Karl Lagerfeld Debuts Short Film Remember Now
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News, Videos,
Karl Lagerfeld was joined by a host of beauties as he unveiled his new film last night.
The Chanel designer proudly premiered his short movie, Remember Now (check it out after the jump!), in the St. Tropez, South of France - just two days before the Cannes Film Festival - with Diane Kruger, Karolina Kurkova, Vanessa Paradis and Georgia May Jagger all there to show their support.
Karl - who is in town to show his Chanel Cruise collection - told WWD, “When I do a film, I see the movie before I’ve made it. I don’t make scripts because it’s written in my head. I like short one-liners.” The 17-minute film - which was screened at the town’s Cinema de la Renaissance - captures the good-natured summer hedonism of the beautiful area, which has become a playground for the rich and famous. Karl was allowed total control over the creative process and one of the stars of the film, Elisa Sednaoui, was impressed with his talents.
“Karl is a very spontaneous and creative director. He’s very responsive and alive for that. There’s no indecision, but he adapts himself,” Sednaoui said.

Fashion Novice Oscar de la Renta
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Oscar de la Renta is still learning about fashion.
The 77-year-old designer - who counts Megan Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker and Cameron Diaz among his fans - says he is fascinated by the industry and won’t quit until he knows everything there is to know:
“People always ask me how much longer I am going to do this, and I say the day I learn everything is when I should stop. I am a curious person, so every day is a learning process. There has never been a time as challenging as now to create clothes.”
Oscar admits he has to work hard to maintain his customer base because women nowadays have so many more designers they can choose from.
“Back in the 60s, my customers only got their clothes from one place. Today, that loyalty doesn’t exist as women want to project their own individuality through fashion. It’s about understanding the needs and aspirations of professional women that makes it so exciting.”
Yesterday, Oscar received the Colleagues Champion of Children Award at the charity’s annual spring luncheon in Los Angeles.
Estrella Archs Leaves Ungaro
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,
Drama continues to ensue at the House of Emanuel Ungaro as designer Estrella Archs quits.
The chief designer decided to leave her position at the French fashion house, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and now wants to concentrate on her own label. Her spokesperson said:
“Estrella Archs announces that she has left her job as chief designer of Emanuel Ungaro due to irreconcilable differences related to the creative direction of the brand. Estrella Archs will continue developing her own brand, established in 2007, and presenting her collections in the Paris Fashion Week.”
The fashion house are now looking for someone to replace her, with British designer Giles Deacon said to be the favorite.
Estrella’s departure comes hot on the heels of Lindsay Lohan parting ways with the company after she was brought in as artistic adviser. Her debut collection was critically panned and she wasn’t involved in the range which was showcased at Paris Fashion Week earlier this year.

Final Alexander McQueen Collection Unveiled
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Alexander McQueen‘s last-ever collection has been shown in Paris. The low-key showcase of the designer’s final work was shown to a small group of people and received a positive reception from the assembled journalists and employees.
The show, which was originally intended to take place in the Conciergerie, a former prison, was backed by the sepulchral 17th-century choral music Alexander had listened to while creating the collection, which consisted of high-necked, close-fitting satin dresses accessorized with high-heeled carved gold shoes and thigh-high boots.

Lindsay Lohan Not Involved With Latest Ungaro Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors, Sales,
UPDATE: According to WWD, Lohan reportedly said, “I don’t work for them [House of Emanuel Ungaro] anymore.”
Is there still a future in high fashion for Lindsay Lohan? According to the label, Lohan was “not involved” with the latest Emanuel Ungaro collection.
The actress was the artistic advisor for the French fashion house, but rumors are now rife she has been axed from her job after she failed to have any input for their latest designs, which were showcased at Paris Fashion Week.
Speaking about Lindsay, who was not present at the last week’s show, the brand’s owner Asim Abdullah told WWD, “She’s not involved in this collection.” Last year, Ungaro’s then CEO Mounir Moufarrige slammed rumors Lindsay was to be axed after her debut collection was a critical flop: “As we speak, she is in New York in shoots with Ungaro. The decision to appoint her was controversial, but then fashion is controversial anyway, and you need some novelties and you need to test some new ideas.”
Lindsay - who has her own fashion line 6126 - has previously admitted being associated with her can have negative consequences. The 23-year-old star said, “I’m the first to say that in certain situations, my name will cheapen things because that’s what people have made of it.”
Photographers Prohibited Allowed at McQueen Memorial
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Despite what Kanye West said about the late Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2010 collection, it appears as if he did complete most of his Fall 2010 line.
Originally set to premiere at Paris Fashion Week, the label has instead opted to showcase McQueen’s last collection in a memorial setting on March 9th and 10th. Very much unlike the live-stream of his Spring/Summer 2010 collection, photographers will not be permitted at the presentation. Photos of the pieces are (thankfully!) due to be released to the media.

Kanye West Sympathizes With McQueen
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,
Self-pronounced fashion icon Kanye West says that he can sympathize with the late Alexander McQueen because they were both “tormented” by their need to be creative.
The “Gold Digger” hitmaker believes that the fashion designer - who died last month after committing suicide - felt he had proved himself with his fantastic creations and perhaps there was no need for him to be on this earth any more.
“I’m tormented by the need to create. With the loss of McQueen I feel like we lost one of the faces of modern creativity’s Mount Rushmore. There were times that the only thing that kept me on this earth was the need and responsibility to create. Maybe McQueen felt his job was done because his last collection was the greatest of the decade. We are all so hurt. I know we’re selfish because he brought us so much joy and inspiration.”
The hip-hop star admits he often experiences “night demons” and thinks McQueen suffered in the same way. Writing on his blog, he said, “I know how it feels when the night demons come. We can’t let them control our hands and feet. Sometimes when it hurts so bad we have to just lay in the bed. Just lay in bed and don’t move please, I know how it feels. I wish McQueen could have just been still. Don’t let the psychiatrists give you their drugs because it slows down your wings.”
McQueen, 40, was found hung in his wardrobe at his London home just days after the death of his beloved mother.
Kelly Osbourne Comments on McQueen Death
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Reality star Kelly Osbourne says the fashion world will never be the same since the tragic death of Alexander McQueen.
The presenter was a close friend of the designer - who was found hanged in his London home last week after reportedly taking his own life - paid tribute to him and believes nobody will ever come close to his legacy.
“I’m devastated at the death of my friend Alexander McQueen, who, it seems, may have committed suicide at this London home last week. He was only 40 and the fashion world will never be the same without him. “There aren’t many great designers in the world, even fewer trendsetters. His fashion told a story, it meant something. He was distinctive and unique. No one will come close to replicating what he did.”
Meanwhile, Kelly took to the catwalk at New York Fashion Week on Sunday. The newly-slim star strutted herself at the Betsey Johnson show, which was inspired by saloon girls, vagabonds and gamblers. She was the first model of the evening with a bandanna mask, playfully wielding toy pistols before revealing her face.
