According to rumours Lara Stone will soon become the new face of Calvin Klein brand. And what is more she is going to front not only the main collection but also Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Cosmetics.

Although Lara has modeled for fashion giants before taking part in three campaigns will be a huge success.

The designer of VANITA – Gerry Petrova recommends to the future seniors romantic dress with knee-length, highlighting the youth and the freshness of the young girls.

The nude base fabric, wrapped in shiny lace, gives delicacy and refinement of the dress. Short strapless dresses are also in fashion for 2010. They are suitable for almost every body type, reveal shoulders and neckline.

As Sex And The City’s Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker shot to sartorial fame, and women everywhere have copied her style ever since.

Disco diva: Sarah Jessica Parker looks flirty and fun in the £420 Halston Heritage dress

The 44-year-old actor has a new fashion role – chief creative officer and president of U.S. designer label Halston.

The label was big in the Seventies and its collections have a retro vibe.

So it was no surprise to see SJP out and about in New York wearing a dress from Halston’s new range.

With her soft wavy hair and chunky jewellery, Sarah carried off the sparkly, disco look with panache, looking flirty and fun.

But could our ‘real woman’, a size 12, pull off the style with similar va-va-voom?

Put bluntly, no. It’s Sarah’s wiry frame that makes the billowy design look so flattering.

On a more curvy girl, the dress looks shapeless, giving her endless hips.

And without lots of accessories, it’s rather plain.

A more figure-pleasing alternative is this slim-fitting shift dress from Hobbs.

While it might seem counter-intuitive to buy a tighter dress if you have a bigger frame, our model looks smaller in this frock as it shows off her figure – and it’s a quarter of the price.

A look at some of Alexander McQueen’s most memorable runway moments, along with some of his quotes from a 2007 Bazaar feature on his philosophies of design, and life.

“You have to suppress your ego. I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn’t label that commercialism; it’s more like I do this work because I want people to wear it.”

There’s something really interesting going on in style in Florence. It’s a place called Luisa. It’s is a multi-designer boutique that’s been on the Via Roma for two generations. When you get inside, you find a very distilled selection featuring edgy designers and couture pieces to fall for. It’s not exactly what you’d expect from the Florentine cliental, really chic but not exactly ready-to-wear like à la Mark Fast or anything. So… What’s the secret?
