Katy Perry has launches new shoe line
Katy Perry has launched her new range of footwear. The 32-year-old singer joined forces with Global Brands Group Holding Limited earlier this year to work on a range of footwear, and has now launched her line by holding a celebratory brunch, according to Women's Wear Daily. Posting a picture of the 'Chained To The Rhythm' hitmaker with a giant model of one of her shoes, the publication wrote on Instagram yesterday: "Katy Perry celebrated the launch of her footwear collection with an East Day Recovery Brunch. #wwdeye (: @lexieblacklock) (sic)" Previously, Katy claimed she had been working on the fashion range for "three years". Speaking about her designs, the 'Roar' hitmaker said: "[Footwear] was a part of me that needed to be carefully created and developed, and I had to weigh a lot of my options. So for about three years, I was educating myself on the business and [thinking about] who would be a great partner." And the brunette beauty - who is known for her eccentric style - has described her capsule, which features pumps with rabbit detail on the toe, and platform shoes with a cigar heel, as "vibrant, expressive and defining". She explained: "It's vibrant, expressive and defining. "Not everybody is rich, and not everybody is excessive. And everybody has more important things to spend their money on - whether it's their children, or their family or their health. At the end of the day, your personality shouldn't be so expensive to display. "We've learned through manufacturing and science that we can make things [with] better quality that don't take so much time. Applying all of this information makes a better product faster and with more options." Michelle Williams' 2017 Oscars dress took "800 hours of labor" to create. The 36-year-old actress stunned in a Louis Vuitton number at the Oscars earlier this year, and it has now been revealed that the beautiful black and cream gown was made by "a dozen dressmakers" and took a painstaking 800 hours to piece together. An Instagram post uploaded by InStyle magazine shows the 'Manchester By The Sea' actress wearing her dress, and was captioned: "It took 800 hours of labor (by a dozen dressmakers!) to piece together Michelle Williams's @LouisVuitton 2017 Oscars dress. Of course, Vuitton Artistic Director @nicolasghesquiere and her stylist, @KateYoung, were right by her side.

He told the publication: "We liked the combination of velvet, which I think of as a masculine fabric, mixed with the femininity of the tulle embroidered with crystals and pearls. It looks very couture, while at the same time it has a simplicity that is very Parisian." Whilst Michelle's stylist Kate Young said the decision to wear minimal jewellery - which included a bracelet and earrings - came as they felt big diamond necklaces looked "ageing". She added: "Something about those big diamond necklaces looks ageing. I like the idea of a dress looking real, like there's not some security guard waiting in the background to take it right back."
