+ New Harvey Nichols ads for their "Love Thyself" campaign - which features females models appearing to kiss themselves - raised enough eyebrows to warrant 17 complaints to the British Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). Thankfully, they were quickly dismissed.
+ After recently verbally attacking Duchess Catherine over her lack of recycling clothes, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood has now targeted First Lady Michelle Obama, calling her style "dreadful."

Nicole Richie: I’m No Fashion Icon
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
Nicole Richie admits she's no "fashion icon" as far as her family is concerned.
The Winter Kate designer may be a mentor on American show Fashion Star, but says when she's at home, she is anything but.
"I'll tell you right now that no one's calling me a fashion icon. Now that you mentioned it, I'm going to start requesting that Joel start calling me that once every day, at least."
The 30-year-old former party girl - who is also the brain behind accessories line House of Harlow - has now branched out into fragrances with her new scent set to hit the stores in autumn.
"I knew exactly what I wanted to do because my mum would wear a combination of a few different oils and a few different lotions. It's a smell that's very special to me and reminds me of my mum," she told USA Today, explaining her perfume choice.

Nicole Richie Makes Handbags From Hats
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Talk about creative—Nicole Richie turns hats into handbags.
The reality star - who is currently promoting her House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate Fall/Winter 2010 fashion ranges - says she often gets inspired by seeing what other people are wearing and then giving items her own unique twist.
“I was walking around the other day and I saw this woman wearing this great hat and I thought actually that’d make a really good bag so we turned it upside down and now it’s a great looking bag.”
Nicole - who has two children, Harlow, two, and nine-month-old Sparrow with fiance Joel Madden - also revealed she has had to alter her dress sense since becoming a mother to make it practical yet still stylish: “I’m a busy working mother. I’m all for what’s comfortable but I don’t think people today make enough effort with what they wear. At the same time I don’t want to have to get out of bed early to decide what to put on. My jackets are my favorite part of my collection because you can just throw one on over jeans and a vest and it looks like you’ve made an effort.”
Nicole Richie Wants You to Feel Naked

Newly-brunette Nicole Richie wants her new clothing line to make women feel as if they’re naked.
The socialite says her new fashion range Winter Kate, named after her two-year-old daughter Harlow’s middle monikers, was inspired by what she feels comfortable in, which is mainly light-feeling outfits. Nicole - who has her own jewellery line, House of Harlow 1960 - said:
“I 100 per cent designed everything. Colors, cuts, fabrics. I would never put my name on something I wouldn’t wear myself. That’s why it’s taken me this long to have my line come out. I do respect designers that go in it for the long haul and don’t do things that are trendy. I’ve always been one to dress for comfort. I’m not one to wear something that I don’t feel good in. Comfort was really important for me, especially doing a spring line. For me, I really don’t like to feel like I’m wearing anything.”
