Fashion News Roundup: Chloë Moretz Is the New Face of Aeropostale, Narciso Rodriguez Launches Accessories, and Adele Records a Special New Album

We figured it was only a matter of time before teen actress and fashion darling Chloë Grace Moretz scored herself an ad campaign: She’s the new brand ambassador for Aéropostale. {Fashionista inbox}

Adele has reportedly hit the recording studio; she’s said to be putting together nursery rhymes to play for her unborn child in the womb. Aww! {Refinery29}
