Supermodel Kate Moss's next project? Fronting Mango's Spring/Summer 2012 campaign.

This is the second time Moss will be working with the Spanish retail chain. She first worked with Mango when she appeared in a promotional video shot by Terry Richardson for Mango's fall 2012 runway show in Paris). It was so successful, that Mango decided to use Kate Moss as its brand image for the upcoming season.

"It's important that she is a fashion icon who is famous worldwide and widely recognized," a Mango spokesperson told WWD. "She must be a reference for the Mango target market in order for Mango to become an aspirational brand for all our customers."

For the current campaign, Moss joins forces with Terry Richardson once again, for print ads and a TV commercial called, "Spy Game."

"I'm really excited to be working with Mango for spring/summer 2012," said Moss. "We had a great time shooting the campaign. The team are so easy to work with, and shooting with Terry is always fun."

Victoria's Secret launches a high-end lingerie collection

2012-01-25T19:49:00.001-05:00

Padded demi bra, $138; Dotted thong, $38

If you're one of those people who always covet the lingerie featured at the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show but can never seem to find it in stores, well you're in luck!

VS has launched its first high-end lingerie collection, which includes some of the key items that were featured in the show last November.

Named The Victoria's Secret Designer Collection, it includes a more grown-up fare from the usual fun, playful lingerie.

Think European-style baby dolls, see-through chiffons, garter belts, kimonos, and a merry widow corset.

The in-house designer collection is meant to replace the upscale designer brands featured on the main floor of Victoria's Secret stores, and to attract a more affluent and sophisticated consumer.

"We took it in-house because we have a design team that has such a passion for lingerie, and they differentiate Victoria's Secret from any other brand," said Ed Razek, president and chief marketing officer of Victoria's Secret.

But an upscale collection, means an upscale price tag.

Bras retail from $98 to $158, underwear and garter belts are $38 to $68, baby dolls and teddies are $158 to $218, the kimono $120, and the merry widow $298.

But, that doesn't seem to faze customers. Since the line's Tuesday launch, the collection has nearly sold out both online and in store.

Check out the collection below, and shop it here.

Balconet push-up bra, $158; Silk garterbelt, $68; Lace thong, $48

Sienna and Savannah Miller leave Twenty8Twelve

2012-01-25T19:06:00.000-05:00

After six years actress Sienna Miller and sister, Savannah Miller are leaving Twenty8Twelve.

The two co-founded the brand back in 2007 and also served as its creative directors.

"We've had a brilliant six years at Twenty8Twelve and are now looking forward to new pastures. We wish the brand the best of luck for the future," the pair told WWD.

The label will continue under the direction of its current design team, under the name Twenty8Twelve London, rather than Twenty8Twelve by S. Miller, as it was previously known.

The new collection will be shown at London Fashion Week, designed by Vanessa James and Elsa Elphick, two members of their original design team.

We already know that Sienna will be busy with her first child due later this year, but we're curious to know what's next for Savannah. Having studied design at Central St. Martins and worked with Alexander McQueen and Matthew Williamson, we can only hope that her career in fashion will continue to flourish.

Versace for H&M

2011-06-21T11:27:00.001-04:00

News broke this morning that Versace will be the next designer to collaborate with fast-fashion chain, H&M.

Designed by Versace creative director, Donatella Versace, the collection will "look back to the vibrant heritage of the brand, full of leather, print, colour and exuberance in exclusive materials at fantastic H&M prices."

“For me this is an opportunity to show to a very very big audience what Versace has been and what Versace is now,” said Donatella. “As a designer I look at the future–I never look at the past, but being the sister of Gianni, the DNA is Versace and I’m going to use iconic Versace pieces of iconic Versace moments which are not exactly always the past but also the present.”

The collection will include womenswear, menswear, and pieces for the home, and will hit stores on November 17. A pre-spring collection will be released on January 19, 2012, but only to countries with H&M online sales.

Donatella already wore one of the pieces at last night's Versace menswear show at Milan Fashion Week (pictured above), and H&M has given us a sneak peek of what is to come.

To all the 2.55 fans out there...you may have a new Chanel bag to covet!

The brand is releasing a new line of handbags this fall. Based on the hunting cartridge style originally carried by Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel herself, the Chanel Boy bags are made to embody the androgynous charm the designer was known for.

“Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel,” Karl Lagerfeld explains of his inspiration.

The glazed calfskin clutches, purses and totes will be available in a red, grey and ivory, and will range from $2500 to $4300.

Quote of the Day

...and no doubt it will be flying off the shelves.

Justin Bieber will be releasing a new fragrance called Someday in the fall. The scent will be a blend of fruity floral notes.

"Let’s be real, the way a girl smells is very important to a guy!" the Biebs told WWD. "I have such a deep connection with my fans, so creating a fragrance that I personally love is another way I can bring them closer to my world."

But before you start rolling your eyes (weren't the Bieber OPI nail polishes bad enough?), there is an upside to this celebrity fragrance: it will partner with Giving Back Brands, and donate a portion of sales to Pencils of Promise, and the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Terry Richardson will be shooting the campaign, and rumours are floating that Dree Hemingway will star.

The fragrance will range from $35-$55, depending on the size, and a hair mist is also among the offerings, because let's be serious, the Biebs is all about the hair.

"I'm itching like a heroin addict trying to get back on stage. I can't wait. I'm planning on launching a new tour by the end of this year, if not, the beginning of next. I'll never do a smaller show. It's got to be bigger, bigger, more epic, more of an opus. I don't care where I am in the world, theatrics are part of who I am. I don't do it big for the sake of it. It will always be more me and more of an extension of what I've created. I always want the crowd to feel more liberated than when they first walked in."

Quote of the Day

2011-05-17T10:40:00.000-04:00

"I think it's just obnoxious if I complain about anything…I hear people talk about like, oh, the intrusions on my privacy. It's like there are a million other jobs you could have had. And for me, I've just come to an acceptance of the fact, this is my life. If somebody wants to hide a relationship or has privacy issues then we don't have the same viewpoint. For me, it's just like live your life. If people happen to take picture then you know, you laugh about it in the car afterwards."

Quote of the day

2011-05-06T15:57:00.001-04:00

"I was terrified. There were very few teeth, I remember, and quite a significant beer belly. [The teeth] bespoke street fights. It took hours to get there, and it was his auntie’s welfare apartment. And he had some mannequins in the front room, and this really terrifying creature greeted me, and he was inarticulate and abrasive and just absolutely brilliant. You could just see there was just a raw talent. And you could tell he was frustrated because he felt that he wasn’t ready to be showing me things."

- Vogue's Hamish Bowles on the first time he met Alexander McQueen.

Video surfaces of John Galliano's anti-Semitic rant

2011-02-28T13:01:00.000-05:00

Things aren't looking good for John Galliano, as a video surfaced this morning showing the designer declaring, "I love Hitler."

The Dior designer was arrested in Paris Friday morning for an alleged assault in a café the previous evening. Galliano reportedly accosted a couple while under the influence of alcohol, making some anti-Semitic and racial remarks.

Galliano also allegedly pulled a woman's hair and told her she had a "dirty Jew face," and hurled racial slurs at her companion, who is of partial Asian ethnicity.

The video of Galliano's rant was posted by British tabloid the Sun this morning is said to have been filmed at the same cafe, but not on the same evening as Galliano's arrest.

In the cell-phone video, the seemingly drunk designer is seen hurling anti-Semitic insults at patrons nearby.

“I love Hitler,” he says. “People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f**king gassed.”

This video adds to the drama that escalated on the weekend, when a second police complaint was lodged against the designer.

A 48-year-old woman came forward, asserting he had subjected her to a similar tirade at the same locale on Oct. 9.

Galliano is currently suspended from Dior during the investigation of these alleged remarks.
“Dior affirms with the utmost conviction its policy of zero tolerance towards any antisemitic or racist words or behaviour…Pending the results of the inquiry, Christian Dior has suspended John Galliano from his responsibilities," the French fashion house said in an official statement.

You can watch the video below, but be warned, it is highly offensive.
