H&M's latest Divided Grey range features Alice Dellal in a collection full of urban, grungy pieces. It's very similar to the collection that they did before for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Leather jackets, hooded tops, skinny jeans and maxi skirts are the theme.
He's the King of Chanel. He's reigned there for almost 30 years. He keeps Chanel edgy and fresh. He's the hippest 79 year old on the planet. He's Karl Lagerfeld!

After reading the new Love magazine we realise that he is freaking brilliant for a quote! "When I took over Chanel it was not trendy at all. The owner told me 'As long as it works you can do what you want' "
With Lily Allen in 2009
Karl has done what he wants and it's worked magnificently. He oversees everything about the brand from design, to photography, music, brand ambassadors and those spellbinding catwalk presentations.
His youthful and rebellious outlook can be clearly seen in the grungy and punkish influences that grace his collections.

He's learned from Coco Chanel's mistakes "She killed her reputation in fashion, because she said 'jeans are horrible' and 'miniskirts are disgusting' in the early 60s when the whole world wanted to wear them."

His mother once told him "If you want to talk to me you need to make an effort. You are six and I am not. Either do that or shut up"
"I don't know whether she is proud of what I did. She would often criticise me and tell me she that she thought Sonia Rykiel was much better". Wow! Karl's mum's a hater!

"I don't want to have an intellectual exchange because I am only concerned with my opinion. I don't want to discuss. I am only interested in what I see. I don't talk, I act." The Cruise collection was influenced by Louis XV's mistress Madame du Barry "She was chic and fun and the handsomest woman of her time. She dressed very often as a boy to excite the old king"
Karl believes only in the present "Don't talk about the past or people you knew in the past-that is very boring. What is interesting is now, and it is up to us to find our little niche in now."

Karl had to send a whole range of Chanel bags to patch things up with Adele after this "The thing at the moment is Adele. She is little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice."

The first pair of Dr Martens were made on April Fool's Day in 1960. 50 years later the brand is iconic and getting ever more popular.
A working man's boot in factories until rock stars like The Who changed all that. Punks, grunge bands and now pop stars rock this brand.
They give you an attitude, a toughness and an edge to stop your look from ever getting too girly. Agyness Deyn is the perfect ambassador.
