William Rast designers Johan and Marcella Lindeberg are to launch their own fashion line.

The husband-and-wife duo - who were hired by William Rast founder Justin Timberlake to work on the label three seasons ago - are setting up their own high-end clothing range called Paris68.

The forthcoming designs, which are due to hit stores in autumn 2010, will include both womenswear and menswear.

The 30-year-old beauty has a wardrobe bulging with designer outfits, but footwear is the only thing that gets her really excited.

She explained: “Shoes were the one thing I could take from the catwalk shows. I have an amazing collection, but they’ve all got five or six inch heels so I rarely wear them. For everyday wear I love my Lanvin flats and Uggs. I also have a lot of handbags. Probably 50-odd.”

Esteban Cortazar will remain at the House of Emanuel Ungaro “for now.”

The 25-year-old head designer – who joined the label in December 2007 when he was just 23 - has no plans to leave, despite recent reports he was unhappy Lindsay Lohan was being lined-up as a design consultant.

Speaking at the Ungaro menswear show, he told WWD: “For now, I am here.”

Ever since Sienna wore them during her boho years, the Gladiator has been returning year after year as a summer staple.

The essential item for laid back cool, this sandal is easy to wear and can be paired with anything from that fashion-forward body con dress to hot to trot harem pants.

These Giuseppe Zanotti’s are the favourite choice for the likes of Victoria Beckham and Nicole Richie and can be found at Net-a-Porter, but with a price tag of £445 not everyone cannot afford to flaunt these lovelies.

Madonna was ‘relaxed and composed’ when she posed naked aged 20.

Photographer Martin Schreiber pictured the pop superstar in 1979 before she became famous, and admits he is unsure whether she enjoyed the experience.

He said: ‘I was teaching nude photography at Parsons school in New York. I needed models for the course - and one day a 20-year-old called Madonna Ciccone showed up. She was just another citizen, a girl trying to make ends meet. She was quiet, taciturn. I’m not sure it was something she enjoyed.

Pregnant Adriana Lima never thought she would become a mother.

The Brazilian supermodel - who is expecting her first child with basketball star husband Marko Jaric this winter - can’t believe how her life has turned out as she used to worry she would never settle down.

She said: ‘I never saw myself being married and having a child. Not because I did not want to. But it’s tough to find somebody.’

Forget Brüno (I’m kidding, I can’t wait for the movie that’s set to take the royal piss out of fashion), but seriously I’m more excited about The September Issue.

To whet our appetites we have an exclusive trailer with a taste of what we can expect from the anticipated documentary. It looks like we’ll have some frank and honest opinions from Nuclear Wintour (did we expect anything less?), plus Andre Leon Talley seems to be on fine form.

I’ve watched the trailer twice already. Obsessed much? Yes, I am and I’m not ashamed to admit it!
