The Kate Moss / Topshop collabo doesn’t look to be ending any time soon, in fact it seems to get stronger with each collection.

The Fall 2009 collection feels a lot more mature than previous collections.

You can expect the usual nods to vintage glamour and rock n’ roll chic, but the cutesy tea-dresses and heart print dresses have been replaced with investment pieces that have a tougher edge.

The collection includes a biker inspired leather jumpsuit, tailored jackets, sweaters, glittering party dresses, sheer blouses, strapless dresses, faux fur coats, sequin playsuits and many other exciting pieces.

The collection is due to go on sale August 27 in the UK.

After what seems like years of waiting, the pictures of Lily Allen for Chanel bags Fall 2009 campaign have finally surfaced.

The new Chanel handbag line is called “Coco Cocoon” which launches in October.

It’s a collection of reversible, lightweight nylon and lambskin bags in black, ecru, navy, or beige. Turn them inside out, and you’ve got the same tote, overnight duffel, or hanging garment bag in quilted garnet—the original lining colour of the house’s classic 2.55 bag.

As much as I didn’t particular like the idea of Lily Allen being the face of Chanel, she does make these hideous bags look really cute in the ad campaign.

I like the slight reference to “Breakfast At Tiffany’s”, plus I sense a bit of Victoria Beckham too.

Lily is still very much Lily in these ads. They haven’t tried to make her someone she’s not which I was initially worried about.

The pictures below in full colour paint a very ugly picture. Sorry Uncle Karl, but me no likey.

Scarlett Johansson was officially announced as the new face of Mango during a press conference in Madrid yesterday.

She takes over from Penelope Cruz and her sister Monica, who I thought were irreplaceable as the face of the brand.

At the big reveal Scarlett wore a blue satin top and a black high-waisted skirt with a black sash which is available to buy from Mangoshop.com.

The actress is also the face of Dolce & Gabbana’s make-up line.

In those ads she has a 50s glam look, but these ads - shot by Mario Sorrenti - have more of a 80s punk feel.

Here is a behind the scenes video of Madonna getting ready to shoot her new ad campaign for Louis Vuitton.

The great thing is you can now see the stark contrast between reality and photo-shopping, or as Marc Jacobs put it “solarization.”

For me the most interesting part of this film is hearing Marc talk about the campaign. Madonna is just being Madonna.

Today Giorgio Armani unveiled 2 stunning pictures of David and Victoria Beckham for Emporio Armani’s Fall 2009 underwear campaign.

The new advertising campaign was shot in Milan, once again by renowned fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and will appear in fashion and lifestyle magazines and on billboards.

David’s waxy hair from his solo ads remains, but I love the picture above which very much has a sporty feel to it, although I’m not liking Victoria’s pout.  She looks very awkward.

This sexier shot sees them closer together, but yet it feels like they’re so far apart.

I would have liked to have seen more passion in this shot.

I did David take inspiration from his young son Romeo’s hairstyle for this shoot?

Because the young trend setter sported with this very same hairstyle back in January.

Here are a second set of pictures from Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2009 campaign featuring a very over photoshopped Madonna.

She’s still wearing those infamous Bunny Ears, but poses in a variety of dresses and an array of stunning bags.

The campaign is set to be featured in August fashion magazines.

I’m not liking this campaign at all. What do you think of these newer pictures?

Here is a first look at Madonna’s Fall 2009 ad campaign for Louis Vuttion as she reprises her role as the face of brand.

She’s of course wearing the bunny ears which she sported at the Costume Institute Gala plus a magenta dress with voluminous sleeves and a poufy skirt.

I don’t know about you but this picture is over photoshopped for my liking. She’s barely recognizable.

The only thing that hasn’t been retouched is the monogram bag.
