Clean lines, strong silohettes, that was the basis of Stella McCartney's Autumn/Winter 2010-11 collection. Kicking off her show was a voice recording parody of Tiger Woods' phone call to his mistress, from there it was all about sharp tailoring with minimal if no embellishment or fuss. There was Sixties-style shift dresses, swing coats and shiny cropped trousers. And for the evening, Stella went back to her penchant for sexiness with one-shouldered mini dresses that were draped in organza.
No doubt this won't come as a huge surprise to many... but it appears as though Lindsay Lohan is no longer involved at Emanuel Ungaro.
Ungaro owner Asim Abdullah confirmed the news to WWD backstage at the label's Paris show this week.
"She's not involved in this collection," he simply said, without wishing to comment further. Furthermore, the troubled actress wasn't to be seen at Ungaro's show on Monday. When asked later in the day as to why this was, Lindsay replied: "Because I don't work for them anymore. There's legal things going on; I can't really discuss it."
Ungaro was widely criticised after they recruited Lohan to act as artistic advisor. Shortly after its president Mounir Moufarrige, resigned from his role.
It was another case of giddy up for John Galliano's Autumn/Winter 2010 collection for Christian Dior. The designer revisited his 18th century equestrian theme that he used in his Dior's couture collection, complete with jodhpurs, tweed, long leather boots, georgette dresses, riding coats and baker boy caps.

Despite reports to the contrary, Gareth Pugh isn't being lined up to succeed Alexander McQueen. Over the weekend, the Telegraph reported that Gucci Group owner PPR had indicated that they wanted Pugh to take over as creative director at the label. This has since been denied by a spokesperson for the young designer.
In response, Pugh's PR company, Mandi Lennard Publicity, issued the following statement: "Further to speculative reports earlier this week, Gareth Pugh is not in discussions with Gucci Group about a Creative Director role at Alexander McQueen."
In the meantime, McQueen's final collection which is believed to have been nearly completed before his death, will be "unveiled in a series of low-key, private, salon presentations" this week.

Following on from our red carpet coverage of the Oscars, I thought it would be fun to hear from you guys on what you thought. So far, many have been split over Charlize Theron's look.

Tell us by casting your vote in our reader poll below.
