The Fashion House

The issue hits newsstands tomorrow (I still haven't got my subs copy - boo) and in the meantime there is a behind-the-scenes video that you can watch at elleuk.com.

UPDATE: I've just been sent an exclusive preview of Gwen's interview, conducted by her best friend, Garbage singer Shirley Manson, here are a few of the best bits:

Shirley Manson: You’ve always been very careful about the way you’ve used your body, right?
Gwen Stefani: There are certain artists I think I like, but then all of a sudden the clothes come off and I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? You’ve gotta save that!’ I have this real masculine-feminine thing; I’m not really that sexy – I get all made up and then I like to be a tough girl. I didn’t even wear high heels till I was in my thirties! To me, [stripping off] is so boring. Not to say that I don’t think a sexy picture can’t be beautiful.

SM: Can we talk about your wardrobe? When you moved into your house, I remember coming over. You showed me it and we were literally screaming – you were like a little kid.
GS: I need to clean it out more often – I get attached to things. I keep all my costumes. I have all the amazing Harajuku stuff.

SM: Favourite video outfit?
GS: I love the older stuff – the polka-dot dress in Don’t Speak. I’d had it for years before I wore it in the video. I’d bought it on the road and it had this musty smell that you couldn’t get rid of. And I love the tennis bra in Just a Girl – I get sentimental about those clothes.

Chanel fans, there is definitely something about a chic on a bike.
Keira Knightley — the face of Chanel‘s Coco Mademoiselle fragrance for four years —filmed this advert-movie in Paris.

Dressed in a pale pink-cream motorcycle bodysuit with matching helmet and bike, the 25 year-old British actress kicks up her girl power in her coordinated out fit that mimics the colour of the Coco Mademoiselle fragrance bottle.
The makeup is just as detailed. Pretty flushed cheeks, smouldering eyes and a soft pink pout pop behind a shiny glass face mask — because if you have jetted around Paris on a bike like I have you need to protect your skin.

Filming was shot at Place de la Concorde, one of the biggest public squares in the city of lights, which features a dramatic center fountain and is just west of the Champs-Élysées.

We all love Matthew Williamson's cool eclectic creations, but sadly, his price tags aren't as pleasing. So, you can imagine our excitement when we found out the designer is going to be designing a much more affordable line for Macy's designer capsule collection series. Williamson, who recently launched a beautiful bridal collection, is set to create a 30-piece '70s-inspired bohemian line for the retailer highlighting a bevy of embellished dresses, printed scarves, rompers, and leather and suede jackets priced from $50 to $300.

“The collection aims to capture the essence of the mainline brand, with a focus on effortless glamour; dynamic prints; loosely structured silhouettes, and pops of strong color,” said Williamson. Excited? You know we are. The collection drops in stores and online on April 13. Additionally, Karl Lagerfeld has been announced as Macy's next designer for its capsule collection series.
