Kristen Stewart Talks Nicolas Ghesquière
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
As models and celebrities are quick to make the likes of Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs their BFFs, Kristen Stewart looks to crediting Balenciaga creative director Nicolas Ghesquière for fostering her style.
Featured in this month's British Vogue, the Twilight actress opened up about her first experience in working with Ghesquière while promoting Balenciaga's latest fragrance Florabotanica, of which she is the face of.
"I had to have a relationship with fashion from such a young age - you walk down the red carpet, and it matters. It's strange. At first I just wanted to get it right, I wanted it to be smooth sailing and just to be able to do my job. Then I did a photo shoot with Nicolas and it was the first time that taking photos in high fashion felt like telling a story, that it was part of a concept - it wasn't just about something on the surface, it really evoked a feeling."

In another (seen after the jump), she wears the underwear paired with a white Fendi shirt and Sergio Rossi stilettos.
Beckham could hardly contain her excitement as she shared on Twitter, "I am thrilled to shoot with Karl. I have so much respect for him and I find him so inspiring. To shoot in Coco Chanel's apartment in the clothes of the house of Chanel is really a dream come true."
Lagerfeld appeared to have mutual admiration for the 38 year-old: "Victoria has an innate sense of style. She knows what she likes, and knows what is good for her."
The photos are set to appear in an upcoming issue of Elle France.

Quote of the Day: Karl Lagerfeld on Anorexia
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models,
.jpg)
"I'm sorry to say that it's a subject I consider ridiculous for several reasons; the story with the anorexic girls - nobody works with anorexic girls, that's nothing to do with fashion. People who have that [anorexia] have problems to do with family and things like that... There are less than 1 per cent of anorexic girls, but there more than 30 per cent of girls in France - I don't know about England - that are much, much overweight. And it is much more dangerous and very bad for the health. So I think today with the junk food in front of the TV it's something dangerous for the health of the girl."
- Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld on an issue in the fashion world that has been addressed by both models and designers in the industry.

Lookbook: Amy Adams for Boy. by Band of Outsiders
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers,
Following in the footsteps of Michelle Williams, Amy Adams has been recruited as the latest celebrity to show off Boy. by Band of Outsiders' latest collection.
The Master star was photographed in a series of Polaroids (more seen after the jump) around the Autry National Center of the American West in Los Angeles' Griffith Park, which was quite fitting for the lookbook's Wild West feel.
“The overarching narrative is always the idea of this sort of child inside of you... When you were alone, how you entertained yourself as a kid, trying to go back to that place. There’s no irony or glibness. Really, it’s more childlike," said designer Scott Sternberg.

The Gossip Girl actress - who married actor Ryan Reynolds in a surprise ceremony in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, last month - collaborated directly with Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman to ensure she walked down the aisle in her dream dress.
Georgina, who owns the brand with Keren Craig, said, "Blake has such an innate style. I've worked with her so many times and know her so well."
The blonde Savages star - who is well known for her love of fashion - wore a custom-made beaded gown featuring a silk tulle bodice and rose-gold embroidery. The Marchesa designer praised the 25-year-old actress's sense of style, and said she "has a very clean sense of fashion... she was very involved."

Duchess Catherine Designed Own Dress
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Britain's Duchess Catherine designs some of her own clothes. The duchess wore a yellow broderie anglaise sundress on her recent South Pacific tour, and it has now emerged it was a piece specially-commissioned by Queen Elizabeth's tailors, based on the royal's own ideas.
"This dress was a piece commissioned by Kate. She likes to have a few pieces that are one-offs and that she has had some input in, so she asked the queen's tailors for some help. They worked on it together after she went to them with ideas of color, fabric and style," a source told Grazia.

Daphne Guinness has been ordered to pay her neighbors substantial damages.
A New York judge has ruled the fashion designer responsible for flooding Karim and Tina Samii's $8 million apartment - located below her own property in the former Stanhope Hotel in Manhattan - after allowing her bath water to overflow on three separate occasions.
"All I have ever wanted is to make amends and make this right. I've always been happy to pay for their damage, and have already been doing so. I would never intentionally flood their apartment. I by no means want to be a bad neighbor. I have totally waterproofed the place and now it is the safest apartment in New York," the style icon told The New York Post.
Justice Richard Braun rejected her neighbors' bid to secure $1 million in damages amid claims they felt "terrorized" and suffered "emotional distress" at the hands of the socialite. Their bid to secure a court order to prevent her from ever bathing in her property again was also denied.

Valentino Garavani has designed Anne Hathaway's wedding dress.
Although the actress has tried to keep all details about her upcoming wedding to Adam Shulman under wraps, the legendary designer revealed he "did the dress" for her big day.

"She's a very good friend of mine. She's like my daughter! She's sensational. She's fantastic. She's a girl that... She deserves what she has in this life. [That] means, she's already a great star. But she's going to be a great, great, great, great thousand times great star. She has all the qualities. And wait until you hear her voice [in Les Miserables]. She's amazing," he told E! News.
Anne previously insisted the nuptials won't take place until 2013 as she is too busy this year with the release of blockbuster movies The Dark Knight Rises and Les Miserables:
