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!

The ‘Love Lockdown’ star is planning to launch his own fashion line but wants to learn as much as possible about the industry first, and is already impressing bosses at his work placement with his attitude.

A source said: “He works all the time, and one Friday night recently he stayed until midnight. He is learning the fashion business from the inside and trying to do it quietly.”

Another insider commented: “Fashion is Kanye’s main priority at the moment. He wants to get his own brand started.”

This is not the first time Kanye has completed an internship in the fashion world.

Last summer, he reportedly did a low-key stint with Louis Vuitton after revealing he had planned to write to every fashion house asking for a placement.

He said: “I’m going to go and take an internship and just do something that’s completely normal, and just rap at the weekends or something.”

Zandra Rhodes was left “embarrassed” but unhurt after she was involved in a car crash.

The flamboyant British designer drove her vehicle into the front of a hardware store in San Diego earlier this week, but while she was left shaken she had no injuries.

Her spokesperson said: “Zandra is fine. She panicked when the car went forward instead of reverse as she had intended. She is highly embarrassed by her mistake but is glad no one got seriously injured.”

A local fire service spokesman said a woman, who was believed to have been inside the store at the time of the incident, was taken to hospital but did not have life-threatening injuries.

San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque added: “She just had some aches and pains from her head to her toe.”

Zandra - who splits her time between the US and London - did not want to discuss the incident any further and it is not yet known whether she faces charges.

She has previously designed clothes for the late Princess Diana.

The ‘Mysterious Girl’ singer has signed a reported £600,000 deal with fashion designer Christian Audigier to promote the label, which is inspired by the designer’s love of rock and tattoos.

Peter told BBC Radio One: “I’ve actually just signed a deal with Christian Audigier to become the face of the British Ed Hardy, which I’m really excited about.

“I met with him and had no idea what the meeting was about so I was stunned when he asked me to work with him. It’s very flattering.”

Christian is launching a London store this year and Peter is expected to play a big part in the opening.

Sources claim the deal may help Peter - who split from his former glamour model wife Katie Price in May - make it in the US as Christian is well-respected there, having previously worked with Madonna and the late Michael Jackson.

One added: “Pete’s popularity is set to soar. He’s kept his head down and it’s paid off.”

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.

She added: “My face has changed. Everything has changed. It’s coming back to normal, whatever normal is.”
Earlier this year, Kylie admitted she has had Botox injections to ensure she remains wrinkle free, and hinted she might undergo further anti-ageing procedures.

She said: “For all time women have wanted to, for the most part, look their best. It’s just that what we have available to us today is - what it is today. And if you want to take advantage of it, yeah. I’m preferring to be a lot more… natural these days. I’ve tried Botox, I’ve tried all…”

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.

He told Vogue.com: “Wine is a big part of my lifestyle and everyone wants to be a part of that. I don’t mind about launching during the financial crisis. Everyone drinks more during a recession - they want to forget.”
Christian celebrated the launch with a star-studded party at London hotspot Movida, but the night was not without problems.

Hours before the party was due to start thieves stole all 125 cases of champagne, with a value of £125,000.
Police are currently investigating.
