Would you wear peach and gray together? If you are a trendy girl, you will say “definitely yes”.

Wanna a cute and casual outfit, ladies? Then combine these two colors!

I say that in the most humble way, meaning that I've had every advantage that anyone could possibly have. I had enough money to self-finance. I had a well-known name. I had 20 years of experience working for very big companies with no fear of scale”, he told WWD.
Tom left his post as creative director at YSL to set up his own label in 2004.

Katie Holmes says Kate Moss is her style icon. The 34-year-old actress bases her chic, effortless look on the British supermodel's clothes, as well as model and actress Lauren Hutton and leggy beauty Christy Turlington because they all have "inspiring" taste in fashion.
Asked whose personal style she admires, Katie replied to ELLE magazine: "I love Kate Moss' style and the way she can transform herself.

Gucci go eco
Gucci has created a handbag range using legally produced leather from the Brazilian Amazon.

Right on, Gucci! We  totally approve the idea!
