Celeberama!

The fashion retail industry has went celebrity daft! I'm not even going to go into details... Here are some of the more recent partnerships I can think of off hand:

(the latest rumour) Amy Winehouse for PPQ.
Beth Ditto for Evans.
Barbara Hulanicki (of Biba fame) for Topshop.
Yasmin le Bon for Wallis.
Miley Cyrus & Max Azria for Walmart.
Henry Holland for Topman.
Taylor Swift for Walmart.

I'm sure there will be a lot more in the pipe-line.

Christina rumours denied.

Elle UK has stated that there is no truth in the rumour that Christina Aguilera will be designing a Hollywood glamour style collection for Topshop.

"Our friends at Topshop have confirmed to Elleuk.com that it's not happening. This year Topshop will be focusing on the best in British talent, including a collection from Biba legend Barbera Hulanicki, whose collection in the 1970s defined the decade. Her collection of body-con dresses, palozzo pants, and suede jackets is set to launch in April 2008."


I'm so excited about the Barbera Hulanicki collection (especially with my discount). I really wish I had been around to experience the Biba phenomenon back in the day. My mum tells me about her experiences of going to a store. I think probably the closest thing we have to that now is Topshop which has often been compared to the legendary high street label. 

I'm heading down to London tomorrow morning for a couple of days so if I get the chance I shall take a trip to Topshop flagship store on Oxford Street and Harrods which stocks the 21st century Biba collections.
