Kanye does LV
Kanye West is taking the fashion business seriously - as well as launching his own clothing line, he is set to collaborate with Louis Vuitton. Women's Wear Daily reports that the hip-hop star - who once called The Fresh Prince of Bel Air's Carlton Banks his style icon - will design a line of men's shoes for the luxury French house.
A new scent
Karen Walker stores will be exclusively stocking the new cult Escentric Molecules 02 fragrance. The scent is said to have an almost "pheromonic" effect and pays homage to a single scent ingredient or aroma-chemical, which means the scent unfolds throughout the day. The new fragrances, Molecule 02 and Escentric 02, are clean and clear, and will be available for $215 in August.
