One dress that suits all figures
It's a bit of a claim, but the Telegraph believe they have found a dress (or style of dress) even better than the Roland Mouret's creations... the smock.
Admittedly, the smock doesn't sound anywhere near as impressive but Clare Coulson, writing for the Telegraph, has said it's out there for all women to enjoy.
Stella McCartney for Target Australia
Stella McCartney is certainly a busy woman. With her own collections, and a number of capsules for other lines and stores including H&M, it has been revealed that the designer has created a 42 piece capsule for Target Australia.
Zac Posen's Fashion Rules
Described as having the "mastery of Christian Dior and Madame Vionnet" 26 year old designer would like to share some fashion tips with all men. Complimenting Sean Combs and having him as a financial backer might seem a little skewed, but there are still some ideas to be gleaned.
2. You should always carry a handkerchief. It's a courteous thing to have. If I'm out at night, I keep a handkerchief on hand for a lady.
5. Beautiful pyjamas are essential. The best are Sea Island cotton plaid ones from Turnbull & Asser.
More details on the Prada Mobile Phone
The Prada phone is coming, and they're trying to steal Apple's thunder.
Touting it as the the "world's first advanced touch interface", the phone will feature an in-built MP3 player, video player, document viewer, blue-tooth, and, oh, a phone. All-in-all it comes across as a more basic version of the Apple iPhone, but with Apple's release date much later in the year this is still going to hurt their sales with the fashion market.
Christopher Kane for Topshop
He wowed us with his super-bright, super-tight mini-dresses at the Spring 2007 collections (seen below). Now Christopher Kane is taking his designs to the masses via a capsule collection for Topshop.
According to Vogue UK:
H+M Off The Mark with Madonna
Apparently, Madonna will design a fashion range for H&M. The 'M by Madonna' range, we're told, will be released in March 2007.
The question is: how many people actually want to look like Madonna? And we're not talking Madonna in her hey-day, when she somehow managed to make dark eyebrows and bleached hair look fashion forward. We're talking about Madonna today. In recent times we've seen her all too often in tracksuit pants, doing freaky acrobatics in high-cut leotards and taking on the world one orphan at a time with those veiny Rocky-esque bicepts. Although the descriptions of Madonna as a style chameleon and successful cultural phenomenon can hardly be refuted, the question is more of her relevance to fashion today. Do the younger generations, who are the target audience of stores like H&M, want to dress like Madonna?
H&M have had some highly successful collaborations in the past with popular and well-regarded fashion designers. It would seem that Kate Moss being picked up by TopShop may just have rival retailers clambering for their own celebrity-named lines in response.
Move over Stella McCartney - that's what fashion's all about.

Kurkova Models Victoria's Secret Diamond Bra
It may never be purchased, and is certainly not the most practical of undergarments. But the 2006 Victoria's Secret dream bra sure is pretty. Worth US $6.5 million, it contains 2,000 flawless diamonds and has a 10-carat diamond brooch as its centerpiece. Karolina Kurkova has been chosen as the model of this year's uber-glam diamond bra.
