Twilight fans look out! The men’s biannual fashion mag, AnOther Man is featuring vampire hottie Robert Pattinison on its cover in a heros and villains themed-issue. The issue goes on sale 1^st of October in the UK but in case you cannot get it, DazedDigital has a preview. Inside the feature with photographs by Hedi Silmane, the 23-year-old talks about the pressure of fame, the Twihards (the loyal fans of the saga who border between ardent and crazy) and the craft of acting. Other features in the magazine include an interview with Dennis Hopper and the new John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy.

Fabulous shoe giant Jimmy Choo has unveiled Choo 24/7. It’s a capsule collection of the 28 most classic and popular styles with updated colours and finishes. If you ever had a dream about owning a pair of classic Choos then this is the deal for you. But be warned, these works of art won’t be any cheaper than their counterparts. Jimmy Choo president Tamara Mellon rationalizes that by mentioning “We think of these shoes are investment pieces, timeless pieces, part of a wardrobe that every woman needs.” If the collection goes well, it will be extended to include boots too.

When it comes to faking it, I’m all for confidence, hair colour and eyelashes. Fake bags however put a sour taste in my mouth. So I was thrilled when Vogue UK reported that auction site eBay was ordered to pay damages to LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA for allowing the sale of fake goods. LVMH is a French holding company for the world’s largest luxury conglomerates. This group of 60 plus include Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Givenchy and Marc Jacobs. A French court has ruled that eBay need to cough up 80 000 euros for the sale of fake LVMH fragrances. This is the second time eBay has been forced to pay up. In June of this year, they were ordered to compensate LVMH 38 million euros for similar counterfeit sales.

The celebs were out in full force at New York Fashion Week. Major confusion at the Marc Jacobs show when photographers were torn between taking pictures of the clothes (the obvious choice) or the hoard of celebrities. Perez Hilton wearing a self-designed tee, Madonna, Anna Wintour (with daughter Bea) and Lady Gaga all turned up. Blake Lively and Michelle Trachtenberg, aka Serena and the evil Georgina from Gossip Girl were front row at Diane Von Furstenberg. The sister-duo from Rodarte showed off their swathed, strapped and strewn creatures to the likes of Kirsten Dunst and Natalie Portman.

The Arise African Promise show was held last week Friday at New York Fashion Week. Four designers, including our very own David Tlale, took to the runway to showcase the best of African talent. Models on the ramps included Chanel Iman, Tyson Beckford, Freha Bejah and Coco Rocha. The standout of the show was Jewel by Lisa. Both the NY Post and Women’s Wear Daily praised the collection for its bold colours and urban craftsmanship with an African edge. To see photos of the collections and pouting models, click here.

One of my favourite things about the Vogue UK site is that every day it goes back in time to reveal the juiciest stories in fashion history. September has had some great moments. For instance in 2004, Brazilian glamazon Gisele Bundchen first spoke out about the infamous storming of the Victoria’s Secret show by animal rights activists PETA. In case you missed it, here’s a great video. Apparently the now pregnant model thought she was going to get hurt. In all fairness she did profess to be a huge animal lover and then signed up as the face of Blackglama, a fashion label with a major penchant for fur. Wish PETA had chosen a more appropriate time, though! Also in 2004, Burberry announced that it would not stop making their baseball caps. The iconic plaid caps were favoured by football hooligans, WAGS and chavs was said to greatly bring down the brand and even lead to the headwear being banned in some British pubs.

Could the Birkin have some competition? As far as iconic bags go, hardly. But you can bet there are some fashionistas out there who are dying to get a hold of these bags. If you’re an ardent fan of Marc Jacobs or Karl Lagerfeld, you can now carry your adoration close to your heart. These tote bags are adorned with the faces of the designers as well as the things they are most known for — like the Chanel 2.55 and plaid shorts. Better hurry though, the Karl bag has sold out due to popular demand.

Welcome to the first of a weekly round up of fashion and lifestyle news and views by our undercover blogger Green Eyes!

It’s no news that filming for the sequel of Sex & The City has started. Sarah Jessica Parker has been spotted outside Carrie’s brownstone in an array of designer duds and oddly a green sweatband. Perez Hilton, via InTouch Weekly, is reporting on a whole host of spoilers for the new movie. Click here if you want to read about what happens to Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. If it’s all to be believed, the girls are in for some hectic times.

Fashionistas, media personalities and all the beautiful people descended upon 14 Hope Street last week for the ghd Revelations event. This lucky blogger was able to snag an invite to an event that had people queuing around the block to get inside. Once inside, guests were treated to Krone champers and a walk-through of nine installations of scantily-clad models, performers and stunning set designs. My favourite was writing down my deepest, darkest secret and tying it to a wish tree. Fingers crossed it comes true. To see pictures of the amazing event visit the ghd’s Style Diary Flickr.

Touchline Media and Rodale HQ launched the online website of their latest publication Women’s Health today. The actual magazine will only hit newsstands 21 October. Rumour has it, the editor was only chosen late into the project. Nevertheless the site looks good and has a range of experts dedicated to help woman achieve a healthy lifestyle. Check out the site here.

Vogue UK is reporting that the recent economic downslide is the reason agencies and fashion designers are opting for a more classic, curvier look for their models. This new shift towards the girl-next-door vibe is a ploy by designers and fashion houses to attract the real woman to their stores and clothes. IMG talent scout David Cunningham recognizes the move as a more commercial period in fashion. Also these are the girls the consumer is more likely to relate to rather than the pale-skinned heroin chic of years before.
