Victoria Beckham and Marc Jacobs pose together on the way inside to the British Fashion Awards at the Savoy Hotel in London on Monday, November 28th.

Beckham, 37, opted for an elegant long black sleeveless gown with pleated skirt and a draped halter neckline from her own line, Victoria Beckham RTW Fall 2011.

The designer pulled her hair back and chose a smoky eye with pale lip color for a sophisticated look.

Beckham was presented with the Brand of the Year Award by her pal and fellow fashion designer Jacobs.

Accepting the accolade, Beckham teared up and thanked her husband, soccer pro David Beckham, and her family for their support.

“I’m so sorry for crying. I’m being so rubbish,” she told the audience. “I would like to thank the British fashion industry for your support. I’d like to thank my team, you all know who you are, your focus, your creativity, I couldn’t do it without you.”

“My parents, my kids, and my husband. Without David [Beckham] I wouldn’t have had the courage to do what I am doing.”

Beckham later told the press she was “trying to keep it together” but the emotion of the night overwhelmed her.

The totes are available at Brown Thomas luxury department stores in Ireland and proceeds from the sale go to Action Breast Cancer in Ireland.

Who would take the creative helm at Dior has been up in the air since John Galliano was fired in March after video surfaced of the designer on a drunken rant filled with anti-Semitic remarks but one name is emerging as a strong front runner.

Marc Jacobs, who’s contract at Louis Vuitton is set to expire soon, is reportedly in serious talks to take over the brand. This isn’t the first time Jacobs’ name has been tossed about for this post. In the 90s, he was up for the job to succeed Gianfranco Ferré but he lost out to Galliano.

“One source cautioned that a deal with Jacobs is not assured, but that the American designer and Dior management are so far “excited” about the prospect,” WWD is reporting.

“Meetings are scheduled to take place in Paris this week between Dior officials and legal representatives for Jacobs, who is currently in New York preparing for his signature fashion show there,” the source told the publication.

If Jacobs were to leave his current design house, Céline’s Pheobe Philo may be making the jump to Vuitton’s offices.

Givenchy‘s Riccardo Tisci is still considered a contender but many have either turned it down or been passed over by LVMH (the parent company of Dior and Vuitton.)

Haider Ackerman and Hedi Slimane did not get offers but were courted and both Lanvin‘s Alber Elbaz and Balenciaga’s Nicolas Ghesquière did not want to leave their current positions.

Alexander McQueen‘s designer (and Kate Middleton‘s wedding dress designer) Sarah Burton “is said to have rebuffed overtures.”

Galliano’s successor Bill Gaytten is unlikely to get the job after he received negative reviews for his Fall Couture show.

Dakota Fanning is the perfectly “seductive and sweet” face of the newest scent by Marc Jacobs, Oh, Lola.

This new fragrance, which features notes of raspberry, frais des bois, pear, magnolia, vanilla, is styled as a “little sister” to the designer’s Lola.  Which is a bit novel and somewhat confusing, because Lola was intended as an “older sister” to his Daisy perfume.  I guess the family is growing?

This is what Jacobs has to say about his new product:

“We recolored the bottle and changed the juice [...] This Lola is more of a Lolita than a Lola, but we weren’t going to call the fragrance Lolita. Lola is more seductive; Oh, Lola is sensual, but she’s sweeter.”

And on his new model:

“When we were speaking about who to use in the Oh, Lola fragrance ads — I had recently seen ‘The Runaways.’ Dakota was in it, and I know she could be this contemporary Lolita, seductive yet sweet.”

Dakota commented that she was “humbled” to be asked to front the campaign.   Humbled to be asked to pose as a Lolita?  The bottle between her legs just couldn’t be more obvious.

Oh, Lola will launch at Bloomingdale’s this July.

He’s known for unusual choices in models and his quirky ads but Marc Jacobs has outdone himself.

The designer has picked Helena Bonham Carter for his latest muse, celebrity endorsement deal and face of his new advertising campaign. She will star in his new Fall/Winter 2011 – 2012 ads shot by photographer Juergen Teller.

Teller’s photo of Carter in a pink mermaid-like gown with black pillbox hat above, illustrates the perfect pairing this is.

This isn’t the first time the 45 year-old actress has worn Jacobs. Although she often chooses Vivienne Westwood, she opted for a black and white lace dress from Jacobs for the 2011 SAG Awards and looked fabulous (see those photos here.)

Bonham Carter is a brilliant choice for the line because her individuality and sometimes rather odd style picks line up perfectly with Jacob’s sense of aesthetic.

Often criticized for her style (not me, I love her unique take on the stuffy events!) she managed to land on Vanity Fair’s 2010 best dressed list for “exquisite self-expression”.

Lady Gaga and Marc Jacobs together grace the cover of V magazine’s Issue No. 67 – The New York Issue.  Gaga plays the Statue of Liberty in a bra and panties, while Marc, in one of his own tuxes, looks fabulous as always.  Nicola Formichetti styled the shoot by Mario Testino.

Asked about the iconography, the magazine’s editor Stephen Gan said:

“Just as the Statue of Liberty was France’s gift to America, Gaga is, to us, New York’s greatest gift to pop culture and fashion.”

Ahhhh… so that explains the constant hard-on this magazine has for her, this being (at least) her third feature for V, after all.  (See Gaga’s other shoots for V here and here.)

Marc Jacobs likes to push the envelope, but the ad campaign for his new scent, Bang, is pretty crazy even for him.  Marc himself appears in the ads, buck naked, on a bed of silver Mylar, with just a strategically placed bottle of the fragrance hiding hiding his man parts.

Evidently it was all photographer Juergen Teller‘s fault.  Says Marc:

“Once I agreed to be the model, I couldn’t see what I would wear to express this. We tried it with clothes, but it didn’t work. Then Juergen had the idea for the silver Mylar, and it all came together. The silver Mylar also gives it that flash, that bang.”

A little too much bang for some tastes:  a Midwestern version of the ad will show Marc cropped at the shoulders.

Bang’s fragrance notes include

“top notes of black, pink and white peppercorns, a heart of primal masculine woods and a drydown of hypnotic elemi resinoid, aromatic benzoin, vetiver, white moss and patchouli.”

I think these pictures are totally awesome, freakishly space age but simple at the same time.  Sell lots of cologne, Marc!
