VIVIENNE WESTWOOD is a woman who has more than made her mark on the fashion world since she emerged in the early 1970s and to mark her achievement, a new display - Vivienne Westwood Shoes, An Exhibition 1973 - 2010 - celebrates her contribution to the world of footwear.
The retrospective will show off almost 200 pairs of shoes including the iconic pirate boots from the 1980s and these infamous pair of platforms that saw Naomi Campbell topple over on the catwalk.

THE countdown to London Fashion Week has begun. Following the success of last year's event, Vogue has got anybody who is anybody in fashion on board including retailers such as Alexander McQueen to Zara and everyone in between.

IT doesn't come as much as a surprise but Jennifer Lopez has topped a poll to find the most famous celebrity bum.

SINCE its release earlier this year, Apple's iPad has become this season's - and probably, this year's - must-have gadget.
Never one to miss out on an opportunity, the likes of Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Oscar de la Renta have realised this opens a whole new avenue of branded products. You can see their thinking - anyone splashing out on an iPad is not going to want to risk it getting scratched or damaged

IT'S a mantra we all know - the safest way to get a tan is to fake it, but getting it right can be tricky.
We all have stories of tanning disasters and while it's heartening to know it's not something that affects only us mere mortals - as celebrities such as Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Katie Price and Dale Winton can testify - how do we stop ourselves looking like an Oopma Loompa?

THE long-awaited fashion collection from Dannii Minogue and designer Tabitha Somerset-Webb finally hits the clothing rails today.
Project D was unveiled by the X Factor judge and her friend a couple of months ago and includes a collection of day and evening dresses which will be exclusively available in Selfridges.

FOR most of us mere mortals, the closest we're likely to get to a celebrity hairdresser sorting out our unruly mane is by watching one of those makeover shows - or even worse, being the subject of one of those makeover shows.
However, that could be about to change. John Frieda has got some of the world's leading stylists together to offer half price cuts to raise £1m for new operating theatres at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
