New York jewellery designer, Alexis Bittar cast the shows main characters in his Autumn/Winter 2012 latest advertising campaign. In their usual garish outfits, the British pair posed for photographer John Swannell in a series of images, showcasing the brands latest collection.

Talking about his choice of model, the designer told Vogue “I am a massive fan! From the first episode I inherited the word ‘sweetie’ for five years. “It got to the point where it was nauseating and I was forced to stop. I have a tremendous respect for their talent. I was beyond excited to meet and get to work with them. On set, it was one of those rare instances in my life where I was totally star struck.”

After the cameras turned off, Joanna Lumley, who plays the famous Patsy said: “Such a fabulous shoot in the glorious jewellery from Alexis; it was sensational and I am thrilled with the pieces I have from his generous talented hands. Patsy was transfixed by the quality and wants lots more forever. I hope the campaign rocks: I am a fan for life.”

It’s great to see a designer having fun with their advertising campaigns and what a pair to choose!

The Duke of Cambridge made it to number 27 in the list in 2011 but has now dropped out of the 2012 list completely, making way for another dapper dresser.

The magazine has credited Tinie as having a “true passion for elegance and proportions” and he’s beaten the likes of Prince Harry, Doctor Who actor Matt Smith and Robert Pattinson, to the top spot.

Although Prince William has been knocked out of the list, his brother Harry and father, Prince Charles, have both earnt places at numbers 25 and 50. Talking about Harry’s place on the list, the magazine said: “His brother may end up as king, but this year the younger son has been crowned the prince of style” as he regularly looks good in “uniforms… well-cut suits (and) the dishevelled tumbling-out-of-a-nightclub jeans”.

Tinie Tempah has always been well known for his dapper dressing, choosing smart and tailored suits over the usual Rapper attire.

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.

She’s dressed some of Hollywood and Britain’s biggest stars, including the Duchess of Cambridge, but now she’s setting her sights on some more affordable designs, with a capsule collection for popular Highstreet Department store, Debenhams.

The capsule collection will feature occasionwear and jewellery which will launch in stores this Spring. Although the collection images haven’t officially been revealed yet, we’re hoping and praying that a copy of Kate’s gorgeous pink dress will feature in the range.

The Duchess of Cambridge has really helped Jenny’s career over the past few months, having been pictured in more than one of her deigns. Back in June 2011 she dazzled guests at a Charity Gala dinner when she wore the shimmering pink capped sleeve gown, as pictured above. Later on in November, the Duchess impressed again when she hosted a charity dinner at St. James’s Palace, wearing a Grecian style, grey satin gown by the designer.

We can’t wait to see the new capsule collection!

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.

This was a splendid return for the model as she previously featured in the brand’s advertising campaign in 2010, and the 23 year old model shows off her curvacious figure in nothing but accessories from designer Lara Bohinc’s latest 70′s inspired collection, with images shot by Jon Compson.

The photoshoot for the campaign took place in the parlour of London’s Sketch restaurant and aims to tell the story of a glamorous woman who has returned from a night out, having had the time to remove her clothes but not being able to remove the exquisite accessories from the latest Lara Bohinc range.

Talking about the campaign images, which see Daisy sporting a full head of gorgeous curls, creative director Lara Bohinc says: “Inspired by old Biba campaigns featuring cushions and fabrics scattered everywhere and girls plunged deep into their sofas, looking other wordly.”

We think Daisy looks amazing in the campaign images!

The British designer will choose a young model, actress, musician or artist every season, who will reinterpret and style the latest Temperley collection in a short film, which will be shown on TemperleyLondon.com and through Facebook and Twitter.

Singer/songwriter Isabel is the first candidate in Temperley’ talent search and was discovered by the designer at a gig on the Glastonbury Cider Bus last year. Isabel wears the label’s pre autumn/winter 2012-12 collection in her latest music video, which was produced as part of the Alice by Temperley Talent program and directed by the designers brother and sister, Henry and Matilda. The video will debut on the Temperley website in due course.

Talking about her new venture, the designer said: “I am always on the lookout for new talent and love being inspired by unique skills and meeting artisans with passion for their craft. Alice by Temperley is our contemporary line whose muses are iconic artists in the history of film, music or art. It was appropriate to dedicate space and time to promote emerging talent through the platforms and audiences we have available to us, supporting the future icons.”

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.

At just 23 years old, actress Mia Wasikowska has bagged one of fashion’s most coveted campaign jobs, replacing Guinevere van Seenus as the new face of Miu Miu. She appears in a variety of weird and wonderful images for the campaign, featuring huge bold prints and neon bright colours.

She poses alongside the designer’s new collection of stylish handbags and costume style jewellery and her make-up is equally as bold, with bright red lipstick and heavily lined eyes.

The new collection matches Wasikowska’s quirky personality and style perfectly and these new campaign images wouldn’t look out of place at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.

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!
