Of the new-retro singers, Duffy is pretty much what Mandy Moore was to the girl pop stars of the late '90s. (Amy Winehouse is Xtina, natch, and although she's a non-lipsynching musical genius, Adele has to be Britney because you always get the impression she could go a bit wild.)
Duffy went to Sweden this weekend for Stockholm's 'Where the Action Is' music festival, and she seems to be going a bit more modern with her hairstyle. Do you like her going more natural, or do you miss the beehive?

Indie-denim fave Cheap Monday has a new head designer: Ann-Sofie Back, the Swedish knitwear designer who had relocated to London for the past eight years. Her shows are always hotly anticipated at London Fashion Week, so we're sure she'll be a great pick for extending the Swedish company beyond its roots.
Back tells Rodeo magazine: "I have not even begun. But there has been much focus on jeans so far, and my task is to create a stronger identity on anything that is not denim."

Do you find yourself maxing out your credit card on designer vintage? Do you use the phrase "I die" in circumstances that do not involve your impending death? Then 'The Rachel Zoe Project' is the show for you, and it comes to the UK's Really lifestyle chanel from May 19.
Zoe says she's particularly dying over her London TV arrival because the city is "the epitome of street-chic cool". Her programme additionally is airing in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Asia, and the second season will premiere in the US later this year.
