It isn't the first time that Anna Wintour has taken a vested interest in Christopher Kane. However, after the presentation of his latest Versus collection, pictured above, (the diffusion line he works on with Donatella Versace) in Milan, Wintour is reportedly very eager to make Kane a household name. After all, it was her who first introduced the young Scottish designer to Donatella in the hopes of reviving the Versus brand, which was first began by Gianni Versace in 1989. While there is no word on what she has in store for Kane, I'm sure whatever it is it'll be big.

Lady Gaga recently wore Armani Prive to the Grammy Awards. While there, she revealed that Giorgio Armani would also be designing her tour costumes for the overseas leg of her Monster Ball tour.

Following the release of post mortem results which revealed that Lee "Alexander" McQueen died from asphyxiation and hanging, the Gucci group have announced that his brand will solider on despite his passing.
"We believe in the future of the brand," said Robert Polet, president and CEO of the Gucci Group. "Lee was very proud of the people working in his company, and so am I."
Polet also revealed that a McQueen collection would be shown during Paris Fashion Week. In 2000, the Gucci Group acquired a 51 per cent stake in McQueen's company, which seems to have thrived despite the economic downturn reporting sales in excess of £23 million in 2008.

You've seen the campaign images and now here is a special behind-the-scenes look at Stella McCartney's Spring/Summer 2010 ads. Starring Natalia Vodianova, the video sees the model getting her hair and make-up done as well as striking a pose for the cameras. She is also seen sharing a laugh with Stella, while a couple of blokes use foam boards to give her the desired wind-blown effect. Handy!
There is just no escaping Pamela Anderson when it comes to Vivienne Westwood these days. Wherever Viv is, so it seems is Pam. Now she's back to model for the designer's Spring/Summer '10 campaign which also stars a real model, Tati Cotliar. Of course it wouldn't be a Westwood ad if the lady herself and her hubby, Andreas Kronthaler, weren't also in front of the lens.
