Charlene Wittstock has chosen Giorgio Armani to design her dress for her wedding to Monaco’s Prince Albert II.

“Yes, I want to declare, I will make the wedding dress,” Armani confirmed to reporters after his fashion show in Milan on Sunday.

Former Olympic swimmer Charlene attended Armani’s shows in Italy in 2008 and 2009 and often wears the designer’s clothes to events.

The official engagement photos of Prince William and Kate Middleton released on December 12 caused a flurry of media interest.

Of particular interest was the white Reiss dress that Middleton wore. Capitalizing on the frenzy, the label announced on Monday that it will re-release the dress.

The “Nannette” dress, which retails for $325, will re-launch in stores next month.

The simple, belted number with a ruffle detail across the front is actually from the fall 2010 collection, so it can no longer be found at any Reiss boutique.

Fashionistas swarmed H&M’s Champs Elysees flagship store Tuesday, after queuing through the night to get their hands on a party dress from Lanvin’s limited edition collection for the budget chain.

The line by Lanvin’s Israeli designer Alber Elbaz went on sale in 200 H&M stores worldwide after a pre-launch Saturday in North America,.

“It’s Lanvin — that’s reason enough to wait more than 10 hours, asleep on our feet,” said Dasol Kang, from South Korea, one of the hundreds of customers who pressed through the doors of the Paris store when they opened at 8:00 am.

Macy’s has released the first images of pop star Madonna and her daughter Lourdes’s first fashion range for the US department store, called Material Girl.

Judging from the sketches, there will mainly be 1980s-inspired clothes, including flowery bustier dresses, fingerless gloves, star prints, and ‘jeggings.’

The new line relies on mixing unexpected items, “like a tutu dress and studded-combat boots, or an oversized boyfriend sweatshirt with a floral print miniskirt.”

The Telegraph reported that Marilyn Monroe’s dress worn in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes during her performance of the song “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” topped its expected price of $150,000-$250,000.

Fashion designer Jad Ghandour and Danasha Luxury are set to unveil a luxury dress valued at $1.5 million during Miami International Fashion Week.

The couture dress will incorporate diamonds and gold as well as other fine materials and precious gems.

The luxury dress is set to be worn down the runway by a celebrity model on March 20, but until then it’s in the safe hands of two armed security guards.
