Scarlett Johansson Goes Bare For French ELLE
Scarlett Johansson is the latest star to cover French ELLE with absolutely no make-up. Nada...zilch. The latest cover comes after the magazine received a resounding positive response from their recent makeup-less covers with Eva Herzigova and Monica Bellucci.
Does this signal a change in the magazine industry with retouching on covers? What do you think?

Battle Of The Campaigns: Victoria Vs David
Today, Armani revealed the new David Beckham underwear camapign at Selfridges. Despite the bad weather earlier this morning, women (and as many men) all left their offices to try to be amongst the first to witness the scantily clad Mr Beckham hanging on to a rope, Tarzan-style.
If viewing the huge campaign wasn't enough, Beckham was in-store on the first floor at 11 a.m. today doing meet and greets.
Last month saw Victoria, who is also the face of the underwear line, launch her latest campaign in Macy's.
Which campaign do you prefer?

Oh, Sailor: Kate and the Boys for Longchamp
Kate Moss, who has allegedly "gotten fat", doesn't seem to be too heavy for the line of service men showing her off in the new autumn/winter Longchamp ads. We think the one on the far right is being a little nosey by looking in her handbag, but hey.
In the other shot for the fall campaign, Daria Werbowy joins the mix to show off leather goods and a little cheetah.

Frassy's Twist On Trends: '80s Padded Shoulders
Balmain A/W 09/10
Realway
Runway
When the going get tough, go big - while this might not necessarily be a motto applicable to the real world, it can definetely be asserted in the sartorial sphere. When your fashion pennies are dwindling, its important to get every cent of fashion power from each garment you purchase. Spruce up any outfit with the '80s-inspired shoulder pad: They instantly pump up every ensemble with a blast from the past, one that transforms into a contemporary "wow factor". Forget designer and always thrift your shoulder pads instead - search through vintage heap piles for your own padded perfection. They sit nicely with pretty much any outfit and can be easily transformed from a day to a night look. Here, Frassy chooses a palette of pastel spring colours: pairing a quirky mint-green blazer (Vintage, London: Seven Pounds) with conventional Topshop finds. If your pockets can't plush out your style, surely a cheap pair of pads will...

Courtney Love Confirmed for Own Fashion Line
Courtney Love officially is, as her Hole lyrics would say, the girl with the most cake. Earlier reports that the singer was working on a fashion line (via Peaches Geldof's Twitter, of all things) have been confirmed by Love's rep.
It seems her line will include "cotton ribbed body suits, cashmere harem pants and a ruby stitched into every outfit". Would you wear Love's stylings?

Quote Me: Marion Cotillard Envies Kate Moss
“
She has a strong personality. And she's British – I love the British. And the way she gives life to the character she is and everything she does ... it's really something. It's not just about being pretty and wearing clothes for her. Giving your personality like that to the art of fashion is something I couldn't do.

Stella McCartney Falling into the Gap
Got a baby you need to dress? Stella McCartney can help, or rather, she'll be able to soon. The designer is contracted to create a one-off children's Gap collection, available available in select babyGap and GapKids stores later this year. Shoppers in the UK, US, Canada, France, Ireland and Japan, be thankful.
The Gap seems to be kicking up its game lately, with recent collaborations with both Alexander Wang and Vena Cava. We'd like to see an adult collaboration with Rachel Roy, please. Who would you like to bring in?

Vera Wang on 'Dancing with the Stars'?
Can you set your DVRs three months in advance? If not, mark your calendars for Sept. 21, when Vera Wang reportedly will begin competing in the ninth season of 'Dancing with the Stars'.
The deal would make sense, especially since Wang trained as a professional ice skater, competed in the 1968 US National Championships and tried out for the Olympics. Let's just say she'd be a formidable opponent. Plus, she's designed figure-skating costumes for Nancy Kerrigan and Michelle Kwan, so we know the sparkly outfits are under control!
