Fashion Mogul at Center of Legal Battle
Tory Burch is a name that has become a pillar in the world of luxury fashion, but even though the designer is experiencing a great deal of success now, she had to start somewhere. That “somewhere” was with the help of her ex-husband, Chris Burch, who helped her raise $10 million through investors after initially co-investing their own $2 million to get the label launched. Six years later, the Burches are divorced and Tory’s label is estimated to be worth upward of $2 billion— it’s also at the center of a lawsuit filed by Chris Burch.
She Does WHAT to Her Louboutins?!
Last season saw budget-savvy women getting creative to get the kind luxury fashion look that only Christian Louboutins can achieve. While several ladies painted the soles of their stilettos red, one well-known celebrity did just the opposite. Martha Stewart alters her designer shoes by painting the soles black, and she’s not discreet about her personal fashion taste.

Guess Which Golden Boy is Working it for Adidas?
As if we don’t see him everywhere already, Justin Bieber’s face will now be plastered to billboards everywhere— with a big-name luxury fashion brand attached to it. That’s right: the teen singer with a die-hard fan base is the new face of Adidas’s NEO Label.

Rihanna Gets Personal in November Issue of Vogue
The November issue of luxury fashion magazine Vogue features none other than everyone’s favorite anthem-belting singer, Rihanna. The publication names Rihanna “The Unstoppable Artist,” but inside, the singer discusses how it’s difficult to “be normal,” when living in the limelight, especially when it comes to having a love life. But regardless of her dating woes, Rihanna looks beautiful both on the cover and in the full spread that is largely nature-themed.
