Heidi Klum Moves in Trainer to Shed Baby Weight
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
Supermodel Heidi Klum‘s personal trainer has moved in with her to help get her into shape.
The German supermodel is desperate to shed the weight she gained while pregnant with daughter Lou - her fourth child who was born last month - before a Victoria’s Secret catwalk show next week and has embarked on a grueling diet and exercise regime under the guidance of expert David Kirsch.
A source said, “Heidi’s swapped processed carbs, sugar, dairy and fruit for egg-white omelettes, spinach salads and grilled tuna with quinoa. She’s determined to wow everyone when she walks. She’s pushing herself through gruelling twice-daily workouts.”
Heidi has previously admitted she is struggling to lose her baby weight and finds it much tougher than she did after having her other children, Leni, five, Henri, four, and Johan, three: “I wouldn’t say I’m back in shape yet. Everything changes when you get older. It was different when I was 31 with the first one and now being 36 with the fourth one.”
She is now hitting the treadmill and eating sensibly in a bid to get back in shape as she fears she will remain bigger forever if she doesn’t act now: “I think that if you wait too long and it sticks there it stays that way forever. I have to be motivated.”

Heidi Klum to Host, Not Walk
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Supermodel Heidi Klum will host this year’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
The model mum, who gave birth to fourth child Lou Sulola Samuel three weeks ago, has always modeled at the annual show, but decided that her body isn’t ready to hit the catwalk.
Organizers were so keen to keep the German beauty—who famously once wore a million-dollar bra at the show—involved she will now be hosting instead, with the Black Eyed Peas lined up to play a set. The show returns to New York for the first time since 2005 and will be filmed this month before airing on CBS in December.
Heidi had previously said she was worried she might not get back into shape fast enough and would be devastated if she couldn’t take part in the show. In August, she said, “The last time I gave birth, I had two months, and I don’t know if I have that much time this time. It was pushing it the last time. But if I don’t make it, I’m sure I’ll be very sad.”
The 36-year-old model already has sons Henry, four, and two-year-old Johan with husband Seal, and five-year-old daughter Leni from a previous relationship.
Lindsay Lohan Worked For Free
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Rumors,
The Lindsay Lohan-Ungaro debacle continues to be making headlines; this time, reports are saying that the starlet wasn’t paid for her creative advisor position.
The 23-year-old actress worked on designs with the fashion house’s new head designer Estrella Archs for three weeks, but was given $147,000 worth of free clothes in place of payment.
A source revealed, “Ungaro is not paying her at all to be a consultant for them. Her team is working to get Lindsay some form of payment from the fashion house, but right now they will only give her free clothes. The deal is perfect for them - they have nothing to lose, even though the clothes were not a big hit.”
It has even been claimed she paid for her flight and hotel at Paris Fashion Week herself, when her range debuted there earlier this month. The line, which she described as “a dream come true,” was slammed as “underwhelming” and “non-skilled” by fashion journalists.
But speaking about her clothes, Lindsay defiantly said, “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I didn’t expect everyone to be completely loving the collection.”
Quote of the Day: Lily Cole on Failure
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models,
“I’ve never studied the correlation between the decades of plenty and the size of models, but it’s interesting, for sure. I was never asked to lose weight. I’m assuming people who are less successful are the ones who are told they need to be teeny to be so.”

Lindsay Lohan Places Ungaro Blame Elsewhere
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,
I hate
love to say it: everyone told you so, Ungaro.
Critics did not bide well with the House of Emanuel Ungaro’s Spring/Summer ‘10 collection, which debuted at Paris Fashion Week. All eyes, naturally, were glaring at the much-buzzed about celebrity advisor Lindsay Lohan, and she wasn’t willing to take the hits without a fight.
The first of her many excuses was “coming in so late and having not that much time to do a whole collection.” As if she didn’t revel in the positive, hopeful stories on her exciting appointment—accepting the offer so last minute wasn’t exactly something the currently-blonde actress thought out.
She also claims to have no idea about those infamous nipple tassels: “I wasn’t aware of the nipple tassels on the girls until they were walking out.” Surely she must have been intoxicated during that meeting.
The best explanation was her inexperience card, which she actually believed to be legitimate, stating that she’s “still learning.” Shouldn’t someone be firing her already? There’s a reason why people aren’t employing her in films, people.

Karl Lagerfeld Defends Thin Models
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Women,
Living fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld has blasted “fat mummies” for their attitudes against skinny models.
The 71-year-old Chanel designer criticized Brigitte magazine’s announcement that they will only use “ordinary, realistic” models in future, insisting that people prefer looking at slim women and the “absurd” decision was driven by overweight women who did not want to be reminded of their body problems.
“These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly. Fashion is all about dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.”
Another designer, John Ribbe, has also spoken out, saying the row over models’ weight is becoming hysterical: “It’s just as much a cliche as saying that all models take drugs and get drunk at sex orgies. Ninety per cent of them are quite normal, properly proportioned girls with less fat and more muscles who also eat pizzas and burgers.”
Brigitte are planning to release their first edition with non-professional models on January 2nd and are urging readers to sign up for photo sessions, saying that they are tired of having to “fatten up” pictures. Editor Andrea Lebert said, “We will show women that have their own identity—the 18-year-old A-level student, the company chairwoman, the musician, the footballer.”
Karl Lagerfeld’s Opinions on Paris Fashion Week
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows,
Karl Lagerfeld thinks only “impressive” shows should be staged at Paris Fashion Week.
The legendary designer - who showed his eponymous label’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection at the event as well as that of Chanel, where he is creative director - claims uninspiring shows have no place at the French capital’s event.
In an interview with singer Katy Perry for Elle.com, Karl said: “I think there are great people and collections here, like Lanvin. For me, it’s important that there are a lot of impressive collections at Paris because otherwise it’s not worth coming. There has to be exciting people and exciting shows here or else it all falls flat.”

Outdoors Inspire Dsquared
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News, Men, Women, Footwear, Boots, Outerwear,
While Jeremy Scott looked to the Flintstones for his Spring/Summer ‘10 collection, Dsquared looked to camping.
Designers Dean and Dan Caten even injected the topic into the set of their show at Milan Fashion Week, with curtains drawing to reveal a woodland scene with tents and mirrors resting on trees.
The clothes included cut-off shorts, T-shirts, and jean jackets teamed with vertiginous platform shoes. In case of bad weather, models were given full-length clear plastic macs with neon trims, worn over eye-popping bikinis. Caps were also a big look, with a purple evening gown accessorised with the headgear and a bottle of Budweiser beer.
Men were also catered for at the show, with the twin designers—who recently designed costumes for Britney Spears‘s Circus tour, and have previously dressed Justin Timberlake, Madonna and Lenny Kravitz—dressing them in gardening gloves and leggings teamed with walking boots. More wearable were the suit jacket, shirt and skinny tie combination.
Amber Rose Sports Lip Ring

Amber Rose appeared at Milan Fashion Week on Kanye West‘s arm. Nothing too different, aside from her latest face jewelry.
The budding catwalk queen sported a lip piercing on the middle of her bottom lip. Not the usual fashion model fare, but Amber’s not the typical model.
What do you think of her new look?

Pamela Anderson Leaves Clothes Behind For Runway
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Women,
Swimsuit lover Pamela Anderson has been making quite the rounds in the fashion industry lately. First she appeared in Vivienne Westwood’s campaign and now she’s walking down runways… with barely any clothing.
Anderson took to Air New Zealand Fashion Week in nothing more than a hot pink g-string, heels, and a barely-there shawl, promoting a line she worked on with Heatherette fashion designer Richie Rich (who rollerskated next to her down the catwalk).
