Quote of the Day: Victoria Beckham on Her Bitchiness
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Rumors, Women,
“People think I’m a moody bitch. I do have my insecurities. Maybe that is why I look a little bit serious. The kind of person who’s going to stand on the red carpet and love the attention and have the big grin — I’m just not like that. I want to get in there, do what I’ve got to do, and get home to my kids.”
- Appearing on Elle‘s October cover, Spice Girl-turned-fashion icon Victoria Beckham tells the magazine what she’s really like (despite her fierce look).
(Make sure to check out other notable quotes.)

Katie Holmes Bumps Victoria Beckham Out of Maxfield
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales,
For some bizarre reason, Katie Holmes‘s fashion range is set to replace Victoria Beckham’s at a US store.
It has been claimed Los Angeles boutique Maxfield will sell Katie’s new collection Holmes and Yang, after dropping her close friend’s denim line dVb by Victoria Beckham.
A source told the New York Post, “Maxfield no longer carries dVb. It is because of poor sales.”
However, Beckham’s representative insists the exclusive boutique hasn’t stocked Victoria’s denim collection for some time: “Maxfield has not carried any dVb product for the past three seasons.” Maxfield’s representative wouldn’t say when the store dropped the fashion line.
This isn’t the first shop to stop stocking Victoria’s designs.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models,
David Bailey thinks that there is “no personality” in modern fashion photography.
The legendary photographer, who has worked with stars including model Jean Shrimpton, Sir Mick Jagger, and Damon Albarn, claims air-brushing has taken much of the mystique out of the profession.

Rihanna Goes Topless For Vogue
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Women,
Rihanna has posed topless for Italian Vogue.
The “Umbrella” singer has taken part in a raunchy photo shoot with famed fashion photographer Steven Klein for the magazine’s annual couture supplement.
The Grace Jones-inspired cover of the special publication sees the star clad in a structural feathered Valentino gown and patent knee-high boots, throwing a bucket of water at the camera. Inside, the daring pictures see the “S.O.S.” star clad in just skimpy pants, with glitter covering her chest. Other images show her in a Madonna-style conical bra, and another has her donning a sharp-shouldered jacket teemed with just lace knickers and suspenders and boots.
The Barbados-born beauty’s hair also dazzles in the pictures, sculpted into a range of high quiffs and cones, teamed with dramatic dark eye make-up and deep red lips.
Most of the pictures have been shot in black and white, with a lone color photograph depicting her wearing a turquoise dress and boots.
Fashion Police: Ashley and Mary-Kate Go Wild
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Women,
While Ashley Olsen may be pondering her fashion career, she and sister Mary-Kate will always be making the news with what they happen to throw on.
In this case, it’s the mouse and rabbit Maison Michel lace ears that they donned at the Opening Ceremony party in Japan last week. Considering Lady Gaga slapped one on her head for a magazine cover, do you find it a step forward or backward for the fashionable twins?

Victoria Beckham Makes Swinging Classy
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Sales, Women, Dresses,
When Victoria Beckham declined signing on to her Armani ads for another year to pursue her designing career, I was scared.
That was until she turned her American Idol appearances into a fashion show. That was also before I saw her short film, “Swings,” (above) which showcases her Fall/Winter 2009 collection.

Rodarte Sisters Have Eyes for Film
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Women,
Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the brains and heart behind Rodarte, have an eye for more than fashion.
Horror film fans themselves (think Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead, and Hellraiser), the sisters have ventured into the media world, signing with William Morris Endeavor Entertainment.
In a statement released by the Beverly Hills-based agency, they plan to “advise the label on opportunities in publishing and film and identify potential strategic partnerships and sponsorships.”
In light of fashion-meets-film’s success with the Vogue-centric The September Issue, I have no doubt that the Rodarte sisters will outperform our expectations in whatever endeavors they pursue in publishing and film—I just can’t wait!
Rodarte’s PR agency since 2005, Black Frame, is expected to continue with the brand’s global marketing.

The entire collection, including men’s and women’s shoes, bags, and accessories, hits stores November 14.

Fashion Police: Avril Lavigne’s Anti-Prom
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Women,
Despite running into some possible marital problems, celebrity perfumer and fashion designer Avril Lavigne turned heads in the Hamptons.
While her more glamorous era undoubtedly beats her “Sk8er Boi” days, I’m not too keen on pairing the gothic prom dress with rainbow Hot Topic pumps. What do you think—successful upgrade or transition failure?
