Robert Pattinson gets his fashion advice from Gucci's creative director.
The Twilight Saga heartthrob likes the Italian fashion house to dress him for his public appearances and relies upon emergency last-minute fashion advice from the brand's creative director, Frida Giannini.
"She taught me one thing - you should definitely have good contacts at Gucci. They're absolutely amazing. The amount of times I've been stuck in some random city and have called her up and had things brought in at absolutely the last minute - it's crazy. You can do quite crazy things [with color] if you have incredibly classic, really well-made suits. I guess I've been quite boring for a while. I used to be more interesting with them. Now I always just request things two days before: 'Can you send 25 suits?' I don't even know what I want to wear!" Robert told the British edition of GQ.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
The Chanel designer has teamed up with Japanese beauty giant Shu Uemure to create a range of cosmetics, entitled Karl Lagerfeld for Shu Uemura. While specific details on the range have not yet been revealed, president of Karl Lagerfeld Pier Paolo Righi told WWD that the products will reflect the designer's "iconic, ironic style."
Karl - who has used Shu Uemura cosmetics to hand-color his fashion sketches for over two decades - is in charge of the collection's color selection and packaging and has already photographed an accompanying campaign.
Meanwhile, Karl has been immortalized in wax his native Germany's oldest waxwork museum, Panoptikum Hamburg. The model took almost a year to create and features an uncanny resemblance to the eccentric designer, featuring his white hair tied in a neat ponytail, his trademark dark glasses, fingerless gloves and slim tailoring. The waxwork - which was created by a team of sculptors - was officially unveiled last week.

Viktor and Rolf Design a Charity Stroller
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
The Amsterdam-based designer duo have collaborated with Dutch brand Bugaboo in aid of the charity (RED) to create a luxury stroller.
"It was a fun project to work on. The idea was 'my first car' and thinking about what a stroller is and a car came to mind, which is ironic and surreal and goes very well with Viktor and Rolf. The development took a while - there were certain restraints as it had to be child-proof and it had to be tested. It was an interesting project. For us, they're fun to do next to our own fashion label, to do something totally different," Viktor Horsting said, speaking at the Park Hyatt cocktail reception at the official launch in Paris over the weekend.
Viktor was joined by model and muse Anne V, who donned one of V&R's black creations for the occasion. "I'm really happy to be here and support (RED), it was all a bit last minute that I was going to be in Paris - and they [Viktor and Rolf] are the nicest guys. Their clothes make you feel like Cinderella," she gushed.

Nicole Richie Likes Fearless Fashion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
The fashion designer - whose brands include House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate - says her ideal customer is someone who is willing to take risks with their outfit choices.
"I most like seeing my designs worn by anyone who is passionate about what they choose to wear and are excited and motivated by my designs. I always design for women who love to play with fashion. I study what people are drawn to by personally getting feedback from my customers. I admire anyone who is fearless in what they choose to wear."
Nicole says she is a huge fan of Kate Moss' look. When asked by Company magazine who her girl crush was, Nicole replied, "That is so hard to choose. But probably Kate Moss."
The former reality TV star also revealed the inspirations behind her latest collections: "The S/S12 range was inspired by my travels to the Souks of Marrakech, as well as Egyptian Sarcophagus. The feminine qualities are juxtaposed with intricate woven details, saturated colors and hardware that bring the old world to the present day. For A/W12, the collections are inspired by the 1970s and gothic rock."

Marc Jacobs: Working With Beckham Was Unexpected
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Marc Jacobs loved working with Victoria Beckham because no one expected it.
The Louis Vuitton designer cast the former Spice Girl in a campaign for his eponymous brand in 2008 and caused controversy with an advertisement which saw just her legs coming out of a shopping bag, but Marc revealed he chose her because it was so unexpected: "Victoria would never have been the type of person that I think anyone would have thought of as our customer. Victoria liked the idea very much and was totally into it so I said, 'Let's treat her like she's a kind of product.' Because she is, she's created herself... And the first image you saw was just her legs coming out of a shopping bag."

The designer's creations are huge hit with females all over the world and Michael thinks it's because his clothes make people feel good about themselves.
"If I do my job right, when you get dressed in something I've designed, it helps to boost your confidence. A lot of people say, 'Well, if I was a celebrity, I would always be confident.' But let's be honest: If you've got the cameras on you, it's worse. For some reason, I've seen women at vulnerable moments go for Michael Kors. Jennifer Lopez, two days after she broke up with Ben Affleck, hit the red carpet in Michael Kors. Jennifer Garner has her first child, 10 days later she's presenting at the Academy Awards, Michael Kors. I think it's a confidence boost perhaps. Debra Messing told me after the first time we dressed her for Will & Grace, 'I loved how I look and the plus was I could actually move in this thing.'"

The fashion designer called her new handbag "The Morrison" as a tribute to her 15-month-old son, Skyler Morrison Berman.
"Me and @mandanadayani with our Rachel Zoe Fall 2012 Morrison bags, named after my son! xoRZ (sic)" she wrote on her Twitter. The picture shows her posing with the black leather bag from her Fall 2012 accessories collection alongside Mandana Dayani, the vice president of Rachel Zoe Inc.
Rachel snapped a similar picture of herself and Mandana holding the bags yesterday, Tweeting, "OMG we're matching by accident! Great minds."
