Where do we begin, to tell the story of this $#%$^ dress... Well the legs are a show-off of course, but the dress?? Hmmm....

Givenchy for H&M? RUMOR!!!

Rumours about H&M's new designer collaboration are circulating, but we won't be seeing the results anytime soon.

Swedish retailer H&M only released its line with Maison Martin Margiela less than two weeks ago, but the ever-hungry fashion rumour mill is already into overdrive as to the identity of its next collaborator.

Loved by models Miranda Kerr and Natalia Vodianova, and showcased on the red carpet by Rihanna and Cate Blanchett, the Tumblr belonging to Fashion Industry Confessions announced that a stylish union would be on the cards next year.

So guess what??? All that talk is just one big fat rumor!!

Paris Hilton angers Saudis by opening store in Mecca

Paris Hilton's fifth handbag and accessories shop in Saudi Arabia has been accused of affronting the principals of Islam, and earned her a backlash of Twitter abuse in the process.

The American socialite and hotel heiress who's Twitter is awash with optimistic, life-affirming titbits such as - "Smile, because you're beautiful... Stand strong, because haters can't bring you down" and "I love black and white photographs. They are always so timeless" - has sparked controversy in the Middle East. From the very same account.

Posting a picture of her new accessories store in Saudia Arabia's holy city of Mecca - don't worry, we weren't fully aware of this best-selling handbag line either - Paris caused a backlash of abuse from an insulted Islamic community, with some claiming it as an "affront" to the "principal sanctuary" of the religion.

Her bubbly Tweet - "Loving my beautiful new store that just opened at Mecca Mall in Saudi Arabia!" - was met with disgruntled comments such as: "Saudi claim there are other ways to allow for pilgrims, and if religiosity is of such importance, why is Paris Hilton being allowed a store in Mecca?" The first comment was merely the understated, yet powerful "R u kidding?", according to the New York Daily News .

Undeterred by "The world is a corrupt place at the moment. Someone please send me to Mars" comments, the 31-year-old quietly reminded the Twitter sphere that this is her fifth store in Saudi Arabia alone, and number 42 in total.

J. Lo Gets Woman Fired for Seeking an Autograph??!!

J. Lo says the hotel maid was not fired for that, Tweeting, "Would never get anyone fired over an autograph. 1st I heard of this was on twitter. #hurtful."

E! News says the employee in question, Pray Dodaj, wasn't fired but was transferred to another hotel.

Dodaj allegedly wasn't seeking an autograph, but entered the room unannounced early one morning.

J.Lo's security team, obviously concerned that a stranger showed up, notified the hotel management.

Lopez was reportedly staying at the Breidenbacher Hof hotel in Dusseldorf, Germany, at the time.

Her rep adds, "Jennifer is having a great time on her world tour traveling with her twins and mom."

"Jennifer always goes out of her way to meet and greet fans as evidenced by her recent twitter @tweet2meet engagements, as well as stopping to sign autographs and say hello to hotel staff."

Between this and Jennifer Lopez nip slip action, there's never a dull moment on her tour.

Lady Gaga costumes go under the hammer

Julien's Auctions are set to sell four unique items created especially for Lady Gaga, and one even includes a spot of the singer's blood.

Lady Gaga superfans can now get their hands on a piece of their idol's vast wardrobe - if their pockets are deep enough.

Julien's Auctions , the Beverley Hills-based auction house that specialises in entertainment memorabilia, are set to put four unique creations worn by Lady Gaga under the hammer on December 1.

The priciest of the Gaga lot, which is part of the 'Icons & Idols' auction, is the 'Ecstasy' dress, designed by Istituto Marangoni-graduate Eddie Gavriilidis. With a starting price of $5,000 (£3128), the gown is expected to sell for $10,000 to $12,000. It even has a speck of the pop star's blood on it from where she was accidentally cut on the arm by an overzealous fan whilst wearing it.

Other items include a clear rubber mask worn by the star in the Showstudio short film 'Manifesto of Little Monsters'; a second mask formed of rusty nuts, bolts and washers created by Keko Hainswheeler and worn by Gaga in the video for 'Bad Romace', as well as an extravagant 20-inch-high headpiece that was commissioned for her Monster Ball tour. Both the rubber mask and headpiece were designed by Franc Fernandez, the deigner respoinsible for Gaga's now-infamous meat dress.

Other items in the Rock n' Roll' section of the auction include Madonna's black bouffant dress worn by the mega-star for LIFE Magazine shoot with photographer Bruce Weber, and pieces belonging to the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen and Dolly Parton.

Lady Gaga 'The Naked Truth' on Vogue Hommes Japan

Fashion director Nicola Formichetti has announced that the autumn/winter 2012 issue of Vogue Hommes Japan will be the last.

Men's style bible Vogue Hommes Japan will cease publication following its autumn/winter 2012 issue.

The magazine was launched in September 2008 as the Japanese counterpart to the long-running and highly-respected L'Uomo Vogue , the Italian Vogue for men.

Fashion director Nicola Formichetti - who is also the creative director of fashion house Mugler, a long-time collaborator of singer Lady Gaga's and the fashion director of high street store Uniqlo - announced the news via his Tumblr page yesterday.

In a short statement he said publishers Condé Nast had decided to switch "its men's publication globally from Vogue to GQ Style ." He added, "I loved the issues we made together. Each issue was a chance to collaborate with the best creatives in the world. Our goal was to push the boundaries of fashion and oh boy did we take it there!!"

Formichetti also hinted that he is set to pursue a new print venture with two of his colleagues from Vogue Hommes Japan . "In this digital world, I still love making magazines," he said.

The Chinese, Brazilian and US editions of the publication met a similar fate, with all folding within five years of their launch.

Kate Moss: I suffered a nervous breakdown at 17

Kate Moss said ex-boyfriend Johnny Depp advised her to 'never complain, never explain' - but now she's telling all about heroin chic, heartbreak and her teenage nervous breakdown.

Kate Moss suffered a nervous breakdown due to the pressures of modelling and cried for "years and years" after splitting up with Johnny Depp, she has admitted in her most revealing interview.

The usually reticent Moss opened up to Vanity Fair magazine about her struggles to cope with life in the industry.

Scouted at 14, she made her breakthrough with a Corinne Day shoot for The Face but found the whole thing excruciating.

"I see a 16-year-old now, and to ask her to take her clothes off would feel really weird. But they were like, 'If you don't do it, then we're not going to book you again'. So I'd lock myself in the toilet and cry and then come out and do it," she said.

Moss became a global star in 1992 when she appeared with Mark Wahlberg in a Calvin Klein campaign shot by Herb Ritts, but the experience pushed her over the edge.

"I had a nervous breakdown when I was 17 or 18, when I had to go and work with Marky Mark and Herb Ritts," Moss said.

"It didn't feel like me at all. I felt really bad straddling this buff guy. I didn't like it.

"I couldn't get out of bed for two weeks. I thought I was going to die. I went to the doctor and he said, 'I'll give you some Valium,' and Francesca Sorrenti [Moss's friend and mother of Mario Sorrenti], thank God, said, 'You're not taking that'.

"It was just anxiety. Nobody takes care of you mentally. There's a massive pressure to do what you have to do.

"I was really little, and I was going to work with Steven Meisel. It was just really weird - a stretch limo coming to pick you up from work. I didn't like it. But it was work and I had to do it."

Moss said she felt secure only when she met Hollywood actor Johnny Depp. The couple got together in 1994 but split in 1998, and Moss was left heartbroken.

She told the magazine: "There's nobody that's ever really been able to take care of me. Johnny did for a bit. I believed what he said. Like if I said, 'What do I do?' - he'd tell me. And that's what I missed when I left. I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust.

"Nightmare. Years and years of crying. Oh, the tears..."

Moss, 38, became the poster girl for 'heroin chic' in the 1990s, a tag she struggled to shift.

She denied ever taking the drug and said her waif-like appearance was down to a lack of food. "At that time I was staying at a B&B in Milan, and you'd get home from work and there was no food. You'd get to work in the morning, there was no food.

"Nobody took you out for lunch when I started. Carla Bruni took me out for lunch once. She was really nice. Otherwise, you don't get fed."

Her reputation as a party girl has endured, but Moss insisted she has calmed down and now enjoys quiet nights in with her husband Jamie Hince and daughter Lila.

She said: "I don't really go to clubs any more. I'm actually quite settled. Living in Highgate with my dog and my husband and daughter. I'm not a hell-raiser."

The interview coincides with publication of Kate: The Kate Moss Book , a retrospective of her career in which she is quoted as saying: "I was lucky to be with Johnny... he taught me a lot about fame.

"He told me 'never complain, never explain'. That's why I don't use Twitter and things like that. I don't want people to know what is true all the time and that's what keeps the mystery."

Moss also reveals how the constant paparazzi culture has defined her style, which sees her mainly opt for grey or black clothes. "If you do a different look every day, they're going to be waiting for the next look, and then it's a paparazzi shot. Whereas if you just wear the same thing, then they get bored and leave you alone."

Heidi Klum goes BearFaced for Children in Need

Rankin has photographed supermodel Heidi Klum and a host of other celebrities make-up free in aid of Children in Need's new initiative, 'BearFaced Day'.

Heidi Klum has proved exactly why she's a supermodel by wiping off the make-up and revealing her natural beauty, all in aid of Children in Need.

Klum, 39, along with other famous faces such as Louise Redknapp and Caroline Flack, was shot barefaced but for a Pudsey paw print by renowned photographer Rankin to raise awareness of the charity's brand new initiative 'BearFaced Day', which will take place on Friday November 9.

The charity wants women across the UK to go without make-up to help raise money for disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

But Heidi's not the only fashion name to get involved in Children in Need - a whole host of designers have given the charity's much-loved mascot Pudsey a high-fashion makeover . All of the designer bears will be auctioned off, with all proceeds going to Children in Need.

Beyonce 'Barely Spoke To Kim Kardashian' At Festival

Kim Kardashian might be 'desperate' to get to know Beyonce and get into her inner circle, but her plans aren't quite working out as Beyonce seemed to pretty much ignore her on Saturday night.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star attended the Made In America festival in Philadelphia this weekend, as did Beyonce, as the ladies were both there to support their men Jay-Z and Kanye West, but Beyonce “didn't even acknowledge” Kim until the end, according to a new report.

“Kim and Beyonce barely spoke to each other,” a source told Confidenti@l, before adding: “They were on opposite sides of the stage. Beyonce didn’t even acknowledge [Kardashian] was there until the concert was almost over.”

Kanye was one of Jay-Z's special guests during his performance at the festival, and is not only one of the '99 Problems' rapper's best pals, but he's also reportedly Blue Ivy's godfather.

But according to the source, it wasn't just Beyonce who went cold, as they said: “(Kardashian) didn’t make any efforts to go speak to Beyonce either,” the source explained, revealing that the 31-year-old spent a lot of time with her buddy Jonathan Cheban and Kanye.

Kim was allegedly 'uncomfortable” when the pair “made small talk in the dressing room, but you could tell Kim was uncomfortable. She clung onto Kanye the entire time and didn't say much,” the source revealed.

They also added: “(Kardashian) was talking to Jonathan, and Kanye was talking to Jay-Z and Beyonce.”

Kim did praise Jay-Z for his set, but it sounds as if he had food on his mind.

There's been rumours of the girl's tense friendship for awhile now with B reportedly slamming Kim for trying to "buy her friendship" after the reality star gave Beyonce's daughter an expensive bracelet back in July.

The insider has revealed that Beyonce called on chef Anthony DiRienzo from STARR Restaurants (Buddakkan, Morimoto) to prepare her meals, which allegedly included a chicken quesadilla with no cheese and watermelon tomato salad.

They loved the nosh so much that they ordered some take-away meals for their private jet on Sunday.

Kate Moss and George Michael take their friendship to the cover of Vogue Paris

Neighbours, friends, and now cover stars. Kate Moss and BFF George Michael land the October 2012 cover of Vogue Paris.

George and Kate, sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Well, probably not the last bit, but the celebrity pair - who are also neighbours in London's chi-chi Highgate Village, really do seem to be the best of friends at the moment.

After Moss moaned that being left out of Michael's Freedom 90 supermodel video was her greatest career regret, Michael promptly made amends by giving Croydon's finest a starring role in his latest single 'White Light' in which she flips a coin to decide the singer's fate.

George later told Magic FM that he chose Kate because she reminds him of his late mum, who the singer was extremely close to. "Every boy who has lost their mum thinks his mum was the most beautiful woman in the world. Why not ask someone who is considered the most beautiful woman in the world in many ways to be that figure?" Welling up here already…

Now the pair have had their love-in committed to fashion history thanks to a Vogue Paris cover and spread shot by renowned photographer, Mario Testino.

We haven't had a peek between the sheets yet, and the cover line 'The pop star falls for the top model, by Mario Testino' doesn't give much away, but this much we do know: A bronzed and bearded George looks in fine fettle after his brush with death last year, and is busting an altogether much more acceptable outfit than the world of leather festival he showed up in at the Olympics Closing Ceremony, while Moss still scrubs up well for the camera (though we would LOVE to get a glimpse of the re-touching bill).

London Fashion Week: Tom Ford spring/summer 2013

Chastity and perversity are the twin themes of Tom Ford's spring/summer 2013 collection.

Tom Ford's style certainly polarises opinion these days, between those who find it backward looking and those who regard it as classic. The vote splits as soon as you're ushered through Ford HQ in Victoria and into the lifts by the same breed of chisel-jawed, side parted, uncannily smooth haired flunkies as the ones who used to line the route to the Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent shows a decade ago. All of them, it turns out, hired for the day from a model agency.

Some like the intimacy and the wink to the past (or maybe it's more of a mugging). Others, not so much. "A good journalist friend told me to quit talking at these things," Ford confessed, as he tapped away on his iPad, cueing up the models and controlling the soundtrack.

Naturally being Ford, it wasn't an entirely wordless affair, which is a good thing. The banter is what personalises these presentations. Two words in particular couldn't be dispensed with. "Chastity and perversity," he explained, were the twin themes of this collection.

Chastity came in the guise of camel cashmere sweaters, taupe skirts and long high necked black paper taffeta column dresses; perversity showed up in the form of black patent zip pencil skirts, caped backs, and the multi buckled leather strap, bondage sandal-boots.

There were plenty of what have become classic Ford tropes: backless black fitted chiffon dresses with cupped breasts (very 50 Shades of Grey ) and long, slashed, beaded skirts and skinny pants, updated this time thanks to an injection of sportiness.

Karl Lagerfeld offers his view on ‘sexy’ Carole Middleton

While Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld is no great fan of Pippa Middleton, he thinks her mother is 'very sexy'.

While Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld is no great fan of Pippa Middleton, he thinks her mother is 'very sexy'.

While we all know what Karl Lagerfeld makes of the Duchess of Cambridge's sister Pippa Middleton - he famously remarked that she "should show only her back" - he has much admiration for her 57-year-old mother Carole.

"I think Carole is very sexy" he told Grazia. "I think the mother is sexier than the daughters. There is something full of life about her. For a woman who must be 50 or so, I think she's great. She's full of energy."

Not so full of praise: Pippa Middleton. Photo: Getty

The spotlight was on mother of the bride Carole at last year's royal wedding, where she looked elegant amid the royal guests in a powder blue creation by Catherine Walker and especially trim thanks to a rumoured stint on the high-protein Dukan diet.

Duchess Kate and Carole are even known to share clothes, with Kate recently borrowing a royal blue dress by Reiss from her mother's wardrobe for a public outing.

"I Love Kate Middleton" added Lagerfeld. "Kate can try anything. For make-up, she has no limits."

The multi-tasking designer also tried to explain the venomous comments he made towards 28-year-old Pippa. "I only meant I don't think her make-up is right," he said, adding: "she has a roundish face and round eyes and should pick another make-up for the eyes." However he did conclude with: "Her sister's more beautiful."

Did Chris Brown get a tattoo of Rihanna's battered face?

Just when we thought naff rapper Chris Brown couldn't get any more offensive (his crimes against fashion are enough to pique our gag reflexes let alone his prosecution for beating up ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009), the utter moron has lowered even his own critically depleted standards.

Brown recently unveiled his new 'ink', a charming tattoo adorning his neck.

Now, what would be the most brainless thing you could get permanently etched on your neck if you were a convicted abuser. Hmm, let's see… how about a picture of a battered woman's face? Not just any woman though, not controversial enough. How about one that looks just like the image of Rihanna's swollen face that hit the internet in the aftermath of the attack which left her with a split lip and bruised eyes? Genius!

Despite inexplicably managing to rebuild his career since his conviction, (one which as far as we can detect is built on instantly forgettable nonsense), clocking up number one singles and albums and even the odd Grammy Award along the way, Brown still seems intent upon making the whole world continue to hate him.

He, of course, denies that the tattoo is Rihanna telling TMZ that it's just a "random woman", while his tattoo artist Peter Koskela told EW.com that the image was inspired by a M.A.C cosmetics design of a skull associated with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead (see, moronic) which Brown asked him to convert to a tattoo.

Tom Ford's Advice for Gisele When She Stops Being Hot

Tom Brady covers VMAN‘s fall issue–and while the accompanying interview and editorial focus on New Englands Patriot quarterback and his growing family with supermodel wife Gisele, it’s what Brady’s interviewer Tom Ford had to say that really caught our attention.

While the two Toms are discussing Gisele’s work as a model, Ford says, “[Modeling] is a horrible job. I feel really sorry for models. I’m serious. It’s a horrible job. They get rejected and treated like they’re not even people.” Ford is not one to sugarcoat.

But wait, there’s more!

Ford then offered up some nice and encouraging advice to Brady’s 32-year-old supermodel (and officially pregnant!) wife:

“This sounds negative, but when you’re considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, it’s very, very hard when that starts to slip away. It’s hard to feel good about yourself when people react to you differently. And, Gisele, I hope you’re not reading this, because it’s going to sound so negative but I know through some of my best friends who are really famous actresses–I’m not going to mention their names–who were at one point considered to be among the most beautiful women in the world at different periods of time, and how hard it is for them emotionally. So I hope Gisele is prepared for that, because it’s so difficult.”

And, just for fun, here is one of the more awkward moments in the interview:

Brady: By the way, how many times?

Ford: Say that again?

Brady: How many times have you worked with [Gisele].

Ford: Oh God! I thought you meant how many times did I sleep with her. I was about to say ‘Never.’ You sounded so tough.

USD 18 Million of fake Louboutins seized

Christian Louboutin is the latest high fashion designer to fall victim to Chinese counterfeiters as millions of pounds worth of fake Louboutins are seized by US customs.

More than 20,000 pairs of counterfeit Christian Louboutin shoes have been seized by customs at the Los Angeles/Long Beach seaport complex. It is thought that the shoes were destined for sale through one of the many websites that sell fake designer goods.

The haul, which arrived in the US from China, was split into five separate shipments - four of which were seized on Tuesday, with the fifth being seized late last month, revealed Jaime Ruiz, spokesman for US Customs and Border Protection, in a statement regarding the situation.

Mr Ruiz stated that the 20,457 pairs of shoes, all of which bared Louboutin's trademark red sole, had an "estimated manufacturer's suggested retail price" of $18 million.

"Worn by celebrities and royalty in the fashion world, the lacquered red sole in (the) shoes is a distinctive symbol of the famous French designer Christian Louboutin," he commented further. "However, US Customs and Border Protection specialists have a different view of the lacquered red sole. They see a trademark protected by US law."

The shoes, which are said to be "very good counterfeits", will most likely be destroyed.

The shoe brand is just one of many high-fashion brands that suffer from widespread counterfeiting. Earlier this year, Hermès and Burberry were both awarded £63 million in damages in separate cases against websites selling counterfeit goods illegally bearing their brand names.

Christian Louboutin is also currently embroiled in two separate legal battles with Yves Saint Laurent and high-street store Zara , both of whom sold shoes featuring a red sole. Louboutin argue that the use of a red sole could cause confusion, mistake and deception among the relevant purchasing public as to the origin of the infringing footwear.

NIVEA says "NO" to Rihanna

Pop singer Rihanna's sexy image is clashing with her role as a Nivea spokesmodel, according to the brand's new CEO.

Bajan pop singer Rihanna's wild lifestyle has cost her a lucrative modelling deal with skincare brand Nivea.

In an interview with German newspaper Welt , Nivea's new CEO, Stefan Heidenreich, aired his concern about the role the 24-year-old played in modelling for the brand.

"Rihanna is a no go... I do not understand how to bring the core brand of Nivea in conjunction with Rihanna" he said, explaining: "Nivea is a company which stands for trust, family and reliability."

Rihanna was chosen to front Nivea's 100th birthday campaign last year, and a head and half-body shot of her featured upon limited-edition tins of the body cream.

The singer, who was famously told to cover up and "find god" by a farmer in Northern Ireland whilst filming a music video on his land, has been admitted to hospital twice this year for treatment rumoured to be related to dehydration and exhaustion.

Rihanna responded by tweeting a picture of Heidenreich captioned: "No caption necessary".

Looks like Heidenreich, who has tasked himself with reviving Nivea's fortunes and creating a new company logo, will have to do it without the help of one of the most famous women on the planet.

Karl Lagerfeld: Choupette is 'the one'

Karl Lagerfeld wears cat ears in a shoot accompanying yet another interview about his pampered pet cat Choupette.

You know what they say - after a while owners start to look like their pets, well it appears that even world-famous fashion designers aren't exempt from the rule.

arl Lagerfeld has appeared in the American edition of Harper's Bazaar donning some cat ears as he shows off his beloved cat Choupette.

Choupette - or Princess Choupette as Karl told i-D he preferred to call her - has caused quite a storm since she became the apple of Karl's eye and it was revealed she had two maids of her own and, bizarrely, knew how to use an iPad.

Poor Choupette had been poorly during the night before Lagerfeld's interview with Harper's , but don't panic, the doctor was called and she was soon on the mend. "She had eaten something she wasn't supposed to eat. They had changed her food because she's grown-up now, and the food was not right yet.," said Karl.

Or maybe one of her two maids , Francois and Marjorie, had messed up her usual dinner routine and she simply couldn't stomach it: "She goes in the kitchen and sits in front of the food. She doesn't like to eat on the floor, so I have to put the food on the table. Her dishes are by Goyard. She has one for water, one for her little croquette, and one for her pâté. You have to serve everything, and she makes a choice."

Kim Kardashian Facebooks Photo of Kendall Jenner Topless

So, Kendall Jenner wants to be the next Gisele Bundchen? This is one way to start.

Kim Kardashian has posted a photo of her half-sister to Facebook, a rather provocative photo at that, as Kim's 10.5 million followers are now privy to an image of Kendall appearing to be topless.

Jenner, of course, has made no secret of her desire to be a rich and famous model. She took some heat for posing in a string bikini at 14.

But at least that counts as clothing of some kind!

Clint Eastwood's daughter under fire after destroying a $100,000 Hermes Birkin handbag

Francesca Eastwood and her photographer boyfriend Tyler Shields in Twitter and Facebook storm after setting fire to a crocodile Hermès Birkin bag in the name of art.

As the daughter of one of Hollywood's most prolific actor/directors, and star of realty TV show Mrs. Eastwood & Company chronicling the lives of her extended family, Francesca Eastwood is well used to being in the eye of the storm.

But Clint Eastwood's 18-year-old daughter is on the receiving end of vicious public outcry after a photographic stunt with her artist boyfriend Tyler Shields backfired.

Eastwood and Shields - known for his work with video portraits and celebrity photography - decided to publicly demolish a $100,000 crocodile Hermès Birkin bag by setting it on fire before taking a chainsaw to it, all in the name of art.

The results of the project can be seen on Shields' website, and were featured in Mrs. Eastwood & Company with Francesca's step-mother Dina expressing her disgust at the fact that her she even owned a bag worth so much and stating that she does not understand the true value of money.

And it seems Dina is not the only one horrified by the stunt - angry viewers have taken to Francesa's Twitter and Facebook pages to express their anger, TMZ report.

"Some of us actually have to work and live check 2 check, spoiled rotten b***h to burn 100k bag" wrote one angry viewer.

"Wow.... The $100k wasted on this pointless shoot could of been used to benefit a number of charities or ppl in real need. Just crazy," another said.

These comments are on the tame end of the spectrum, with other more vitriolic account holders going so far as to suggest that Francesca should kill herself.

For her part, Francesca is so far unfazed by the reaction with sources close to her telling TMZ she knew people would be shocked, but that they just don't understand art.
