Stella McCartney is lending her famous face to PETA to launch an anti-leather campaign.

Liv Tyler has worked with Givenchy since 2003, but late last year it was announced that her role as spokesperson was evolving: she would be the voice of a new perfume. And when we say voice, we really mean it: Tyler recorded a cover of the INXS hit “Need You Tonight” as the official song of Givenchy’s forthcoming fragrance Very Irrésistible Givenchy Electric Rose. While the scent isn’t scheduled to hit counters until April, the song is ready for your listening pleasure.

Why do I love my hair colour in the summer but not in the winter? I colour it the same shade all year!

These things considered, it makes sense for your beloved colour to appear lackluster during the cooler months. So how best to combat a dull dye? Brighten your complexion by boosting your shade a few notches. Read more »
