Real life Fashion Police: 'designer' uniforms for Swedish prisoners

The women in this photo are not under arrest for Crimes Against Fashion. There's no need, you see: they're already in jail. Not our jail, mind you: these are inmates of various jails around Sweden, and they're wearing uniforms specially designed for them by students from   Beckmans College of Design, who were commissioned by the Swedish Prison and Probation Service to create clothes for their female inmates.

This is really what we should do for our own prisoners, rather than just making them wear the various items of clothing we arrest along with them, isn't it?

Damien Hirst for Levi's now available at Browns

Bright enough for ya? These are by artist Damien Hirst, who has just created a limited edition range of jeans and tops for Levi's. At first glance it took us right back to the early 1990s and the new age "crusties" who inhabited that era, and that wasn't particularly a place we wanted to go, but hey, it's art, so what would we know?

(The one on the far left also reminds us of Hawaiian shirts. Just us?)

These items are all available at Browns, with the jeans retailing for £150, while the cardigan and hoody are £125 each. What do you think, readers? Your kinda thing?

George at Asda now offering online shopping

Anyone who remembers our list of Five UK Fashion Stores We'd Like to See Selling Online may recall our pleas to George at Asda to make their website transactional. And it seems like someone at George was listening, because as we policed the Internet this morning we stumbled across Asda Direct, which is selling not just the 'George' clothing lines online, but also homeware, toys and various other items not previously included in the grocery shopping site.

The Fashion Police are pleased about this because there are some true gems to be found in George if you're willing to look long and hard enough for them, and the prices are hard to beat. Witness, for instance, the £15 shoes shown above, the £14 black dress (very Jackie O) or the 40s style jacket, which is only £24. In other words: this development pleases The Fashion Police. Now come on Zara and Primark, let's see you follow suit...

Patricia Field for Marks & Spencer now available - what do you think?

Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field's collection for Marks & Spencer hit the stores (and the website) today, so needless to say, we want to know what you think of it.

The much-talked-about corsage dress, modelled on the dress Carrie wears at the start of Sex and the City: the movie seems to have sold out online already, so if you want that one you may have to take your chances on finding it in-store. There's still plenty of other pieces to browse here, though, and we have to admit, we rather love this collection: sure, there are lots of things we wouldn't wear here, but there are also lots of things we would, which is why we're going to be trying to check it out in person as soon as we possibly can.

Take a look under the jump to see some more pics, and don't forget to tell us what you think! (If you just want to shop from the collection, meanwhile, get it here...)

Gossip Girl style at Revolve Clothing, from stylist Eric Daman

Love Gossip Girl? Love the clothes even more? Yeah, us too. Which is why we were pleased to hear that Eric Daman, the stylist for the series, has just put together a Gossip Girl-themed style guide for Revolve Clothing. The outfits featured here are more "inspired by" the characters on Gossip Girl, or a hybrid of some of them (the outfit on the far left, for instance, is "a little mix of Vanessa and Jenny Humphrey" says Eric), but they're interesting all the same. And now we must have those boots. And that green dress. Especially the green dress, in fact. Want! Right now!

You can view the full style guide here.

Victoria Beckham unveils new dress collection at New York Fashion Week: what do you think of it?

(Click image to view full size)

It's a little bit surreal seeing Victoria Beckham's name among the list of designers at Style.com, isn't it? Surreal or not, though, Posh Spice is determined to prove herself as a designer, and to that end, she's chosen New York Fashion Week to launch her new dress collection, seen above.

There aren't many surprises in this collection, and if you've ever seen Victoria Beckham herself (and it would be hard to have missed her, let's face it), you could probably have imagined what kind of thing she would come up with. Each dress could have been pulled from her own closet: it's all pencil skirts and figure-hugging shapes, and you can easily imagine Victoria wearing every single one of them. Which is the whole point, we guess.

No surprises, then, as we say, but we actually like these dresses - especially the white one in the middle of the picture above, which is also available in black. No, they're not the most exciting or original examples of design out there, but we'd wear 'em - or some of 'em at least. What about you?

(View the full collection here.)

P.S. - Victoria also unveiled a new hairdo at New York Fashion week - see a picture and tell us what you think over at Hey, Dollface!

Topshop launches a U.S. website plus latest Kate Moss collection

It's a big day for the folks at Topshop. Not only have they just launched the latest Kate Moss collection for the brand, they've also just launched a US version of their website - go to Topshop.com and click on "Visit US site" in the top right hand corner to access it.

Topshop did previously ship to the US, but the shipping costs were expensive and prices and sizing were aimed at UK shoppers. The new site has prices in USD, American sizing and shipping from within the US itself, so good news for all of our American readers, who can now get their hands on that Pierrot hat - yay!

As for Mossy, we've got some images from her new collection under the jump, so take a look and let us know what you think! Will you be buying any of these clothes? Are you happy to see Topshop available in America? 

Alexander McQueen for Target? Really?

We may not have loved every single one of Alexander McQueen's creations this season, but if the rumour that he's all set to be the next designer to create a collection for Target's Go International line, trust us, we'll be on the first plane out to anywhere with a Target...

The rumour seems to have started with WWD, who say McQueen is "in talks" with the chain, but so far there's been no confirmation from either the designer himself, or Target.

Maybe if we all wish really, really hard?

Celia Birtwell's latest collection for Topshop now available

Celia Birtwell's latest capsule collection for Topshop arrived in-store this week, and has yet to completely sell out, so if you're a fan of Birtwell's 60s style pieces, you might want to get your credit card at the ready. This collection brings back the blouse in a big way (not that it's really been away as such, but it looks like we're going to be seeing a whole lot more of the blouse next season. And we'll probably be seeing a whole lot more of you too, if you don't wear something underneath these sheer ones...) and everything's sheer(ish), chiffon or silk. Prices are around the £55 mark, although there is a playsuit version of the dress shown above, which retails for £75. Yes, we did say "playsuit"...

You can view the entire collection here, but don't forget to come back and tell us what you thought of it!

Men in Tights: eMAN-cipate want to make it acceptable for men to wear pantyhose. Is it?

For years they've been the sole province of us women, but now men want to wear tights, apparently. Or rather, some men want to wear tights. These are the men being targeted by eMAN-cipate - a website which aims "to accelerate the acceptance of male pantyhose as a regular clothing item".

The site claims it is not a fetish site, and contains an illustrated guide showing men how to put on pantyhose, plus handy hints for those trying them for the first time, including, "Don't wear anything unusual (apart from pantyhose of course), used clothes are basically better than new ones, and the more conservative style is the better."

Basically, they just really want it to be acceptable for men to wear tights. So, is it?

Mischa Barton designs handbag range for ASOS

That Mischa Barton is often described as a fashion "icon" has long been a source of surprise to The Fashion Police. This is, after all, a woman who has seen the inside of the Fashion Jail more often than most, although, to be fair, she's had her share of stylish moments too.

If you're amongst those who think Mischa's style is to be admired, then, you may be interested to hear that the actress has just designed a line of handbags for ASOS.com. The Coco Shoulder Bag (above left) and embossed leather bag (right) are shown above, and you'll find more images from the line under the jump. What do you think of Mischa's prowess as a handbag designer? Will you be buying?

Marks & Spencer charge extra for larger sized bras - should they?

This week Marks & Spencer have been coming in for a fair bit of stick for their practice of charging extra for some bras that are larger than a DD cup. 

Women with DDs or larger can expect to pay around £2 more than their smaller chested sisters for some styles at M&S, which has led to cries of discrimination. A Facebook group has been set up in protest, with members describing the increased price (around £2) as a "tax" on those with bigger busts.

Is it, though? Let's look at the evidence...

Online Clothing Stores in the UK: the Fashion Police Directory!

The Fashion Police bookmarks folder is a wild and sometimes wonderful thing, crammed full of online clothing stores we hardly ever visit because their link is buried among the hundreds of other links we added, thinking we'd one day get round to organising them.

Last night, that day came, but rather than just put all of our links into some kind of order on The Fashion Police computer, we thought we'd share them with the rest of you, so that you, too, can have a whole world of online shopping right at your fingertips.

The result was our directory of Online Clothing Stores in the UK. We should stress that this list is very much a work in progress, and we'll be adding to it every time we find a new store we think you should know about, so you might want to bookmark it and check back regularly.

Coming Soon: similar directories for US stores, shoes, accessories and independent boutiques - watch this space!

New Look's one week sale starts today!

We bring you glad tidings, Fashion Force: New Look is having a one week sale starting today, meaning lots of lovely bargains are on offer, especially for those of you who're planning on heading somewhere hot this summer, and who can take advantage of the summery styles.

Some of our favourites are pictured above  - take a look at the New Look website to see some more...

Stripe ruffle cami, £8; butterfly print skirt, £7; nude patent peep toes, £7; floral print dress, £10; stripe heart belt, £3

Toshop's 'Wonderland' collection - what do you think?

Topshop have gone down the rabbit hole with their 'Wonderland' collection with a selection of pieces almost guaranteed to win Fashion Police favour, thanks to the sheer number of bows, bots and pretty shoes it contains. We like!

Topshop say it's a  "Mad Hatter's Tea party mixed with Harlequin and Checkerboard prints...Wonderland is a fantasy comes to life collection full of exaggerated shapes, bold colours and the odd white rabbit thrown into the mix."

We say: "Damn, we wish that cardigan wasn't sold out in our size!"

What do you say?

Michigan Fashion Police crack down on saggy pants

The Fashion Police may not be a real police force, but that doesn't mean you can't actually get arrested for committing crimes of fashion - not if you live in Flint, Michigan, anyway.

Following in the footsteps of Delcambre, Louisiana, and a few other US towns, Flint's Police Chief David Dicks has told his force to arrest anyone spotted wearing pants that sag low enough to expose their butts.

"This immoral self expression goes beyond free speech," says Dicks. "It rises to the crime of indecent exposure/disorderly persons."

What do we think of this, then, Fashion Force? For ourselves, even although this site focuses on crimes of fashion, it is supposed to be lighthearted, and we'd have to say that we don't actually think people should be arrested for the way they dress - unless, of course, the outfits are unquestionably obscene. And while super-saggy pants are certainly ugly, we don't think they quite fall into that category. Crocs, on the other hand...

What do you think? Should the REAL police be able to arrest people for wearing saggy pants?

Richard Chai for Target: your thoughts?

As most of you will already know, Richard Chai is the latest designer for Target's 'Go International range. The clothes (some of which are shown above) will be available in-store from this August, and it's taken us a couple of weeks to get round to talking about them with you because... well, because there just doesn't seem to be a whole lot to say. The clothes are nice. We like them. We particularly like the shades of purple used here, which will make these nice summer-to-fall pieces, but although we'd probably buy some things, like the boyfriend cardigan and Bermuda shorts, for instance, the problem we have with them is that they're just regular old bermuda shorts and cardigans as far as we can see, and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot here to mark this collection out as "designer".

Of course, the prices will obviously reflect this, and we have to bear in mind that Target needs its clothes to be as commercial as possible, so with that in mind, we'd say that yes, we like Richard Chai's work here, and would probably buy some of it, given the prices, but we're not exactly breathless with anticipation over it.

Over to you: what do you think?

Outlet shopping online from Mango

We have no idea why it's taken us until now to discover that Spanish fashion chain Mango has an online discount store, but when we stumbled upon it last night, we have to admit to thinking, "Hmmm, maybe we should just keep this one to ourselves, so that the Fashion Police readers don't go and snap up all the bargains before us..."

The Fashion Police is a benevolent force, though, (and we already checked to see if there was anything we wanted to buy before posting this), so we feel it's our duty to show you this little oasis of discounted fashion on the web. As the title says, this is basically an online outlet store: Mango are selling off their past-season stock at prices ranging from about 5 euros upwards, so while you won't find anything too cutting edge here, you will find some good bargains. For some reason, most things that caught our beady little eyes were 8.99 euros (about £7 GBP), which isn't bad for things like trousers and knitwear.

Of course, being an outlet, you won't find everything available in all sizes, but this actually works in favour of those of you who wear a UK size 6, for instance - we found lots of those available, which is more than can be said for most online stores!

Visit the Mango Outlet here.

Patricia Field to design for Marks & Spencer

Now here's a collection The Fashion Police can't wait to see...

Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field is to design a 35-piece capsule collection for none other than Marks & Spencer. Now, they may have produced a few nice pieces in recent years, but it's still known to many of us as the place their mother shops. Is it soon to be overrun with giant corsages and fabulous shoes? Will Patricia Field make Carrie Bradshaws out of all of us?

We certainly hope so. Look out for the new collection online and in stores from this October.

Kate Moss for Topshop - High Summer '08 collection launches today

Another pansy print dress, some hotpants and a smattering of sequins - it's the latest Kate Moss for Topshop collection, and it launches today. But what do you think of it? Well, let's take a look, shall we...

From the image above, we're no fan of wrap dresses (No, they're really not "universally flattering", no matter what anyone tells you...) but we do like the print on the latest incarnation of the pansy print dress. We love the navy dress in the centre of the picture, and as for the red sparkle dress on the end... well, it looked a little like a dressing gown to us, and then we looked at the back view and discovered it also has cut-outs on the shoulders. Ummm, yeah.

Fashion Police arrest teen for prom dress related crimes: a warning to us all...

So, you thought your ugly prom dress couldn't actually get you arrested? Think again folks...

Marche Taylor, on the left of the picture, also thought her skimpy prom dress couldn't get her into trouble - until she was refused admission to her prom because of it.

"It was revealing in such a way that it would not be appropriate for a prom," said the principle of Marche's high school, in Houston, Texas. Marche, however, disagreed, and the ensuing fracas resulted in the police being called and the teen fashion criminal being led away in cuffs. Which just goes to show you: it's not just The Fashion Police you have to worry about when it comes to dressing for prom.

"I actually like the dress. Everybody else likes my dress," insisted Marche, yesterday. Well, everyone: do you?

(Thanks to Michelle and Julie for the report!)

Lindsay Lohan really wasn't joking about that leggings line....

OK, we admit it: we totally thought Lindsay Lohan was joking when she said she was going to design a range of leggings. Honestly, we didn't think anyone could love leggings that much - not even Lindsay - but it seems we were wrong, for here's LiLo on Robertson Boulevard this weekend, complete with a "bevvy" of leggings-clad lovelies, all modeling her new line, 6126. The name, incidentally, is another homage to Marilyn Monroe, who was born on 6/1/26. We're not sure how Marilyn would feel about having leggings named after her, but at least it's better than Lindsay's last tribute to Monroe...

We would really like to know what the knee-pads are for, though. Anyone?

Perez Hilton is a fashion designer now, creates clothing line for Hot Topic

The Fashion Police have a question: can anyone call themselves a fashion designer these days? Like, anyone at all? Because if Perez Hilton's new line for Hot Topic is anything to go by, it would seem that anyone can, and if that's the case, it looks like we may have our work cut out for us bringing in the crimes of fashion that will doubtless ensue.

Perez says, "“I talk about clothes all the time on my website. I have a good eye for what’s hot and what’s not.”

Hey, wait! We talk about clothes all the time on our website, too! Hot Topic? Let's talk! Call us!

We know the picture above doesn't give you a whole lot to go on, but what do you think of Perez as fashion designer?

'Who' - Five O'Clock Heroes feat. Agyness Deyn

Last week we brought you the news of Agyness Deyn's collaboration with Five O'Clock Heroes on their track, 'Who', and now here it is.Take a look and tell us what you think of the Official Most Fabulous Person in the World's first foray into the music scene? (We have to admit, we quite like it...)

Thanks to Cassie for the link!

Agyness Deyn to release a single

Brace yourselves, fashion fans: the official Most Fabulous Person in the World Ever is releasing a single!

Yes, Agyness Deyn sings lead vocals on 'Who' by Five O'Clock heroes, which will be released on June 23rd, on vinyl and as a digital download. Agyness will also appear in the video for the song, and if there's not some kind of acting role in her future, The Fashion Police will be very surprised. Is there nothing Agyness can't do?

Bruce Oldfield goes down in world, designs McDonald's staff uniforms

From the Princess of Wales to Ronald McDonald - oh, how the mighty are fallen today!

Actually, we exaggerate: fashion designer Bruce Oldfield was, indeed, a favourite of Diana, Princess of Our Hearts, but he hasn't quite made the leap to designing clown costumes for McDonald's most famous staff member. Almost, though.

Oldfield was called in to revamp the staff uniforms of McDonald's staff in the UK after it was discovered that, actually, baggy dungarees and baseball caps aren't such a great look after all. The baseball caps are still there for the checkout workers, but there are also suits for the guys and a "air stewardess" look for the girls, with A-line skirts and neck scarfs. McDonald's chief people officer David Fairhurst thinks the blouses, meanwhile, look "a bit like Louis Vuitton". Hmmm.

We're going to let you judge for yourself. Take a look at the new McOutfits here, then come back and tell us what you think of them. Are you lovin' it?

CoSTUME NATIONAL launches a fashion blog

It's always good to see a new fashion blog on the block, but when the blog in question gives its readers an insight into the day to day life of a fashion designer and his team, it becomes even more interesting...

The blog in question is the newly launched CoSTUME NATIONAL blog, and as fashion blogs go, this is one of the most impressive designs we've seen, with each entry showing a snapshop of the CoSTUME NATIONAL diary, which allows readers to follow  Ennio Capasa and his team around the world. There's also street style photos and an opportunity to join the CoSTUME NATIONAL community - this is pretty cool, because when you sign up and select a gravatar for your profile, your picture will appear underneath the CoSTUME NATIONAL logo, at the top of the site.

As well as giving an insight into the workings of a fashion studio (you can read updates from the team's Twitter profiles as well as their blog entries), the CoSTUME NATIONAL blog also gives you access to information such as the dates and times of the label's next casting calls (they're currently looking for people for their next advertising campaign). If you'd like to get even more involved in the blog, you can even send in your photo to be featured in the street style section, which is always interesting...

New Zealand Olympic team forced to wear Crocs

Pity the poor New Zealand Olympic team, folks, because on what should be one of the happiest and proudest occasions of their lives - the Beijing Olympics - these fine athletes will be forced to dress like Fashion Criminals, in Crocs.

Yes, the athletes have been informed that the plastic footwear will be part of their official uniform at the games, with women forced to wear 'Alice' Crocs while their male counterparts slip their feet into the 'Beach' shoes.

Olympic chef de mission Dave Currie said the shoes would be "very stylish". Has he actually seen them, we wonder?

People who buy sneakers are more likley to be leaders, apparently

As regular readers will know, The Fashion Police have a firm policy on sneakers, believing them to be only for the gym/sports. This possibly explains why The Fashion Police are not world leaders, though, because according to a survey by Mindset Media, people who buy more than three pairs of sneakers per year are 61% more likely to have the qualities of a leader.

This is bad news indeed for the stiletto-toting fashion police, but we're taking it with a pinch of salt for the time being and sticking to the stilettos. If we do ever become world leaders, we think we'd rather do it in heels...

(Thanks to Fashion Police Officer Jenna for the heads up on this story!)

Comme des Garcons to design for H&M

Judging by the number of times their clothes have been taken into Fashion Police custody, you could be forgiven for thinking that Comme des Garcons aren't exactly our favourite designers. You'd be right about that. So, while the rest of the fashion community almost wets itself with excitement at the news that Rei Kawakubo is to create a capsule collection for H&M, our knickers are - thankfully - still dry.

That's not to say we're not intrigued by this news, of course. How will H&M shoppers take to the avant garde creations CDG is so famous for, we wonder? Will Kawakubo tone things down a little for her foray into the high street, or will people soon be walking around in the "fake front" dresses pictured, or those uncomfortable looking low-crotch legging things Comme des Garcons used in their A/W 08 show?

We can't wait to find out.

Coleen McLoughlin: The UK's Most Influential Fashion Icon?

Move over Mossy! See ya later, Sienna! Apparently the UK is no longer taking its style inspiration from models and actresses, but from the wives and girlfriends of footballers - the WAGs, in other words. More specifically, we're taking our inspiration from one Coleen McLoughlin, wife-to-be of Wayne Rooney, and a woman most famous for shopping (not that The Fashion Police can criticize her for that, obviously).

This is according to Look Magazine, who placed Coleen first in a survey carried out to discover the identity of the UK's number one style icon. Usual suspects, Moss and Miller, came 2nd and 3rd respectively, with the rest of the list fleshed out with more WAGs - Victoria Beckham was 4th and Cheryl Cole 5th. 

Philip Lim makes it easier for women to dress as toddlers, and toddlers to dress as women

You all know by know how The Fashion Police feel about women who dress like toddlers. But what about toddlers who dress like women? Or mothers who dress like their kids? Philip Lim has just made the last option a real possibility with his Kid by Philip Lim line, which allows kids to dress in little mini versions of adult designs, as demonstrated above.

Of course, the issue of designer clothes for kids is always a bit of a controversial one in itself, raising important questions such as: Do kids really NEED designer clothes? Isn't it a bit wasteful to spend hundreds of dollars on clothes they'll just grow out of/ruin? And, most importantly, "OMG, is that trench coat available in adult sizes, by any chance?"

This one, however, also raises the question of whether The Fashion Police should be cracking down on women who buy a Philip Lim dress for themselves and then a matching one for their daughter. We're not big fans of the "matchy-matchy" look at any time, you see, and so we're keen to know what you think of it: creepy or cute?

Victoria Beckham's latest ad for Marc Jacobs: not quite as cute as the last ones...

We loved the last round of images from the advertising campaign Victoria Beckham did for Marc Jacobs, we really did.

This one? We'd have to go with "Not so much," we're sorry to say. You?

Gold by Giles Deacon for New Look, 4th collection: what do you think?

Looks like Giles Deacon is heavily into stripes right now, then. He's used them on everything from dresses and outerwear to accessories in this, his fourth 'Gold' collection for New Look, and when he couldn't use them on the outside of the shoes, he just stuck them on the inside instead. Not that we're complaining, mind you: we think we just might love the black, grey and white strapless dress in the picture above, and there are some nautical tees and other pieces that could well find their way into the Fashion Police wardrobe. Modelled by the ubiquitous Agnes Deyn (it's only news if someone doesn't use her to front their advertising campaign these days..), you can view the full collection here. What do you think of it?

Whodunnit? Marc Jacobs' ad campaign spoofed!

The Fashion Police love a good mystery, and we reckon it's time to call in our top detectives to investigate the identities of the mysterious New Enthusiasm - the jolly japesters who've created spoofs of a Marc Jacobs advertising campaign, creating Juergen Teller-esque photos with Marc Jacobs' logo next to them. Who are these mysterious Bjorn and McEnroe lookalikes? Why did they do it? Will we ever know the answers?

Well, if they did it for the publicity, they've certainly managed that alright. Marc Jacobs representatives say they have no connection with the images and don't know who's behind them. We think it was Prof Plum in the library with the candlestick - what do you reckon?

Kate Moss for Topshop, S/S 08: your opinions?

Remember last year, when women queued outside Topshop for eight and more hours, just to be able to grab that hallowed pansy print dress, which still occasionally pops up on eBay, selling for around £130? Those were the days, weren't they? A few months on, and the hysteria has been toned down somewhat, but Kate Moss is still hard at work on her designs, and today she launches her Spring/Summer 08 collection fro Topshop. But what do you think of it?

It was kind of inevitable that there would be stars, but we're glad that the star print dress to the left of this picture has very subtle ones, so it won't date nearly as quickly as some other star print dresses we could mention. The lemon fifties style dress is also available in aqua and white, and already looks to be low in stock on the website, and the spotted bandeau dress is... exactly the same one they released as part of the Kate Moss Christmas collection. It'd look good under the boyfriend blazer, though, so oh well...

Star print dress, £60; 50s style dress, £45; Spotty bandeau dress, £150; Boyfriend blazer, £70; Ibiza sandal, £25

Lindsay Lohan to design leggings?

We haven't seen this for ourselves, but according to Just Jared, Lindsay Lohan has told Life & Style Magazine that she's all set to design her own line of... wait for it... leggings.

Well, it was really only a matter of time, wasn't it? After all, every other celebrity worth their oversized sunnies has been bringing out their own clothing lines recently, and if LiLo was going to try her hand at designing we just know she'd strain the old brain for a few hours before thinking, "Hey, I know what I could design! Leggings! Yes, I'll totally design my own leggings! Then I can continue to love in them, even when every other store in the world finally stops stocking them. Yes!"

Lindsay told the magazine: “It will be a while before it comes out, but I’m going to do it. I love leggings.” (No way! Really?!) They’ll have designs. Some of them will have prints and some will have patterns.”

We're warming the Fashion Police handcuffs as you read this...

Kate Moss for Topshop Spring 08 Preview

It's not a lot to go on, but these five pieces are all we're going to get of Kate Moss's next collection for Topshop - well, until Tuesday, which is when it actually launches, of course. Apparently we can expect a return to the boho look, with Kate channeling the "bohemian" traveler with pieces referencing "Ibiza, Miami, India and beyond." Up above we can see there'll be a handkerchief hem dress, leather jacket, and - gasp! - bootcut jeans rather than the ubiquitous skinnies. (Yes, we know Kate's done bootcut before, but we're still hoping for some skinnies anyway.)

Are you hotly anticipating this launch, or do Kate's forays into fashion design just leave you cold?

Alice McCall to design a collection for Topshop

Oh, hell-to-the-yeah! While celebrity "designers" still tend to leave us cold, there's nothing like a good ol' designer-meets-high-street collaboration to make The Fashion Police smile. This one involves Australian Designer Alice McCall creating a line for Topshop and, if the sketches shown above are anything to go by, it's going to be pretty dress-heavy, which is just fine by us. McCall's dresses are, of course, one of the things she's best known for, so we can't wait to see what she does with this line, which will be available from May 5th, with prices starting from £80.  Rock on!

Victoria Beckham poses for Vogue, designs clothes with Roland Mouret

Victoria Beckham really doesn't care that half the population of Planet Fashion take great exception to her self-proclaimed "fashionista" status. And after all, why should she? She's just managed to nab her first Vogue cover (for the UK edition's April issue) and now The Fashion Police hears that Posh is about to design a collection of dresses with none other than Roland Mouret. We promise we're not making this up.

Victoria's line will be called The Little Black Dress Collection. Can you guess what it'll consist of? Yes! Dresses! Black ones! (We would assume.) There will be ten of them altogether - no word yet on when we can expect to see them.

We're suffering serious "celebrities-turning-designer" burnout right now, but we do think Victoria looks fabulous in the Vogue shoot. Whaddya think? 

Agyness Deyn tops Tatler's Best Dressed List

Hey, folks, look it's Agyness Deyn! Whee! Lookit how happy she is, dancing around and shaking her big-knickered tush! And why is Agyness so happy, you may ask? Why, because she's just been awarded the top spot in Tatler's Annual Best Dressed List, that's why. But does she deserve it, we wonder?

There's no doubt that Agyness Deyn is the "it" model of the moment, and there's also no doubt that she has a distinctive style, which helps set her apart from many others on the list, including Kate Moss and number 2 and Keira Knightley at number 4. Agyness has also attracted a huge legion of fans, including designer Henry Holland who uses her as his muse, and the people at Zara, who decided to use her as a mannequin.

Agyness's punky, 80s style clothes aren't to everyone's style, though, so we;re interested to hear what you think of the list in general - you'll find the full details after the jump...

Diablo Cody v. Stuart Weitzman shoe-gate scandal: who wins?

So, Diablo Cody decided not to wear the $1 million dollar shoes Stuart Weitzman custom-made for her to wear to the Oscars this year. This is something that Weitzman does every year, but Cody apparently didn't realise the cost of the shoes and was, and we quote, pretty "pissed" when she found out.

"They’re using me to publicize their stupid shoes and NOBODY ASKED ME," said Diablo. "I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide. I’m sorry if I sound like a party-pooper, but Jeebus."

Stuart Wieitzman, however, tells a slightly different story:

"I have been making a special pair of shoes to be worn at the Academy Awards for a number of years," says the designer. "This year - more so than in any previous year - the lady who was given the opportunity to wear it was quite involved in the design process. Diablo Cody sent me examples of the type of shoes she liked and actually did the final selection herself, choosing a three-inch retro style T-strap as well as a changeover pair of ballerinas."

Our thanks to Fashion Police officer Stephanie for calling in this report on Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace of Big Brother UK  "fame, who has released her own clothing line, pictured above. It's called "Unique", which is ironic, really, because it doesn't look particularly "unique" to us at all, although we do appreciate Aisleyne's facial expressions while modeling it. More information on this line will be coming soon at Aisleyne's official site. In the meantime, there are some more pics after the jump...
