Lil Kim. The rapper was once a convict and decided to turn her life around after a series of mishaps with the law.

Singer and rapper Lil Kim is expanding her brand and making it bigger. As busy as she is, the singer recently joined Twitter. The latter will help Lil Kim to further promote her line online. Her fashion line is called 24/7 Star: Goddess Collection. It was recently launched at North Carolina Fashion Week where viewers got an idea of what the clothes are like.

Several sources explain that Lil Kim has been developing this line for some time now and the singer has also teamed up with Meagan Goode to launch the 24/7 Star’s flagship collection. The line consists of lot shimmery cocktail dresses, catsuits, jackets and many more. Stay tuned for more details.

Seems like Victoria Beckham has taken it upon herself to test the handbags from her own collection first; the lady was seen sporting her handbag on her way to somewhere. What an ideal way to promote the bags! Obviously Posh Spice knew the paparazzi would go crazy and she would be snapped with the bag, which will then ensure an inexpensive publicity campaign of the bag.

The skinny wife of superstar footballer David Beckham was spotted traveling with her own bag on hand. Victoria happens to be the first celebrity who was spotted wearing the bag from her new handbag collection. It’s hard to think whether this was a publicity move from the former Spice Girl or she was just testing if the bag works. Her dress collection has seen itself a few testers from the likes of Blake Lively to Jennifer Hudson and Eva Longoria, the latter is a dear friend of Mrs. Beckham. Let’s see if this new handbag line works the same for Victoria Beckham.
