Demi Moore Fronts Fragrance Campaign
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News, Sales,
Perfume campaigns are still all the rage (just ask Hayden Christensen, Enrique Iglesias, and Justin Timberlake!), and Demi Moore is hopping right onto that trend, fronting the ad campaign for Helena Rubinstein’s latest fragrance.
While she doesn’t necessary fit the title of the alluring perfume, “All You’ve Ever Wanted” (I mean, ever since she got hitched, does anyone care?), Moore fits perfectly in the photo. Well, if you don’t count that awkward arm holding the bottle. And who’s that weird guy by her neck? Where’s Ashton!

Miranda Kerr Works Intensely
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
As if we didn’t know that models have quite the workload, Miranda Kerr wants to proclaim that no one else could handle her “intense” schedule.
The Australian supermodel, who is dating actor Orlando Bloom, has revealed her grueling workload can takes its toll on her health and private life.
“I work six days a week, 15 hours a day—and that’s not a joke. I’m generally in two different countries a week. And anyone else who had my schedule would probably fall apart. To be honest with you, it’s really intense. People don’t realize the extent of how hard I work, because they see it as just glitz and glamour. At the same time I am so grateful for it all, but it doesn’t give me a lot of downtime.”
Miranda sparked health concerns after being pictured looking shockingly frail at a swimwear shoot in Sydney last week. The 26-year-old star, who is planning to release a book on nutrition this year, says she stays in shape by following a diet based on her blood type.

Christian Lacroix Now Designs Jets
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales,
From one runway to another, Christian Lacroix is set to design private jets.
The French designer, who filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, is in talks with Sheikh Hassan bin Ali al-Nuaimi—the nephew of United Arab Emirates ruler Ajman—about investing $70 million in the company. Al-Nuaimi wants to become the majority stakeholder and despite the current global economic downturn, the sheikh has bold plans for the brand. He is keen to transform the fashion label into a luxury lifestyle brand with a range of products including lavish palaces, planes and hotels.
Al-Nuaimi said, “The idea is not to focus on fashion by itself. We are discussing different activities in leisure… private jets, hotels, high-quality yachts, palaces, and interior decoration. We will focus on very exclusive areas and don’t want to sell his name cheap in the market.”
Lacroix, who counts Christina Aguilera among his celebrity fans, will need approval from a French court before the deal goes ahead. A decision is set to be made by the end of the month.
Manolo Blahnik Hates When Pointless Girls Wear His Shoes
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women, Footwear,
First were his comments about Sex and the City. Now famed shoe designer Manolo Blahnik is saying that he hates celebrities—well, at least just the pointless ones.
“I hate celebrities. All those pointless girls—I won’t name names, but you know who I mean. They are ‘famous.’ Ridiculous. I like women with style: actresses like Uma Thurman, icons like Audrey Hepburn. I like women with style to wear my shoes.”
Ouch. Too bad he didn’t name names! Then again, he does still want to be in business.

Prepare Yourself for the Jean Paul Gaultier-Target Collab
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales, Women,
It really is the new rage among fashion designers. From Thakoon to Proenza Schouler and Anna Sui to Rodarte (as well as many, many more), Target is taking no clear break when it comes to penning the deals with collaborators.
Whose creations will we be expecting next? Jean Paul Gaultier! Rumors about Gaultier signing on with Target went around for awhile until receiving confirmation this weekend. In fact, I don’t think that I’ve been this excited for a diffusion line since Alexander McQueen.
For the Designer Collaboration series, Target asks that the designer select a muse: “Jean Paul Gaultier for Target pays tribute to the American woman, celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture, the retailer said.”
Interesting… Well, we’ll just have to wait until March 7th, when the pieces hit stores (although I’m sure photos of the line will have leaked before then) to figure out just what that means.

Rimmel Recruits Coco Rocha and Georgia Jagger
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Women,
Step aside, Grandma
Kate Moss—rock daughter Georgia Jagger and it girl Coco Rocha are signing their faces away to represent cosmetic giant Rimmel London.
Set to front the Spring/Summer ‘10 campaign, the pair sound like a bit of an odd coupling; however, senior vice president of global marketing at Coty Beauty Stephen Mormoris doesn’t think so:
“We needed a wider palette of faces to show the makeup results of our new products… Rimmel embodies the London look, which is very resonant with young people all over the world who look to London as a centre of multiculturalism and freedom of expression.”
It’s obvious why Rocha was brought on board; Jagger was picked for being “edgy, experimental and provocative.” I’m sure it has nothing to do with her parentage…
Mormoris also revealed that the company plans to bring three more models to the campaign by January—guaranteeing that each will be of different ethnic background. We’ll be keeping you to your word, Mormoris.

Quote of the Day: Lily Cole on Failure
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models,
“I’ve never studied the correlation between the decades of plenty and the size of models, but it’s interesting, for sure. I was never asked to lose weight. I’m assuming people who are less successful are the ones who are told they need to be teeny to be so.”
- UK size 6 model Lily Cole on why other models haven’t found the same success she has met (oh, to wonder what Flippa Hamilton would say!).

Lindsay Lohan Places Ungaro Blame Elsewhere
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,
I hate
love to say it: everyone told you so, Ungaro.
Critics did not bide well with the House of Emanuel Ungaro’s Spring/Summer ‘10 collection, which debuted at Paris Fashion Week. All eyes, naturally, were glaring at the much-buzzed about celebrity advisor Lindsay Lohan, and she wasn’t willing to take the hits without a fight.
The first of her many excuses was “coming in so late and having not that much time to do a whole collection.” As if she didn’t revel in the positive, hopeful stories on her exciting appointment—accepting the offer so last minute wasn’t exactly something the currently-blonde actress thought out.
She also claims to have no idea about those infamous nipple tassels: “I wasn’t aware of the nipple tassels on the girls until they were walking out.” Surely she must have been intoxicated during that meeting.
The best explanation was her inexperience card, which she actually believed to be legitimate, stating that she’s “still learning.” Shouldn’t someone be firing her already? There’s a reason why people aren’t employing her in films, people.
