Stella McCartney, the daughter of ex-Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney, was furious when she spotted her bra being used in a Hockley advertisement, published in Vogue fashion magazine recently and ordered the advert to be dropped.

Stella McCartney, everyone knows, is a very vocal animal rights supporter and strict vegetarian.

Hockley is a high-end London boutique that stocks the world’s best fur designers. In this advert, the model is seen draped in a Hockley full length mink, black and white coat with a price tag of £6,450, over a Stella McCartney bra.

Apparently, Stella McCartney had loaned the bra to a stylist friend who then loaned it to Hockley. Hockley has apologized and said that if they had known that the bra is from Stella McCartney collection, they would not have used it. Hockley has also agreed to drop the advert.

Case closed.

Janet Jackson announced that she is working on a new lingerie line. Oh-oh is that good or bad news? Remember her “wardrobe malfunction” incident? Is there anyone who would want to wear her lingerie and support her sales with her sense of fashion? And I don’t think that it would be anywhere cheap too with her name stitched on her lingerie?

This looks like the trend of many “has been” celebrities to venture into stuff like lingerie, perfume, shoes and other “female” items.

Personally, I am not particularly interested in Janet Jackson’s lingerie designs. Knowing her taste, they would most probably turn out too risqué for my liking. Bah! However, if you are looking forward to Janet Jackson lingerie, you would have to wait till later this year when it is expected to hit stores.
