Kristen Stewart to Front Balenciaga Fragrances
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
Kristen Stewart is to become the face of Balenciaga fragrances. The Twilight Saga actress - who has previously confessed to not knowing much about the fashion world - is excited to be involved with the "cool" brand, as she has always been a big fan of the Spanish design house.
"Balenciaga has always stood out to me. Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always knew and loved Balenciaga. It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now. The brand is just cool. That's the way it is."
Creative director of the brand Nicolas Ghesquiere admitted Kristen was great for Balenciaga because of her "progressive character": "Kristen embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence. From her early appearance in Panic Room to her independent choice of Welcome to the Rileys, I've always sensed her progressive character. In 2006, I invited her to appear in a project shot by Bruce Weber. Since then, I've always wished to collaborate with her further, knowing that she shares the radical spirit of Balenciaga."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Mia Wasikowska has replaced Hailee Steinfeld as the face of Miu Miu.
The Jane Eyre actress is set to star in the Spring/Summer 2012 campaign for the Italian fashion brand and the promotional shots - taken in London in December - will show Mia wearing black eyeliner, red lipstick and showcasing the latest designs along with accessories and handbags.
Hailee, 14, was recruited by Miu Miu in May but quickly ran into controversy when an image from her campaign was removed over safety concerns. The picture - taken by fashion photographer and film-maker Bruce Weber and showing the True Grit actress sitting on a train track while wiping away a tear - was blasted by the Advertising Standards Authority as "irresponsible" because it depicts a child in an unsafe location.

Mila Kunis Is the New Face of Dior
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Mila Kunis is the new face of Christian Dior. The Black Swan actress has been signed up by the French fashion house to front its spring fashion campaign, which has been shot by Mikael Jansson.
"Mila Kunis is a very talented young actress; she embodies the true modern woman. Her performance in Black Swan was remarkable. She is very gifted. We are looking forward to a long relationship with her," said Delphine Arnault, deputy general manager at Dior.
Mila, 28, says she is still in the process of learning about fashion, but has always been a huge fan of Dior's designs: "I'm honestly just learning about fashion. In my daily life, I don't wear the most feminine pieces. But I love to feel feminine when I'm on the red carpet. I find that Dior is an incredibly grounded house. I always thought what Dior does is so sophisticated, feminine and beautiful."
She also said she enjoyed shooting the campaign, revealing, "They made me feel incredibly comfortable. I can't say it was the hardest thing to do."
Alex Chung’s Mean Fashion Show
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Alexa Chung admits her new fashion TV show is "really intense." The British beauty - who creates her own fashion range as well as TV presenting and DJ-ing - admits "24 Hour Catwalk," where designers are challenged to create a runway collection in a day, is tough and she believes even she began to go crazy as she had to stay up as long as the contestants.
"It's a very mean show. It's really intense. There's designers - there's a first round challenge where two of them go, and then the next two are really excited and pumped to be through and then we're like, 'Wait, you have to create a collection in 24 hours'. So then they have to stay awake all through the night. It's very mean, they get very emotional. But it also involves me staying up for 24 hours too! By episode six I was losing my mind," she said when speaking about the show on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Alexa is loved by many designers, with Christopher Kane previously stating she manages to always look phenomenal: "It was just one of those things. She contacts me, she wanted to wear something so it's great. She looks phenomenal, she always does."
Diane von Furstenberg: ‘Less is More’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
Diane von Furstenberg believes "less is more" with make-up.
The iconic fashion designer - who turned 65 on December 31, 2011 - thinks it is important to be sparing with facial cover ups as you get older, and she specifically believes in accentuating cheekbones: "As I get older, I've found that less is more when it comes to make up. My signature look has always been about emphasizing my cheekbones and I love Nars Multiple Bronzer. It's a great way of giving your face a mini-lift without the surgery."
Now, Diane - who has her surname thanks to her marriage to Prince Egon of Furstenberg, with whom she split in 1972 - keeps youthful with regular exercise and a healthy diet. "Although I think it's important to maintain yourself, it should be without too much labor. I love hiking and when I'm at the office I make sure I always take the stairs, even with heels on. I haven't always been an angel but I've never gone too crazy either. I live pretty cleanly, enjoy a glass of red wine every now and again. The food you eat is super-important - an unhealthy lifestyle will always catch up with you," she told Marie Claire.
Cheryl Cole Wants More Beckham Dresses
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Cheryl Cole wants to own more Victoria Beckham dresses in 2012. The stylish beauty donned one of the former Spice Girl singer's creations for an awards show in London earlier this year, and she admits she is very keen to wear more of them in the next 12 months.
"I think Victoria Beckham is another girl who killed it this year. I love Victoria, I love her clothes and, actually, my festive wish would to be wearing more of it next year."
Despite seeing her profile peak during her stint as a judge on UK TV show X Factor - for which she became known for her style - Cheryl admits fashion was the last thing on her mind when she was on the show: "At the moment, I'm not constantly on TV, it's not as intense as it once was. I feel more relaxed because I'm judging doing music, going to the studio. To be honest, when I was on X Factor, what I wore was the least of my worries. But it's nice now not to have to even think about it, just to have a weekend."
Rachel Zoe Adding to Collection

Rachel Zoe is launching two new top-secret categories for her clothing line in February. The celebrity stylist - who launched her eponymous label earlier this year - will be adding to the collection but won't reveal what it will be.
"I'd have to kill you if I told you," she said in a video. The range already included ready-to-wear, shoes and bags so it is thought she may branch out into beauty and accessories.
As well as launching her debut fashion range, Rachel - who has previously worked with the likes of Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz - became a mother to son Skyler earlier this year and compared the collection to "giving birth."
"Being a designer was the thing that I always said, 'I'm never going to do this, because I'm too scared to do this.' All of sudden during my presentation this season, I was like 'Oh my god, why am I doing this, I'm too scared to do this. Then it was like, it was almost like giving birth. When it was over, I was like, 'This is the most exciting, most challenging adventure. This is new, and this is fun.'"
Ashley Greene says it's "very cool" to appear on a giant billboard for DKNY.
The actress is the new face of the brand and says it was amazing to see her campaign be unveiled in New York's Times Square yesterday. "This is very cool. There are a lot of firsts for me here today. It's my first photo op in Times Square, my first time on one of these buses and my first billboard for DKNY Jeans. It's an exciting day. The campaign shots turned out great. They're such talented photographers and really captured the essence of New York."
Ashley is also an ambassador for Mark cosmetics and said she's happy that the two brands she works with are so complementary: "They pair together nicely. They reach the same demographic - young and carefree. And they both provide a positive message of empowerment for women."
The full DKNY advertising campaign featuring Ashley will be out beginning in early January.
Lindsay Lohan Becomes Face of Jag Jeans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Lindsay Lohan has become the new face of Jag Jeans. The actress - who recently posed naked for Playboy magazine - recently shot a campaign for the denim brand and impressed bosses with her professionalism.
"As Jag Jeans' newest endorser, Lindsay embodies the strength and fearlessness of the woman of today. She is unafraid to be who she is. She is fierce yet exudes feminine grace," a press release read. "Lindsay was so involved with the shoot that she would go as far as adjusting items on the set. She even requested scissors so she could personally fray the edges of her black crepe blouse because she believed it would look better that way. Lindsay would take a hands-on approach to her shots, as she was more than willing to change her hairstyle during mid-shoot and even used her own personal jewelry and accessories when needed."
