Designer, Karl Largerfeld revealed his latest designs for the Chanel Cruise 14/15 collection in Dubai.

Karl said he was convinced that Coco Chanel would have loved Dubai and believed it was the perfect place to launch his new collection.

“She would have been fascinated by the Middle East, just as she was fascinated by China and England. Dubai’s a city that rose out of the sea and desert in less than 30 years.”

Karl’s new collection varied in designs from dark colours to bold prints. Largerfeld also seems to be returning to a boho chic look, as some of the models displayed his latest designs of flowing dresses and blouses on the catwalk.

Famous faces were also spotted at the catwalk event with the likes of Dakota Fanning, Tilda Swinton, Vanessa Paradis and Freido Pinto all seen sitting in the front row.

It may seem like the end of the world right now, but there are plenty of reasons why you can be thankful for your latest heartbreak:

The worst is over
Even though you’re convinced you will never be able to overcome this pain, the worst is well and truly over. No more arguments, passive aggressiveness, negotiations and that horrible Facebook changing of your relationship status. It’s all over now.

You’re free
Initially it may not feel like it, but being single is definitely liberating.

You have more time for friends
It’s times like these that you realise who your true friends are. Let’s face it, while you were in your relationship you missed out on a lot, because you were spending so much time with your significant other. Now is the perfect opportunity to forget about your heartache and make up for all of that lost time.

The one
So he wasn’t the one, that’s ok, you now know more than ever what you really need to find in a partner.

Stronger
Cheesy but true. While the beginning of that nasty heartbreak is never nice, you will come out of it a lot stronger than you’ve ever been and of course, with a great fresh perspective.

English model Edie Campbell has been named the new face of Yves Saint Laurent’s new fragrance.

She follows in the footsteps of Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt and our ever- favourite model Kate Moss.

The 24-year-old is very excited about her new role, saying: “I am truly honoured to become ambassadress for Yves Saint Laurent. The brand’s modern vision of beauty is very inspiring and I am particularly proud to represent such an audacious archetype of woman.”

While you may not be familiar with the young beauty, she has been around for a few years after appearing in Vogue at the tender age of 15.  Even editor-in-chief at Vogue Anna Wintour loves the British star, saying: “Edie has the kind of quirky beauty that fashion types can’t help loving.” Now that’s a compliment if we ever heard one!

Edie will be working alongside Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn who are already signed to the fashion house – us jealous? Never…

McBusted star Dougie Poynter is said to be absolutely gutted that his ex-girlfriend Ellie Goulding was snapped looking totally smitten by a hunky fitness instructor.

Ellie is said to be dating Sam Karl, a member of staff at Barry’s Bootcamp in Miami Beach.

The Burn singer was spotted looking head over heels with Sam on a luxury yacht owned by Justin Bieber last week!

Ellie and Sam racked up countless PDAs as they frolicked in the sea together.

Ellie, who previously dated electronic musician Skrillex and War Horse actor Jeremy Irvine, has been single since her romance with pop star Dougie ended this year.

Dougie is said to be struggling to get over Ellie, and is NOT happy that the singer seems to be moving on…and with someone as hot as Sam!

The singer has previously admitted she was determined to stay single after realising she was putting men before everything else in her life.

But that all seemed to go out the window when she saw Sam’s washboard abs.

We can’t blame her!

Most of us have woken up after a night out wanting to jump in a time machine to the moment before we ordered that round of shots, and just go home instead.

And while most of us curse the heavens and yell ‘NEVER AGAIN!’ into the toilet bowl, we always manage to find ourselves back there again.

While there’s nothing wrong with letting your hair down now and again, the latest figure from the World Health Organisation (WHO) have revealed some really scary facts about alcohol.

According to WHO, dangerous alcohol consumption was responsible for 3.3 million deaths worldwide in 2012.

“This actually translates into one death every 10 seconds,” Shekhar Saxena from WHO said.

On average, every person in the world age 15 and older drinks 6.2 liters of pure alcohol a year, according to the report.

However, less than half the world’s population drinks any alcohol, which means people who do, drink an average of around 17 litres of pure alcohol a year.

Scarily, binge drinking among women, including those living in Ireland, is on the rise.

And according to the graph, Ireland ranks in the second highest category of worldwide alcohol consumption, with an average intake of between 10-12.4 litres per person over the age of 15, in 2010.

Prince Harry made the headlines recently for his shock split from long-term girlfriend, Cressida Bonas.

But apparently Harry doesn’t seem too heartbroken over the break-up, as rumours are now surfacing that the Prince hooked up with a local Tennessee girl, two weeks ago.

Harry went to the wedding of his pals, Guy Pelley and Lizzy Wilson with his big brother, William.

While reports suggested that both brothers had a great time at the wedding, Harry may have had too much fun.

One source said that Harry spent the night trying to woo a local Tennessee girl, even trying out some unusual dance moves to grab her attention.

“The girl comes from a wealthy family in Tennessee. There was lots of drinking,”

It seems that Harry was successful, as the socialite spent the night with the prince and has been bragging about it since.

“She stayed overnight. She’s been bragging about it to friends.”

But apparently Harry isn’t keen to jump into a serious relationship just yet, as sources have revealed that it was “just a hook-up” to the Prince.

If your bucket list doesn’t have ‘visit Machu Picchu’ on it then something is amiss.

Located 7,000ft above sea level, this 15th century Inca site (see how we slipped a little bit of history in there…) sits above the Urabamba Valley in Peru and definitely has the wow factor!

This video beautifully shows off one of South America’s most incredible and popular tourist attractions in such a way that you’ll be booking the next flight out of here – well maybe not the next…

Poor Khloe, as it seems wherever she goes, her ex Lamar is sure to follow.

This time it seems that her ex-husband Lamar, was spotted outside the same nightclub, where Khloe was out partying with her new boyfriend, French Montana. Awkward!

It seems, if it wasn’t for French Montana’s security team, she would’ve most definitely had an awkward run in with her ex.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashian’s star then went on to send a cryptic tweet about last night’s events and about how much Lamar had hurt her.

But Khloe quickly moved on from her sad tweet and went on to tweet happy messages to her fans.

We hope Khloe is doing ok, a run in with your ex is never easy.

Selena’s representative has been forced to deny rumours that the 21-year-old singer was pregnant with Justin Bieber’s baby in 2012.

American magazine, In Touch  are currently running the story that Selena Gomez was pregnant with Justin’s child.

A source apparently told the magazine that Selena was pregnant with Justin’s baby and the singer saw it as a sign that her and Justin were meant to be together forever.

“In 2012, she got pregnant and miscarried Justin’s baby. Nothing in her life has been the same since.”

Well, we wonder what Justin would make of this rumour.
