Celebrity Designers

Brora is one of those staple British brands where luxury meets comfort casual. Yes, their items are a bit of a splurge, but they wear well, last long and always make you feel like you look put together, even when you're just wearing a jumper and leggings. So when Sophie Dahl announced that she has plans to create a capsule collection for Brora, I completely understood this match up. As Sophie is a new mum for the second time who loves to cook and tend to her hubby Jamie Cullum, her life is busy as a bee, but this model still loves her fashion fix.

The line is called The Lost Weekend, and is due out in Brora stores beginning 15 April in conjunction with the brand's 20th anniversary. The Lost Weekend contains a range of 13 pieces inspired by items that Sophie felt were absent in her own wardrobe. They are available in a pale rose, green and grey, Thirties-inspired colour palette. She told VogueUK,

"I imagined it as the-morning-after-the night-before — a woman on an island after a party, walking home with her shoes in her hands. Everything around her quite wild and undone, but she's wearing these quintessentially British-feeling colour tones and patterns. The picture in my head was one of rainy English summers and festivals, being tarted-up and having your make-up running everywhere — that kind of vibe."

Sexy, sporty, and most definitely stylish are all words that I would use to describe David Beckham, so when the news came out today that he (along with Simon Fuller) and Swedish High Street retailer H&M were going to launch The David Beckham Bodywear (aka underwear) range together, the goose bumps on my arm came out in full force. As the face of Armani's underwear collection for four years, the steamy photos of Becks modeling in his skivvies have brought me much manjoyment.

Reportedly, David and H&M have signed a two-year agreement for starters and plan on creating a full collection of undergarments not just underwear. The David Beckham Bodywear range is due out on 2 February in 1,800 H&M stores in 40 countries. A statement was released where David said,

"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."
