Conchita Wurst Makes Her Couture Debut

Jean Paul Gaultier is no stranger to making a statement on the catwalk – not just with his clothes, but with his choice of models, too. From a bare breasted Madonna, to Beth Ditto holding a pair of champagne flutes, the so called enfant terrible of fashion likes nothing more than to send a surprise guest down the runway.

Not wanting to disappoint his fans and FROWers at this year's couture show in Paris, the designer looked to Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst to be his special guest model. The bearded beauty took to the catwalk dressed as a sultry Spanish widow, complete with veil and elbow-length gloves, while JPG showed his appreciation of the 25-year-old Austrian by getting down on one knee and kissing the singer's hand.

Conchita, who also goes by the name Tom Neuwith, later swapped into a silver-y beaded creation to attend a party with Jean-Paul. Has fashion just found its newest star? We certainly hope we get to see more of Ms Wurst.

Topshop AW14 First Look: What To Expect From The Brand Come Autumn

Topshop have given us a first look of their AW14 range and, judging by these amazing campaign shots, it's set to be something pretty special. The brand, who are known for their on-the-pulse stance on all things fashion, have really homed in on the key trends for next season, making their collection more relevant than ever. 

Shifting their focus from kitsch prints and ultra-bright hues, their autumnal collection carries a more muted colour palette with seriously wearable separates dominating the range. Of course, jackets play a key part in the new line, with shearling, quilting and cape trend-bases covered. 

As well as chunky knits and biker jeans, the brand have played a particular homage to power dressing with tailored suit trousers, coordinating sets and minimal cut coats weighing in at the more sophisticated end of the brands broad autumnal spectrum. Reworked in dark blush pinks and dusky apricots, this is work wear 2.0.

The general vibe of the range has an apparent '70s feel to it, tapping in on what's set to be the biggest trend of the season. Sequin mini skirts, over-the-knee boots, ruffled peasant dresses and roll necks are all points of retro-note. As always, the eclectic mix of high-low styling is predominant throughout the campaign, oozing the cool-girl aesthetic the brand practically invented. Yep, this is one collection we can't wait to start wearing; so much so we're actually willing the summer to be over just so we can get our hands on it. Bring on September.

Fendi's Karlito Bag Charm Is Set To Earn HOW Much?

Karl Lagerfeld certainly knows a thing or two about creating waiting list worthy pieces, but his latest must-have item is in fact a teeny meme of the man himself, affectionately dubbed Karlito. Back-track to February when Karl, who has been creative director of Fendi since 1965, sent model of the moment Cara Delevingne down the Fendi runway toting a mini fuzzy Lagerfeld and carnage ensued.

Becoming one of the most talked about moments of AW14 Fashion Month, we knew it was only a matter of time before Karlito-mania set in. Just yesterday, at Couture Fashion Week in Paris, Fendi hosted a party at its Avenue Montaigne store in Karlito's honour, attracting some of the fashion-worlds finest. The demand for the bag charm has been so huge, WWD reports that over 600 names have already been put down on the Karlito waiting list, which initially opened in June. 

If that wasn't enough, the furry critter comes in at a whopping £935! Meaning, if every single listee goes through with their purchase, Karlito will earn the Fendi brand over £550,000 on his own. Now that's an accessory that pays.

So, for just under a grand, you can have yourself your very own Karl Lagerfeld. Yep, that's the dream. Beg, borrow or steal, we definitely want to get our hands on a piece of the Karilto action.

Nicole Richie Just Rocked Chanel Braces - Would You?

Nicole Richie is firmly back on our fashion radar thanks to her array of a stunning dresses and ever-changing her colour that she's pulled off over the past couple of weeks, but it's her latest look that has in a sartorial frenzy. 

We clocked the 32-year-old style icon in New York City promoting her new TV show entitled Candidly Nicole - we hate to break it to you, but it's not a follow on from The Simple Life - sporting what could have been a relatively boring black jean and white vest combo.

That was until we spotted her amazing Chanel braces hanging casually by her waist... Talk about a game-changer.

We never thought we'd see the day where we would be lusting over a pair of mannish suspenders but, thanks to the not-so-subtle branding, they've gone straight to the top of our designer wish-lists. Proof that the logo trend is going nowhere anytime soon. What do you make of Nicole's offbeat braces? What would you wear them with? Let us know by dropping us

Rita Ora Shines As Roberto Cavalli's New Girl In AW14 Campaign

Rita Ora has just bagged herself one of the hottest fashion gigs of her career as it's revealed that she is the face of Roberto Cavalli's stunning AW14 campaign. Nice one, RC. The 23-year-old singer couldn't contain her excitement as she took to her Instagram account, unveiling the ultra-glam shots to the world for the first time with the caption 'RitaOraForCavalli Finally it's OUT! I love you @robertcavalli @eva_cavalli. This collaboration is a huge honour'. What a sweetheart.

Clad in beautifully beaded dresses, seriously cool printed suits and silk devore gowns, the campaigns opulent feel was echoed in Rita's gorgeous Marilyn Monroe-inspired styling. Speaking of their seasons protagonist, the brand said 'Rita Ora wears fame like a tailored suit. A destiny reserved for the future queen of the pop, who lives her notoriety with the enthusiasm of an extraordinary debut and the awareness of a great diva'. It's clear to see the admiration goes both ways.

The images were captured by the young Italian photographer and director Francesco Carrozzini in a studio-setting in New York City with the brands creative director in-residence, Eva Cavalli, taking control over the irresistible appeal of the shoot. Talk about a dream team, huh? If the clothes weren't enough to covet the campaign also introduces us to the the Regina bag, the fashion-house's It arm-candy of the season; modelled in black leather with ornate embroidery and bead work, this is way more than just a carry-all. Yep, you can expect to see a lot of this bag come Fashion Month in September.

With such a major campaign under her belt, Rita has firmly cemented her role as one of fashions new darlings. And, if these stunning shots are anything to go by, we reckon this is only the start of the Ora-Cavalli partnership.
