Pop diva Kylie Minogue has enlisted the help of a new designer to make outfits for her current Showgirls tour.

Her stylist William Baker, who had bought Kylie her famous gold hot pants for 50 pence and which were later insured for one million pounds, has asked Gareth Pugh to design some outfits.

Pugh recently showcased his autumn winter collection 2005-06. He is known for his experimentation with shape and space and said: "I love to change the shape of things.

"It's just so much more interesting for me to consider the space around the body as opposed to concentrating solely on the body."

The pop princess already has exclusive outfits created by Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld and Christian Dior designer John Galliano.
