Fashion mogul threatens to sell her dog after it destroys $500 luxury item

Daily Mail​5 days ago

Fashion mogul Effie Kats has jokingly threatened to sell her dog after the pooch destroyed one of her handbags.
The 34-year-old took to social media on Wednesday to share a video of the damage, revealing a large hole chewed into her $495 clutch from The Concept.
Clearly unimpressed, Kats joked in the caption: 'Anyone after a one-year-old Samoyed?'
Effie also shared a photo of her dog looking at the camera, along with the caption: 'The look of guilt'.
Effie is a popular Melbourne designer who dresses the likes of Nadia Bartel, Carrie Bickmore and Rebecca Judd.

In November 2023, she walked down the aisle with her finance broker fiancé James Cerolini in Melbourne.
The pair married in a lavish ceremony at St Patrick's Cathedral and held her opulent reception at State Library Victoria.
She stunned in an elaborate, semi-sheer lace gown by Zuhair Murad, which she acquired after making trips to Paris for fittings.
Effie later changed into a second dress for her reception, this time from local designer Alin Le'kal.
It was no small affair, with 260 in attendance on the star-studded guest list, including Nadia, Bec , Khanh Ong, Jessie Murphy and Lana Wilkinson.
Women were asked to wear black or gold to what was described as an elegant affair.
The founder of the Effie Kats and Bayse brands said the wedding,'exceeded every expectation I had'.
She told the Herald Sun: 'Every part of it just blew my mind. It was great. I had a wedding planner, Valentina, I could not have done it without her.
'There were small hiccups along the way, but it was the perfect day.'
The society couple became engaged in 2021 during lockdown, giving Effie lots of time to plan her big day.
'I've attended so many events and we want to create something spectacular for our guests,' she told Confidential.
'It's on Stakes Day and Remembrance Day so it'll add to an already insane schedule.'
Effie had at first decided to organise the event herself without the help of a wedding planner, but later changed her mind.
Around the time of their engagement, Effie and James purchased a home in Melbourne's Malvern.
The 'rundown' three bedroom property, which cost $1.65 million, is a fixer-upper project for the pair.
'We wanted a house in the right location with some character, that needed a lot of love' Effie told news.com.au.
Effie is a beloved Australian designer whose clothing has been seen on A-list clients like Dannii Minogue, Kelly Rowland, Carrie Bickmore and DJ Havana Brown.

Inside DJ Fat Tony's star-studded wedding to Stavros Agapiou complete with flamboyant Greek dancing, gospel music, A-list guests and romantic touches

When DJ Fat Tony wed Stavros Agapiou at their star-studded nuptials last month the extravagance and attention to detail was clear for all to see. Tony, 58, and Stavros, 32, who have been engaged since October 2023, made it official at the Welsh Chapel in Charing Cross (formerly the Limelight nightclub), before heading to the swanky Londoner Hotel for the glitzy reception. And no expense was spared for their special day as they treated their guests to flamboyant Greek dancing, drag acts and even gospel music. The wedding attracted some big names too including the likes of Gemma Collins, Davina McCall, Coronation Street 's Claire Sweeney and Kelly Osbourne. Tony had carefully picked the 19th-century church where he began his career when he was just 18. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Soho venue was a favourite spot for Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, George Michael and Bob Geldof. For the blessing Tony and Stavros Dior Homme suits while The King's Voices choir gave gospel renditions of I'll Be Loving You Always, Higher and Higher and You Got the Love. Even the couple's dogs were in attendance as ring bearers as they wore special wedding outfits themselves. Tony was also surprised with an unlikely wedding cake as he danced the night away with his new husband. In snaps shared by Tony's pals on social media, it was revealed that the wedding cake was far from an understated affair, with each layer boasting letters which spelt out the word 'c**t.' Another snap showed the pair flaunting their best dance moves at the reception after exchanging their vows. Following the ceremony, Tony also took to the stage alongside his new husband to thank the guests in attendance, with the stunning venue decorated with white roses for the occasion. Claire and Boy George were ready to party the night away For his special day, Tony was among the first to arrive at the chapel and was joined by singer Boy George as he prepared to exchange vows with his partner Stavros. The renowned music star, real name Tony Marnach, cut a very dapper figure in an all-black suit featuring a silver brooch. Stavros arrived not long after Tony, and opted for an all-white look, which was made up of a blazer, waistcoat and quirky shorts. Davina McCall turned heads in a bright orange mini dress as she arrived to the chapel holding hands with her partner Michael Douglas. Kelly Osbourne opted for a black sleeveless dress while her locks were styled into a sleek bun for the day. Others in attendance included EastEnders stars Patsy Palmer and Jessie Wallace and fellow actress Jaime Winstone. Earlier in the day, Boy George got ready in the hotel with Claire and her son Jaxon, who she shares with her ex Daniel Reilly. Claire, 54, who is believed to be serving as a bridesmaid, took to Instagram to share some very glamorous photographs from her hotel room. With Tony being hugely popular on the celebrity circuit, it's little surprise that the nuptials hosted an eclectic star-studded guest list and an A-list performance from none other than Kylie Minogue for the evening celebrations. A source told The Sun ahead of the wedding: 'Tony is one of the most popular people on the London celebrity circuit and his wedding is going to be packed full of stars. 'No one had Kate, Gemma and Claire in a bridal party on their bingo cards this year, though. It's going to be incredible to see them lining up together.' They added: 'Tony and Stavros have put a lot of thought into their big day and it's going to be one to remember. As for having Kylie singing at their evening do, it's iconic.' In 2023, Tony opened up about the poignant choice of church for their wedding, noting that he planned to wed in a church in Earls Court which honoured those who died of HIV and AIDS in the eighties and nineties. As was Kelly Osbourne Comedian Grace Campbell also shared a snap of a keepsake from the wedding, with the stern warning: 'Do not drink' He said at the time: 'This church was the only place that had love and compassion for our community. I want to get married there because, for me, it's full circle. It's for everybody that didn't make it to that point.' Earlier this month, much of the reported guest list stepped out to party with DJ Fat Tony at his star-studded stag do. The pair have been engaged since October 2023 after Tony popped the question during a romantic trip to New York.

Kia Confirms A Tasman SUV Is Coming

The Kia Tasman may spawn a rugged SUV to take on the 4Runner. This should be good. Kia May Soon Have An Answer To The 4Runner And Bronco The Kia Tasman is a midsize pickup with styling that not everyone will gel with, and which is off-limits to American buyers for the time being. However, its eccentricity in the styling department may not negatively impact its future prospects for diversification, according to a report from Australia's Carsales. When asked by the publication whether a Kia Tasman-based SUV could be openly discussed, Kia Australia Chief Engineer for Ride and Handling Graeme Gombold answered the question directly: 'Three years down the track.' That means a new Toyota 4Runner rival could reach dealer floors by 2029. 0:00 / 0:09 Tesla sales in Europe drop yet again Watch More An SUV Is Just One Way The Tasman Could Grow Gambold's job is to fine-tune Kia suspensions for the specific demands of the Australasian region and its roadways, so it follows that the engineer would know what's coming down the pipeline. However, this new SUV, and other potential incarnations of the Tasman, first depend on the base vehicle achieving success, as the brand's marketing boss, Dean Norbiato, was quick to point out. 'If Tasman is a success, then it will open many doors, so let's get Tasman right first,' said the executive. 'Once we get that right, then we can go from there. Let us take a breath; the media was asking for a ute [pickup truck] for 10 years.' So it'll be some way off if it happens, but clearly, Kia knows it's worth exploring, and suggesting that 'many doors' can be opened indicates there may be other applications for the truck. Chances Of An American Tasman SUV Source: Kia Kia's American arm offers the Sportage and Sorento, but neither of those is constructed atop a body-on-frame architecture, which means there is still a gap in the U.S. market that Kia could potentially fill, offering something to compete with the Ford Bronco and Toyota 4Runner. However, as noted at the outset, the Tasman's chances of arrival in America seem slim, and if that's not arriving, would it be worth tweaking the eventual SUV? Perhaps not, but the good news is that Kia is bringing a pickup of some sort to our shores, and there's no reason to believe that truck can't someday spawn an SUV that fits right into a gap in the U.S. market.
