YBL -Yasmin LeBon-Clothing Collection

Yasmin Le Bon, one of the world's original supermodels, married to Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon and mother of three, has not only put her name to British high street chain Wallis, but has designed and created an exclusive collection for them.

There's no denying that Wallis isn't renowned for cutting edge fashion and with a younger sister like Topshop always in the limelight it's hardly surprising they've fallen into the shadows in the last few years.

Until now, back with vengeance and a super heroine who goes by the name of Yasmin Le Bon leading the way, Wallis are sure to pick up more than a few fashion credentials this autumn.

Yasmin's collection of clothing and jewellery is a true reflection of herself as her inspiration derives from her Persian roots and her very own wardrobe. The collection is sexy yet demure and comprises of 20 versatile pieces that are classically timeless. Key pieces that really stand out are the cream silk tunic with a delicate purple floral design and matching silk necktie and a green one shoulder maxi dress that Yasmin has already been snapped wearing. Her creations are understated and luxuriously chic, and all polished off with ethnic and vintage inspired jewellery.

Celebrities Fave "IT" Bags

We bring you a sneak preview of the must-have 'it' bags for spring/summer 2008, and the stars who are already ahead of the fashion pack.

Kylie Minogue and Mischa Barton with Chloe's Bay

Chloé's Bay has already achieved cult status, with devotees from Kylie Minogue and Misha Barton wiht multi-pocketed casual leather luxe - if we owned one in each colour.The taupe or gold versions are right in there with the metallic trend, but the Bay also comes in white, black, brown, shopper and mini version, for smaller budgets...

Jess and Jen with YSL Besace

YSL's newest creation defines everything that's now: laid-back, understated luxe.

Wear this one slung casually over a shoulder for a too-cool-for-school style. Only trained observers will be able to guess the price of your bag - the rest of the population will just think you're effortlessly chic

YSL's bag of the season is seen here in daytime version in beige or black matte leather. It also comes in a more glamorous grey velour with croc embossing, or - our personal favourite - crackled gold leather.

Lily Allen and Kirsten Dust with Chanel Croco

Chanel croc. Ideal for stepping out in style, but more practical than a standard clutch. Lily Allen has the answer: Chanel's Croco quilted bag. Kirsten Dunst recently sported her purple Croco with a red dress for a beautiful spring daytime look.

Halle Berry and Lindsay Lohan with Darel Python

The Python is a statement all on its own: it screams superstar, but superstar with clutter, just like the rest of us mere mortals. Halle Berry is a fan of the roomy, chic Python, and we love her very A-list look, with oversized sunnies for added glam. It's glam but not OTT. Lindsay Lohan has a metallic version (erm, how many designer handbags does she own?). Maybe it helps her chauffeur spot her when she emerges from nightspots a little the worse for wear?

Top Spring 2008 Trends in Women's Shoes

If you're getting anxious to update your shoe closet for Spring 2008, you'll want to make sure you pick a few pairs that are right in line with the season's trends. The stylish ensembles from Fashion Week runways in September included a touch of feminine elegance from the '20s and '30s, along with Grecian inspired looks from centuries gone by. What does this all mean in the shoe department? The season calls for nude-colored pumps and flats, as well as white t-strap sandals with super-high heels. Here are more of the top Spring 2008 trends for women's shoes:

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Sandals with Fringe Detailing
Add a super-feminine fringe to a simple slip on sandal for a unique take on the basic look. Donna Karan made the best of this look on the NY Fashion Week runways, and it will be a leading trend for spring and summer. Fringe details made an appearance in Fall/Winter 2007 on boots and pumps, but (as usual), not everyone approved. Sandals may be a better option for simpler tastes this year.

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Python T-Strap Sandals
Skip the exotic skin handbag this season---or just match it up with your shoes---to capture the trend in the T-strap sandal. Python and croc-embossed sandals with covered heels and simple crossover buckles are a top trend this Spring; look for styles in red, gold, metallics, and basic black.

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Vinyl Sandals and Flats
Vinyl shoes are a popular choice for 2008, and are making an appearance in flats, simple heels, but most of all, in sandals. Pick up yours in the classic clear style, or sport a shimmering rhinestone or buckle for a unique touch. From dress pumps to casual sandals, vinyl is a top trend for Spring. Take a look at the MARC by Marc Jacobs Jeweled Vinyl Flat for inspiration.
Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Patent Oxfords
Glossy oxford pumps and booties continue on into spring season in bold colors and even a few metallic, crocodile-embossed styles. Oxford pumps offer a no-nonsense touch to your ensemble, and the year's best picks can be found in glossy blue, red, yellow, and metallic versions in gold and silver. They're great with the pantsuits of the season too!

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Pink Pumps and Sandals
Pink continues to be a popular color this season, and is making an appearance in pink/black, and pink/white combinations. This year calls for a little more 'boldness' than usual, so don't be surprised to stumble across shocking pink and flamingo shades on your next shoe run. The Miu Miu Croc Bow Slide is a great start.

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Jeweled Thong Sandals
All that glitters is now making its way to the shoe department with oversized jewels and embellishments on the simple thong sandal. Look for gold, silver, and colored gemstones for a glamorous touch. The Giuseppe Zanotti Jeweled Thong Sandal is just one example of this trend.

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Gladiator Flats
Flats continue to be a strong trend this season, but there's no reason to settle for the ballet flats any longer. A gladiator flat with simple detailing provides plenty of comfort with a buckled ankle strap for balance. The Braided Gladiator Flat from Stella McCartney is one example of this trend.

From girly pink sandals to metallic python pumps, Spring 2008 trends for women's shoes offer plenty for all tastes and personalities. Round out your spring wardrobe with a few of the season's latest trends!

Celebrities Wearing Versace Designer Clothing

One of the primary forces behind the success of the Versace label is celebrity fashion. Celebrities have the ability to promote labels they support through the media and publicity they receive on a consistent basis. Versace is one of the most popular labels among today’s hottest celebrities and has been highly recognized as one of the top designer labels when it comes to celebrity style. Some of the celebrities who have helped promote the Versace label. Here are some celebrities who love the Versace Designer Clothing Collection.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez and Donnatella Versace are great friends, so, it follows, Jen can often be seen sporting one of the designer’s gorgeous creations. This revealing slashed-to-the-navel number practically launched Jennifer’s career.

Sharon Stone

Is it just us, or does Sharon Stone get more gorgeous with every year that passes? She’s definitely the silver lining at the International Rendez Vous Cinema Verite 2007 Gala Dinner in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Her tulle-train, crystal-covered gown clings.

Jessica Alba

Jessica steals the show at the 78th Academy Awards in LA in this achingly beautiful lace-embroidered, gold halter-neck gown. If ever there was any doubt that Jessica is one of the most stylish women in the world this, surely, confirms it. (5 March 2006)

Kirsten Dust

For a lady that’s well-known for her rock chick laid-back attitude towards fashion, the beautiful, glamorous V-neck gown Kirten’s sporting at the Rome premiere of Spiderman 3 is something of a different direction.

Mischa Barton

Mischa opts for a slightly strange yet pretty look at the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Awards honours the Versace fashion house in Beverly Hills. We’d usually suggest that split-level remains purely the domain of flats, not fashion.

Drew Barrymore

Drew isn’t a permanent fixture on the red carpet but, when she does make an appearance, she makes sure it’s a glamorous one. The chocolate brown dress she’s wearing at The Perfect Catch film premiere in London is classy yet super-sexy.

YSL- History

Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent is one of the greatest fashion names of the late 20th century. Throughout the years, the groundbreaking designs of the Couture house created innovative pieces of clothing.

Yves Saint Laurent was the first Couture house to launch, in 1966, the modern concept of luxury women's prêt-à-porter, in a collection called « Rive Gauche ». It was followed in 1969 by a « Rive Gauche » men's ready-to-wear line. The Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche boutiques were soon opened throughout the world, allowing fashion-conscious working individuals to wear the Yves Saint Laurent designs. This represented the first step in making luxury labels accessible to a wider public.

In 1999, the Gucci Group (the luxury division of the PPR Group) acquired Yves Saint Laurent. Since then the brand has been repositioned at the top end of the luxury goods markets. Under the management of Valérie Hermann, appointed CEO in 2005, and Stefano Pilati, Creative Director since 2004, the brand has renewed the exceptional legacy of its founder while bringing a contemporary approach to its collections, which combine elegance, top-quality fabrics, refined and discreet but recognizable details.

Today Yves Saint Laurent's collections include women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewellery, scarves, ties and eyewear. They are designed for both modern women who have a keen sense of freedom and follow their instincts with assurance, captivating others with their elegance, as well as men who prefer a nonconformist look and assert the different facets of their personality in a modern and sensitive way.

The Yves Saint Laurent network currently has 63 directly-operated stores, including flagship stores in Paris, New York, London, Milan, Hong Kong and Tokyo. The brand is also present in the most prestigious multi-brand boutiques and department stores in the world.

3. See-through Dress – Naked looks are already big trend in 2008.Raincoats, shirts, and blouses made from sheer fabrics such as organza, chiffon and georgette are expected to be a big look for spring.

   1. Uma Thurman attended the swanky Swarovski Fashion Rocks in a see-through Valentino dress.

      
   2. Paris Hilton was dining out at KOI RESTAURANT on LA CIENEGA BLVD. in LOS ANGELES

4. Industrial fabrics - High-tech fabrics, such as those with anti-microbial or rubberized properties, are increasingly finding their way onto the runways. Burberry is selling a trench coat made from rubberized materials originally developed for scuba diving. Two hundred dollar T-shirts by a company called Established 1887 are embedded with silver chips that have antimicrobial properties to repel stains and odors. As an added benefit, these fabrics are harder to knock off and so help clothes designers differentiate their stlye from a sea of imitation. Look for more classic, less faddish incarnations of the industrial fabrcis in your wardrobe too, such as a rubberised trench coat from Burberry.
   
   
   

5. Tomorrow's hangouts - Up and coming retailers are adding lounges, nail salons and bookshops to their stores in the hopes of luring customers and getting them to stay longer.
   Metropark, a City of Industry, Calif.-based chain with 18 stores nationwide, aims to be part club part street boutique. DJs spin records at its stores, which sell hip fashions, off-beat art work and music. SoHo boutique Lounge also has a DJ booth as well as a spa. Deegie's Carma, the brainchild of a former Nordstrom executive, is set to open its first store in Kansas City in March. In addition to racks of trendy, teen worthy clothing, there will be a lounge as well as a hair and nail salon.

Posh - Mr. Blackwell's annual worst-dressed List

The style guru Richard Blackwell's named his top best dressed list, included the two Australia's expected mums- Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett and also included Reese Witherspoon, Jemima Khan and Angelina Jolie.

But with the Hollywood new comer fan of skinny miniskirt Victoria “Posh” Beckham named the worst dressed on Blackwell's annual best and worst list.

Blackwell, an 85-year-old Los Angeles-based former fashion designer, first released his Ten Worst Dressed Women List in 1960, with Queen Elizabeth II, Martha Stewart and Dolly Parton past alumni.

"Forget the fashion spice - wearing a skirt would suffice," Blackwell said in announcing his list.

"In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck-em."

Beckham edged out another Brit for the unwanted honour, the drug-troubled, tattooed eyeliner-lover, Amy Winehouse, who was named second worst-dressed woman.

"Exploding beehives above, tacky polka-dots below ... she's part 50's car-hop horror," was how Blackwell summed up Winehouse.

Third on the worst-dressed list was former wonder twin, Mary Kate Olsen, whose style was described as resembling "a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane" and fourth was another songstress, Fergie, who Blackwell said was "couture chaos".

Rounding out the worst top 10 was fifth placed Kelly Clarkson, derided for her "belly-baring bombs", then French Bond girl Eva Green ("Stuck in neon nightmares"), followed by Avril Lavigne ("Gothic make-up courtesy the mad spatula"), Jessica Simpson ("She's a global fashion curse"), Lindsay Lohan ("Fashion frenzy strikes again") and in 10th, former Little House on the Prairie bad girl Alison Arngrim ("Looks like a 1940's fashion editor for the Farmers Almanac").

Last year Britney Spears ("Style-free and fashion deprived") was named worst-dressed, beating out Camilla Parker-Bowles who Blackwell described as resembling a "parakeet from the Jurassic age".

Joining Kidman, Blanchett, Witherspoon, Khan and Jolie on this year's best-dressed list were Beyonce, Helen Mirren, Katie Holmes, Katherine Heigl and Prince William's on-again, off-again girlfriend, Kate Middleton.
