>> As promised, Kenneth Cole's new line, Kenneth Cole Collection, is more luxurious and fashion forward than his main line. One need look no further than the Collection's Fall offering for proof.

The clothing combines a heightened design aesthetic with materials that are about as rich as it gets. Leather jackets are lined with fur collars in both the men's and women's collections, and there's no shortage of pony skin — not just in the handbags and shoes, but also in the garments themselves. That shouldn't come as a surprise; Cole said when he created the line he wanted to make clothes his customers would want to invest in. With a price point that ranges from $400 dresses to $900 outerwear and beyond, that's exactly what it will be.

Take a look at the full collection here — including accessories and menswear.

>> Before Kenneth Cole celebrates the 30th birthday of his eponymous brand next year, he's going to do something he's wanted to do for decades — introduce a line of clothing that's more fashion focused and higher priced than the several lines he already creates.

The new line will be called Kenneth Cole Collection, and it will be in stores in July. Cole is introducing the line to editors and consumers this week but provided customers a sneak peek at the line with a behind-the-scenes video in which he speaks to the collection's ideas. Cole says he wanted to create clothing that people will want to wear longer than a season, and to that end the clothes in the Collection line use more luxurious fabrics and place a greater emphasis on styling. That won't come cheap — WWD reports that while most pieces in the longstanding Kenneth Cole New York line retail between $150 and $450, the Collection line will range from $400 for dresses to $900 and above for outerwear. But for Cole, the whole idea of this line was to create something his customers will want to invest in.

"Nobody empties their closet at the end of every season," Cole says. "We look for very special pieces to complement that which we already own and that which we hope to own. So the collection is meant to be one of those special pieces — or more."

Dressed in a beautiful, white Roberto Cavalli gown, Heidi Klum joined Bar Refaeli, Lindsay Lohan, and an elite group at amfAR's Milano gala last night. The philanthropic celebration signals the start of Milan's Fashion Week and brought out a mix of designers, models, and stars. Guests were entertained with a duet from John Legend and Raphael Saadiq of Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amore." John was accompanied by girlfriend Chrissy Teigen, who watched from the crowd while he auctioned off two private performances that raised nearly $400,000 Euros for AIDS research. Heidi also took the stage to present Kenneth Cole with an award and later dined with friends and her Project Runway costar Nina Garcia. Lindsay Lohan made an appearance and posed for photos with Margherita Missoni and brothers Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared. The fashion world turns its attention to Italy in the upcoming days with Spring 2012 presentations coming down the runway from designers like Missoni, Alberta Ferretti, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana — stay up to date on all the latest trends with our Fashion Week coverage!

Olivia Palermo attended a screening of No Strings Attached in New York City looking not only chic, but totally cozy. She layered up with a leather dress, thick feathered vest, and sleek metallic leather jacket. She added black footless tights and suede booties for even more warmth, then accessorized with a colorful clutch and silk scarf. Her look is the perfect mix of effortless cool and downtown chic.

Gwyneth's cozy fur-collared anorak is a chic way to keep warm and a perfect example of what to wear out when the weather gets chilly. Though we don't get a peek of what she's got on underneath, I'd like to think she's sporting a pretty mini sheath ($80) in a bold hue to contrast with her dark tights and ankle boots ($225).

There's nothing worse than adding a bulky coat to a pretty party ensemble or covering up my sequins with something drab.

There's nothing worse than adding a bulky coat to a pretty party ensemble or covering up my sequins with something drab. If you've ever seen a girl dashing from a festive fete with her North Face zipped up on top and a shimmery hem peaking out from below, you know exactly what I mean. So, when I spied Alessandra Ambrosio sporting a shimmery Roberto Cavalli trench, my eyes lit up. Her snazzy holiday outerwear is just what I'm after to keep things festively chic, even when I'm buttoned up. Now, picture this silky trench with your little silver dress . . .
