With fashion week on, there has been no slowing down of fashion news… we can hardly keep up! Here are some snippits of the ones that have caught our eye…

• Love all things Marc Jacobs? Well soon you will be able to buy Marc Jacobs’s Waterford collection of fine china, glassware, flatware, barware, stemware and crystal and glass objects.
• Prince reigns in Milan at the Versace Milan Fashion Week show. The 80s pop icon composed an exclusive soundtrack for Donatella’s Spring 2007 runway show.
• Viktor & Rolf says I do to H&M. And designs a wedding dress that costs less than $350 for the special occasion! So all you brides out there (or Viktor & Rolf fans) better dust off your tents and work out your plan of attack because the duo’s chain store collection will hits H&M stores on November 9th.
• Could it be true that Chloe have finally picked a new designer, almost 10 months after Phoebe Philo resigned in January? WWD have tipped it will be one of Marni’s senior designers, Paolo Melin Anderson. This follows a trend started by Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci who have previously hired designers with low public profiles to head their high profile design houses.
