It's the contrast of the golden studs against the black t-shirt dress and cardigan that seems most powerful; against the stone background they can't help but stand out. But it's the finishing details that always go a long way to creating the effortlessly cool 'off duty model' look.

Lara Stone hair style

For Lara it's the barely there cigarette, catwalk make-up dominating bleached eyebrows and that hair: the most popular of 2010's hairstyles, the side braid.

The military trend continues to explode into fashion pictorials in an understated, utilitarian way. Elle magazine gives us some particularly soft and feminine takes, like this beige trench, vampish red lipstick and 1940's waved hair, which works particularly well.

You've heard of a flash mob... (a whole bunch of people in a public place assemble and do something that would appear random but is actually choreographed - like a huge organised dance routine, supermarket musical, or pillow fight - youtube it if you don't believe me). But what about a flash walk?

The conceptual collision of flashmobs and catwalks, this surprise parade made its way down Melbourne's Flinders Street on Tuesday morning, previewing pieces that we'll soon see at The Spirit of the Black Dress exhibition.

After all the drama behind Lindsay Lohan's short-lived tenure at Emanuel Ungaro, it's nice to see a celebrity do their fashion label justice.

Case in point: Nicole Richie, who reveals the inspiration behind her Winter Kate clothing line from its launch at London's Selfridges, in an exclusive interview with FASHIONAIR.

"I really try to make my clothes very easy and accessible to wear," Richie, clad in a fedora and floaty dress over black tights, says in a video interview with the site.

"I just want to have my clothes be something that people can just throw on."

Not surprisingly, the daughter of Lionel Richie was influenced by music for her collection of boho wear, though something tells us papa wasn't on her iPod.

"Music is a big inspiration to me... Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, The Animals, Fleetwood Mac," she says. "I just am really inspired by that era.

"I love the boldness of colors and prints. I thought it was really important to bring that back with this line."

And what of her own personal style? Richie says she dresses for comfort, and can't live without black tights, which she recommends pairing with summery dresses to make them work for winter.

The mother of two also highlights her collection's printed kimonos and solid camisole staples as some of her favorite pieces.

Now we just need some House of Harlow footwear to go with them!

Meanwhile, get the scoop on Twiggy's new clothing line for HSN.

On the heels of unveiling an online wedding boutique, the powers that be at Net-A-Porter are now launching Sarah Jessica Parker's debut Halston Heritage collection.

The diffusion line, which has already been worn by SJP herself as well as Chloe Sevigny, starts at $195 for a metallic evening clutch and climbs to $895 for a floor-length gown.

Like the main Halston collection, the designs by SJP -- who was brought on to work with the iconic brand in September -- are inspired by the fashion house's archives and the Studio 54 crowd of the late '70s and early '80s, with a modern twist.

This translates to stretch jersey halterneck jumpsuits, heavily draped one-shoulder stretch-jersey caftans, double-layer silk maxi dresses, sequined vests and very disco-worthy little frocks.

The palette goes from black and white to vibrant shades of violet, orange, fuchsia and green, with a smattering of prints.

While the line -- which includes slouchy totes and other bags -- is now available on Net-A-Porter, fans will also be able to see many of the styles worn to perfection in the "Sex and the City 2" movie, out May 28.

In the highly anticipated flick, SJP wears a Halston Heritage drop-waist spaghetti-strap number, an identical version in an ankle-skimming length (for a beach scene) and a sexy white deep-V frock, which is worn on the promotional posters of the movie.

Are you feeling SJP's collection?

Plus, check out another celebrity-designed label at Net-A-Porter.

We think that sometimes this ongoing nudity in fashion trend has us turn a jaded eye towards every pictorial we see. It's also not helped by the ongoing fetish fashion trend. The shoot Sart Sorbet features model Polina Barbasova playing amongst a festival of balloons (yes it's the correct collective noun). Perfectly innocent.

Well... recently a friend recounted to me a message she received in which a man had requested photos of her with balloons. Needless to say she ignored the message, but apparently there's a fetishist subculture even for that. Globophilia it's known as.

What's the latest trend to avoid? Creating anything that resembles a high-end design.

Fendi recently won an impressive $4.7 million dollar judgement against Burlington Coat Factory for continuing to sell fake Fendi bags.

Now, Burberry claims TJX Co., the parent company of discount chains including T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, has been selling counterfeits in mass quantities, Reuters reports.

While millions of discount shoppers thought they were getting a designer steal, the Brit label headed to Manhattan federal court alleging that TJX has sold everything from counterfeit Burberry jackets, photo frames, polo shirts to scarves and luggage, over a span of four years.

According to the complaint, Burberry is hopping mad over TJX's attempt "to attract their target customer base and profit at Burberry's expense."

Not only is the luxury brand asking the court to stop the sale of the allegedly infringing products, but its lawyers are asking for triple damages and that TJX place "corrective advertisements."

From Burberry's courtroom track record, TJX better bring its legal A-game. The company known for its classic trenches recently took home a cool $1.5 million from a trademark infringement suit.

She's not called the Material Girl for nothing!

Madonna has been busy negotiating a bevy of deals on all sorts of new fashion products.

For starters, the pop icon has entered into a joint venture with the Iconix Brand Group -- owners of Candie's, Badgley Mischka and Mossimo, to name a few -- to create MG Icon.

And MG Icon has entered into a license agreement to bring the aptly named Material Girl collection of fast fashion for juniors exclusively to Macy's starting in August.

"We are excited to announce the first in a series of new brands that will be developed under our partnership with Madonna," Iconix CEO and chairman Neil Cole said in a release.

"Material Girl has a powerful retail partner in Macy's, and we look forward to working together for our consumers."

The Material Girl collection was inspired and designed by Madonna, her daughter Lourdes Leon, and the Iconix in-house fashion department.

It will launch in about 200 Macy's stores with clothing as well as footwear, handbags and jewelry; priced from $12 to no more than $40. Expect Material Girl beauty items, fragrances and lifestyle products to follow.

As part of the Macy's deal, the department store chain will have the opportunity to launch additional exclusive brands with MG Icon in the future. May we suggest Blonde Ambition hair products, Girlie Show lingerie, or perhaps Ray of Light home furnishings?

Read what else Macy's has in store for the spring.
