There’s nothing that we here in the Secret Sales office love more than a bit of hot gossip from the designer clothing world.

And I’m pleased to report that after our piece earlier in the week speculated about whether Lindsay Lohan’s relationship with the Emanuel Ungaro brand was well and truly over, we have finally got some answers.

Just as I suspected, the collaboration between the pair - which in my opinion, is singlehandedly responsible for one of the worst clothing collections I have ever seen - has come to an end.

After Lindsay failed to turn up at the Ungaro autumn/winter 2010 show at Paris Fashion Week, the rumour mill went into overdrive suggesting that the duo have parted ways, after their first collection was branded a monumental flop.

But when the temperamental actress managed to actually show up at this week’s Kenzo show, she was asked why she hadn’t bothered put in an appearance.

"I don’t work for them anymore," she confirmed.

"There’s legal things going on; I can’t really discuss it."

While I am waiting with bated breath to hear the full details, I have to admit that I wouldn’t be surprised if they had sacked her as artistic director - after all, sending models down the catwalk in heart-shaped nipple tassels has to be all kinds of wrong.

This is the latest blow to Lindsay’s foray into the designer clothing world - earlier in the year the star was accused of stealing inspiration for her own 6126 collection from a host of upcoming, young designers. Scandalous!

In my opinion the star’s designing career has definitely hit the dust. Do you think her fashion efforts have been any good?

Clothing designers may not be best known for their ability to create pieces that are particularly practical for we average Joe types.

I mean, I have been extolling the virtues of the final Alexander McQueen collection to all and sundry, but I don’t think any of us here at the Secret Sales office are particularly likely to be nipping out for a pint of milk in a pair of gold-dipped wings anytime soon.

That’s why it’s all the more exciting that the autumn/winter 2010 Stella McCartney collection that was showcased on Monday (March 8th) at Paris Fashion Week included pieces that we could all actually wear.

Sharply tailored, beautifully-cut jackets, chic shift dresses with floaty sleeves and stunning backless cocktail numbers crafted from the softest silk, all made up this totally wearable collection.

Over at Grazia magazine, Siobhan Mallen perfectly summed it up: "McCartney nailed what the modern woman wants to wear right now - luxurious, beautifully-cut clothes that don’t vie with their wearer for attention, yet are not too classic or bland and have a subtle sex appeal."

Stella McCartney has been a personal favourite of mine for many years, not only did I love what she did at Chloe, but I think the passionate anti-fur stance that she takes is something to be applauded.

Well done, Stella!

Do you find that high-fashion designer clothing is sometimes difficult to wear?

Oh dear, it would appear that our little Victoria Beckham has started to get ideas above her station.

While there is absolutely no doubt that her designer clothing collection has attracted the attention of stars far and wide and was embraced by fashionistas both sides of the pond at New York Fashion Week, I don’t think Giorgio Armani is quaking in his boots just yet.

It would appear that Posh is not content with dressing the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez and Demi Moore and has now set her sights on someone with a considerably greater deal of influence.

Yes, fashion followers, it’s true - Victoria wants her next celebrity fan to be none other than Michelle Obama.

"I would love to dress Mrs Obama," she told Fox News. "I just think she’s incredible and she’s a very strong woman and she’s beautiful."

While the first lady can certainly be commended for her style choices from time to time, I’m not too sure she’d look all that comfortable in one of Victoria’s slinky designer dresses.

Can’t you just imagine it now - Victoria and Michelle having a good chinwag in the White House about fashion, while David and Barack thrash out the political issues of the day. Er, perhaps not.

Do you think Michelle Obama would look good in Victoria Beckham designs?

After Alexander McQueen sadly passed away last month there was absolutely no doubt that the iconic clothing designer would go down in the history books as one of the fashion world’s most prominent figures.

And now his last collection, showcased yesterday (March 9th) at Paris Fashion Week, proved exactly why his beautiful creations look set to be remembered forever.

Intricate detailing, dramatic capes and gothic-inspired designs all featured in the breathtaking autumn/winter 2010 line, which in my mind, is one of the most jaw-droppingly stunning lines I have ever seen.

But it would appear I am not the only one who thinks that the clothing designer’s final collection was perhaps his best, as fashion commentators the world over have being hailing the line a success.

Susannah Frankel over at the Independent described it as "heartbreakingly beautiful", adding that it serves as a testament to "one of the greatest talents the fashion industry has known".

Similarly, Suzy Menkes, of the New York Times, called the showcase "a requiem for a great designer".

Earlier this week, McQueen was awarded with a posthumous accolade at the Brit Insurance Design Awards for his spring/summer 2010 collection, with judge and style editor of Grazia magazine Paula Reed calling the late clothing designer "a clear winner".

Do you think Alexander McQueen’s autumn/winter 2010 collection is his best yet?

The ever-fabulous Agyness Deyn is a firm favourite here at Secret Sales HQ - not only does she manage to come up with designer clothing ensembles that many of us can only dream of, but she always seems to put her own unique stamp on every outfit she fashions.

And to be honest it was only a matter of time before she joined the ranks of celebrities such as Kate Moss and Alexa Chung by creating her own clothing line, which is why her recent collaboration with department store Barneys comes as no surprise.

The model’s first 11-piece collection for Barneys Japan - entitled I Am by Agyness Deyn for Barneys Green - was revealed on Tuesday (March 9th) at the store’s Kobe branch.

Featuring leggings, knitwear, dresses, tops and scarves, the line comes as part of Barneys new environmental initiative Go Green Go.

So not only has Agyness managed to produce a fabulous collection to rival that of a top designer, but she is also helping the planet, with proceeds from the clothing line being put towards the planting of trees in Mongolia.

Good on you, Agyness.

The model is the latest celebrity to prove that you can look fabulous while keeping your principles in mind - Emma Watson’s recent ethical clothing collaboration with People Tree has proved a hot favourite with us here at Secret Sales.

Will you be getting your hands on any of Agyness’ collection?
