Transformers Inspires Louise Goldin
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Sales, Women, Dresses, Footwear,
Fashion designer Louise Goldin has once again collaborated with Topshop for their current Fall/Winter ‘09 collection, and she’s going sci-fi with the knitwear!
“The collection was inspired by Transformers and robots. I have a collection of Transformer memorabilia, both old and new; I find it very inspirational. I wanted to create a range of cool jumpers; I emblazoned some jumpers with robot artworks, and I looked at the various style lines and colors from the body armor of Transformer action figures to create dresses, leggings and tops. A particular favorite - the robot jumper with the leggings, and of course the shoes which will be coming soon!”

Lindsay Lohan Demands Free Clothes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales, Women, Accessories,
Much like when she refused to pay a bar tab, Lindsay Lohan has now “offended” a designer boutique after demanding free clothes.
The failed creative advisor for Ungaro has upset exclusive Los Angeles boutique Kitson - which stocks Lindsay’s leggings line 6126 - after she reportedly demanded $15,000 in free merchandise from a shop assistant earlier this month.
Store owners are upset by the 23-year-old’s demands because she reportedly failed to fulfil her promotional duties after they splashed out a huge sum on stocking her leg-wear range. A spokesperson told Fox News, “We’re actually really offended. The tables have turned and now we’re the customer. We spent $50,000 on her leggings line, but she hasn’t come to the store in three years, and she didn’t even do a personal appearance. “
Staff at the shop - which is on Robertson Boulevard - have now threatened to withdraw the collection from their store: “She should have brought cookies for the staff to thank them for selling her leggings because she does nothing. We don’t know if we’ll continue to carry them.”

Sequins, glitter, and knits galore! H&M has launched the images featuring a look at their Holiday 2009 collection. The international retail chain seems to have the best of both holiday worlds—the glitz and glamor as well as the traditional, sweaters and mittens (Gap much?).
The campaign (more pictures after the break) features models Sasha Pivovarova, Missy Rayder, Malgosia Bela, Ben Hill and Ryan Thomas.

Lindsay Lohan Facing the Axe at Ungaro
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,
Not that it’s too much of a surprise, the House of Emanuel Ungaro’s chairman is desperate to axe Lindsay Lohan‘s contract with the label.
The Mean Girls actress’ debut collection for the French fashion house was a critical flop and her continued association with the brand has caused a row with chairman Asim Abdullah and CEO Mounir Moufarrige.
A source revealed, “Asim wants her out now. Department stores in the States have already told him they won’t be picking up the line if Lohan remains a collaborator, so it’s a serious issue. Mounir wants to keep her on because it was his idea to hire her in the first place. He’s trying to save face.”
A spokesperson for Ungaro’s chairman denied any rift between him and Mounir; the representative said, “Such an insinuation is totally absurd.”
Earlier this month, Emanuel Ungaro - who has had no contact with the fashion house since his 2005 departure - blasted Lindsay’s collection.
Quote of the Day: Tom Ford on Acting

“You know, I used to act when I was younger, but I quit. I did it from about 17 to 24. I was too self-conscious. I didn’t like it. I wasn’t in control.”

Quote of the Day: Miley Cyrus Started Plaid
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
“We look into fashion designs very much in advance. We started the plaid shirts and the cheetah pants before people started seeing it [on runways]. When you first look at it as a designer, you think, ‘Okay, this is going to be a little crazy.’ But you don’t know what’s going to be in in a year like Max [Azria] does. Max looks at other designers, and you know it’s very advanced. He’s got the inside scoop.”

Stella McCartney to Team Up With Leona Lewis
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
With stylish stars like Angelina Jolie dressing kids in her clothes, it’s no wonder that more celebrities want to line up with Stella McCartney.
Pop singer Leona Lewis has her eyes aimed at such a collaboration, specifically an eco-friendly one.
“Leona and Stella got on famously. They are both vegetarians, don’t wear leather and are huge animal lovers. The [fashion] line would be very animal-friendly,” reveals an anonymous source.
The news comes after the pair were spotted being awfully chatty at a charity event, Children In Need, in London. Although McCartney has designed costumes for the film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, this team-up would be her first with a celebrity, despite having previous done lines for Adidas and H&M.

Lindsay Lohan Scores Another Fashion Gig
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women, Accessories,
UPDATE: Pascal Mouawad tells WWD that the collaboration is “not happening.” Oops on Lindsay!
In extremely troubling and mind-boggling fashion news, Lindsay Lohan has actually been hired for another fashion gig, this time in the jewelry department.
Aside from the fact that fashion designer Emanuel Ungaro slammed Lohan for sucking his former house of its soul, did we all forget about those few photo shoot instances where jewelry went missing? I daresay that she’s got some convincing people working for her!
Word around the fashion town says that the hard partying starlet is teaming up with Pascal Mouawad to design a jewelry line for Bebe (first the Kardashian sisters, now Lindsay!). Mouawad recently aided Nicole Richie with her own jewelery collection for the San Francisco-based retailer—one would think that they’d spread these things out.
“Pascal and I are actually working together, we’re doing something with a friend who owns bebe. We’re doing a collection for them and we’re also going to be doing some other things,” Lindsay dished.
Can Mouawad help this poor soul who has clearly lost track of her career path?

Quote of the Day: Lady Gaga Takes Styling Cues From Art
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
“My Jean-Paul Goude [Matthew Williams was] the inspiration that made the connection for me between the art world and the fashion world. He used to say things like ‘If you want to make a shoulder pad, don’t research jackets—research sculpture, mineral rocks, paintings.’ He thinks in a different way; he is the designer of the future.”

Victoria Beckham Praises Emma Watson
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
If we haven’t convinced you to love Emma Watson, perhaps Victoria Beckham can!
Even though Beckham’s range boasts customers like Elle Macpherson, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez, and Blake Lively, the pop star-turned-designer says that she’d love to dress the Harry Potter starlet: “[Emma is] so sweet, so true to herself. There are so many young girls wearing too much make-up, too much hairspray—I find that very dated.”
So whose celebrity style does Beckham admire?
