John Galliano's hotly anticipated interview with Charlie Rose was broadcast in the States on Wednesday night, and in clips from the hour-long chat, the former Dior designer makes a number of very sobering comments. In the interview, Galliano discusses everything from the suicide of Lee McQueen, which he said he "understood," to his own struggles with addiction and substance abuse. He also apologised for the anti-Semitic remarks he made in March 2011 that led to his dismissal from Dior, and to his eventual stint in rehab, but maintains that he's grateful for the way these events have unfolded. "I have been able to spend some time on myself and understand these emotions that I couldn't express," he said. "This was all bottled up, really, and later on in life, in that state that I found myself in, it came up. I was emotionally, spiritually, physically, mentally bankrupt. I didn't know it, but I had a very big breakdown." The revealing interview joins a profile of the designer in next month's issue of Vanity Fair. A look at the interview, here in the gallery.

A big congratulations goes out to stiletto queen Terry Biviano and husband Anthony Minichiello today — who have announced that they're expecting their first child. The Sydney-based shoe designer has adds glamour to any event she attends; from walking the red carpet or supporting from the sidelines at Sydney Roosters game — so we're excited to see how she handles the sartorial challenges of dressing with-child. Now four months into her pregnancy, the WAG Nation star told OK! magazine that her newly busty shape was the giveaway. "My breasts were the first sign because they were so sore and big but I was feeling fine… I did Fashion Week and I was still fitting into my clothes, but we finally decided to do a pregnancy test because I was late. So we did a test and it came up."

Terry has a penchant for super sleek, all-black, form-fitting pieces and is never seen in anything less than a four inch heel, so we're expecting that the designer will take a leaf out of Victoria Beckham's baby book and stay true to her sophisticated sartorial ways. In honour of Terry's always immaculate style, we've rounded up the mum-to-be's most glamorous looks. Take a peek. . . 

H&M has tapped Parisian designer Isabel Marant for its A/W collaboration — a match-up that seems destined to resonate with both her loyal following and the consumer audience at large. "I am flattered by this collaboration. H&M works with the best designers, and this invitation is an exciting honor," Marant stated. Aside from single-handedly kick-starting the wedge-sneaker revolution, Marant has established herself again and again as an arbiter of cool-girl Parisian style. In as much, her signature mix of urban appeal, bohemian themes, and rock 'n' roll mentality will serve as the core elements of this exclusive H&M line-up. "I aim at creating something real — something women want to wear in their everyday lives — with a certain carefree style. I think this is very Parisian: you dress up but don't pay too much attention to it, and you still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude." Set to debut Nov. 14 in 250 stores worldwide, the collection will feature women's clothing and accessories, as well as a collection for men, a first for Marant. More on the collaboration, including a video interview with the designer, is here in the gallery.

Bridget Hall is the latest supermodel to help Rag & Bone turn the traditional photo shoot on its head. The brand's DIY project — first conceived during Spring 2011 for Rag & Bone/Jean — gives a model (see Miranda Kerr's here!) a digital camera, a bag of clothes, and free license to interpret the spirit of Rag & Bone/Jean in her own way.

"To us, Bridget represents that natural, all-American supermodel," Rag & Bone's Marcus Wainwright said in a statement from the brand. "You can see that she's a cool, down-to-earth girl."

Bridget tapped longtime friend Carin Backoff to photograph her everywhere, from a beach in the Hamptons to an artist's studio in New York City, to capture a series of images where sex appeal cannot be denied. Her source of inspiration? "We listened to everything from Jay-Z and Alabama Shakes," she divulged in a press release. "We had good old bacon cheeseburgers, beer, good wine, good laughs, and just a good time between friends."
