Yes. That's right. As in the Adam Levine last seen fronting Maroon 5. He's decided, like many pop stars, that a musical career demands some kind of venture into fashion, too.

The most gorgeous things we've seen for some time. The label's autumn/winter collection focuses on vintage toys, including a snakes-and-ladders design and one scarf covered in Victorian hobby-horses, rattles and merry-go-rounds. Sadly, they're available at Barney's, which doesn't ship here. But please, can a kindly UAE buyer take note and order in for next year?
Rumour has it, the Precious star is in talks with Bobbi Brown to launch a make-up line. Here's hoping it's as outrageously flamboyant as the actress herself.

Developed by the British fashion site www.glamour247.com, these are jeans designed with a special waistband that they promise will hold in mens' bellies and help "any man look as if they have lost a few pounds". Seriously?
Uh-oh, its fall from grace continues. The chain has posted losses of between US$5-7 million (Dh18-26m) for the second quarter of this year. Shares have subsequently dropped and the firm has expressed "substantial doubt that the company will be able to continue".
