Bernie Ecclestone suggests Hublot ...

Bernie Ecclestone suggested watchmaker Hublot to use his beat up face in advertising of their watch. Ecclestone was brutally attacked in the end of last month and his 200.000 pounds Hublot watch was stolen. "See what people do for a Hublot?" ... sincerely  I think it gross!!

Tom Ford for H&M

Two days after Lanvin for H&M collection hit the stores, gossip has it that the next designer will be Tom Ford.

The 49-year-old American fashion designer gained international fame as creative director of Gucci, and after leaving the role he went on to launch his hugely successful line.

Rimmel mascara ad campaign banned for false advertising!

A new TV ad featuring  Rolling Stone's front-man Mick Jagger's daughter Georgia May gave the impression a Rimmel mascara had miraculous results in creating longer, thicker eye-lashes.

However, the images failed to make clear that the effect was enhanced with artificial lashes.

Today, the Advertising Standards Authority(ASA) has banned the maker of Rimmel London's '1-2-3 Looks Mascara' from running the commercial again.

Fail for H&M

I was really looking forward to see the Lanvin for H&M collection, but I was totally disappointed today. Firstly the way H&M organized the sale was a huge fail - 10 minutes time, only one piece to try on and most off all the whole collection was sold in 2 hours, so by the time my bracelet had a chance to go in the secured area, all was gone. Sorry to say but this was a huge fail for H&M and Lanvin!

Valentino for Gap

In the wake of today's long expected Lanvin for H&M launch, American GAP announced its new collaboration with Valentino. The collaboration was prepared together with the launch of GAP in Italy (first two shops just opened in Milan and Rome). The collection will be available from November 27 with reasonable prices - compared with those from Lanvin for H&M.

Lanvin for H&M - Promo Video - Women's Full Lookbook

I said to myself that's enough of Lanvin for H&M ... but I can't help it ... I am biting my nails waiting for the November 23! Here's the video with the complete overview of the collection.

Here it is - Lanvin for H&M collection

First glance of Lanvin for H&M

The long awaited collection by Alber Elbaz, Lavin's artistic director, for the H&M goes on sale on November 23 in selected stores nationwide, and this is definitely one collaboration worth getting out of bed early for.

Stand out items include the multitude of amazing cocktail dresses which at first glance look like they've walked straight of the Lanvin catwalk; a decorative drop evening necklace in pink or red at an unbeatable price of 34.99 EUR and the sexy stilettos which come in either leopard print and red patent with diamanté encrusted heels, and black or floral adorned with bows. All the shoes feature Lanvin's signature ribbon ankle ties. Admirers of Lanvin's appliqué T-shirts which usually retail around the 228.99 EUR mark will be delighted with the H&M version which delivers as much wow factor for only 34.99 EUR.

Prices range from 9.99 EUR for a lipstick to 228.99 EUR for black sateen coat with jewelled buttons and detachable fur collar. The cocktail dresses come in between 91.99 -171.99 EUR.

Bermondsey Street Fashion Show 2010

Here's an example how every street in every town can become a fashion catwalk event of its own.

London's Bermondsey street Fashion show started well before it was called the trendiest street in south east London in October 2008 issue of Vogue. The street is well know for its cool boutiques, pubs, restaurant and of course The Fashion and Textile Museum, which was opened in 2003 and is founded by the fashion icon Zandra Rhodes. Rhodes is one of the biggest supporters of Bermondsey Street Fashion Show, where she is gladly showing her masterpieces which are usually enriched by the jewelry of another Bermondsey Street resident Andrew Logan. 

This year's event got even bigger and new names have been invited to the catwalk. Along with Rhodes, Logan and Pierre Garroudi, it included Bermondsey best Cockfighter, Pussy Willow, and Bermondsey 167. Director and founder of Bermondsey 167 boutique is Michael Mc Grath, who was Head of Menswear Design for Burberry.

The spirit of the event can be seen in the film below. For more information about Bermondsey street and events there go on

Forget Botox - use sellotape

A-lost Hollywood starts know this secret for years. Here it is ... sounds crazy, but apparently these patches, known as Frownies, have been around for more than 100 years and are today known as an alternative to Botox. 

They look like brown paper, but you moisten one side and glue it to your forehead for four hours, or ideally overnight. 

By stretching out the skin, wrinkles are smoothed when you remove the patch — although the effects might not last much longer than a sojourn down the red carpet.

Hells Angels suing Alexander McQueen

The Hells Angels Motorcycle Corporation is suing Alexander McQueen for breach of trademark, after the fashion house featured motifs similar to its famous winged death head.

Lawyers for the motorcycle gang cited four products from the late designer's final collection, created shortly before his suicide in February this year.

They named the £895 'Hells Angels' jacquard box dress, and a £300 knuckle-duster ring in the complaint, as well as a scarf and a handbag.

As long as I'm higher than the Queen

Forget Carla Bruni, here comes Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al-Missned, wife of the Emir of Qatar. The Emir of Qatar and his wife are on a state visit to Britain with a ceremony full of pomp and pageantry amid the regal splendor of Windsor Castle. The oil and gas-rich Gulf emirate has a growing influence in Britain and has seen some high profile developments in recent years including the acquisition of the world famous Harrods store for a reported £1.5billion in May.
