40 | January 2012 | woman this month Feature Bringing you a few nuggets of information from the fashionable frontline… FashionNews Bulletins Dolce & Gabbana have made a rather unusual choice when it comes to picking a muse for their upcoming campaign. The brand has used a plethora of A-listers in the past, including Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Madonna. It seems, though, that they have decided to take a slightly different tack for their upcoming campaign. They have gone with Felicity Jones, a little known English actress. She has been around for years, but has only just begun appearing in Hollywood features and still goes relatively unrecognised — not for long! Speaking of the English rose, Dolce & Gabbana say she is, “Representing a heady mix of sensuality, confidence and beauty”. The fashion world moves at an impossibly swift pace. Designers change their aesthetic, their muse, their colour-scheme at the drop of a hat. Models come and go, their weight fluctuates and they pledge their allegiances differently depending on the month or the position of the moon! This January, Woman This Month is bringing you a few bulletins to keep you up-to-date with fashion news. The Little Known Felicity Jones Felicity Jones Rihanna and Armani Hook Up! Rihanna Okay so they aren’t hooking up in any remotely romantic way, so the gossip-mongers can rest easy. Rihanna has agreed to collaborate with Armani on a capsule collection for their secondary lines. Rihanna is known for her fearlessness when it comes to picking her stage ensembles. She is often seen in the latest of designs and baring rather a lot of flesh at the same time. She is bringing some of her fearlessness, but perhaps less of her penchant for revealing skin to her Armani collaboration. “I have always been in awe of Mr. Armani,” she says of the partnership, “Designing a line with him is something I never imagined”. The collection embodies modern streetwear — leopard print T-shirts, drainpipe jeans and leather jackets.
