While we’re still waiting for stylish Brit Victoria Beckham to start rocking Christian Siriano’s designs, the Project Runway winner has teamed up with another English singer to show off his new mini clothing collection for Puma. Shine chanteuse — and Kanye West collaborator — Estelle helped Christian unveil the first item from the fifteen-piece line at her record release party at a Manhattan club last night. Siriano created her distinctive ruffle-neck dress by deconstructing three existing Puma tanks. What’s more, he’s dubbed the R&B artist a muse. He tells PEOPLE, “For me it’s really exciting because it’s great to work with an artist that wants to be more creative and more fashion forward. That’s why I love her. I mean how fabulous is she?” We definitely think the dress is pretty fabulous and can’t wait to see more. Tell us: What do you think of Christian’s dress?

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen headed to Berlin to show off the new collection of her successful Ipanema G2B flip flops. Though her sandal line is already socially conscious — 99% of any surplus material in the production process is recycled and all materials are 100% vegan-friendly — this new collection will also help support water projects in the rain forests of Brazil, the supermodel’s native country. The Ipanema G2B collection consist of 36 different designs for women and girls, which for a shoe-lover like Gisele was critical. She tells the German national newspaper Die Welt, “I’ve never counted [my shoes]. Probably around 100.” Defending women’s love of footwear, she says, “It’s comparable to the way men love cars and watches. But [shoes] are much cheaper, so we can have more of them.” We couldn’t agree more! Add to your own collection by checking out all her sandal styles at ipanemaflipflops.co.uk.
