Two years ago Kate Moss took her supermodel style to the masses when she collaborated with British affordable chain Topshop. Good news for all the fashionistas couldn’t get enough of her high fashion styles with main street prices. Topshop has announced the extension of the Kate Moss for Topshop collection for another three years–plus the addition of shoes and lingerie. “The last two years have been an exciting experience, and Topshop has given me the perfect platform to develop my own collection, which is something that I have wanted to do for a long time. I am really looking forward to working with the Topshop team on our new collections and thank everybody who already owns a piece of Kate Moss for Topshop!” Kate said in a statement to the press. What’s better is that with the launch of the Topshop US e-commerce site in September and the much-anticipated New York flagsip store opening in March, Kate’s designs will be widely available on this side of the pond.

Good Charlotte’s Joel and Benji Madden are expanding their DCMA Collective lifestyle brand just in time for the holidays, celebrating their new K-DCMA shoe line at their flagship store in L.A. on Saturday night. “We wanted to do shoes for a while,” Joel tells PEOPLE. “We just wanted to find the right company to do it with. K-Swiss is cool. It’s a classic label. And skating, graffiti, rock and roll, those are all the things we do. It’s a good marriage.” The shoes, which come in lace-up sneaker and slip-on styles for both men and women and range from $60 to $70, feature DCMA’s signature prints (think skulls, hearts, lightening bolts) with their brass knuckle logo hardware and printed shoelaces. But they won’t be around for long — only 1,800 pairs of each style will be made. Joel’s girlfriend Nicole Richie tells PEOPLE she’s already a fan. “They go along with the whole DCMA style. I actually have a few pairs,” says Richie, who recently designed her first jewelry line with Mouawad, House of Harlow 1960. “I wear them when I’m not wearing heels.” While the rockers say their shoes are for “anyone,” there are a few celebrities they’d like to get in their kicks. “Russell Crowe, Brad Pitt, Benicio del Toro,” suggests Benji. Adds Joel: “I’d like to see [our friend] Pete Wentz wearing them. ” They already have two satisfied customers — Joel’s 11-month-old daughter Harlow and niece Clementine, who have custom-made baby versions that aren’t available to the public. Says Richie: “They’re really cute!” K-DCMA shoes are available at dcmacollective.com, kswiss.com and select Finish Line stores. –Marisa Laudadio and Brett Malec

The fashion world was abuzz after the Chanel Cruise 2009 collection showing — who else but Karl Lagerfeld would think to make stiletto heels actually lethal? The pistol-heeled shoes were a fashion favorite, but would anyone be brave enough to wear them on the red carpet? Well, Madonna has never shied away from starting a new trend or wearing a bold look, so the Material Girl hit the red carpet of her Filth and Wisdom premiere last night, sponsored by the Cinema Society and Dolce and Gabbana, in the gun-heeled shoes.

Tell us: Do you love Madonna’s heels or hate them?
