* YOU BEEN SNAP * DESIGNER NEWS. THIS TIME IS FOR KATHARINE HAMNETT" And you thought Bea's hat was bad...Katharine Hamnett accepts her CBE in bizarre red feather creation"

*MKILETEWA HAPA NA FLORA LYIMO DESIGNER* 


Move over Beatrice, there's a new hat in town!
Katharine Hamnett wore another crazy creation by Philip Treacy to accept her CBE today, perhaps even more bizarre than the now infamous head piece worn by Princess Beatrice at the Royal Wedding.
For her meeting with the Queen at Buckingham Palace, Katharine teamed a simple black dress, one of her own designs, with a collection of feathers that hid her face.

Known for her T-shirts designs, Katharine, 63, rose to fame in the 1980's with slogans such as 'Frankie Says' and 'Choose Life'.
The Central Saint Martins graduate admitted that despite usually snubbing awards, she was proud of her achievement.
She said: 'It's quite funny, I'm respectable at last.

Mad Hatter: Was Katherine's head piece meant to hide her face?

Inspiration? The feather creation resembled Simpsons' character Sideshow Bob's hair

Faux-pas: Beatrice sold her Philip Treacy hat after it became an internet sensation"

'I kind of tend to pooh-pooh these kind of things but at the same time it's frightening how nice it is.
'It's seductive. And my friends have been adorable about it.'
Katharine is also known for fronting eco-projects, including a recent collaboration with London department store Selfridges.
The campaign 'Project Ocean' attempts to raise awareness about over fishing and the general state of the oceans.
Hamnett lent her slogan designs for the range of T-shirts made.
Perhaps her hat today - which resembles an octopus - was another attempt to attract attention to the cause.
Princess Beatrice's Treacy hat caught the world's attention as  social networking sites were
inundated with comments and a Facebook group was even started.
Beatrice put the hat up for charity auction on Ebay and raised an astronomical £81,100.
Will Katharine do the same?

Boy, six, killed after fall from grandfather's squalid tower block home

*MKILETEWA HAPA NA FLORA LYIMO DESIGNER* 

• Four people arrested on suspicion of child neglect after tragedy

A boy of six who fell to his death from the eighth floor of a tower block was living in appalling squalor, it was claimed yesterday.
Members of Liam Shackleton’s family were last night being questioned on suspicion of child neglect following the tragedy.
The youngster, described as ‘hyperactive’, plunged from a bedroom window despite it having been fitted with a safety device to prevent children from falling out.

Horror: Neighbours on the estate where little Liam died have spoken about their shock"

He is believed to have clambered up on furniture which was piled up in the room.
Liam and his siblings regularly stayed in their grandfather’s flat and a neighbour was so concerned about the appalling conditions inside he reported them to housing officials.
Police arrested the dead boy’s mother Tanya Shackleton, 28, his grandfather Peter Shackleton, 57, an uncle aged 36, and a 16-year-old girl, who was a family friend.

Emergency services were called to Lindsey Mount, Leeds, at 5.15pm on Tuesday. Liam was pronounced dead after being taken to the nearby Leeds General Infirmary.
Eye witnesses described the traumatic scene when the child fell 90ft on to the concrete pavement.

Investigation: Detectives from West Yorkshire Police examine the window from which Liam Shackleton fell to his death"

Jane Warden, 51, said: ‘I was taking my dog for a walk on the corner when I saw a black rag-like object fall quickly. It was like a black bag or cloth and then I heard a thud.
‘I turned to look properly and there was a little boy on the ground. The image of the little lad is one I’ll never forget. He was laid on his back, with not a scratch on him and no blood. One arm was across his chest and the other was at his side. He had no shoes on, only socks, and his little ankles were crossed over.’
She said Liam’s mother had just returned from the shops and it is possible he may have seen her from the window. Mrs Shackleton was at her son’s side within seconds and was crying hysterically.

Liam was one of four siblings aged between five and ten. He and his elder sister Tiffany, ten, were with their mother and staying with their grandfather.
Liam’s father Martin, 34, was with the other two children – Rhys, five, and James, eight – and staying with relatives in Great Yarmouth.
Choking back tears, Martin Shackleton said his son suffered from attention defecit hyperactivity disorder. He said: ‘He was always climbing. I am in pieces.’

A neighbour said the youngster often stayed with his grandfather, who lived in squalor.
Ako Hussain, 25, said he had asked officials to investigate the appalling conditions inside the flat eight days ago.
He said: ‘The flat was completely destroyed. It stank and was very messy. The door was broken, there were wet clothes, cups, dishes and rubbish strewn across the floor. I couldn’t understand how anyone could live like that.’
Until six weeks ago the Shackleton family had been living half-a-mile away in a rented terraced house. The £700 a month rent was paid from benefits.
Agent Shahid Razaq, 34, said they vanished without warning, owing rent and left the property in an appalling condition. He said: ‘It was left worse than a pigsty.’

'Plus-size is a word we need to bury': Queen Latifah on why her HSN clothing line will be catering to all body shapes

*MKILETEWA HAPA NA FLORA LYIMO DESIGNER*

For all sizes: Queen Latifah modelled designs from her new collection for HSN in New York last week"

As someone who herself has struggled with her weight, Queen Latifah knows exactly how it feels to be labelled plus-size.
So for her own fashion collection, which she is launching on the Home Shopping Network later this summer, will have no such definition.
In an interview announcing the launch of her Queen line she explained that she wanted to create something that represented all women.
She told WWD: 'I wanted to make something size two and up.
'The truth is, we all would like to wear the same clothes. We all want to wear beautiful, fly clothes no matter what size you are, and so for me it was important to match with a company that understood and respected that ideal.'
Of the term 'plus-size' she said: 'It is a word we need to bury at this point. It’s for all sizes.'
The singer and actress, 41, admitted that the reason she had not agreed to collaborate on a collection in the past was not for lack of opportunity.
'I felt like larger girls were not respected, even though we are huge consumers,' she explained.
'I felt the marketplace didn’t respect us in the way it should. I was not going to step out with a clothing line that didn’t respect a fuller-figured woman or a curvaceous woman, and really all women.'
Indeed the so-called plus-size market, which caters to women of a U.S. size 12 and up, represents 16 per cent of the country's $107.3 billion clothing industry.
She named Donna Karan and Marina Rinaldi among her top designers, but even some of her favourite labels, she revealed, did not offer as many sizes as she would like to see available.
'I love Ralph Lauren, just as a designer,' she said. 'I still think he could make some better sizes with his clothes, but I like the idea of his classic American style.'
The Queen collection, which launches on August 27, will be rather more accessibly priced, with all clothing under $100.
And designs really do promise a flattering fit for all body shapes, with softly-draped dresses and waterfall-neck jackets to jeans that unzip at the ankle and versatile knitted ponchos.
'I want to make clothing that I would wear myself,' she told the trade title. 'If the clothes are good enough for me, I think they are going to be good enough for everyone else.'

She has also designed accessories, including handbags and even clip-in hair extensions, which will command higher prices of up to $300.

Versatile: Designs promise a flattering fit for all body shapes, with softly-draped dresses and knitted ponchos"

If the HSN debut proves successful she added that it could pave the way for a complete lifestyle brand.
'We will build this into what I hope to be a huge brand franchise, with things that I discovered throughout the world,' she said.
'Whether it’s beautiful candles or a perfume… It’s bringing it all under the same umbrella to make it something that is, really, a lot of fun.'

Accessible: The Queen collection, launches on HSN on August 27, with all clothing priced under $100"

High standards: The star explained that she designed clothing and accessories she herself would buy"

How not to look classy! TOWIE's Lydia Bright wears Kate's dress but looks less than stylish

*MKILETEWA HAPA NA FLORA LYIMO DESIGNER* 
Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge turned heads in her £175 beige Reiss dress last week but when Lydia Bright tried to recreate the same ensemble today, she did not quite pull off the look.
The Only Way Is Essex star was spotted strutting into a London office with a Selfridges bag in tow, wearing the same high street dress as Kate.
But instead of displaying a classic royal style, Lydia’s ill-fitting dress was not flattering and the Essex girl even had VPL.

Not classy! Lydia Bright tried to recreate the same ensemble as Kate today, she did not quite pull off the look"

Just like Kate, she also paired the above-the-knee number with black heels but Lydia’s clunky shoes were anything but dainty.

The camel-coloured ‘Shola’ design is from one of the Duchess’s favourite brands and she wore the Reiss frock to meet Barack and Michelle Obama during their UK visit last week.
After the new bride showed off her impeccable figure in the design, the fashion chain’s website crashed and the dress sold out within 24 hours.

At least the handbag's different! Lydia wears the same Reiss dress and black heels like Kate but carries a different bag

VPL: Lydia was displaying visible panty line through the dress as we caught a glimpse of her underwear"

Obviously Lydia was one of the women to flock to the site to quickly grab herself the same dress.
After the mania, it was advertised on eBay for £600 and a £30 copy is being prepared by Tesco.
Reiss then announced that the dress will be re-released in five to six weeks to cater for the demand.

Special occasion: Kate wore her Reiss dress last week while meeting Michelle Obama (right) and President Obama"

But after more investigation into the British fashion chain, it was found that the original Reiss dress was manufactured by women paid only 99p an hour in a poor suburb of Romania’s capital.
It was produced for less than £15 by seamstresses earning significantly less than the average salary for textile workers in the Eastern European nation.
The 170 employees of clothing firm Rimcor Ex work in a factory which resembles an industrial compound with bars on the windows, 8ft walls and solid metal fences.

Bikini collection: Lydia Bright on holiday in Marbella over the past week showing off her bikini body"

But the average high street shopper is no doubt blissfully unaware of how their favourite dresses find their way onto the shelves.
Lydia Bright was back in London after her recent trip to Marbella, Spain, with the rest of her cast-mates from The Only Way Is Essex.
And despite her underwear being on show through the ill-fitting dress, her holiday tan did suit the beige frock nicely.

FROCK-OFF: HOW KATE WON THE SHOLA STYLE WAR

If you're going to buy a new dress, it's probably not the brightest idea to choose the same one that the new Duchess of Cambridge just wowed the world in.

So poor TOWIE star Lydia proved she was Bright only in name when she stepped out today in Reiss's Shola design.

Here, we look at how Kate managed to pull it off so well - and where Lydia went so very wrong...

• Kate has the slender build of a model, so the pleated detail of the dress stands out
• Kate has likely just slipped the dress on, so it is in pristine condition. It's not too tight, preventing creases
• A super-simple black clutch and pointed courts help keep the whole look sophisticated
• A necklace high on the collar adds just enough drama

• Lydia is lucky to have curves, but they distort the elegant pleats and folds of the dress
• The TOWIE star's dress has become creased during the day - this isn't helped by the fact that it is a size too small
• Towering platform shoes cheapen the dress, and her bag is the wrong shade of beige
• The bold beads are too much fuss on a busy bustline

* YOU BEEN SNAP * 'I haven't seen anything like that since I dated 50 Cent': Chelsea Handler makes a VERY crude joke about former flame"

*MKILETEWA HAPA NA FLORA LYIMO DESIGNER* 
For months, Chelsea Handler kept quiet about her romance with 50 Cent.
But now the short-lived romance is over, she just couldn't resist making reference to it on her talk show.
The comedian, notorious for her crude humour, made a rather vulgar joke about her former flame after her guest, animal trainer Donald Schultz, brought a huge python onto her show.

OM 50 CENT" AHAHHAAAAA. MBUTA NANGA!!

Late night fright: Chelsea Handler was not pleased to see a slithery guest on the set of her talk show yesterday"

As she cowered in fear from a giant snake, she quipped: 'I haven't seen anything like that since I dated 50 Cent.'
She jumped off her seat, she said: 'That is so disgusting - get it away from me. I can't stand everything about them.'
Schultz also brought on a Siberian Lynx, which Handler was more receptive to.
The 36-year-old only admitted to her relationship with the rapper earlier this month.
'We dated, very casually,' E! network TV host told Piers Morgan while promoting her new book  Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me.

Scared: Handler jumped out of her chair as animal trainer Donald Schultz talked about the python"

'He's a very sweet, nice guy... I was sampling, kind of, the atmosphere, seeing what was out there, and I was satiated.'
She continued: 'He's a great guy... he's the complete antithesis of what you'd imagine. He's a sweetheart, he's great, he's funny, he has a great sense of humour.'
The pair refused to confirm they were dating each other last year, but she did regularly tease fans with pictures and comments that fuelled the rumours.

Former flame: Chelsea with her ex 50 in October last year"

At one point, Handler tweeted: 'I don't know why anyone thinks I would ever date a rapper,' while posting a photo of the two in bed.
Handler is said to have dumped the rapper late last year and insiders claimed the he sent her gifts to win her back but Handler returned them with a note that said: 'I can buy my own gifts.'
When quizzed about those rumours by Morgan, Handler responded: 'I don’t like when men buy me ridiculous gifts and I don’t know them well, I can buy my own gifts.'
Handler was in a relationship with Ted Harbert, CEO of Comcast Entertainment, from 2006 to 2010 before dating Animal Planet star, Dave Salmoni in 2010.
Handler is now dating hotelier Andre Balazs, who is Uma Thurman's ex.
