New POP editor Dasha Zhukova has been quiet recently considering she has the re-launch of the magazine soon. Many are speculating that the the usually press-loving editor has been hiding away at the moment because she's expecting a child with billionaire boyfriend Roman Abramovich.

Sources close to the couple have been quick to squash rumours saying that Zhukova's stomach is 'as flat as a board'.

British hosiery brand Pretty Polly announced last Thursday that it has enlisted the help of '80s t-shirt legend Henry Holland. The cutting-edge tights collection, launched exclusively in Selfridges on Thursday 13th August, is expected to set hosiery trends this autumn.

Featuring everything from colourful prints through to suspender effects and block stripes, the tights have already become a firm favourite with personal friend Agyness Deyn. "I feel like I have found my calling with this leg wear range. I am now in love with all things hosiery," Holland said.

If we could ever sneak into someone's wedding, Katie Grand's would be one of the them.

Never one to conform, the LOVE editor didn't go for an over-the-top, big white dress. "I wore an Azzedine Alaïa brown snakeskin dress, which he tortured me for about two months to get into, but at least it's something I can wear again. I didn't want some stupid white dress; it seems like such a waste," she said.

In true Grand fashion David Waddington of London's Bistrotheque served cheese sandwiches, Marc Jacobs popped by in a helicopter and Luella Bartley was one of her bridesmaids. Jealous?

But it was not all fun and games for Grand. Straight after marrying new husband, Pulp bassist Steve Mackey, Grand was straight back to work, getting ready to release the second issue of LOVE.

Just when you thought London Fashion Week couldn't get any bigger, the British Fashion Council announce that they've managed to secure another big brand for this season's festivities.

The brand in question? Only Australian cult denim brand, Sass & Bide. "Ten years ago the concept for Sass & Bide was born in London," explained the brand's design team Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton. "To be returning here 10 years later, showing in a city that we love so much and that fuels our creativity is really exciting."

The world of music is set to brace itself as Victoria Beckham adds another string to her bow by agreeing to sit as a judge on the panel for American Idol.

The former Spice Girl, mother, wife, designer and muse, has recently added the role of panel judge to her ever expanding repertoire, having been invited by Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller, to sit as a guest judge for the popular TV show. The singer is rumoured to be replacing Paula Abdul who famously quit last month following a dispute over pay, and is said to have taken time out from designing to make a one off appearance on the show.

Having accepted the role in a bid to raise her profile stateside, Victoria will act as one of a host of other celebrities including Mary J Blige and Katy Perry, who will also be doing one off stints on the judging panel but as yet, is the only celebrity judge to have been invited to two sets of auditions.

Rumours are rife that as was the case with Cheryl Cole last month, studio execs will be putting in place focus groups to determine whether or not Victoria's accent and tiny frame will be off putting to viewers and thus detrimental to her future as a panel judge on the show or whether they will warm to her and result in high viewing ratings though only time will tell.

For now however, Victoria will hopefully be enjoying and revelling in the warm welcome she has so far received.

Times are changing in fashion and I'm not simply talking about the new A/W 09/10 catwalk trends. The last year or so has seen the fashion industry slowly welcome South and East Asian models into the fashion fold. From once being unthinkable to imagine Asian models on the runway, today their presence is felt and embraced on the catwalk from New York to Paris and London to Milan.

We always love news about LOVE, don't we? It seems the preview that hit the internet - a shot of Birmingham bass player Alex Hartley taken by David Sims - is one of the magazine's two second-issue covers. (Editor Katie Grand found Hartley online, by the way, so hopefuls: update your websites or MySpaces or whatever.) The second cover, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, who took care of the first-issue cover, stars it-girl/Sting's daughter Coco Sumner.

Both subjects are 18, and most of the issue features upcoming celebs or relative unknowns who are 21 or younger. That includes Taylor Momsen, Kristen Stewart, Allegra Beck Versace and even Miley Cyrus. Grand told WWD: "The whole issue is full of these kids, really, who are at that turning point of life when you've got no responsibilities, you're quite free and everything's exciting."

Grand also promises more text in the second issue of the mag, which now features Isaac Lock as deputy editor. "I always think visually," said Grant, "so it was really important that the words team was strengthened."

The next issue, which hits stands Aug. 24, features 296 pages, including 106 ad pages from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Prada and Chanel. That compares to 116 ad pages for the first go, though Grand promises the issue exceeded its ad targets.
