Virtual high street Atterley Road launches
Atterley Road is a new website which brings together the cream of the British high street and independent designers.

Gilet, £198, Maison Scotch. Polo-neck, £115, and jeans, £130, both Filippa K at atterleyroad.com Love browsing the shops but hate trudging around the high street? Ladies, we give you Atterley Road - not a bricks and mortar thoroughfare as such, but a new website which brings together the cream of high street and boutique designers: think Brit faithfuls Whistles and Hobbs with added continental dash courtesy of hip Euro brands like Iro and By Malene Birger.
"We asked thousands of women what brands they'd like to see on their ideal shopping street - and that is what we've tried to create for them," says founder Katie Starmer-Smith, who punned on the French word for "atelier" to come up with the fictional Atterley Road. "All the brands featured are ones that I love, I buy and I wear."
The idea for the website came about after ex-Jigsaw designer Starmer-Smith's frustrations with the online shopping experience. "I find it overwhelming. Unless you're prepared to trawl dozens of individual sites, I found my options limited to multi-branded sites that offer either cheap, fast fashion or expensive designer."
Atterley Road's tightly edited selection of labels aims to bridge the mid-priced gap between Asos and Net-a-Porter - and it does a pretty good job of that, offering timeless pieces that are the workhorses of every wardrobe. "I have selected styles that are versatile and, more importantly, styles that sit seamlessly alongside each other so that it's easy to piece together key outfits," says Starmer-Smith.
It does a fine job, too, of unearthing some goodies from unexpected sources - a collared horse-print dress with a whiff of Carven about it turned out to be from Hobbs, and going for a reasonable £129, and some slick Equipment-ish shirts turned out to be from the little-known, but no less inferior (although a lot cheaper - prices start at £80) 0039 Italy. Oxford Street, schmoxford Street: we say Atterley Road is the way forward.

Kate Moss impresses Professor Brian Cox with her physics knowledge
When physicist Brian Cox recently met Kate Moss he was impressed to find that the supermodel was more interested in talking about the cosmos than sipping on a cosmo.

Cox, who is a former 'rock star' thanks to his role as keyboardist in Nineties band D:Ream (the original Things Can Only Get Better hitmakers), recently bumped into Kate Moss at a fancy soirée and was blown away by the supermodel's knowledge of quantum physics and matters planetary. Random as it may seem, Cox told the Daily Mail : "Kate was asking me some extraordinarily detailed questions about the universe. She really knows her stuff. She also had some questions from her daughter Lila Grace which were pretty complicated. I was impressed." Whoever said models were airheads, eh?
Hang on, does this mean that nine-year-old Lila Grace has not only got her mother's model genes but she's a budding Einstein too? Could we be seeing Cox and Kate collaborating on a space-themed TV show (whilst both wearing pieces from Christopher Kane's Resort 2011 cosmos-inspired collection preferably)?
Ok, maybe we're getting a little carried away.

Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman on making her directorial debut
She excels in creating fairytale gowns for the red carpet, but now Georgina Chapman, wife of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, is venturing into the film world.
BY Olivia Bergin | 15 August 2012
Photo: GETTY She's dressed the most famous actresses on the planet and is five years into a marriage with film producer Harvey Weinstein, so perhaps its no surprise that Georgina Chapman wants to dip a toe into the movie world.
The designer, who founded label Marchesa in 2004, is teaming up with Canon and director Ron Howard to take part in the first photography-inspired film festival, Project Imaginat10n. Chapman, along with actors Eva Longoria and Jamie Foxx, will direct short films inspired by Canon consumers' photograph submissions. The results will be revealed next year.

The 36-year-old instantly knew she couldn't turn the project down. "What an amazing opportunity to do something like direct a movie and step out of your creative comfort zone and yet do something that is also so familiar at the same time" she told WWD . "I was also just excited to have the chance to direct, which I may never get to do again."

Understandably, Chapman's husband Harvey Weinstein, who was executive producer on films such as The Artist and Inglorious Basterds , is amused by his wife's career diversification. "When I first told him, he laughed," says Chapman. "I'm now waiting for him to come home and say he's going to do his first collection. I'm like, "Come on, then. This is easy, this filmmaking stuff. Now do a collection."

Project Imaginat10n will be based on 10 storytelling elements with 10 films to be produced, five by directors who will be revealed at a later date.
