How about a shoe fitting by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen? It became reality for a number of lucky children in Honduras. The Olsen twins visited the Central American country in order to deliver footwear on behalf of TOMS.
The Olsen's collaborated with the charitable brand and created a line of limited-edition shoes for their label The Row. In honour of their collaboration the actresses-turned-designers brought brand new pairs of shoes TOMS' everyday walking shoes to kids, who could benefit from them, in three different communities outside the city Tegucigalpa.

The actresses partnered with the charitable brand to create a limited-edition line of shoes through their label The Row; in celebration of the collaboration, they brought brand new pairs of TOMS’s everyday walking shoes to needy kids from three different communities outside the city of Tegucigalpa. There was a group of volunteers helping the actresses with the shoe fitting, when they weren't busy with shoes, they visited classrooms and played soccer with locals.

The special TOMS + The Row shoes are made of Italian wool and cashmere blends with lamb leather lining and suede insoles.

David Beckham will release a line of 'bodywear'. The football superstar is collaborating with Swedish store H&M to bring the collection on the market February 2nd, 2012.

David has been working on his collection in his freetime - football player, dad to three boys and a newborn baby girl, and allround superstar. I wonder if he has any free time at all - a deal with H&M solidified his line of bodywear and the collection will be sold in over 1,800 stores.

David says to WWD, "Over the past year, I've been developing my Bodywear range with my team and I'm extremely positive about what we have designed and produced. The final piece in the jigsaw was a retail partner who has the vision and capability to distribute these products globally. In H&M we have found the perfect partner to collaborate with going forward."

I haven't got the faintest idea what 'bodywear' really is - underwear? Tight shirts? Fashion in general? - but I'm sure that lots of men will wear it, if only because there girlfriend by it en masse!

There's talk of a posthumous album, because Amy was working off and on on songs for the past three years. However, something that definitely is ready is Amy's fashion line for Fred Perry.

Amy had a successful collaboration with British label Fred Perry and she told Harper's Bazaar last year, that she had already completed work on future collections up until the autumn/winter 2012 season.

The label released a statement today, "We had a great working and personal relationship with Amy during the design and development of the collaboration. Amy's unique sense of style and attitude pervaded the entire collection. She was a pleasure to work with and will be deeply missed by the entire Fred Perry team." A spokesperson did not confirm if future collections of Amy will make it to the highstreet, merely saying that the company will abide the wishes of Amy's family.


Amy's first range, launched in October 2010, clearly showed her love of the Fifties and referenced her personal, signature style. It featured herringbone miniskirts, tight-fitting polo shirts, gingham skinny trousers and deck-style loafers. When the collaboration was announced, Fred Perry's marketing director Richard Martin said, "She has a unique sense of style that reflects the brand's own historical reference points."
