Are celebrity jewellery lines the new celebrity clothing collections? We think so. There's Brad and Angelina for Asprey, the Kardashians for bebe, and now Michelle Trachtenberg for Coach. The 'Gossip Girl' actress has helped design bee-motif accessories for the company's Poppy range, with the collection's vibe described as "refined-romantic with attitude, bringing a punky look to a lush mix of materials and inspirations".
You can expect to see Michelle Trachtenberg for Poppy in Spring 2010, but a limited preview selection will launch on Dec. 1 at Coach.com. The holiday preview pieces will sell for $78 to $128, with the full collection selling for up to $328. Will you be buying?

Victoria Beckham has been one busy lady in recent months. Following the success of her clothing line and rumours of her turning her hand to model scouting (with Simon Fuller), we now hear that the designer is set to star Gossip Girl's Blake Lively as the face of her new Spring 2010 collection. We were surprised at this choice, given that it's the show's Leighton Meester who has been donning Beckham's designs in this season of Gossip Girl, in her role as Queen B, Blair Waldorf.
It seems however, that when Beckham and Lively crossed paths during New York Fashion Week in September, they are reported by the Daily Mail to have "got along famously", which explains the choice. That being said, the pint-sized mum of three has shared with UK Harper's Bazaar her desire to dress the actress-come-(Burberry) model, Emma Watson, describing her as "so sweet, so true to herself". Only time will tell which of the blonde starlets will be chosen as the Spring face, but if rumours of Beckham's upcoming guest appearance on Gossip Girl are to believed, looks like Lively's got this in the bag - well, that is, unless Harry Potter doesn't offer her a role, too?

It's official. Jean Paul Gaultier is following in the footsteps of leading designers like Anna Sui and Alexander McQueen by designing a capsule collection for Target.
The collaboration comes as a part of the retailer's Designer Collaboration series, in which the designers are made to choose a muse for their collection; Sui most recently chose 'Gossip Girl' while McQueen opted for Leila Moss. Now what for Gaultier? The Cut reports that 'Jean Paul Gaultier for Target pays tribute to the American woman, celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture'.
The collection is set to hit 250 Target stores across America and will also be available on Target.com from March 7th until April 11th.

After appearing on Ugly Betty’s “A Nice Day for a Posh Wedding”, back in 2007, and saying that she only agreed to the part because of her interest in fashion, and not for the acting opportunity, Victoria Beckham now looks set to land another role on fashion-focused American TV series, Gossip Girl. Apparently, Beckham, who is a huge fan of the series, was persuaded to make an appearance by the show’s star Blake Lively, who in turn is a huge fan of her outfits, when she and the show’s costume designer, Eric Daman, stopped by at her spring 2010 presentation in New York last month. Talk about mutual love!
A source said: “She isn't an actress and wanted her role to be very tongue-in-cheek. And an idea for her to play Brit actor Ed Westwick's long-lost mother was quickly vetoed. Victoria joked that she'd rather play his ex-love interest!" Posh will fly to New York this Wednesday and hopes to film all the scenes for her cameo appearance in a day.
