Bye-bye Bundchen

Victoria's Secret and model Gisele Bundchen (right) will part ways after her US$5 million-a-year contract ends later this year. According to Fashion Week Daily, both parties failed to reach an agreement on new financial terms. But fans of the Brazilian needn't despair: she's the new face of Yves Saint Laurent's autumn/winter 2007 advertising campaign.

The price is right

Fans can now own pieces by Yves Saint Laurent without breaking the bank. Designer Stefano Pilati is creating a permanent collection of YSL essentials, entitled Edition 24. Costing a maximum Euro1,000 (HK$10,580), the 50 pieces are due to arrive at individual YSL stores and Lane Crawford next month.

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Mi-tu boutique has installed an interactive 'smart' mirror and fitting room technology developed by researchers at HK Polytechnic University. Customers can hold an item in front of the mirror and a slide show will begin, showing different looks and other items to match. A computer in each room allows customers to select items by pressing a button on the screen, which the staff will bring to the room. Mi-tu is at Shop K-2A, Queensway Plaza, Admiralty.
