Drew Barrymore fronts Giles Deacon’s collection for New Look |
 Hollywood actress will be the new face of Gold by Giles collection for the retailer New Look. Barrymore and Deacon reportedly met by chance in an hotel elevator and the actress eventually agreed to be his model. The range, that includes animal print and embroidered skinny jeans, cotton mini dresses and a range of accessories, such as over-sized sunglasses and jewellery, will only be sold at U.K. store New Look.
“I was very specific about high quality in the fabric, cut and design, whilst keeping in line with New Look budgets,” Deacon told Vogue. “I chose to work with New Look because they offered me a continuous relationship, where I'll be designing four ranges each year rather than just a one-off collection,” he added.
“I think it’s quite insulting to think that a person who can’t afford to spend £1,700 on one of our frocks therefore doesn’t understand design. That’s one of the things I liked when we met New Look. They wanted it to be different from whatever else is going on,” Deacon said.

A new fashion label Lalesso is launching summer collection in the UK |
A new fashion label LaLesso is bringing trendy and sexy clothes for the summer season. Interesting is that the company manufactures in Kenya and is using cotton, that is hand washed in the Indian Ocean before being individually handcrafted into Lalesso creations.
The whole summer collection presented by Lalesso (Lalesso is a Kenyan word for the traditional colourful clothes worn by East African women) is romantic and sexy with an emphasis on colour. The collection includes dresses, skirts and bikinis. The clothes are great for summer holidays but everyone who likes bright colours will find the clothes simply irresistible.

Swimwear designer Melissa Odabash to present line of dresses |
 Former model Melissa Odabash, who has been designing swimwear which is worn by Uma Thurman, Helena Christensen and Sarah Jessica Parker, is now moving into designing dresses. The collection of dresses will be available in the Odabash’s first store, which will open in London in April.
“I have always wanted to design dresses and these are great for the summer holidays,” Melissa Odabash told Vogue. “I love lace, I don’t think it dates and it’s a beautiful, delicate fabric. I used a lot of gold, silver and white and one of my favourites is a yellow mini-dress that reminds me of the things my mother used to wear. The lace has a vintage tint and is hand-beaded – it’s absolutely stunning.”
