David Beckham is following the footsteps of his wife Victoria, who’s now pretty much a fully-fledged designer in New York, and turning his hand to design himself – but instead of sportswear, which is what we’d expect the guy to be designing, he’s actually designing underwear after appearing in a campaign for Emporio Armani briefs.
And you thought he’d be designing the same kinds of tighty-whities he’s always seen smouldering in on billboards, you’re wrong – he’s actually designing old fashioned long-johns. Apparently David Beckham looooves a pair of old-school grandpa-style long johns! Who the hell knew!
When explaining his unusual choice of design for the new collection, David said: “I sometimes wear them to go to sleep. They’re very cool.” Bless him.
A source close to David spoke out about the footballer’s new underwear plans: “David is 35 and knows he won’t be playing soccer forever. But he’s an icon for men all over the world and he wears pants like no one can – so it makes sense for him to launch his own.”
Well, we’re glad that Victoria is around to help him out with his designs and try to sex up long-johns a little bit. We don’t want all our boyfriends to follow suit and start going to bed looking like our grandpa.

Alex Turner had better get back on the dating scene soon, because his newly exed love Alexa Chung is already in a sneaky relationship with Theo Hutchcraft from the electro Brit band Hurts.
We have to admit we were a bit choked when we found out that Alexa and Alex had called it a day on their relationship – fashion’s best couple!- but we like Theo’s style, so maybe he will be a reasonable substitute for Miss Chung.
A source leaked to the Sun newspaper: “It’s still early days but Theo is really keen on Alexa. They met at the American music festival Coachella in April and Theo has been spending a lot of time in New York, where Alexa lives. They share the same interests – music and fashion – and get on really well. But the relationship is still raw and they’re not putting too much pressure on each other to make it work at this stage.”
Awww, you guys. Now your relationship isn’t a secret anymore, can we see some his’n'hers matching denim outfits, please? Thanks.

Alexa Chung says that 60s-style clothes flatter her slender figure best.
The model and TV presenter has a fondness for classic 60s fashion because it was a decade that favoured leggy, gamine girls such as Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy who have a similar figure to Alexa’s.
Alexa told Harper’s Bazaar magazine: “My ex-boyfriend [photographer David Titlow] showed me Antonioni’s 1966 film ‘Blow-Up’ in my late teens. I remember seeing Jane Birkin. And I couldn’t believe it. She even made just wearing a pair of tights look sexy. . . I think the 60s vibe suits my body type, which is skinny legs and a boyish frame. It’s the groupie vibe that I’m attracted to. They had these amazing love affairs, and both the men and the women were made amazing by them. The girls in the 60s were never overshadowed by the men they dated. You can talk about Jean Shrimpton without having to mention Bailey or Terence Stamp first.”
Alexa understandably tried to distance herself from her classic 60s dress sense because every teenage girl in the UK began copying her – oh, the perils of being a style icon! She said about the Alexa copycats: “I fell out of love with the 60s for a while. I think because I was so identified with it. It’s like Sienna Miller when she did boho, then suddenly stopped because she was like, ‘F**k. What else can I do, because I’ve done it?’ Everyone copied my sodding coat for a while too. It was my Harrods kid’s vintage one. Every girl suddenly had one and I was like, ‘Arrgh!’ I got really bored of smock dresses and loafers for a while. But I feel like I’m ready to fall in love all over again.”
Yeah, I feel like that whenever thousands of teenage girls suddenly start dressing like me too, Alexa. I totally feel your pain.

Zac Posen has revealed that he is planning to return to New York Fashion Week after previously showing in Paris.
Zac, who is loved by all women for his sultry, opulent designs, is moving back to New York Fashion Week because he feels “just like it’s the right time”. The designer said: “Paris is wonderful but it just feels like the right time to show in New York.”
His previous collection for Autumn/Winter 2011, which was showed in Paris, was his trademark array of sculptural-looking evening gowns, this time in leather and metallic fabrics for a harder take on the seventies trend – I absolutely cannot wait to see what he comes up with next, whichever city he’s in.
He went on to explain the city change: “For the Zac Posen Collection, I wanted to give a different voice and focus in the international fashion arena. Obviously, New York has been extremely supportive of me and the stars were aligned to base Z Spoke in my hometown. I have learned over the past 10 years to trust my instinct, to have fun with experimentation and to innovate. I do not see this choice as a focus on Europe, rather, it’s about taking a risk, which is something that is important to do as a creator in order to evolve.”

One of the world’s most famous heiresses, Kim Kardashian, has said that marrying her basketball hubby Kris Humphries last week felt like she was “in heaven”.
The two wed in an extravagant fairytale ceremony in California last week in front of a star-studded guestlist of A-listers. While Kim has said that she felt like “a princess” in her Vera Wang gown at the lavishly OTT nuptials, her and Kris still insist that the day was about celebrating their love for one another and their family and not just throwing a great party. Awwww.
She told People magazine: “Glam aside, that wasn’t our main goal. It was really about our family and each other.”
Kim had not one, not two but three different Vera Wang gowns for the wedding and the reception and the guests tucked into a monstrously huge 10-tower cake from Hansen’s bakery. Well, if we were wearing Vera Wang and eating as much cake as we physically could, we’d feel like we were in heaven too.
The ceremony has been all everyone’s been talking about for weeks – but if you’re sad that it’s all over, fear not, because the couple are planning to have a second ceremony soon.

“Fashion Police” host Kelly Osbourne has said that she hopes one day to design her own fashion line.
Kelly, who is currently the face of Madonna’s Material Girl fashion line, must have been inspired by Madge and Lourdes’ celebrity venture into the fashion industry, because now she wants to start her own.
When Kelly was recently asked what she’d like to have achieved in ten years, the presenter/journalist/singer/wild-child replied, “That’s hard – I don’t even know where I want to be tomorrow most of the time. I would have loved to have starred in 10 more movies and designed my own fashion line by then.”
Kelly’s got an interesting sense of style which is a cool blend of high-end designer with old vintage and punk styles, so we’d love to see what The Gobby One could come up with. Kelly – this is a challenge. DAZZLE US.

The bonkers designer Zandra Rhodes, who is currently working on a new accessories range with Adele Marie, says that she could never be without jewellery or accessories. We know you couldn’t, Zandra, we’ve seen you!
Zandra’s new collection was designed in accordance with her own personal love for trinkets and beads. She said: “Firstly, I never go out without jewellery, ever! When I saw what Adele Marie did I knew that this was jewellery that I could be wearing. As a designer you have to want to wear what you are putting out. I like to get away and take inspiration from the kind of things I want to be wearing. With collaborations it’s different – we merge our ideas and visions together.”
Mama Rhodes’ new collection, basically, is for women like her who aren’t too scared to make a few brave choices about their look.
She told Marie Claire: “It’s for women who just want to wear a unique piece of jewellery. They’re very strong pieces, which emulate me. It’s not shy jewellery; it’s for women who want to make a statement.”

The sultry Friends With Benefits actress Mila Kunis thinks she’s “not good” at being sexy. Really?
Mila, who has admitted to not understanding her new sex-symbol status, however puts as much effort as possible into her sex scenes because she hates unconvincing performances.
She said: “I’m not good at sexy. But there are so many women on the big screen who are so false you just don’t buy it. There’s nothing about them that you believe. It feels so put on. You can feel them mugging for the camera. It’s like their face is raping me, so I know I don’t want to do that.”
I think any bloke who’s seen her girlie scene with Natalie Portman in Black Swan would beg to differ about her apparent lack of sexiness. Still, it’s nice to see a star who’s a little more down to earth, no? We’re looking forward to the new movie.

Daisy Lowe has said that she loves her mum Pearl’s designs for Peacocks as they flatter the female form.
Daisy, who has modelled for Agent Provocateur in the past, is thrilled to model for Pearl Lowe’s collections because they flatter her curvy, feminine figure. She told Vogue: “I love the spotted dress because it’s easy to throw on every day for any occasion. Mum makes dresses that flatter the female form.”
The latest collection designed by Pearl Lowe, of which there have now been seven, consists of six vintage-inspired dresses. Pearl has listed her inspirations behind the new designs as Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks.
Pearl said on the new designs: “In the 40s, people had to make their own dresses, so everything was so original and beautifully made. The prints, however, were inspired by my favourite singer Stevie Nicks. I predict the black dress with the white lace trim to be another sell out, as it’s a follow on from last year’s black dress with the lace collar that sold out in a week.”

As if it wasn’t enough to have one insanely lavish wedding, Kim Kardashian is now planning a SECOND ceremony to her future hubby Kris Humphries in NYC, ten days after the first ceremony in California.
The socialite’s CEO of media, Jason Binn, tweeted about the plans for a second bash: “NY Wedding celebration! @KimKardashian, @KrisHumphries - @colincowie & I are so excited to host. (sic)”
The first ceremony, which is going to be televised, is set to be a glamorous affair. Kim is rumoured to be wearing two different $30,000 custom-designed dresses by the celebrity bridalwear designer Vera Wang. We’re so, so jealous over here.
Kim and Kris are going against tradition by asking their guests to wear black and white to the wedding, instead of the traditional grim shades of pastel,while the bridesmaids are wearing green. Why do brides always choose unflattering shades for their bridesmaids?

A huge congratulations to our favourite American designer Michael Kors, who has just tied the knot! Ooh, we love a wedding (even if we weren’t invited or anything).
Kors and his long-term partner Lance LePere had a romantic ceremony on the beach this Tuesday in the fancy Hamptons, the favoured mini-break town for rich Manhattan holidaygoers. Michael said about the wedding: “To marry someone as wonderful and special to me as Lance barefoot on a glorious beach is more than I could have dreamed of.” Aw, it’s making us a bit soppy actually.
The couple have been dating since 1990, but have only finally been able to tie the knot since a recent law allowing same-sex marriage in New York came in. When asked about how the couple fell in love, Michael replied: “We share a certain level of taste, an American point of view, and I think we like to play with Americana. Over the years and the day-to-day process of dreaming together, things just naturally fell into place.” We have to say, that’s a very fashion response.
Congratulations, fellas! This news has made our day.

Patricia wants to get her fashion claws into Michelle Obama (left)
Patricia Field, one of the most famous stylists in the world thanks to the magic she weaved over Carrie’s wardrobe in Sex and the City, has admitted that she’s dying to style Michelle Obama.
We think Michelle is the most stylish First Lady since Jackie O, and it seems that Patricia feels the same way. The iconic stylist said: “”Probably at this point I would like to dress Michelle Obama. I think because she’s tall, she’s a classy woman, and I think she dresses fine. But I would still love to get my hands on her. I love the way she presents herself and part of the way she presents herself that I really like a lot is that it’s natural and easy and she’s not trying. I think when she gets dressed up – she could get a little adjustment there. Because she’s so elegant in a way she could be a little more directed in her formal wear – but everyday stuff she’s got it down.”
Watch out Obama, if your wife goes off for a styling session with Patricia Field she might come back covered in animal prints and giant corsages. We’ll love it if that happens, but I’m not so sure if you will. Just be warned..

Gisele Bundchen, the world’s highest-paid supermodel, will apparently no longer wear heels on the catwalk because she isn’t used to them anymore, says designer Nicolas Ghesquiere. And apparently she isn’t the only one, either, as he claims more and more models are refusing to walk in ankle-breakers.
Nicolas told NY Magazine: “The idea was to have this crazy casting with Gisele Bundchen and Amber Valletta and Carolyn Murphy and they said no for high heels. They were not used to walking in heels anymore. Gisele was worried, she would not walk in my heels.”
Well, I suppose when you’re the highest earning model in the world you can choose to be a little picky about what you will and won’t do. But come on love, you’re Gisele!

The designer Marc Jacobs has gushingly spoken out about his admiration for the supermodel Kate Moss, who closed his fetish-inspired Louis Vuitton runway show this season to much applause.
Marc puts Kate’s enduring success and popularity as a model down to her “unique” and “huge” presence – according to the designer there are not many models like Kate.
Jacobs told Vogue: “I mean Kate is, besides being physically beautiful and an incredibly charismatic and extraordinary personality, just very rare – if not totally unique. Kate can be just Kate, and the presence is just huge. She fills space, indoor and outdoor, studio space and pages, with such life. That energy really comes through in any and everything that she does.”
It sounds to us like Marc’s got a bit of a girl-crush on Kate, but can you blame him? This is one of our favourite friendships within the fashion industry.

Lea Michele’s new love for fashion and dressing up has come from working on the ‘Glee’ show, according to boss Ryan Murphy.
The creator of Glee says Lea’s blossoming and developing sense of style is down to the confidence she’s gained since playing Rachel Berry on the show. Ryan told American Vogue: “When I met Lea, she was only sort of interested in clothes- but in the last two years she’s become a red-carpet star. I think what happened is Lea went to an event, and someone said, ‘Oh, you look pretty.’ It was an interesting moment for her.”
Lea’s certainly got the red-carpet X Factor, appearing at glitzy events in couture gowns – we always look forward to seeing what the star will be wearing next.
She’s not the only Glee star that has had a bit of an education in fashion since the beginning of the show. Chris Colfer, who plays the impeccably dressed teen Kurt, says that he’s learnt huge amounts from playing his character on the show.
He said: “When Glee started, I had no idea who Marc Jacobs was. In no way was I a fashion person! I did all my shopping at my small-town Target. Maybe if I dressed better I wouldn’t have had such a hard time in school. Now, as Kurt, I get to wear all these amazing things, by people whose names I can’t even pronounce.”
