Speaking about his latest muse, Balenciaga Creative Director, Nicholas Ghesquière said: “Kristen embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence. From her early appearance in ‘Panic Room’ to her independent choice of ‘Welcome to the Rileys’, I’ve always sensed her progressive character. In 2006, I invited her to appear in a project shot by Bruce Weber. Since then, I’ve always wished to collaborate with her further, knowing that she shares the radical spirit of Balenciaga.”

It has been said that Kristen’s “elegant modernity and innate rebel style” is the perfect match for Balenciaga, and expressing her excitement about the new collaboration, Steward herself told WWD: “Balenciaga has always stood out to me. Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always recognized and loved Balenciaga. It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now. The brand is just cool. That’s the way it is. I feel drawn to it. It provokes on a number of levels. It isn’t afraid or contrived. It hits a very cool balance, always. Always pretty undeniable.”

We can’t wait until Kristen’s new campaign for the brand is revealed!

YSL was the first company that Blunt had said ‘yes’ to, but now it seems that she’s somewhat regretting her decision.

In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Blunt admitted that she believed YSL had made a mistake in hiring her, saying “God, I’m so un-French in that trailer,” and when asked why she thought she was approached by the company, she put herself down further by saying; “I don’t know. I’ve no idea. Perhaps ‘there was no one else? They made a mistake, a terrible mistake.”

When asked about why she accepted the role in advertising the new fragrance, she went on to say; “I think that I’ve been wanting to make sure that when I did it, it would be the right thing. I’d been asked to do a couple of things but none were as classy as this,’ she explains before adding, ‘And I got to work with a leopard. ”

We’re not sure whether Blunt is being serious when she suggests YSL has made a mistake in casting her, could she be acting a little too cool and not bothered by the prestigious role? We certainly think that YSL made the right choice casting her, but she could be the cause of her own downfall with these comments.

After her long standing relationship with the brand stretching over 10 years, she has been the true face of Rimmel so to celebrate this Kate and Rimmel have worked together to design a lipstick range which fuses Kate Moss’s urban London girl look with Rimmel’s true Britishness.

Last month, to celebrate Rimmel and Kate’s 10 year working relationship together, Rimmel organised an event to show off the new beauty line. Echoing the four minute advertisement she filmed to accompany the collection below, at the event Kate jammed with The Vaccines before stripping off, flinging on a red dress and fleeing in a helicopter.

Check out the new Rimmel advert which features Kate Moss showing of her lipstick range…

Kate’s collection was released on the 28th September, and contains seven shades – all hand-picked by Kate – packaged in chic matte black that Rimmel say represents her ‘glamorous rock’n’roll style,’ and personalised with the supermodel’s signature in vivid red.

Kate said her inspiration for this range was to create a range of easy to wear, classic shades that she has always worn and loved, so in effect it is all Kate!

She goes on to say, ‘From bright reds to soft pinks and nudes, there is a shade for everyone and any occasion. It was also really important for me that they were comfortable to wear.

‘Whatever your outfit there is sure to be a shade to match.’

Will you be buying the Kate Moss collection? With prices starting at £5.49 designed by a well known catwalk model, I will probably look to buy all the shades!

Even before setting foot inside the store, it’s apparent to visitors that Lagerfeld has very much taken over. Chanel flags are lined up across the Harrods facade, whilst for the first time in history that the store has dedicated all 23 windows to one brand. And what a window display they’ve created… Fantastical (and a little bizarre?) forests adorn the famous windows, with mystical creatures donning the A/W 2011 collection of textured tweeds and beautifully hued silks.

The first floor boasts and French fairytale world of a “misty garden” boutique, lined with white and black walls embossed with lion’s heads. Within this temporary boutique, it appears everything has been given the interlocking Cs makeover, including the classic Harrods bags, as well as limited edition Knightsbridge make-up. Luxurious shoes, bags, accessories and fine jewellery, distinguishable to the brand, can be found here.

The third floor, however, is when it gets really exciting. The “Une Promenade” has been described as an Alice-in-Wonderland-style journey into the world of Coco Chanel. Visitors are lured in through oversized pearls into a monochrome room that leads into six other exhibitions; the 2.55, a walk-through padded creation of the world-famous bag in which visitors discover the production process; the tweed room, dedicated to Chanel’s choice of fabric; an enchanted child’s playroom with Chanel inspired toys; a reconstruction of the designer’s French apartment; the library space in Lagerfeld’s studio, and a room dedicated to all Chanel’s famous symbols.

I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait to see the exhibition. As such an iconic fashion brand, it would be exciting to get that one step closer to the creative mind of Lagerfeld and life of Coco Chanel.  It opens to the public Tuesday 6 September, and lasts three weeks… will I be seeing you there?

The products will all come in a leoprint rhinestone pouch and it is no doubt that if Kate has anything to do with it then I am pretty sure her range will be a massive hit.

However, it is not the first time Kate has dabbled in the fashion business. She had unrivalled success at Topshop where she designed 14 exclusive collections for them and also designed a capsule collection for Longchamp.

A spokesperson for the company said: “Rimmel is very excited to announce our collaboration with our ambassador, Kate Moss, for a make-up range. Products and packaging are still in the final stages of production; the line is due to hit shelves in the UK in September. We plan to share more details of the launch over the coming months.”

With Kate making plans to marry her fiance on the 2nd of July, there is no doubt the model will look absolutely gorgeous and we are looking forward to seeing her dress which is rumoured to be designed by the scorned John Galliano.  However with news of her designing the make up Rimmel line, I wonder if she will be wearing it on her big day? What do you think? Do you think she will go for Rimmel or a more popular designer brand of make up like Chanel or Lancome? Leave your comments below…

Poppy believes that there is a lipstick out there for absolutely everybody, even those that aren’t lipstick fans. Poppy’s collaboration and range consists of 7 shades that each represent a single reason why every woman should wear lipstick.

‘History’ is a signature Red colour that denotes the much loved history of lipstick while ‘Power,’ is a poetic Raspberry and ‘Seduction’ is a deep wine shade. ‘Intrigue’ is a cheeky nude with a hint of pink, ‘Glamour’ is a more vivacious and flirty pink, ‘Confidence’ is a warm golden shade and finally ‘Allure’ is a healthy and girly peach.

Poppy King dug deep into the No7 archive in order to research exactly what her brand needed. She talks about the No7 brand having gone through many fashion trends but still maintaining products that are practical and wearable for the real woman. This research inspired her own collection and Poppy has created a shade of lipstick for every type of woman out there.

The collection is already available in Boots stores nationwide as well as Online at Boots.com

The collection, which will launch this month across stores and Online, will consist of eight pairs of sunglasses – two pairs created by each designer – and will offer classic, edgy, retro and outrageous designs. The range includes a bow-tie shaped pair of sunglasses, designed by Tatty Devine, which come in a retro fifties-style and red polka-dots. Beatrix Ong has designed a timeless pair of aviators and a pair of oversized frames while Eley Kishimoto’s designs include circular polka-dot glasses and white print wayfarers. Todd Lynn has designed a retro-style pair of two-toned frames as well as a pair of aviators designed with a twist.

Commenting on the collaboration, Amanda Scott, Head of Accessories and Beauty Buying at John Lewis said “This is the first time John Lewis has collaborated on a sunglasses collection and we’re thrilled to have secured such an interesting and diverse group of designers to work with us – especially since this is a first for two of them. We all know that a statement pair of sunglasses can completely change the way you feel – not to mention the way you look. Some glasses can add edge to an outfit, others add mystery or humour and others add pure unadulterated glamour. We’re hoping we’ve covered off all ‘moods’ with our new limited edition lines.”

The collection includes many must-have creations for fashion lovers all over the country. For those that like quirky and individual style, there is a pair of sunglasses to suit you.

Designer Tatty Davine commented: “When we started designing these sunglasses for John Lewis, we wanted to make them very ‘Tatty Devine’ and looked at using one of our signature designs as a source of inspiration. We wanted to make something glamorous, distinctive as well as being fun and decided to work around the idea of a bow tie. We love the way the shape has an oversized 1970′s feel, but at the same time has the essence of a cat eye lens. We also like the way that when put on top of the head, it will look like a big bow in your hair!”

Each designer’s sunglasses will have individual price tags as followed:

Tatty Devine – Polkadot £65 ; Black £65

Beatrix Ong – Aviators £85 ; Round £85

Eley Kishimoto – Round £65 ; Wayfarers £65

Todd Lynn – £85 ; £85
