Loyal Muse Naomi Campbell
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models,
Supermodel Naomi Campbell is “loyal” to the fashion designers she has worked with from a young age.
The British-born model explained the support of the likes of Gianni Versace and Yves Saint Laurent helped her break into the industry, and while she is not “forced” to wear their designs, she considers them to be “creative geniuses.”
“Our group kind of broke in with the support of designers like Gianni Versace, Azzedine Alaia, Yves Saint Laurent, and Karl Lagerfeld, and their connections to both the magazines and the photographers. I loved watching so many of the great designers I’ve worked with do what they do. That’s why I’m still loyal to the designers that I’ve known since I was 16. It’s not that I’m forced to be - it’s that they’re creative geniuses and I love what they do. For my whole group of girls, it wasn’t always about how much we were getting paid. We were interested in how creative it looked-how it would come across.”

Pixie Lott Launches New Collection
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Pixie Lott launched her latest fashion collection with a star-studded party last night.
The singer has once again teamed up with British high street store Lipsy to create a Fall/Winter range and celebrated it with a bash at exclusive London restaurant Gilgamesh, where guests included Sugababes star Jade Ewen, The Saturdays singer Mollie King and TV presenter Konnie Huq.
“I just kind of say what pieces we need. For the rock range, I said ‘We need a leather jacket, we need a jumpsuit, we need an everyday dress.’ Then we sat together to discuss the details. I said we needed some studding, and stuff like that. I wear black mainly most of the time, and pins and stuff, and it’s rocky so I used that. But for the party range I brought in some colour as well and some bright prints, she said when speaking about the ideas behind the range, which comes in Pixie Rock and Pixie Party.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
—Supermodel Heidi Klum admitted to eating so much spaghetti prior to a gala in Milan that she could barely zip up her gown.
—Brad Goreski is leaving Rachel Zoe. Don’t worry for him, though—the split is supposedly amicable.
—Terry Richardson has recruited Crystal Renn for a French Vogue shoot which calls for her eating various foods in overly sexual poses.
—Speaking of Terry, Marvel’s Uncanny X-Men #528 comments on a Barry Richardman whose name is not the only thing the character has in common with the controversial photographer. According to the two X-Men, Richardman’s “art is cheap, exploitative porn,” and “what he does to models is borderline assault and unquestionably cruel.”
—Lady Gaga attended her grandfather’s funeral on Monday looking surprisingly normal (as opposed to the last family event she attended—her sister’s graduation).

PHOTOS: Pre-Photoshop Madonna for Dolce and Gabbana
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
Yet another celebrity’s pre-Photoshop images are outed by the internet. This time, it’s Madonna for Dolce & Gabbana.
Although the untouched photo may not be the best angle or lighting, it is very clear that Madonna’s controversial arms have been de-muscled in the ads, in addition to some heavy editing done to her nose and chin. Her eye makeup isn’t very flattering either, which is perhaps why the ads were printed in black and white.
Either way, the Queen of Pop works hard for her toned form; she should be able to flaunt—not drastically alter—it!

Naomi Campbell Admits Flaws, is No Role Model
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Naomi Campbell admits she has made “many mistakes.”
The supermodel—who has been involved in a string of scandals throughout her career, including various claims of assault—hates to be regarded as a role model because she knows she is flawed, but insists she is trying to be a better person.
“I make many mistakes. Many mistakes. I’m not a perfect human being. I have to learn from my mistakes. And a lot of the ones I’ve made have been public. So I always get nervous when people speak about something that sounds like a role model, because I don’t know if I’ve been a great role model myself. I don’t think I have in certain aspects of my life. But I’m trying to do better. I admit to my mistakes. I admit to the things that I’ve done wrong. I admit it. But I’m trying to do right by myself and my life now.”
Despite her troubled past, the 40-year-old beauty says she never wallows in her mistakes but will allow herself a brief period to get herself back on track again. “I don’t get depressed. When I feel an attack, I withdraw. I disappear, I replenish, and then I come back. I’m not going to wallow in self-pity and not live my life. There are always going to be some falls in life for everybody, no matter what career you have. You have to roll with the punches and keep going.”
Claudia Schiffer’s Cashmere Collection
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Supermodel Claudia Schiffer is to launch her own cashmere collection.
The model-turned-designer has teamed up with German knitwear brand Iris von Arnim (IvA) to create a range, which will represent her personal ethos and style.
“I have been looking for the right partnership for a very long time and I feel very lucky to have found it with IvA. We have the same inherent values and I was delighted to find a company that was able to interpret my vision.”
“Claudia is a global fashion icon, a woman with impeccable taste who has a strong vision and knows exactly what she wants for her line. We are thrilled to be working together and very much looking forward to the future,” the company added.
The mother-of-three has previously spoken of her desire to create her own fashion line, but would only design clothes she would wear: “I have been approached so many times over the last 20 years but it has never been the right time. Now, I would consider it but it would have to be the right thing. They would need to be clothes that I would want to wear.”
Fun Designer Stella McCartney
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty,
Stella McCartney wants women to have fun when wearing her clothes.
The designer says she has always been inspired by the female body and constantly has them in made when creating her outfits, because she is keen for ladies to look stylish without feeling restricted.
“Women are always my inspiration. This season, it specifically refining the silhouette. Most women have a very controlled, restrained part of their personality but we also want to have fun, feel youthful and sensual - it was really about the balance between the two.”
As well as her more formal clothes, Stella also has her own range for Adidas and she is keen for women to look and feel good when they work out: “I want to offer women something they can work out in and also feel good in. I don’t want to be ashamed of what I’m wearing to the gym because it’s ‘women’s gear’ and not as cutting edge technically as men’s, but equally I want to feel stylish.”

True Blood actress Evan Rachel Wood loves experimenting with her look.
The actress, who is the face of Gucci’s Guilty perfume and famed for her daring style, is always changing her appearance as her “artistic” family have always encouraged her to be a bit different.
“I have fun playing with make-up. I try and surround myself with people who just aren’t afraid to be who they are and aren’t going to judge me for doing anything I’m doing.”
Evan also says she is obsessed with protecting her porcelain skin from the sun, telling People, “I am SPF crazy. I have sunscreen in the door of my car. I have sunscreen in my purse.”
After she was named as the latest face of Gucci, the Italian fashion house’s creative director Frida Giannini said she thought Evan was the ideal choice:

Quote of the Day: Madonna Restricts Daughter’s Style
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News,
“There are certain things she is not allowed to wear—almost every morning we have our differences over it. No too-low V necks. School is not a nightclub. I always say to her: ‘Are you going to school or a nightclub?’”
- While Madonna and her daughter Lourdes “Lola” Leon may share clothes, the Queen of Pop has some words about what her fashion designing daughter cannot wear. Perhaps Madonna should’ve thought about that before hiring stripper-styled Taylor Momsen to front their Material Girl collection.

Sarah Burton Opens Up About Future McQueen Collections
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
After her initial words upon accepting the head designer role at Alexander McQueen, Sarah Burton has kept fairly quiet—until now. Burton, who was hired at McQueen before she was even a graduate at Central Saint Martin’s, talks about her mentor and boss, as well as what her plans are going forward with the label.
One thing she is not continuing are the extravagant, grandiose shows McQueen was known for: “That was very much Lee’s territory—the spectacular show… In that way, I can’t try and pretend to be Lee.”
She is, however, staying true to the designer’s affinity for the macabre and sex.
