When Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen first launched their mens collection for Elizabeth and James, we knew it was only a matter of time before Hollywood’s sexiest guys caught on. And it didn’t take long! Elizabeth and James for Men has been popping up all over Gossip Girl. Just this week, Dan Humphrey (played by Penn Badgley) wore the Elizabeth and James Easy V Cashmere Sweater during his now infamous threesome scene. And that wasn’t the first time Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s designs landed in the steamy television show. Dan wore two Elizabeth and James designs the week before the threesome, and last month Chuck Bass (played by Ed Westwick) sported an Elizabeth and James suit. Looks like Gossip Girl’s heartthrobs have found a brand they can depend on!

Emanuel Ungaro, founder of the fashion house which still bears his name, has publicly criticized Lindsay Lohan’s recent collection, European newspapers report. On Monday evening, according to the Agence French Presse, the 76-year old Ungaro told an audience at the Estoril film festival in Lisbon, Portugal on Monday, that the collection on which Lohan served as fashion consultant “was a disaster.” The venerable designer continued, “I’m furious but there isn’t a thing I can do. I have absolutely no link with that house,” added Ungaro who sold his house to an investment fund in 2005. Lohan, 23, was announced as Artistic Advisor to the house in September and, less than a month later, presented her first collection designed in collaboration with Estrella Archs, who herself had only been named as the house’s designer at the end of July. At its showing in October, the Lohan/Archs collaboration was trashed by many critics, while the company itself supported their work, telling PEOPLE at the time of the designing duo, “This is a fashion couple.” According to reports, Ungaro told his audience that the house which bears his name was “well on its way to “losing its soul.” Ungaro explained, “This happens to a lot of designers. We were creator/owners, responsible for both the designs of the house and its destiny. But when you give up your house, we’ve also given up our soul.” –Peter Mikelbank

Lady Gaga may have gotten the internet buzzing with her over-the-top high fashion picks, from Alexander McQueen to Agent Provocateur, in her new video “Bad Romance,” but we’re the most interested in her new accessory that she debuted in the high-concept clip — her very own Heartbeats by Lady Gaga headphones. The high-tech fashion headphones are the newest addition to the Beats by Dr. Dre headphone collection from Monster. Gaga, who oversaw the design of the jewel-inspired in-ear headphones, explained the driving force behind the launch. “In the deepest hour of the night, I confess to myself three things; I would die if I was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion,” she said, in a release. “Heartbeats embody the trinity of my human being, with one additional vow: that sound matters.” The high-performance headphones were designed to look as good as they sound–playing double-duty as a fashion accessory. Heartbeats are available in three styles: metal with a rose red jewel-shaped earpiece, metal with a chrome jewel-shaped earpiece and black-on-black body and jewel-shaped earpiece. Preorder your own for $100 (from the original $120) at Amazon.com.–Kristin Larson

The star, who has teamed up with her stylist Jeanne Yang to design a high-end women’s and children’s clothing line, stepped out in Boston this weekend in a red-hot dress from her Holmes & Yang line. While we have seen Katie rocking her own designs on the red carpet, first for the Tropic of Thunder movie premiere and then at her Broadway debut, this is our first peek at her children’s line — and who better to show it off than her equally fashionable daughter Suri Cruise?

Courteney Cox and David Arquette have headed back to the design studio just in time for the holidays. The husband-and-wife design team have been working with Satya Jewelry since 2007 on a collection of butterfly-inspired jewels to benefit the EB Medical Research Foundation, a cause close to the Arquettes’ hearts. “There is a beautiful child named Brendon, the son of one of our dear friends, Andrea Pett Joseph, who was born with Epidermolysis Bullosa or EB [a rare skin disease],” David tells Vogue.com. “We were not aware of the condition until it affected us personally but, of course, once we got to know this incredible child we wanted to do whatever we could to help.” Since the launch of their EB jewelry collection, the Arquettes and Satya Jewelry have raised over $200,000 to benefit EBMRF. For this upcoming holiday season, David and Courteney have added three new pieces to their collection, including a new butterfly pendant, a new “hope” pendant and an onyx, blue topaz and turquoise bracelet with a sterling silver charm. The collection ranges from $38-$68, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the EBMRF. Click here to shop Courteney and David’s EB collection for Satya Jewelry.

Nicole Richie’s new contemporary clothing line Winter Kate doesn’t debut until February but she’s already got one customer lined up: boyfriend Joel Madden. “Her clothing line is what she wears — bohemian rock and roll, hippie, sexy and comfortable clothes for women. It’s cool, but it’s not forced.” And he’s not just a fan of the line. “I love Nicole’s style. She’s the coolest person I’ve ever met, and she doesn’t try at all,” he told PEOPLE recently as Nicole listened on with a proud smile, “Thanks, honey!” she replied. “I designed everything and picked the materials and prints. I put my heart and soul into it.” Read more about the line, which is named after the couple’s 21-month old daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden, here.–Lisa Ingrassia
