United Nations Goodwill Ambassador and A-list Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is jumping on the celeb fashion designer bandwagon with her new line of jewelry.

Late last week, The Cut reported (via Elle) that Designer and Project Runway Judge Michael Kors said no one cares about pre-fall collections because the name “pre-fall†is unappealing, whereas its inter-season counterpart, resort, has become more popular of late because the name “resort†sounds nice.

Critics were unimpressed with Burberry’s Spring 2011 collection, which debuted in London this week. The general consensus is that designer Christopher Bailey has turned out a cheap, passé, biker-chic look that was worsened by the extremely spiky heels that several models had to remove before the end of the show and led to one model’s tumble on the catwalk.
The fashion business being what it is (and by “what it is,†we mean obsessively terrified of the Internet and of the firm belief that if everyone ignores it, it will go away), the other general consensus is that Burberry produced a sub-par collection because the label was too focused on its online push and embrace of Internet business tools to create a high quality, inspired line.
