Stella McCartney Admired Mother’s Style
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Women,
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Stella McCartney said that her collections are inspired by her late mother’s daring style. The British designer admires Linda McCartney, who died in 1998 from breast cancer, because she made brave fashion choices and refused to conform.
“I love the way my mother wore clothes. She used to always cut her own hair and wore very little make-up, and she just did things differently. She used to wear odd, different-color argyle socks—which takes balls in the public eye—but then she also wore beautiful British tailored suits and little tea dresses with platform shoes. That is sort of how people dress now, so she was very modern and ahead of her time in many ways. She didn’t give a damn about what people thought, and back then it was all about conforming. It really wasn’t the done thing to reflect your own personality through your clothes.”
Stella also inherited her mother’s strict vegetarian diet and opposition to wearing clothes made from animal products.

Sass and Bide Plan UK Anniversary
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Women,
Sass and Bide will celebrate its 10th anniversary at London Fashion week.The quirky Australian clothing label will return to the British fashion scene this September to pay tribute to the city where designers Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton founded the business idea.
The designers said: “Ten years ago the concept for Sass and Bide was born in London. To be returning here ten years later, showing in a city that we love so much and that fuels our creativity, is really exciting.”
The Sydney-based pair—whose celebrity fans include Lindsay Lohan and Russell Brand—will host their show on Friday September 18 at 7:15pm in central London.
As well as marking the label’s landmark birthday, London Fashion Week will also be celebrating its 25th anniversary. British Fashion Council chairman Harold Tillman said he and his colleagues are “delighted” about the joint celebration. He explained:
“We are delighted that Sass and Bide will show their collection in London this season. The company has built a strong international following over the past decade and they are a great addition to our schedule as we both celebrate landmark anniversaries.”
Celebrities’ and Designers’ New York Night Out
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Sales, Men, Women,
Cindy Crawford, P. Diddy, and Hugh Jackman are set to celebrate Fashion’s Night Out in New York. A host of Hollywood celebrities and style icons will join forces for an evening of extravagant shopping events, shows, and parties across the US city—let’s hope that the world doesn’t implode when it happens.
The occasion—a celebration of New York being at the forefront of global fashion—has been founded by Vogue magazine, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, tourism group NYC, and Company and the City of New York.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour said:
“Little did I think when the idea of Fashion’s Night Out was first dreamed up this past March during the Paris collections that we would have over 700 and counting retailers, designers, and brands joining us on the night of September 10. Of course, I’ve always known the New York fashion industry to rise brilliantly to a challenge, but I am absolutely thrilled, awed, and more than a little proud that it has reacted so brilliantly to this initiative. There is so much planned that we could shop till dawn and still not see and do everything.”

Marc Jacobs Dreads Fashion Week Stress
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Women,
Marc Jacobs the Fierce is dreading New York Fashion Week.
The US fashion designer admits the extra work involved in showcasing his collection is very stressful for him. When asked if he is excited about next month’s prestigious event, he replied: “No. Do I enjoy it? Enjoy is a weird word. It’s work - work is more what it’s about. It’s not fun.”
Although he is not looking forward to fashion week, Marc is excited at the prospect of marrying his boyfriend Lorenzo Martone.
He said: “It will happen soon. The wedding will be very quiet, just the two of us. We’re keeping it very simple.”
While the prospect of fashion week is filling him with dread, Marc recently described himself as a “cheerleader,” as he has the ability to inspire people around him and motivate his staff if he is in a good mood.
He said: “I am a bit of a cheerleader. I have to stimulate people, or I feel it is my role to stimulate people. So the better my attitude is and the better I’m feeling, the better everybody feels about being around me. What I give is definitely what I get back.”
Sesame Street may be nearing 40, but the show clearly hasn’t gone out of style.
The PBS program has already played host to a long list of actors, musicians and even First Ladies. Now the famous address is serving as a temporary runway for some of fashion’s latest designs.
For the September 2009 edition of Harper’s Bazaar, a number of designers showcase their creations with help from a few of the street’s most colorful characters. In addition to Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta (seen after the jump), Carolina Herrera, Diane von Furstenberg and Derek Lam join the fun.
You can see more photos from that issue here.

Alexander Wang Designs Very Masculine Menswear
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Videos, Men,
Alexander Wang posted a sneak peek video of his upcoming men’s line, and let’s just say that they do not look too different from those egregious Bod commercials from back in the day.
I admire his determination in creating a collection that non-flamboyant, more conservative men could wear; however, it wouldn’t be hard to shop this look at your local Wal-Mart. Please, please, please, Alex, say it isn’t so.

Victoria Beckham Catches the Blues in Boston
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Women, Dresses,
After her crimson mishap from a few days ago, Victoria Beckham knew just how to right her wrong in the most fabulous way.
Continuing her guest judging on American Idol, Posh Spice showed up to the second round of Boston auditions in a blue number from her own collection. Of all three one-toned outings, this look is the best of them all. That woman truly knows how to sell her line well, doesn’t she?

Katie Holmes and Her Stylist Unveil Collection
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Sales, Boys, Girls, Women,
Remember when Katie Holmes appeared at the Tropic Thunder premiere in that awful dress she designed? Well, prepare to bear witness to a matching clothing line resembling that dress.
Despite mixed feelings among fashion blogs regarding her fashion ventures, Mrs. Cruise appears to think that Miuccia Prada rubbed off on her enough during those Miu Miu ads to put out her own line.
Katie and her stylist Jeanne Yang will be putting out an entire collection most likely in similar taste to the star’s style. The “premium designer” line, labeled Katie & Yang, will include both women’s and children’s wear.
Said to be full of “classic fare,” the clothes will be sold exclusively at Maxfield in Los Angeles this fall.
With her acting resume, stint on Broadway, performance on So You Think You Can Dance?, and now this designing gig, Katie seems so confused as to what her calling in life truly is.
