Dolce & Gabbana in Trouble

An Italian judge has refused a plea by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's lawyer to dismiss the €420 million tax evasion case against the designers.

A judge has rejected a plea by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's lawyer to throw out the tax evasion trial against the designers and several of their business associates. Instead, judge Antonella Brambilla ruled that the trial will go ahead, starting on January 30, with two further hearings scheduled for February, reports WWD .

The Italian design duo are accused of evading €420 million in tax when they sold their two brands, Dolce & Gabbana and D&G, to their own Luxembourg-based company, Gado Srl.

Dov Charney, the founder and CEO of American Apparel, has found himself at the centre of yet another lawsuit.

Charney is accused of wrongful dismissal and physical assault by Michael Bumblis, the former manager of one of the company's Miami stores. It is the latest in a number of lawsuits in which Charney has been named by former employees in recent years, many of which have accused him of sexual misconduct. All previous cases have been dismissed by the courts.

In the suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Bumblis claims that his issues with Charney began in April this year, when Charney accused him if working for a rival employee. During the verbal altercation, Bumblis claims Charney called him "a wannabe Jew," a "fag", and asked him inappropriate questions about his personal life.

Brand to watch: Ostwald Helgason

We caught up with the design duo behind Ostwald Helgason, Susanne Ostwald and Ingvar Helgason, to find out how they captured the hearts and lenses of editors and street style photographers alike.

In a jam-packed studio in Hackney Wick, overlooking the Olympic stadium, Susanne Ostwald is wiping up a tiny spillage from under my tea cup. "For Susie, everything has its place," her boyfriend and business partner Ingvar Helgason sniggers. "Getting things to fit in this studio is like a game of Tetris." Susanne readily admits her obsession with order. "I have a little bit of an OCD. If I get things fitting in perfectly in here, then I get 10 points!"

If all goes according to plan, Susanne's Tetris obsession will soon be a space-saving eccentricity of the past. Together the couple comprise Ostwald Helgason, a brand with a loyal following of fashion editors setting out to win them pavement exposure. Street style favourites Miroslava Duma and Tatler Russia editor-in-chief Anya Ziourova are frequently snapped in head-to-toe looks; bloggers Susie Bubble and Natalie Joos are also fans. Buyers have followed suit: their first order for New York boutique Fivestory sold out within 24 hours, and ASOS, Opening Ceremony, Browns Boutique and Moda Operandi have all put in orders.

Men in tights: Manly or....??

Men's tights, for so long the preserve of ballet dancers and runway models, are taking Manhattan by storm and could soon be seen on the street of Britain.

When trendsetters speculated what would be the defining men's fashion movement to sweep New York this winter, few opted for the male legging.

But "Megging", as the male legging is known, is now all the rage in sartorial circles. Celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Russell Brand and Lenny Kravitz have all been spotted wearing leggings, while fashion stores Uniqlo, Barneys and Nordstrom are selling tights for men.

The bad news is they are on their way to Britain: Uniqlo is already selling them on its British website, and their success in New York is seen as an indication they will also prove popular here.

They are expected to follow on from the trend for "skinny jeans" on men, which have become a staple of the British high street.

Some New Yorkers, however, see the "megger" as an affront to masculinity. Gabriel Cru, 35, from the Bronx, said: "Men in tights? Get out of here. We don't do men in tights in New York. That's European!"
