Celebrities’ and Designers’ New York Night Out
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Sales, Men, Women,
Cindy Crawford, P. Diddy, and Hugh Jackman are set to celebrate Fashion’s Night Out in New York. A host of Hollywood celebrities and style icons will join forces for an evening of extravagant shopping events, shows, and parties across the US city—let’s hope that the world doesn’t implode when it happens.
The occasion—a celebration of New York being at the forefront of global fashion—has been founded by Vogue magazine, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, tourism group NYC, and Company and the City of New York.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour said:
“Little did I think when the idea of Fashion’s Night Out was first dreamed up this past March during the Paris collections that we would have over 700 and counting retailers, designers, and brands joining us on the night of September 10. Of course, I’ve always known the New York fashion industry to rise brilliantly to a challenge, but I am absolutely thrilled, awed, and more than a little proud that it has reacted so brilliantly to this initiative. There is so much planned that we could shop till dawn and still not see and do everything.”

Keira Knightley’s Curvy Campaign
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Women,
Pirates of the Caribbean starlet Keira Knightley‘s breasts have reportedly been digitally-enhanced in her latest campaign for Chanel. The 24-year-old actress - famed for her slender figure—looks decidedly curvier in the advertisements for the French fashion house’s Coco Mademoiselle perfume, in which her chest is covered only by a pair of braces. Her face also looks a lot smoother and airbrushing expert Chris Bickmore claims Keira’s appearance has definitely been enhanced.
He said: “Her face has definitely been retouched, there are no lines or wrinkles at all. The whites in her eyes have been made a cleaner white and there are no lines on her neck, body or even the back of her hand where there would definitely be some detail. Her breasts has had some shading added to it to give it the effect of being rounder and more pert and it has also been increased in size slightly.”

Marc Jacobs Dreads Fashion Week Stress
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Women,
Marc Jacobs the Fierce is dreading New York Fashion Week.
The US fashion designer admits the extra work involved in showcasing his collection is very stressful for him. When asked if he is excited about next month’s prestigious event, he replied: “No. Do I enjoy it? Enjoy is a weird word. It’s work - work is more what it’s about. It’s not fun.”
Although he is not looking forward to fashion week, Marc is excited at the prospect of marrying his boyfriend Lorenzo Martone.
He said: “It will happen soon. The wedding will be very quiet, just the two of us. We’re keeping it very simple.”
While the prospect of fashion week is filling him with dread, Marc recently described himself as a “cheerleader,” as he has the ability to inspire people around him and motivate his staff if he is in a good mood.
He said: “I am a bit of a cheerleader. I have to stimulate people, or I feel it is my role to stimulate people. So the better my attitude is and the better I’m feeling, the better everybody feels about being around me. What I give is definitely what I get back.”

Vera Wang Makes a Trip to Sesame Street
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Fashion Designers,
Sesame Street may be nearing 40, but the show clearly hasn’t gone out of style.
The PBS program has already played host to a long list of actors, musicians and even First Ladies. Now the famous address is serving as a temporary runway for some of fashion’s latest designs.
For the September 2009 edition of Harper’s Bazaar, a number of designers showcase their creations with help from a few of the street’s most colorful characters. In addition to Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta (seen after the jump), Carolina Herrera, Diane von Furstenberg and Derek Lam join the fun.
You can see more photos from that issue here.

Kenny Chesney Introduces Casual Fashion Line
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Men, Women,
Just because you like your clothes comfortable and little laid-back, doesn’t mean you can’t sell fashion. Just ask Avril Lavigne. Or Kenny Chesney.
The 41-year-old country singer is now the latest singer to dip his toes into the world of clothing. Chesney, who is rarely seen without a cowboy hat, has launched Blue Chair Bay, a line that represents his relaxed style. The articles, which range in price from $35 to $72, are meant to evoke “that favorite T-shirt that you’ve washed a lot that is kind of sun bleached… your favorite khakis, and your shirt that you’ve had forever.”
The collection, which was designed with both men and women in mind, can currently be found at Fast Buck Freddies in Key West, Ocean Eddie’s Resort Wear in Gulf Shores, AL, and Levy’s in Nashville.

Alexander Wang Designs Very Masculine Menswear
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Videos, Men,
Alexander Wang posted a sneak peek video of his upcoming men’s line, and let’s just say that they do not look too different from those egregious Bod commercials from back in the day.
I admire his determination in creating a collection that non-flamboyant, more conservative men could wear; however, it wouldn’t be hard to shop this look at your local Wal-Mart. Please, please, please, Alex, say it isn’t so.
