Fashion News Roundup: Kate Winslet Says Leonardo DiCaprio is ‘Fatter Now,’ Arizona Muse Has a Better Bod Post-Baby, And Anne V Split from Adam Levine

Another Rock Star/Model Couple Is Over: Turns out he will eventually leave this bed: model Anne Vyalitsyna and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine have called it quits. “Adam and I have decided to separate in an amicable and supportive manner,” the Victoria’s Secret stunner says in a statement. Anne must have missed that crucial lesson of model/rockstar relationships: never make a music video with your boyfriend. It will live on as an awkward memento. (See: Stephanie Seymour in “November Rain.”) {People}

Arizona Muse Talks Motherhood and Modeling: Mom haircut be damned! Arizona Muse is still one of the hottest moms on the planet, and she talks to the Telegraph about the challenges faced by a young mother starting in the industry: travel, breastfeeding, and body bounce-back (try not to hate too hard when Muse says she prefers her post-baby bod!).

Maybe you’ve never heard of Vente-Privee, but if you’ve ever visited Gilt Groupe, HauteLook, Rue La La, etc., you know what they do. The French company launched a designer flash sales site back in 2001 (that’s six years before Gilt Groupe and HauteLook) and inspired the launch of Gilt. The firm is a huge player in Europe–they currently boast 13 million users and about $1 billion in yearly sales–but they’ve steered clear of the US. Until now.

This morning, American Express announced a joint partnership with Vente-Privee to launch an American site later on this year. (Each company owns 50% of the venture. And this is VP’s first foray into a non-European market.)
