Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire is the new face of Prada menswear. The actor is seen in a number of outfits for the campaign, shot by David Sims, and he reveals he is happy to do it because he is in "admiration" of the brand's head Miuccia Prada.
"A great supporter of the arts, Miuccia Prada has inspired a culture of creativity that is woven through every aspect of her company, from her collections and campaigns to every design detail in her stores. I have such admiration for her artistry and I'm thrilled to be a part of Prada's fall campaign."

Agyness Deyn is returning to Select Model Management from Models 1.
The British model, who shot to fame as the face of Burberry and became a Vogue cover star after signing for Select in 2002 before leaving them for Models 1, decided to return to the agency because they are "a safe pair of hands."
"Select were the agency who launched my career and I feel in very safe hands with them. It feels right to be here - it's like coming home."
Select Women's founder and director Chrissie Castagnetti added, "We're delighted that Agyness is back under our guidance. There are not enough British models showcased in fashion right now and whilst we're proud of all our girls, we have always had a passion for home grown talent and Agyness embodies that. It's great to be working with her again."
However, while she has become one of Britain's most successful models, Agyness - real name Laura Hollins - insists she has no interest in the industry that made her name and won't pursue a catwalk career forever: "You know, even though I'm in fashion, I don't, like, do fashion. Fashion isn't me, even though I work in it. It's just materialistic stuff. I just want to do whatever makes me happy."
Tom Ford Promises a Functional Cosmetic Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
Fashion designer Tom Ford insists that his new beauty collection only includes essentials. Ford recently launched the cosmetics range and while some of his peers come up with a whole variety of products, Tom has kept his as simple as possible.
"I don't like B.S. and a lot of promises, and there are a lot of products out there you don't even need. My brain works in the same way whatever I do. The approach is practical, architectural and I use the same vocabulary whether I'm designing clothing or cosmetics."
Tom says creating a cosmetics line has always been something he wanted to do because he had such an interest in make-up while growing up: "I've cared about cosmetics and make-up since I was a kid. When I was 14, I had to be taken to the emergency room because the cucumber slices I had put on my eyes - to camouflage the bags - had made them swell shut. I could eat cucumbers, but my eyes were clearly allergic to them."

Jessica Simpson and Ashlee Simpson are teaming up for a new clothing line. The singing sisters are to collaborate on a line of tween apparel featuring sportswear, denim and activewear in their first fashion venture together, which will be part of the Jessica Simpson Collection.
"Creating a tween apparel collection was a natural extension for the brand. I'm excited to bring my sister, Ashlee, along as co-creative director of this division, because she brings a savvy rocker edge that defines today's tweens," said Jessica, whose fashion empire is set to be worth an estimated $1 billion this year.
Ashlee hopes her venture into fashion will be inspirational for young girls wanting to experiment with their personal style: "My goal as co-creative director will be to design clothes that will help inspire young girls to express their personalities and creativity through fashion."
Low Maintenance Angelina Jolie
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Want the secret to looking like Angelina Jolie? Don't brush your hair on a daily basis.
The Kung Fu Panda 2 actress - who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt - is regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world, but insists she keeps her efforts to look good to a minimum.
"In my life, I hardly brush my hair very often. I try to be as low-maintenance as possible because of my kids, so I can just get up and get ready and do things and not take too much time."
In keeping her with her no-fuss beauty regime, it was previously claimed that Angelina keeps her lips in good condition by using Shea Terra's Menthe Orange Organic Shea Lip Butter, which costs just $4. The lip balm boasts a variety of unusual products including raw golden beeswax from Uganda, virgin coconut cream oil, African potato, Namibian tsamma melon seed oil, rooibos, chamomile flowers and wild Namibian plum oil.
"Angelina stockpiles the lip butter to preserve her to-die-for pout. She likes it because it also helps to freshen your breath and Angelina hates chewing gum," a source revealed.
Zoe Kravtiz Used to be Embarrassed by Father’s Style
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities,
Zoe Kravitz is "embarrassed" by how her parents dress, but still steals their clothes. The X-Men: First Class actress is daughter of Lenny and former The Cosby Show'actress Lisa Bonet and she says she finds herself swapping clothes with them all the time.
"I used to be a little embarrassed by how my mom and my dad would dress, but now I steal their clothes all the time. My dad has totally taken my Cat Stevens T-shirt, but It's OK I have his Black Flag one and that's amazing."
Zoe added she had to get used to her rock star father's eccentric dress sense from a young age, which made for quite a scene when he was being strict with her: "My dad was brought up very old school, very strict - 'Yes ma'am, yes sir,' So he's wearing leather pants and a boa, but he would be like, 'Did you do your chores today?' Or 'That dress is too short!' Seriously, no joke."
Zoe's fashion is more in tune with her mother's, and is so close she also once unwittingly bought her mother's clothes back from a vintage store. "She took a bunch of stuff down while I was away, and I went there when I got back and bought five of her things. I got home and was like, 'I can't believe I just paid for your clothes!' Out of everything in the store I bought my mother's things!"
Quote of the Day: Karl Lagerfeld on Biographers
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
“Whoever has time, because I couldn’t care less. Today nobody’s really found the real story… I don’t have too much consideration for the poor people who try to write that book... I have nothing to say. But it’s interesting that people in fact are lazy. If they worked hard they would find interesting things. Nobody finds it! So I’m in a position to say ‘#### you, you’re all lazy pigs.’ And I certainly won’t help them!”
- Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld on his would-be biographers.
