When fashionistas like Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and Gigi Hadid model and market a brand's product, it is certainly going to attract a large number of consumers.

And that's exactly what sunglasses brand Illesteva is doing.

They have roped in supermodels who have begun to peddle their must-have sunnies on Instagram.

Although there have been independent designers and vintage product sellers who have tried this strategy earlier, for the first time an established fashion accessory brand is using social media to sell directly.

Want to grab your favourite pair of celebrity shades?

Reality TV personality Kim Kardashian says she wears half of her husband Kanye West's clothes as they are very stylish.

The 35-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star revealed that after she started dating West, her wardrobe completely transformed, reported People magazine.

"I steal his shirts on a daily basis. I pretty much wear half his closet and half mine.

"I've worn button-up shirts with denim looks like one of his t-shirts and I'll put a corset over it," Kim said.

The model said West's fashion sense inspires her a lot but it made her cry once when the 39-year-old rapper discarded all her Louboutins and Rhinestone shoes.

"He sent a stylist over years ago and said, 'You've got to clean out your closet this is embarrassing.

"He (Kanye) really inspires me and has introduced me to a lot of people in fashion that I really respect and like their taste," she said.

Actor Jude Law's 15-year-old daughter Iris Law, has landed her second big spread in a magazine.

Iris, Jude's daughter with ex-wife Sadie Frost, is on the cover of Teen Vogue's September issue, which centers around the theme '#ForGirlsByGirls.'

The teen credits Miu Miu, Gucci and Chanel as her favorite brands saying, "I really like vintage blouses with feminine lace detailing -- I'll usually wear them with black trousers and trainers.

"I also usually have rings on every finger apart from the thumb. Most birthdays or Christmases my dad will get me a ring from Annina Vogel."

Iris also credits her mom -- actress, producer and fashion designer Sadie Frost -- for sparking her passion for fashion.

"I like looking at pictures of my mom when she was around my age and seeing her makeup and little dresses.

"I was always really interested in what she was wearing growing up and did quite creative things with how I dressed myself."

Model Kendall Jenner says she has trypophobia, a phobia of small holes and irregular patterns.

The 20-year-old fashionista revealed via a blog post that she can't look at pancakes or honeycomb as they give her anxiety.

"Anyone who knows me knows that I have really bad trypophobia.

"Trypophobics are afraid of tiny little holes that are in weird patterns. Things that could set me off are pancakes, honeycomb or lotus heads (the worst!).

"It sounds ridiculous but so many people actually have it! I can't even look at little holes -- it gives me the worst anxiety. Who knows what's in there?" Kendall wrote.
