Demi Moore haute couture fashion stolen

According to the Daily Mail Uk, the actress has over $200,000 worth of haute couture fashions stolen from a personal storage in North Hollywood. Gossip website, TMZ, reports that a member of Demi’s team visited the unit – which has not be accessed by the star for more than six months – found only empty space in the closet where the items were being held remotely. A source told TMZ that there was no sign of forced entry and the lock was intact. If the clothing doesn’t turn up, the star can always replace it with the whopping $75 million she stands to make in the sale of her NYC penthouse.

Time-lapse video shows how much Photoshop is used in fashion photography

The video below has been going viral recently, showing how much photoshop and computer wizardry goes into making commercial fashion shoots. It’s pretty remarkable; pretty much everything gets a little enhancement, from skin to eyes to even the little ridges on the lips. Insane!

Lindsay Lohan back into fashion?

Oh God, we hope not! Rumours this week, and a cryptic Instagram from the troubled star, seem to have Lindsay partnered with British brand Lavish Alice. Lindsay and the brand have remained mum on whether or not Lindsay will play designer but have confirmed Lindsay will star in the upcoming ad campaign. With failed collaborations in the past such as her collection with Ungaro, we hope Lindsay is taking acting lessons and not heading to design school. The actress should start on her court-ordered 140 hours of community service, of which she has only completed 20 hours so far!

Celebrity perfumes are seriously under-performing

Fragarance giants Elizabeth Arden and Coty are reporting steep declines for sales in their celebrity collaborated perfume departments. Arden, which manufactures perfumes for Britney Spears and Justin Bieber, reported declines as much as 18%.

Beyonce and Givenchy = Beyenchy? Maybe.

The 33-year-old superstar entertainer was spotted on a rooftop photoshoot in Brooklyn with Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci himself. Could it be? Is Beyonce the new face of Givenchy? Wearing two different head-to-toe Givenchy looks Beyonce was seen laughing with Riccardo in between shots. One report has Beyonce in a black leotard, and later on a burgundy creation. No confirmation yet, but either way we can’t wait to see the photos!

Louis Vuitton hosts massive fashion show in the middle of the desert

Luxury brand Louis Vuitton lured a bevy of stars to the California desert to see its latest cruise collection by Nicolas Ghesquiere. An A-list audience of about 500 — from legendary French actress Catherine Deneuve to rapper Kanye West to LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault — trekked to the Bob and Dolores Hope Estate in Palm Springs for the event. Louis Vuitton is the third major luxury brand this year to hold a show in California, after Tom Ford and Burberry staged shows. Los Angeles has really been on the rise for luxury fashion brands!

Reese Witherspoon fashion line sells out in hours

Reese Witherspoon has launched her own online fashion retailer selling clothing, jewellery, handbags and homeware – with plans of opening a store in her hometown in autumn. Called Draper James, the brand is inspired by her grandparents’ names and the products are inspired by her Southern upbringing in Nashville, Tennessee. With totes selling for $150, dresses for $300, tank tops for $150, pencil boxes for $14 and sets of cocktail napkins for $85, the rather expensive price tags didn’t seem to deter shoppers from buying the collection – some of the pieces sold out within hours of going live.
