 Kate Moss will no longer work with Topshop following the end of their partnership. She ended the venture even though she has reportedly earned millions from the business relationship. According to several sources, she will be replaced by Chloe Green, the daughter of billionaire Sir Philip Green. Kate Moss’ collection for autumn/winter will be the last that she will design for the fashion retailer.
Chloe Green has started a traineeship with Topshop, and she is reportedly looking to “launch her own clothing range”. Still, Ms Moss and Sir Green have stated that the split was good-natured. According to sources, Ms Moss would like to pursue other opportunities, and it was taking large amounts of time to put her collections together. However, she may work with other fashion ranges in the future.
Sir Green has said that it has been “fantastic” working with her, but that Ms. Moss has “other commitments” and will not be able to do this work for any longer. From the partnership, Ms Moss has made over £3 million, and Topshop has also made very large sums of money. Despite her rumoured use of cocaine, Sir Green signed Kate Moss following a charity auction event where he purchased a kiss from the model.
With the model’s collections, Topshop has received attention for several large publicity stunts, including one where Ms Moss posed as a mannequin at the retailer’s London store back in 2007. Topshop has over 400 stores worldwide.

 Rumour has it that Victoria Beckham will not lend out dresses from her fashion collection for Cheryl Cole to wear.
Cole is rumoured to be working on her upcoming season of X Factor wardrobe with some top UK stylists so that she can win the ‘frock-offs’ that she playfully has every week with Dannii Minogue. After seeing Nicole Scherzinger in a host of Beckham gowns last season Cole was said to want a few of the gowns for herself over the next few winter months.
However, the Beckham label it seems does not want to lend Cheryl the dresses because any celebrities that have been photographed in her gowns have all made a full purchase of them first.
An insider from the fashion range stated that they never loan dresses to celebrities, and although some will call to ask if they can borrow a dress they will say no. The insider also mentioned that sometimes stores such as Harvey Nichols or Selfridges will loan them out to a celebrity via their stylist, the label never does especially for anyone.
An inside source from X Factor also spoke out saying that Cole’s style team did make a few enquires about if they could get a few Beckham gowns but were told there was no way this was possible.
Cole is now said to be looking at gowns from Roberto Cavalli, Matthew Williamson, Chaneland, and Vivienne Westwood along with a few from fashion’s upcoming big names such as Hannah Marshall.
Paris Hilton is being sued, again. This time hair extension company HairTech International is suing Hilton for breaching her $3.5 million contract. Hilton was recruited by HairTech to promote their hair extensions but the socialite was discovered wearing a rival brand of extensions in public, which was more than a little embarrassing for the company.
Hilton had already received the $3.5 million endorsement fee from the company when she broke the rules of her contract according to HairTech. HairTech have filed a suit claiming $35 million in damages for Hilton’s breach of contract.
The company claims they lost over $6 million when Hilton didn’t attend the products launch party because Hilton was serving a jail sentence for a DUI. The company lost numerous opportunities when hundreds of potential clients backed out of the launch party.
The company claims her misdemeanor damaged their brand and breached the part of her contract that said she wasn’t to break the law. The company is suing Hilton for unjust enrichment, fraud and deceit and breach of contract. The lawsuit also involves Hilton’s father Rick Hilton and her company Paris Hilton Enterprises.
 The beauty of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter books could only be reproduced in film by one astounding actress, and that is Emma Watson. These days, Emma is now advocating a new sense of fashion to teenagers. This fashion is unlike the trendy ones we find in television or in magazines. Rather, it is fashion derived from clothes created in the world’s poorest nations.
Her latest collection will be unveiled in England at Clarence House, which is the London home of the Prince of Wales. This collection boasts strict compliance with the environmental guidelines and Fairtrade. According to fashion experts, Emma Watson is a huge influence on young women today. At the very young age of 20, she is highly regarded as a fashion icon.
Watson enjoys creating clothes for people her age and people likewise enjoy purchasing these. The founder of People Tree, Safia Minney, has mentioned that having Emma Watson as a model brings lots of customers in.
Emma’s previous collection is going to on sale this coming Wednesday. She says that she was not entirely involved in the design of this collection but played a large part in picking some Fairtrade textiles. She also recommends one particular dress, a black satin tulip dress which she says befits any occasion.
The irony of all this is that People Tree is known to propagate affordable items which cost as little as £20 while Emma Watson is a known fan of upscale fashion and haute couture.
Emma Watson has recently garnered attention due to her recent haircut. She got rid of the curls which branded her as Hermione and now enjoys a pixie style cut.

 It is not enough to just be a rock star anymore, as almost every rock star and pop star branches out into other ventures. Thus it should come as no surprise that lead singer for Maroon 5, Adam Levine, has decided to pursue a fashion line.
Levine will launch his new line called 222 in Las Vegas at the end of this week. He is not the first to consider fashion as a side career, as many others have done the same before him including P Diddy, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, and Madonna have as well.
Levine already established his fashion sense as he rose to fame dressed in Yves Saint Laurent suits and plenty of other designer labels. Given this fact, it may be surprising to learn that his first fashion collection is going to be on the simple side offering up leather jackets, t-shirts, and jeans.
He also plans to release a women’s line that offers knitted tops, silk dresses, and wraps.
The price tags range in price from $30 for a t-shirt and up to a whopping $1,250 for the biker jacket made out of leather.
The collection offers women 50 choices and men 25 choices.
Levine commented that he is very fashion passionate and that he believes that the clothes you choose to wear say a lot about you as a person.
He also has a unique background as his father opened a chain of boutique stores in LA titled M Frederic thirty years ago.
 One of the most exciting seasons for women who like to show off their fabulous bodies is summer given the fact that it is the only time of year when it is socially acceptable to strip down to very little while tanning or bathing on the beach.
Regardless of whether you are on holiday or simply heading out into the garden for a little sun, the warm summer sunshine offers you the chance to wear swimsuits and bikinis that show a little skin or a lot of skin depending on what your personal comfort level and style is.
Despite this excitement, for some women shopping for women’s swimwear can be a nightmare because they are unsure of what type of swimsuit will show off their body the best and what trends are in at the moment that demands to be followed.
After all, when the point of the season is to show off what nature gave you, choosing the wrong swimsuit and becoming a fashion victim is self-defeating. This is why taking a moment to look over the latest trends in women’s swimwear is necessary before purchasing any new swimwear for the beach or an impending holiday.
This year graphic prints are very popular on all types of swimsuits from one piece suits to bikinis. In the same way that large colourful prints have been dominating the dress and gown market, this is also a great style to shop for when it comes to beach cover-ups.
For those that are used to dressing in more neutral professional tones, this is the year to experience the vibrant colours of the beach that are emulating in many of the hottest swimwear styles. Therefore, the more colour on your suit the better the finishing result. Plus, as a bonus sharp, bright colours will help bring attention to you, which is after all the point of dressing your best while out in the sun.
In terms of style trends, cut-outs are very popular this year. Designers have included a variety of cut-outs in all locations this year in order to create more sultry asymmetrical suits that draw the eye. For those that may not be as comfortable with this overt display of sexuality, there are also many chic and modest cut-outs that offer solutions to those that want to show a little skin but not so much that they are uncomfortable while on the beach.

It’s a very effective way for the Imagine Appeal to fundraise because they’re not asking for money they’re asking for something you no longer wear that’s probably at the back of your wardrobe!”
