There is new fashion film in the works. Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank bought the rights for the film version of the best-selling book, French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure. 

French author Mireille Guiliano’s 2004 book sold over 2 million copies worldwide. Guiliano is the former head of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton’s Veuve Clicquot. She is very familiar with French designer labels which are expected to fill the screen.

Karl Lagerfeld has gotten all warm and fuzzy with a soon to be released $1,500 Teddy Bear.

The 2,500 limited-edition collectable bears an intentional resemblance (no pun intended) to his iconic style and features his signature sunglasses, high collared shirt, and tight jeans. W Magazine called the miniature bear. ..."lethally chic and yet totally endearing."
