Supermodel Kate Moss is famous for her eclectic sense of style and has been a muse to many of the world's most famous designers. And now she's being paid millions of pounds by popular British chainstore Topshop to design and promote her own label for the store, Kate Moss Topshop.

Kate has an incredible knack for putting together new looks and kick-starting trends, and has designed a collection that encapsulates her ever-changing sense of style. Her collection of pieces channel a bit of bohemia, off-beat grunge and haute couture.

The clothes are similar to items that Kate herself has in her own wardrobe and has been popular with hundreds of women flocking to get the 'Kate Moss' look. Super glam!

Although mostly recognised for his ever-changing name, Sean Combs aka P Diddy is also known for his style.

In 1998 he launched the Sean John clothing line for men. One of the first early music/celebrity fashion ventures, Sean John started as a street-smart solution to urban style, complete with the expected hoodies, hats and T-shirts, but has grown to include pricey designer apparel like suits, outerwear and lots of fur.

Sean Combs has also expanded the collection to include a specialty store jeans line called Blue, and a womenswear line that debuted in 2003.

Combs was nominated for the CFDA Perry Ellis Award for his menswear label, and in 2004, he collected the fashion equivalent of an Oscar for the CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year. Certainly one celeb-designer not to be messed with.

She played tv's most stylish woman in Sex and the City, so it's only natural that Sarah Jessica Parker should design her own fashion range.

But don't expect her collection to be reminicent of Carrie Bradshaw's designer wardrobe. Bitten is a low-price, high-fashion line and nothing costs more than $20. SJP's line is about fashion not being a luxury and it's about fashion being stylish and affordable for all. We love her.
