This season’s 25th year celebrations of London Fashion Week appear certainly to be a cause for change, as designers continue to announce their plans to return to the UK’s catwalks. Next in line? Harrods owner Mohammed Al Fayed’s daughter, Jasmine Al Fayed.
Al Fayed has shown her label - Jasmine di Milo - in Paris since 2006 and will be joining the likes of Burberry, Jonathan Saunders and Clements Ribeiro in LFW’s new, central home, Somerset House this September!

Kylie Minogue hates being too thin.
The petite singer - who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 - has put on weight since undergoing chemotherapy treatment and believes her looks have improved because of it.
She explained: “It was hard to deal with. I still deal with it. I’ve got fat ankles hidden under these boots. But I think my body in many ways is better for having weight on it. When I look back at some pictures, especially before I was diagnosed, I just think, ‘That’s too thin, that doesn’t look good. That doesn’t look right.”
Overall, the 41-year-singer insists she is happy with the way she looks, especially as her body is returning to how it was before she was diagnosed.

Christian Audigier has promised a “big celebrity” will appear at his upcoming Paris show.
The US-based fashion designer - who has an eponymous label and is also behind the Von Dutch and Ed Hardy brands - is thrilled to be showing in the French capital in October.
He said: “There will be a performance by a big celebrity. I’m not tell you who though - you know all the names, you can guess.”
The designer - who counts Madonna, Britney Spears and Katy Perry among his fans - was speaking as he launched his new range of champagne and wine in London. Christian - who will soon be bringing out his own range of spirits - explained his brand is more about lifestyle, rather than just fashion.

Diane Von Furstenberg’s new perfume is reportedly making New York pedestrians feel unwell.
The coveted designer - who recently launched her new scent D Eau de Parfum - has upset US residents by pumping the strong-scented fragrance from the air vents at her store in the city’s fashion-forward Meatpacking District.
One woman told the New York Post newspaper: “I literally got dizzy from this. It is putrid, awful, something you’d find on a 60-year-old matron.
“She has got some nerve wafting this out of her store. There is a point at which these peoples’ egos and chutzpah absolutely begin to take over any sense of reality or consideration for other people.”

Madonna’s new clothing collection is for “seven-year-olds to 77-year-olds”.
The 50-year-old popstar is teaming up with French fashion designer Christian Audigier - who has an eponymous label and is also behind the Von Dutch and
Ed Hardy labels - on a new range, and is determined to make it suitable for all age groups.
Christian told BANG Showbiz:
“Madonna and I are working on a new project called The Material Girl Project and I’m going to be a partner with her on it. It’s going to come out, in September, when it’s back to school time. So we are working on different designs and samples right now, so we’re going to have most of that done at the end of the summer. It’s going to be for everyone, all ages. We’re going for everyone, from seven-year-olds to 77-year-olds. We’re not excluding anybody.”
