Beckham mania swept through London as the news spread that the man himself would be appearing at the Regent Street store in London. Of course, the news was only released shortly before 4pm via the H&M Twitter account, but hundreds were able to flock to the store at short notice.

The flagship H&M store featured large window displays of Beckham and several silver mannequins wearing nothing other than a pair of boxer shorts. David Beckham himself wrapped up for the cold weather in a chunky cream cardigan, stonewashed jeans and boots. Talking about the new range, which features vests, briefs, T-shirts and pyjamas for men, the football player turned fashion designer said: “I always want to challenge myself and this was such a rewarding experience for me. I’m very happy with the end result and I hope H&M’s male customers will be as excited as I am.”

The range is now available in store worldwide and online at HM.com

Originally the famous dress was made from a simple towel by Geri’s sister, Karen, and after it was spotted on Ginger Spice, the Union Jack was instantly back in fashion and the original sold for a staggering £41,320 at auction.

With Geri Halliwell having her own range at Next, it was the obvious choice of partner for the collaboration and the perfect year to do it, with 2012 being the year for London thanks to the Olympics. The new all-over sequin creation is a tad longer in length and features a sophisticated cowl neckline.

In a statement, the singer turned model/fashion designer said: “The Union Jack dress was my favourite stage outfit and with everything that is happening this year such as the Olympics and the Jubilee it just felt the right time to design an updated version of the dress for my range with Next.”

The redesigned dress will go on sale from March at Next.co.uk for £199.

H&M have really gone to town on the designer collaborations recently, even teaming up with one of the biggest labels in the world, Versace, for two extremely popular collections.

With the Marni for H&M collection launching on March 8th 2012, it has now been revealed that Jane Eyre actress Imogen Poots stars as the face of the advertising campaign, set to launch on February 18th. The shoot took place in the gorgeous Marrakech and the latest leaked image from the campaign, shot by Sofia Coppola, shows Poots in metallic print trousers and matching Peter Pan collar top, taken from the new collection.

Poots is the perfect choice for the campaign images and this isn’t her first time in front of the camera as she has previously modelled for Chloe as the face of their fragrance. The leaked campaign image is a lovely little taster of the collection to come, which can be expected to include lots of strong prints and colours that are intended to be worn together in a clashing way.

Launching on March 8th, the collection will be available in 260 stores worldwide and online.

The Glee actress has taken over from previous teen star Vanessa Hudgens and poses in the brand’s new Spring 2012 campaign. Talking to PEOPLE about the new collaboration with Candies, the actress couldn’t contain her excitement, saying; “It’s amazing, such an honor. Candie’s is such an iconic brand. The apparel is so adorable as well as affordable — and who doesn’t love that?”

The new campaign is titled ‘Hangin At Home’ and sees Lea Michele doing just that in a variety of relaxed, comfortable and colourful images. The photoshoot took place in a private residence in Beverly Hills and was shot by photographer Yu Tsai.

Talking of their choice of actress for the campaign, Iconix chief marketing officer Dari Marder said: “Everyone is obsessed with Glee, especially Lea Michele, and so are we. Although for Michele, the fun of the campaign is putting her Glee-ful side away.”

The campaign will officially launch in March 2012, with images appearing in top magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Seventeen and Teen Vogue.

The sister team were at the helm of the label for six years and were the main designers of the label’s collections. They originally launched the company in conjunction with Pepe Jeans and Spanish entrepreneur Carlos Ortega, but the reason behind the sister’s leaving has not been fully revealed, leading many to speculate that it is to do with Sienna’s pregnancy and her wanting to concentrate on being a mother.

WWD.com revealed the news first, quoting the sister’s as saying; “We’ve had a brilliant six years at Twenty8Twelve and are now looking forward to new pastures,” the Miller sisters said in a statement. “We wish the brand the best of luck for the future.”

Despite Sienna and Savannah leaving the label, it will continue as ‘Twenty8Twelve London’ instead of the original ‘Twenty8Twelve by s. miller’ name. They will also be showing their new Autumn/Winter 2012 collection at the forthcoming London Fashion Week by designers Vanessa James and Elsa Elphick who were a part of the original design team alongside the sisters.

With new collections and ventures comes a much needed advertising campaign and Cindy Crawford’s 10 year old daughter, Kaia Gerber, is the first face to represent the Young Versace brand. Kaia was cast to model the Spring/Summer 2012 collection and poses in items emblazoned with the brand’s Medusa head and Greek key motif.

Although her first modelling assignment, Kaia is quite obviously a natural and her famous mother was on set to lend a helping hand. “Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift. The camera really, really loves her. Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother’s footsteps,” said Donatella Versace of her latest muse.

Merino’s ‘No Finer Feeling™’ Campaign is a five year global fibre education campaign which aims to inform consumers about the benefits and attributes of Merino wool. Although Merino wool is a favoured fibre amongst designers; the growth of disposable fashion has meant that younger consumers know little about its benefits, which this campaign aims to address by positioning Merino as the premium, luxury fibre of choice.

Merino’s luxury wool is elegant and soft to the touch, finer and lighter than ever thought possible and will make you feel a million dollars. The wool is natural, biodegradable and renewable as natural fibres are being preferenced over man-made fibres as people become more environmentally aware.

It’s important for today’s youth and society to understand the benefits of wool and in particular Merino. With their ‘No Finer Feeling™’ Campaign and campaign video (people), Merino are hoping to educate and entice fashion lovers into the world of luxury fibre.

The likes of Warehouse, French Connection, LK Bennett, Zara, Topshop and Reiss have all benefited from the ‘Kate effect’ this year after she was spotted wearing their clothing on a number of occasions. The Duchess has also made no secret of her love for Reiss and LK Bennett as she has been spotted in these brands time after time, even choosing them for official Royal engagement photographs and appearances.

Before Kate was pictured wearing their items, Reiss were suffering a bit of a downfall in profits but things have completely turned around as they have now emerged as one of the most successful companies on the British highstreet. Sales have increased from £77.7m to £87.6m while profits have almost doubled from £4.3m to £8.5m and a pre-tax loss of £2.1m was turned into a profit of a staggering £3.64m.

Although Reiss officials claim that the turnaround is down to ‘tighter control of costs,’ we expect that the ‘Kate effect’ helped them out hugely. Kate was spotted earlier in the year wearing the company’s Nanette Dress on her trip to Canada and the popular Shola dress, worn at a meeting with the Obama’s, was in such huge demand that Reiss put it back into rotation.

As Kate’s popularity rises in 2012, we’re keen to see what other Highstreet brands she will be spotted in. We expect that every Highstreet shop is hoping for the Duchess to step out in their clothing.

Arriving at the store in a Harrods trademark Green double-decker bus, Florence Welch wore a floor-length, black and silver fur Chanel cape which looked absolutely divine. Underneath, she wore a sheer charcoal dress and pretty lace gloves, giving off a distinct luxe Winter look. She disembarked from the bus alongside two Harrods attendants, carrying shopping bags.

The singer was joined by her band and gave a haunting acoustic performance of ‘What The Water Gave Me,’ to the crowds that had been gathering since the night before.

In the past, the likes of Jerry Hall and Lizzy Jagger, Amanda Holden and Lily Allen have all opened the boxing day sale while Eva Herzigova was the last celeb to appear at the event in 2010. She posed for photographs and walked up and down a red carpet outside the department store wearing a pink strapless dress.

This was the first time in 177 years that a live performance has opened the Harrods sale and we certainly think this could be the start of a brand new Boxing Day sale tradition.

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.
