The British brand Burberry plans to stay on top for 2012, with its biggest ever flagship opening on Regent Street. Burberry profits rose 25 per cent to £265.4 million in 2011. Not bad.
Today Burberyy names Gabriella Wilde and Roo Panes as the faces to watch for their new autumn/winter 2012-13 campaign. We say goodbye to last season's faces Cara Delevingne and Eddie Redmayne.

Karl Lagerfeld is FAT!
The Plus Size singers are giving Karl Lagerfeld a mouthful.
Singer Beth Ditto had some choice words for Karl Lagerfeld for calling Adele "a little too fat" earlier this year. "Karl Lagerfeld used to be this really fat, eccentric dude," she said. "To me, only a person who was fat could get away with saying something like that."
So could it be that Karl Lagerfeld is human after all and fat like the rest of us? Touche!
