Zac Posen Teams Up with David’s Bridal for Wedding Designs
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales,
Remember how jealous you were when you saw Coco Rocha get married in a custom Zac Posen gown? Fortunately, the New York-based designer is finally giving us commoners the chance to be like the supermodel and say "I do" in one of his creations.
Posen will launch his first bridal collection - which includes formal attire in addition to wedding gowns - exclusively through retailer David's Bridal.
"We brainstormed for several months because we had a very successful launch with Vera [Wang]. As always, we were looking for what's next... We were talking about dramatic red-carpet movie-star kind of looks, and Zac came to mind," said Catalina Maddoz, executive vice president of merchandizing at David's Bridal.
Six wedding gowns - priced between $850-$1,350 - and five "social occasion" pieces - ranging between $195-$225 - are expected to appear at limited stores and online in February 2014.

Taylor Swift: Perfume Captures My Personality
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Taylor Swift believes her perfume captures her "personality."
The 23-year-old singer is preparing to release her new scent Taylor by Taylor Swift this month and insists she's stepped away from the "romantic kind" of aroma, creating her third fragrance to represent her progression in life: "For me, it's sort of who I am and embodies my personality and my style. There's been sort of a progression between fantasy and reality, and I think this perfume just really follows that progression. It would take place in my day-to-day life if that makes sense."
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" hitmaker - who is currently on her RED tour with Ed Sheeran - is also beginning to think about starting a new record, but is taking a few months off from penning tracks to give her mind a break from the pressure. "I'm getting ready to start thinking about it. Because my record, it just came out and I'm trying to give my mind a second to like, 'OK,' because when I write a record, I write until I cannot write anymore, I drive myself crazy and then finally the album comes out and I give myself a few months off, so I'm still in that time," she explained.
PHOTOS: Pink Shaves Half Her Head
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles,
Never to be one who blends in with the crowd, Pink has adopted an interesting choice in hair style this month. Not unlike what Avril Lavigne has been doing to hers, the pop singer and mother of one has shaved half her head and transformed the other side from a pixie cut to flowing platinum extensions (with a touch of pink, of course). The "Just Give Me a Reason" singer has no regrets about her drastic hair decision, writing on Twitter, “Officially decided that June is crazy hair month. If there’s something you have been wanting to do—go for it! No Fear! Crazy hair is fun."
What do you think of Pink's new 'do? Is she pulling it off with class, or is it just an absolute hair debacle?

Karl Lagerfeld Loved Keira Knightley’s Unpretentious Wedding
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Keira Knightley had the "least pretentious wedding ever," according to Karl Lagerfeld.
The British actress married rocker James Righton in an intimate ceremony in the South of France last month, and Chanel's creative director felt the low-key nuptials were very tasteful. The 79-year-old designer spoke fondly of Keira - who is the face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle scent - saying she looked chic in a short Chanel dress with flat ballet pumps for her big day.
"She had the least pretentious wedding ever. The whole thing was relaxed. I think it's perfect. After all, they lived together for quite a time. It's not as if she is a young girl of 18 who sees the husband for the first time. She is not a country girl," he said.
He also discussed working with Keira, revealing she was easy to get along with on set in her recent role as Coco Chanel in a film focusing on the opening of the designer's first store in the French seaside town of Deauville: "Keira was genius, no? I work well with her. Very easy. Keira has zero problem in her way of behaving and she knows everybody."

Kate Moss Detoxing in Turkey
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, Rumors,
Kate Moss is reportedly detoxing in Turkey.
The supermodel - often pictured smoking or enjoying a glass of champagne - has reportedly been surviving on juice, fresh herbs, and daily enemas as part of her health kick. The 39-year-old is reportedly on a week long program in the city of Bodrum which also includes pilates, yoga and stretching sessions.
The LifeCo detox program costs $5,400 and has also been helping Kate to lose weight, with her reportedly shedding more then two kilos.
"Kate has detoxed here before and lost three-a-half kilos [about 8 pounds] - she absolutely loved it. She really enjoys being healthy, eating clean and not drinking, and while the gym is not her natural calling, she does enjoy the odd spot of yoga. Kate feels mentally and physically cleansed, and reckons her skin and eyes look much brighter and clearer already," a source said.

Barneys to Relaunch Proenza Schouler’s First Collection
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales,
To celebrate its tenth anniversary (and perhaps also in commemoration of those three, well-deserved CDFA Womenswear Designer of the Year awards), Proenza Schouler will be re-releasing their first collection, set to be sold at Barneys.
The decision to sell the slightly-altered version of their first collection at Barneys was a no-brainer for designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, as it was the famous retailer who had snapped up their senior thesis line back in 2003 when they were graduating from Parsons.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Models,
Not only is French electronic duo Daft Punk making waves and breakin records in the music business, but they're now appearing to dominate the fashion industry, too.
A New Yorker snapped up this photo of the pair with newly-appointed Victoria's Secret angel Karlie Kloss. Dressed in dapper suits that some believe to be from Hedi Slimane, the musical group appears to be shooting an editorial or new music video.
There's been no official word from either party as to what they were up to in the Midtown streets, so we'll just have to play the waiting game to find out.

Karl Lagerfeld Wants to Marry His Cat
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
Karl Lagerfeld wants to marry his cat.
The eccentric designer is so besotted with his feline friend, Choupette, he pays for two maids to provide care for her around the clock in Paris. The Chanel designer also has an iPad for his 22-month-old white Siamese pet - who also has her own Twitter account - and lets her dine at his table.
Karl, 79, said in an interview with CNN he is disappointed there is "no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals. I never thought that I would fall in love like this with a cat."
Choupette - the French equivalent of the English name Herbie - has already gained over 1,200 likes for her own page on Facebook, which features pictures including her eating a king prawn cake prepared for her first birthday last year. Choupette is brushed twice a day by her two nannies, as well as being given regular manicures. Her nannies also write down what she does throughout the day so Karl can catch up with it when he gets home.

Lady Gaga’s Fake Nail Sells for $12,000
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Lady Gaga's fake fingernail has been auctioned for $12,000.
An enthusiastic fan of the "Edge of Glory" hitmaker has laid claim to one of the intricately-designed false nails worn by the singer at the launch of her Fame perfume and during her Born This Way ball tour last year after paying a five figure sum for the unique item.
Gaga, 27, adorned herself in black acrylic nails featuring detailed gold embellishments - which were designed exclusively for her by New York nail artist Aya Fukuda - last September, but the singer appeared to lose one of the nails while gyrating on stage in Dublin, Ireland and it was later picked up by an eagle-eyed stage hand after the concert, who promptly sold online.
In the official auction listing, the crew member explained, "I noticed an object on the floor of the stage, which at first I thought was a guitar plectrum. When I picked it up, I saw it was an acrylic nail."
