Despite the recession, we continue to find haute couture-inspired fashion quite alluring. Obviously patterned after the sartorial snaps by famous fashion bloggers, such high fashion frocks and styles often attract our attention. Daisy Lowe, the runway model daughter of Pearl Lowe is not shy about working with her mother to promote a new range of value-packed fashion pieces.

Daisy is modeling her mother’s ladylike designs for high street store Peacocks. At the age of just 22 years old, Daisy has become a runway favorite of Chanel, Vivienne Westwood and PPQ. In fact, she’s no newcomer to the fashion spotlight. For her this collection, Daisy was all dolled up for a whimsical fashion shoot that features some very trendy dresses.

Miss Lowe’s latest approach to fashion – modest dresses with high necklines, knee-grazing hems and three-quarter length sleeves –  is a far cry of her usual risqué modeling ensembles. This collection marks mother Pearl’s seventh collection for Peacocks. In it, Daisy looked demure and stunning, and expertly posed to complement the vintage feel and exceptional color of the dresses. She looked regal in one snapshot, in which she wore a stylish and modest purple long-sleeved and knee-length frock.

Pearl’s unique sartorial stamp is evident in the collection, and Daisy models her distinctive creations very well. The hint of retro is exhibited by a mix of Forties daytime cuts with Seventies night-time glamor. Pearl said in an interview: “It boasts a mixture of Sixties and Seventies prints which I’ve combined with my trademark lace and silhouettes to create the perfect eclectic outfit for women of all shapes and sizes.” It is expected that Pearl Lowe’s vintage-inspired, six-piece collection modeled by Daisy will attract more shoppers just like her previously well-received creations for Peacocks.

Although we try to keep up on the latest in fashion – haute couture or not – and follow the tips and ideas set by celebrities, it is hard to be a fashionista on a budget.

That’s why we welcome the uncanny style illustrated by not-so edgy fashion pieces like those from the Beyonce’s latest collection from her clothing line House of Dereon.

The 29-year-old singer gladly modeled the remarkable and trendy new collection. In one photo, she donned smart French knickers and lace thigh-high socks. With her wacky hairstyle and high fashion makeup, she’s got the edgy look down pat. We concede that she’s the perfect model for fashion that’s fierce and fearless.

The House of Dereon clothing brand is set to be launched in the UK next month. That’s good news for her doting fans in the UK who will be delighted to know that the Grammy Award winning artist will be appearing at the Selfridges department store in London for the launch. This iteration of House of Dereon includes pieces that could come straight from Beyonce’s diverse wardrobe, but nothing beats the fact that pieces from the collection reasonably priced, with price tags starting from £80.

In other news, Beyonce is eager to focus on marriage and kids. She told In U.S. Style that after spending her twenties focused on her singing career, she’s ready to start a family. “Now, I’m a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage. I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children,” she said.

So the world’s most famous heiress is serious about her handbag business. Paris Hilton goes international again, this time she went to Manila, Philippines to open her newest handbag store in a Manila mall. Paris, of course, is ecstatic about this.

She said:

“I will be back very soon `coz I love it here. I’ve had the best time.”

Paris spent her day signing bags bought from the Paris Hilton Handbags and Accessories store at her fourth shop in the Philippines, and also posed for pictures with fans.

It’s good to hear Paris so loved and celebrated in the South East Asia, but consider yourself lucky. You don’t have to go all the way to Manila to get one of her gorgeous designs.  We’ve picked out some cute Paris Hilton bags for you.

These days, a news anchor hasn’t officially made it in the business until they become the news themselves. That’s why we were thrilled to hear that one of our favorite hosts, Giuliana Rancic of E! News and The Style Network’s Fashion Police, is planning to launch her own affordable line next year. We’ve always adored Giuliana’s on-air style, and more recently, we’ve gotten a glimpse into her everyday, off-camera wardrobe thanks to her reality series Giuliana & Bill. It turns out she’s just as sleek and glamorous on her days off – and we only wish we could look as fabulous as she does after long flights and long workdays!

Giuliana’s new line is still in production, but we managed to get a few exclusive details just for you. So far, we’ve learned that the first iteration of her still unnamed collection will comprise only 10 to 12 sample dresses and three different handbag styles. We think she’s smart to start small, especially since this is her first attempt at fashion design. Still, we have no doubt that it will be fantastic, judging by Giuliana’s own personal style.

The entire collection is expected to launch in January 2012, but we still aren’t sure she’s nailed down a retailer. Many details will unfold as we get closer to the rumored launch date, but we’re still totally psyched about a potential Giuliana-inspired wardrobe.

The best thing we’ve heard about Giuliana’s line is that no piece costs more than $50! She grew up in a small Maryland town, in a family of Italian immigrants who sacrificed for her and her siblings to go to college, so it’s important to her that her clothing line be affordable and accessible. She seems so down to earth and grounded herself, that we’re sure Giuliana is going to stick to her roots, especially with her first fashion foray.

We can’t wait to see what Giuliana comes up with – and will certainly be interested in checking out her line when it finally hits stores! What do you think about this potential celebrity clothing line?

Back in January of this year, news broke that those krazy Kardashians were planning to launch a mass market line of their own designs through affordable retailer Sears, and it looks like The Kardashian Kollection is finally ready to hit stores! We don’t care how over exposed Kim, Khloe and Kourtney might be – we still can’t get enough of those gorgeous, raven-haired siblings, so we can’t wait to get our hands on some of their latest, budget-friendly pieces! We finally have more details about this top secret Kardashian-Sears collaboration, so keep reading for a preview of the line, which is slated to officially hit stores on Thursday, August 25th.

Fans of the sisters K have been anticipating The Kardashian Kollection for months, and now that the countdown has dwindled to mere days, the suspense is nearly killing every budget savvy fashionista within driving distance of a Sears department store! Although no official promotional photos have been released, we imagine that the line will feature plenty of Kardashian-infused sexy style. We’re picturing lots of black leggings, bedazzled tunics, bandage dresses in rich jewel tones and of course, sky-high platform stilettos. If The Kardashian Kollection delivers on its glittering promises, opulent style will soon be at the fingertips of every gal looking for mega style on a budget!

If you’re like us, and can’t possibly wait until August 25th for the line to hit Sears shelves, we have good news! We just got word that the sisters are hosting an exclusive, 72-hour pre-sale, featuring the first 20 pieces from their collection on August 7th. Starting at midnight, you’ll be able to log onto Sears.com to peruse the first fashionable pieces! The line will launch online, in its entirety on Thursday, August 11th – then finally hit stores on the 25th.

Are you as psyched about The Kardashian Kollection as we are? Have you been counting down the days since they first announced their affordable line?

Few will pretend that The Kardashian Kollection is going to stir the fashion world. However, fans of the Kardashian sisters won’t be disappointed with the selection of highly fashionable items when it goes on sale.

The large-scale retail chain Sears recently announced that The Kardashian Kollection is now available online at a 30 per cent discount in a pre-sale to highlight its launching. The full range of items will go on sale from Thursday and will arrive in 400 of the retailer’s US stores on August 25.

The Kardashian Kollection line bears all the signatures styles of sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney including sky-high platform shoes, figure-hugging dresses and printed pantsuits. The clothing line also includes handbags, Art Deco-inspired cocktail rings and even lingerie. Fit for celebrity style, the Kollection will be displayed in the newly-built high-end boutiques decorated by the famous girls. The three sisters all chose the wallpaper and carpets of their in-store boutiques.

In an interview on Good Morning America, Kim described the venture as a dream come true. The girls, famous as reality TV stars, considered having their own clothing line as an ultimate dream. Kim said fashion is their life. The underlying inspiration of each piece in the collection is glamour and elegance and the free expression of celebrity style for all of their fans.

Since the famous sisters want to emphasize flattering every woman’s figure, the collection includes pieces that are intended for body-conscious buyers. That means most of the pieces are made of comfortable fabric and guaranteed easy to wear creations.

What do you think of this latest Kardashian sisters’ collection for Sears?

Embracing Diddy’s fashion spirit, Sean John dresses men like anybody should: manly. Here are two of our favorite piece from Sean John, available at DrJays.com.

Jay-Z

Yes Rocawear, who knew this clothing line owned by hip hop mogul, Jay-Z would dare to shed its hip hop skin and enter the realm where no hip hop clothing has boldly gone before: the mainstream. The label made such a smooth transition to the mainstream crowd and instead of losing fans, Rocawear garnered new fans from the other side. Why your man should wear Rocawear, Ladies? Because the brand defines casual in a stylish way. Just like Jay-Z. Here are our picks from Rocawear.

Rocawear Pest Shirt, $64

Rocawear Basic Short, $55

Russell Simmons

The hip hop mogul knows more than a thing or two in male fashion. His lines Phat Farm and Argyle Culture have proven his legacy in men’s casual wear with a strong whiff of hip hop air. Not only menswear, Russell Simmons also manages his ex-wife’s clothing line: BabyPhat by Kimora Lee Simmons. Since Kimora’s departure from the brand not so long ago, Baby Phat is still going on strong and in fact stays as one of the strongest ladies streetwear line todate.

T.I.

Many people have doubted rapper T.I. when he decided to launch A King Of Oneself (AKOO) in 2008. Was it going to be another rapper ‘clothing line’ that won’t stand the test of time? Apparently AKOO made all doubts disappear when it still makes great sales even when T.I. is away in jail (the first time as well as the second). Recently the brand even dubbed rapper B.o.B. as its ambassador and as far as menswear is concerned, we strongly believe that AKOO has a great future in the industry.

Justin Timberlake

Enter William Rast, a denim company which comes up with one of the finest cuts in men’s (and women’s) jeans ever. Get your own William Rast, gentlemen (and ladies) and agree with us.

Bono

The leading vocalist of U2 collaborated with his wife and the brilliant two came up with eco-friendly and politically correct clothing line “Edun”. We’re saying Bono knows best what hipster men wear on daily basis, because we’re in LOVE with the rocker look on Edun’s menswear lineup. Check Edun on Forward by Revolve and you’ll see what we mean.

Get your designer gear on, Gents. And Ladies, now you know which celebrity brand is great for your men. Dress ‘em up now!

Summer is here and our friends at Rocawear launched the brand’s newest campaign now, bringing Rocawear closer to the masses.  Great news for us, Ladies, because if you’ve been thinking that Rocawear is a total urban and hip hop clothing brand, this year it’s moving closer to the mainstream.

Jay-Z, owner of Rocawear stated:

“We are a great American brand. We don’t envision ourselves as an urban brand or streetwear brand. We wanted to show people how we’ve evolved and repositioned ourselves, without abandoning our original DNA.”

Rocawear taps artists, musicians, poets and a troupe of fleet-footed double-dutch jumpers to show the brand’s evolution. Regarding the culture that is not anymore segmented, Jay-Z stated:

“It’s all walks of life. When I played the Glastonbury music festival people said a hip-hop artist couldn’t play a rock festival. But culture isn’t segmented like that any more. There’s so much cross-pollinization and the same thing is true for clothes.”

And here are our editors’ picks from Rocawear to brighten up your summer days:

It’s no secret that the Victoria Beckham Collection designs are celebrity favorites. The line’s sleek pencil dresses, chic trousers and slinky silk blouses are on heavy rotation in some of our favorite style stars’ closets – and it doesn’t hurt that Posh Spice herself loves serving as her label’s best advertisement. Season after season, we drool from afar as Jennifer Hudson, Eva Mendes and Kate Winslet strut their perfectly polished selves down red carpets across the globe, all wearing pieces from the Victoria Beckham Collection. But according to some breaking fashion industry news, we won’t have to longingly admire Posh’s amazing designs from a distance anymore, because she’s set to launch a brand new, lower-priced label based on her wildly successful (and chic!) high-end line.

Called Victoria by Victoria Beckham, the more affordable line of dresses is set to launch in Spring 2012, and will encompass simple, comfortable silhouettes that are perfect for casual summer days or Fridays at the office. Victoria spoke to Woman’s Wear Daily about the exciting project and said she focused on creating, “the perfect little summer dress, something fun, something girly, something easy to wear, something that would take you from day through the night.” Based on the preview promotional photos we’ve seen, her new styles do exactly that, and will be flattering on a much wider range of body types than her original Victoria Beckham Collection pieces.

After taking a look at her preliminary designs, we’re totally psyched for Victoria’s latest project, but don’t expect to see her lower-priced styles at your local Target or Macy’s. In fact, rumor is that prices will begin at around $500 – which seems steep, but is a steal compared to the price point of her original line. We think these new, slightly-more-affordable frocks will be great special occasion dresses, and even make great gifts for your most stylish best friends. What do you think of Posh’s latest designs? Will you consider buying a lower-priced Victoria Beckham creation when the line hits stores?

Who says an international pop star-turned multibillionaire athlete’s wife can’t become a blockbuster success in the fashion industry? Victoria Beckham continues to prove her naysayers wrong, parading A-lister after Oscar-winning A-lister down glamorous red carpets in her own designs. Most recently, Jennifer Hudson has taken to Victoria Beckham’s solid color, clingy frocks to highlight her newly toned bod, and we can think of a veritable never-ending list of style stars who consistently choose to wear Victoria Beckham’s line for their events and appearances. But when we spotted film, fashion and beauty icon Kate Winslet looking as elegant as ever in a long-sleeved, black Victoria Beckham Collection gown at the glamorous Yo Dona Awards, held at El Matadero in Madrid, Spain on Tuesday, June 21st, we knew Mrs. Beckham had finally cemented her place in fashion history. We though Kate looked amazing, so keep reading to discover just why we loved her look so much!

Kate has a perfect hourglass figure, so snug, stretchy styles always look fabulous on her. It’s no wonder why Victoria Beckham’s designs are such star favorites – they fit and flatter, and the stretch jersey material is perfect for international travel. Kate’s stunning pick featured a flattering boat neck, dramatic long sleeves and a fierce studded belt accent that added edge to an otherwise simple look. Kate accessorized her pitch-perfect frock with an elegant gold evening clutch by Judith Leiber, and completed her ensemble with a soft, feminine ponytail with plenty of sexy volume.

The secret to wearing a dramatic long-sleeved gown in a dark color without veering into Disney villain territory is to keep your hair, makeup and accessories fun and light. Kate knows exactly what works on her body, and opted to pair her amazing dress with frothy accessories and makeup. We adored her pretty ponytail, and encourage you to try a similar style this summer. Her sparkly, light pink lip color is a perfect pick for a summer soirée or wedding, so take a page out of Kate’s stylebook to avoid looking too severe in the summer heat!
