The 27 year old singer arrived in Paris at the Viktor and Rolf Autumn/Winter 2012 catwalk show wearing an all Blue outfit, complete with matching bouffant hair.

Showing her support to the designer, Perry wore an electric blue Viktor and Rolf trench coat with cut out scroll patterns on the lapels. Underneath she wore a simple black dress with blue/turquoise scroll shapes embellished all over which she then accessorised with black tights and musical note earrings.

Perry carried a ‘Pilule’ bag by Christian Louboutin, with a shoulder length gold chain and wore sultry sunglasses that covered up yet more blue in the form of her eye make-up.

What do you think of Katy Perry’s all blue outfit? Love it or think it’s a bit OTT?

The Italian fashion label has chosen the 15 year old star of Hugo, in recognition of her ‘outstanding achievements and her embodiment of style and grace,’ and she will collect her prestigious award at a ceremony in Beverly Hills on June 12th.

Traditionally, the award is given to an actress who is experiencing a turning point in her career, and it seems that is certainly the case for Moretz, who started in the industry at just seven years old, starring in films such as ‘(500) Days of Summer’ and ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid,’ and more recently ‘Let Me In’ and ‘Hugo’.

The rising young starlet has been photographed in a range of designer labels, including Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney and she looks right at home on the red carpet.

We’re not surprised that she has been awarded the ‘Face of the Future’ honour as she always looks super stylish and she has a great Hollywood acting career ahead of her, with her next movie being a leading role in The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

Designer Jean Paul Gaultier decided to take Amy Winehouse’s signature style, slightly alter it here and there and send it down the runway in a tribute to the singer. The Spring/Summer 2012 Couture collection featured Amy’s signature polo shirt style, cut up and sexed up for the catwalk, and teamed with pencil skirts, heels and the signature beehive. The polo shirts featured low-cut necklines and a ‘G’ symbol in place of the usual Fred Perry logo.

As well as the beehives, all of the models displayed Amy’s signature eye-make up look in the form of heavy eyeliner as well as her beauty spot above the top lip.

For the show’s finale, models took to the runway wearing black veils, walking alongside four males performing doo-wop versions of Winehouse’s biggest hits.

We absolutely loved the Couture collection and think it’s a great way to pay tribute to the late great Amy Winehouse.

Stylishly inspired by the Wizard of Oz, Alex Prager has created a world in the Los Angeles desert which blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Supermodel Lara Stone appears as a modern day version of Dorothy, who is spirited away into another world by a tornado.

Is it just a coincidence that the supermodel has stopped here and is taking her cases from the boot of the Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster? Or is she tempting fate and simply waiting with her cases packed to fly off into another world? Why not judge for yourself…

Diana in famous Elizabeth and David Emmanuel dress

A few of you lucky ladies (and gents!) may have gone to see Kate Middleton’s wedding dress when it was on show at Buckingham Palace. Well, imagine the worldwide hysteria that will ensue when a handful of Diana’s most famous dresses will be available for viewing in the new year. Diana was as well known for her wardrobe choices as her charity work, and even 14 years on from her death, the publicity surrounding the princess continues.

The show, simply named ‘Diana’, will be a collection of designer dresses worn by the nation’s Royal sweetheart at Kensington Palace. The exhibition will coincide with the completion of a £12 million revamp, which has seen the Royal Gardens being redeveloped for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Five dresses will be showcased, including three which haven’t been seen in public since she wore them in the 1980s.

Keen fans of Diana’s style will recognise the black, off-the-shoulder taffeta gown worn by the princess at her first official engagement, placing her on the fashion map of that time at only 19 years old. It has recently been compared to the strapless dress Kate Middleton wore at the Sun’s Military Awards this week, with both pieces featuring similar embellishments and sweetheart necklines. The Elizabeth and David Emmanuel dress has never been displayed in the UK before, although it did sell for an astonishing £192,000 last year at an auction. The designers went on to create Diana’s world famous wedding dress a few months later.

Other dresses that can be viewed include a famous Bellville Sassoon monochrome cocktail dress, a Versace LBD and gowns by Catherine Walker – all pieces that cemented her fashion-forward status and feature in much-publicised events from her life.

This isn’t the first time we’ve been able to have a glance into Diana’s wardrobe… Her wedding dress is currently on display until 3rd January at the Enchanted Palace exhibition at Kensington Palace, in which viewers can gain an insight on the seven princesses that lived there. This new ‘Diana’ collection along with the revamp is expected to bring in over 100,000 extra visitors a year.

Deirdre Murphy, the curator, has said of the venue: “As the princess’ former home, Kensington Palace is an ideal setting to showcase these gowns – the atmosphere of the display will be truly magical.”

The show will be presented against a set created by interior designer Finola Inger and opens 26th March.

Despite most children not having a bank account or any income, Versace have gone ahead and opened an entire boutique for their young fashion fans.

The boutique is decked out in refreshing lilac and white shades, with super sized candy canes as decoration to give it a ‘Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory’ feel. The boutique, which takes up one floor, stocks the Young Versace line which launched last June at the Pitti Immagine Bimbo exhibition. The boutique also stocks Swarovski Crystal and Leopard Print baby bottles as well as pretty dresses and smart suits for children.

Could high fashion for children be the next big craze? A whole host of designers, including Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry, have already launched children’s ranges and the likes of Victoria Beckham and Gwen Stefani are also busy creating children’s clothing collections, meaning 2012 could see a flurry of extremely well dressed kids.

Now, for working full time hours, you’d expect them to receive the same benefits as many of the company’s staff, but unfortunately interns are very rarely paid and often exploited, being asked to do tasks that nobody else will do and working excessive hours.

Recently, there has been a huge surge in support for Interns and ‘workies’ thanks to the likes of Intern Aware and the NUS organisations; and now the HM Revenue & Customs have deemed it neccessary to get involved.

It has been revealed that 100 British fashion houses have been warned by HM Revenue & Customs ahead of February’s London Fashion Week 2012. HMRC have said that they have received evidence of well known fashion labels exploiting interns and not paying them national minimum wage for their work.

Letters have been sent to the fashion houses, Michelle Wyer, HMRC’s assistant director for the NMW (national minimum wage) said: “These letters give fashion houses plenty of warning that they are under scrutiny. If they are not playing by the rules, now is the time to put things right. Non-payment of the national minimum wage is not an option. Our message is clear: don’t wait for us to come knocking on your door; put things right now and avoid a penalty and possible prosecution.”

Of course, the names of the British fashion houses haven’t been revealed but their is expected to be a change come the new year. Let us know if you’ve been exploited as an Intern and what you think about the issue over on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

The likes of Emma Watson and Chloe Moretz are just two celebrities who have been spotted on the Red Carpet in McQ’s tartan dress creation from the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection.

Due to it’s success McQ has announced that it will be opening it’s first ever store in London’s West End in Spring 2012. Situated on Dover Street, Mayfair, the four-storey store will join upmarket boutiques such as ACNE. And as if that wasn’t enough, they’ve also announced that they will be showcasing their first ever catwalk at London Fashion Week in February 2012, which will be an exclusive preview to the store opening.

It’s exciting times for the fashion and purse savvy label which launched in 2006 as they’ve gone from strength to strength. Compared to the grown-up Alexander McQueen line, McQ is much more affordable with prices starting from within the hundreds instead of the thousands.

February 2012 is going to be an exciting time for the designer as she will be getting ready to hold a ‘special fashion presentation’ at London Fashion Week 2012. On February 18th, a ‘one-off’ Stella McCartney collection will be shown on the runway, which coincides with the ‘World of Stella’ exhibition at Selfridges Department Store as well as the launch of a new fragrance and the opening of the second Stella McCartney store.

For years, McCartney has showcased at Paris Fashion Week, but this could be the start of something special between the designer and her birth city. With the 2012 Olympics taking place in London, we’re sure the collection will incorporate something Olympics related seeing as McCartney has been commissioned by Adidas to be the creative director of Team GB’s official kit.

We really can’t wait for LFW to come around again and we’re hugely excited for Stella McCartney’s debut and collection. We can’t wait to see what trends she’s about to set!
