It was reported last week that the launch of Mrs. Beckham's men's denim line for her label dVb was being pushed back due to sore retailers, but Kitson in L.A.--one of the first stores to carry the jeans--is denying said rumors and saying the line will be available in stores for holiday 2008.  And just when I was starting to revel in the small misfortunes of the Beckhams, they're sitting pretty once again.

Justin Timberlake is not the face of William Rast--he is William Rast.  At least that's what the label wants you to think in their new ad campaign which features photo shoots and short films with the pop superstar personifying the label as the character William Rast.  Supposedly, JT wasn't interested in being the spokesman for the label until he was offered the "role."  I know the boy wowed audience with his performance in The Love Guru and all, but we're hoping the collection says a little more than his acting [WWD]

Project Runway season 5 may be on the brink of premiering, but Christian Siriano certainly won't let you forget him just yet.  He claims he is not only starting a line of hair products called "Fierce Hair," (God, how original) but he is also writing a book about the millions of ways to be, you guessed it, fierce.  With all that in mind, the new season of PR can't come soon enough.

Speaking of Project Runway, a few of the guest judges for this season have been revealed.  Among them, I'm-better-than-Anna-Rachel Zoe, yummy Olympic skater Apollo Ono, and RuPaul! Fab! [The Cut]

For all the politeratti out there, luxury clothing label Charvet has designed two politically telling ties to be sold exclusively at Sak's stores: one with a pattern of donkeys and the other with elephants.  If you're reading this blog, we sure as hell hope you opt for the donkeys.
