Once you've spent around £40 (that equates to at least ten necklaces), drape them round your neck over a black outfit. For those wishing to develop a neck and back problem all of their own, we suggest a visit to Argos to stock up on Elizabeth Duke chains and pendants. Apparently it 'totally' sums up the mood of the season.

This week Grazia, that highbrow magazine, featured the BA Baracus-style gold necklace worn by Madonna at her 50th birthday bash. Mrs Tįor those Material Girl fans who haven't had their fill of Madge news this year, the barrage continues. We can't help wondering if Lagerfeld was the kind of child who hacked off the tails of his My Little Ponies and melted his Sindy dolls. The magazine also asked the designer if he had a favourite teddy as a tot. Frightening."īecause people with a doll collection are less acceptable than those with a soft toy one, presumably … "Bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them … Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection. You'd think a designer would know better, eh? In a winning sales pitch in W magazine, Karl said: A high collar doesn't help the poor teddy's chin-challenged look. He looks identical to the designer apart from a rather weak chin - contrasting with the 'chiselled from rock' projection jutting from the lower half of the real Karl's face. The Karl Lagerfeld Teddy Bear by Steiff wears Lagerfeld's trademark black and white garb plus a pair of shades. We felt all warm and fuzzy when we learned that fashion don Karl Lagerfeld was launching a teddy bear in his own image. For a miniature doll-sized price tag of just £8 you can get access to the exhibition and the after-party. And don't forget to visit the Lady Luck Rules OK booth where they'll make you a Russian doll name necklace.

Skip along to the beauty bar and play parlour games while consuming free tea and cakes served by Viva Cake's roller tea girls. Dress up in your most outrageous doll costume and dance robotically to live rock'n'roll bands.

'The House of Viktor & Rolf' exhibition is hosting a 'Dolls Night Out'. Tonight, a fantastically surreal event will take place at the Barbican in London.
