Ed Hardy Designer On His Clothing Line Dedicated to Michael Jackson

PER/ Fame

Designer Christian Audigier has a loyal celeb following for his Ed Hardy clothing line, but he also works with some of Hollywood’s biggest names. He’s currently ironing out details for a clothing line with Jon Gosselin and is busy piecing together items for a line he created with the late Michael Jackson. “I did a collection when Michael was still alive that he was loving,” Audigier tells PEOPLE. “It was a big mix between Liberace and Elvis Presley. I gave him the first catalog and he was just blown away.” The line includes items like a red jacket with Jackson’s portrait on it, a black leather belt with large buckle reading ‘BAD,’ silver socks, silver gloves, and an umbrella. “Michael really wanted me to make an umbrella,” he says, mentioning the kick-off point for Jackson’s planned tour. “I think it was because London is rainy.” There is only one thing that is slowing him down from debuting this new product. He needs approval from Jackson’s estate to release the line. “I’m talking to the estate and trying to get a deal,” says the designer. “I hope they understand I was friends with Michael and this is what I want to do for Michael.” Watch Audigier on Today discussing the line by clicking here. -– Jessica Herndon

To debut their luxe cosmetics brand, The Makeup, Dolce & Gabbana would settle for nothing less than one of Hollywood’s modern muses. And when it came time to launch their new scent Rose The One, they turned again to Scarlett Johansson, and are sharing with PEOPLE.com the sultry star’s print campaign. The actress couldn’t be happier with the appropriately rose-hued results, which were shot by Jean Baptiste Mondino, explaining in a statement that Mondino and designers “capture all of a woman’s graces, our quiet moments. That to me, is what makes this campaign so special, and it feel wonderful to have been a part of the collaboration.” The floral fragrance, which is the final launch in The One trilogy of scents for the Italian designers, will debut next month with prices starting at $60 for a 30 ml eau de parfum spray. Tell us: What do you think of Scarlett’s sexy campaign?

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Clothing Line — for Charity!

She may know how to wow us with a show-stopping premiere-style wardrobe of sky-high heels and body-skimming minidresses, but off the red carpet, Gwyneth Paltrow favors a more laidback approach. That might be why for her first foray into fashion design, the actress is collaborating with Parisian jersey label, ZOEtee’s for the capsule collection appropriately called ZOEtee’s LOVES Gwyneth Paltrow, which we first told you in March. And your wait is almost over to buy from the seven-piece line of easy-to-wear basics, which will launch exclusively at matchesfashion.com on Monday, August 24th. The collection features elegant, monochromatic day-to-evening jersey dresses, mesh studded vests, slouchy jumpsuits, cotton leggings and easy to wear blazers that mix masculine fabrics with a ’70s glam-rock feel in fabrics such as recycled cottons and cashmere blends with prices starting around $165. Although she doesn’t have a lot of design experience behind her, the actress was a natural fit for the label. “Gwyneth knows how to mix basics and give jersey an edge,” says Laure Pariente, Creative Director of ZOEtee’s. And perhaps taking a cue from her activist husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, all proceeds from sales go to Kids Company, one of Paltrow’s favorite charities.
