Items Du Jour: Japan Infiltrates Givenchy, Natalie’s Ring, and Lazy Lagerfeld
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
-- Riccardo Tisci borrowed a little inspiration from the East for Givenchy's Spring 2011 couture collection, which was modeled by an exclusively Asian cast. Like last year (much to many celebrities' dismay, I'm sure), Tisci limited the guest list to wealthy serious buyers.
-- Don't you wish you could vote Miuccia Prada into office? Well, the designer says that a life of politics is not out of the question.
-- A touch of Playboy bunny, a dash of Pirates of the Caribbean, and a sprinkle of Katy Perry make for Rihanna's upcoming music video for her song, "S&M."
-- Oscar nominee Natalie Portman's fiancé Benjamin Millepied looked to dancer-turned-jewelry designer Jamie Wolf when it came to choosing a one-of-a-kind design for the actress. "We wanted everything about the ring to speak to things that are important to Natalie," Wolf tells InStyle.
-- Who is Karl Lagerfeld's worst critic? Himself! The famed fashion designer tells Vogue that -- despite designing for his own label, Chanel, and Fendi -- he "could do better," and that he is "never pleased" with himself. He then gets pretentious by talking about how he reads pretentious books.

From model to actress to mother -- Devon Aoki is pregnant.
The 28-year-old model is expecting her first child with financier fiance James Bailey, and the pair are thrilled at the prospect of becoming parents.
"Devon and James are extremely happy. They became engaged over the summer, and she has just found out she is pregnant," her representative said.
Devon, who is the heiress to a large fortune as her father founded the Benihana chain of restaurants, began modeling at 13 and took over from Naomi Campbell as the face of Versace when she was 16. She then ventured into acting appearing in films such as Sin City and 2 Fast 2 Furious.
When she first burst onto the modeling scene, she was touted as the new Kate Moss and while she has never achieved the same success, Devon has huge admiration for the 36-year-old beauty: "I have a lot of love for her. I hate all the bad publicity she has had over the past year, because she is a wonderful person - she is a true icon."
Items Du Jour: Gwen for L’Oreal, Proenza Schouler, Daphne Talks
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors, Videos,
-- With her trademark red lips, it's about time a cosmetic company snatched Gwen Stefani up as their celebrity spokesperson! The singer-turned-fashion designer signed a contract with L'Oreal Paris; her full commercial will air during the Golden Globes.
-- Speaking of lips, Lindsay Lohan was spotted at the gym again (better there than at alcohol-infested locations), only this time her mouth looked detachable. I wonder if she's taking cues from her friend Kim Kardashian and blaming it on the flu...
-- Proenza Schouler released their second ever ad campaign. They're like the Givenchy ads, but with a splash of color. Thoughts?
-- If you're the least bit in love with fashion and you live in London, you ought to see Daphne Guinness speak at the Royal Academy on the 27th of the month. There's no other lecture on earth that could be greater than the psychology of clothes: "I once read an article in which a psychologist explained that, when we say we 'have nothing to wear,' it really means that we have nothing that expresses who we want to be that day," said the RA events and lectures manager Dr. Alison Bracker.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
Tom Ford says women of all ages and sizes can wear his clothes.
The designer launched his first womenswear collection in six years in 2010 with a star-studded fashion show, and while many of the models were A-list names, Tom insists his creations suit every type of female.
"The collection was designed for different women of different ages, with different body types and different personalities. Whoever you are, what we do is help you develop your own individual style."

Nicole Kidman Confesses to Botox Use
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Surprise! Nicole Kidman has confessed to using Botox.
The 42-year-old actress has previously denied using any cosmetic treatments to stop the appearance of any wrinkles, but now Nicole admits to trying the procedure but says it wasn't for her.
"I've tried a lot of things, but apart from working out and a good diet most things don't help. I even tried Botox but I didn't like how my face looked afterwards. Now I don't use it anymore - and I can move my forehead again!" Kidman is quoted as telling German magazine TV Movie.
The mother-of-three has always insisted she is "completely natural" and owed her youthful looks to taking care of herself: "To be honest I am completely natural. I have done nothing to my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, I don't smoke and I take care of myself, and I am proud to say that. Anybody can do anything to themselves - I don't judge - but personally I believe in being physically fit. That's how I was raised. I can't go in the sun because I'm fair-skinned. It was a nightmare when I was younger but it has its benefits now."
Add Rihanna to the List of Celebrities With a Perfume Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Rihanna's first perfume will reflect her strong personality. The "Only Girl (In The World)" singer's debut fragrance -- Reb'l Fleur -- will be befitting of her independent character and designers behind the fragrance say she has been more hands on than most in coming up with the perfect scent.
"This is not a shrinking violet kind of fragrance," said Kathleen Galvin, vice president of marketing and advertising at Parlux, which has developed the perfume with the star.
The title of the scent is a reference to a nickname Rihanna's grandmother gave her when she was growing up in Barbados, and she has also had it tattooed on her. Rihanna, 22, has long been known to mix different existing perfumes to create her own signature scent and said she wanted her own perfume to reflect the her roots in Barbados as well as her life in New York and Los Angeles.
She has described what she wanted to create as "like high heels with a short, flirty dress."

Crystal Renn Fronts Jimmy Choo
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models,
While 2010 was a great year for Crystal Renn, 2011 is already looking extremely promising for her, considering her new gig as the face of Jimmy Choo.
Photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Renn is absolutely beautiful -- despite the fact that she's set against backdrops that resemble American Apparel two-toned stockings. The plus-size model seems to have shed weight, but looks like she's down to a normal, healthy size (or could this be more handy work from a thinspired individual?).
Check out the rest of the photos after the jump.

Items Du Jour: Kim Kardashian on Glamour, Lady Gaga Tops Magazine Sales
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
-- Lady Gaga scored the highest number of monthly and bi-weekly magazines sold. Not surprisingly, the Rolling Stones cover with a nice view of her rear end sold 245,000 copies -- three times the magazine's 2010 average. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were the worst-selling celebrities.
-- Elle magazine's parent company Lagardere is in talks with Hearst (Harper's Bazaar publisher) to sell all 40-plus foreign editions of the fashion glossy (sans the original French version) as soon as the end of the month. Lagardere claims it will keep full editorial control, despite whatever happens in the sale.
-- Kim Kardashian covers Glamour in pajamas, which she makes look incredibly sexy, despite what she says in her interview: "I don’t find myself as sexy as everyone thinks. I’m a lot more insecure than people would assume, but with little stupid things." This must explain why she constantly poses nude or in skin-tight outfits.
-- Androgynous model Andrej Pejic stars in the latest Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign, alongside Ginta Lapina. One can actually detect that he's most likely a guy in the photo.

Tamara Mellon Stars in Jimmy Choo Perfume Ad
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
While perfume sales may not be up there for some celebs, fashion designers like Marc Jacobs and Dolce & Gabbana seem to fare better. Not surprisingly, Jimmy Choo has released its own fragrance, with its co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, Tamara Mellon, taking over modeling duties.
"We've transitioned into a lifestyle luxury brand, and it seemed like the next natural step for us... Fragrance is such an important accessory for women -- I think it will have a very broad reach. Our customer is every woman," Mellon explained.
Mellon worked closely with fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for the campaign (pictured above).

Jake Gyllenhaal isn't just dating a country singer -- he's landed himself a CoverGirl.
The first pictures of Taylor Swift as the cosmetic company's new face have just been revealed, and I think they're pics that would even be America's Next Top Model approved.
The 20-year-old was chosen by CG earlier this year to help front their nature-inspired line. "The Silk Foundation and Gloss Balm are really light and fresh, they feel amazing on my skin," Swift said in a press release.
The NatureLuxe products will become available in January.
