Gwen Stefani is teaming up with Target to create an affordable range of clothes for babies, children and young teenagers. The No Doubt singer - who already has her own fashion range L.A.M.B. - will work on the collection, entitled Harajuku Mini, with the budget store, which will be a spin-off of her successful Harajuku Lovers young contemporary apparel and accessories collection and Harajuku Lovers fragrance.
"Harajuku Mini is a dream come true. I've always wanted to do a cool children's fashion line inspired by the supercute and playful kid's clothing you find in Japan. The whole idea is about being creative, expressing your own individuality and having fun getting dressed.

The 25-year-old twins will launch a nine-bag line including a day tote, backpack, doctor bag and shoulder bag made from python and alligator in Barneys department store, New York in August. The siblings don't rely on a specific era for inspiration with Ashley revealing she is influenced by different times while Mary-Kate struggles with ever repeating trends.
"There are important style contributions from almost every era. Drawing on the right references at the right time is the key," Ashley said.
Mary-Kate added, "My problem is not with the trends themselves but the fact that trends are constantly repeating themselves."
Averyl Oates, buying director for Harvey Nichols, who stock The Row, recently claimed the success of the label is due to its "timeless generational appeal."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
Apparently Kim Cattrall isn't the only one who doesn't play well with Sarah Jessica Parker: Carrie Bradshaw Parker and Halston have reportedly ended their working relationship.
The Sex and the City actress was the president of the iconic label until recently and although no formal announcement has been made by either party, the split was alluded to in a recent interview the star completed with Vogue: "When Sex and the City, to her own surprise, made her a fashion star, she launched her own design label and perfumes, as well assigning on to run the Halston Heritage label, a relationship that recently came to an end," the article read.
Last November it was revealed Sarah Jessica was not pleased the CEO of Halston Bonnie Takhar had been forced to step down. "Sarah has been a strong supporter of Bonnie for a very long time, and has been the sole voice supporting her against the board and shareholders. She has been fighting this for a very long time. She believed in Bonnie. She was emotional and upset because this finally came to a head," a source said.

“I was only used to dressing models and skinny kids. And I turned up and it was, like, three fat guys. I just left. That was the last time I tried to work with fat people. I think one of them was Ali G’s brother. It was so ghetto.”

Victoria - who is due to give birth to her fourth child, a daughter, next month - said, "One of my team said, 'It would be funny if you found out you were having a girl.' Because this is the most girly collection I've ever created. These are the kind of dresses I've been searching for. The perfect little summer dress, something that was fun, something that was girly, something that was easy to wear, something that would take you from day through the night."

Alice Temperley Sees No Sense of Style in Young People Today
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers,
Alice Temperley finds it "really sad" that young people no longer have a style of their own. The designer - who created Pippa Middleton's green evening gown for sister Catherine's evening wedding reception in April - says youngsters are trying too hard to look like celebrities instead of getting a look that's unique to them.
"British women of my age group are so good at being diverse and mixing up lots of different looks. Unfortunately, the younger generation model themselves on celebrities, which is awful, because all you see are highlights, tight jeans and high heels. It's all t*ts and lips. That's really sad," Alice, 35, said.
Alice also admits it's harder for new up-and-coming designers to get their break because there are so many celebrities with their own fashion line: "With celebrity being our new religion , it's increasingly difficult to set up on your own. Talented designers are more likely to work for celebrity brands or huge fashion house than ever before."
Former Dior creative director John Galliano will attend the opening day of his trial for alleged anti-Semetic remarks today.
The troubled fashion designer - who has been in rehab since he reportedly launched a verbal attack on a couple in a Paris cafe in February - is expected to blame his excessive drinking and use of prescription medications as the cause of his outburst. Today's hearing - which will be held in front of three judges but no jury as it is a minor offence - is expected to last between four and five hours, with witnesses from both sides giving evidence.

Fashion designer Christopher Kane wants all his collections to be different.
Kane - who counts the likes of Alexa Chung, Leighton Meester and Freida Pinto among his celebrity fans - admits he gets "bored easily" so is always coming up with new ideas for his creations because he enjoys a challenge.
"Every season I design a very different collection to the last because I like to learn new techniques. I get bored easily so I feel I have to move on. The pressure of that is good because it keeps me on the straight and narrow."
