Like sister, like sister! Kate Moss' 13-year-old half sister has made her modeling debut.
Charlotte 'Lottie' Moss - daughter of Kate's father Peter Moss and his second wife Inger - posed last month for her first test shoot, which was arranged by Sarah Doukas at Storm Models, the agency who first discovered Kate at the age of 14.
"It's early days really. Storm, Kate's agent, felt that it was worth giving Lottie a test shoot and seeing how she turned out. She had a lovely time and she seemed to come out quite well - so everybody's happy so far. It will be very strictly controlled because she's not 14 yet so it's very early days. It will all be left to Sarah and Simon at Storm to decide what the best way ahead is. So we're going to have a chat with them later in the year, possibly before Christmas, just to decide how to go forward. It was a nice experience [for Lottie] to have a good photographer and the life of a photographic model, a day in the life as it were, but an exciting day for her. Well, you have to take advantage of any opportunities that come along haven't you? If things work out for Lottie and she eventually gets some work it could help her in her future. It's getting harder and harder to get jobs, university and things like that - so if she can get a couple of jobs early on and get something behind her maybe it makes life easier," said Lottie's dad Peter.

Beyonce Knowles Compliments Her Models
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models,
Beyonce Knowles made sure to compliment every one of the models during her House of Dereon show during London Fashion Week.
The singer-and-actress - who is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z - and her mother Tina unveiled their collection at exclusive store Selfridges on Saturday, and the models admit she was a pleasure to work for.
"The show was all about power and attitude and having fun which made me really excited as many shows only want models to display the clothes. When Beyonce came in, she complimented all of us. I told her how beautiful her collection was and how I really loved the feather accessory from my first look. Then I bent forward and tickled the feather on her face - haha! She was lovely and was glowing, an image of pregnant perfection," said Leomie Anderson.
Malaika Firth added, "Walking for Beyonce's House of Deron was possibly the best experience of my life yet alone my career. I never knew that I'd get the chance to work with her and I was so excited when she came backstage to talk to all of us!"
Supermodel Naomi Campbell thinks it is important to "remember her roots."
The British native is the focus of her new documentary about her life as part of the CNBC Meets series, and in the show she explains how her upbringing in London helped to inspire her charity work.
"I've really enjoyed working with Tania on this show, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished show. For me, it's really important to remember my roots and experiences growing up - it's those things that make you the person that you are. London will always be home to me, and it was so much fun to take a walk down memory lane and visit the house I grew up in."
Also in the documentary, Naomi talks about breaking barriers in fashion and her attempts to break down barriers for other black women, and there are also contributions from her mentor, legendary producer Quincy Jones and Duran Duran stars Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes.

First Look: Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 Ad Campaign
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Fashion Designers, Models,
Behold -- the first look at Alexander McQueen's Fall/Winter 2011 ad campaign!
Raquel Zimmermann glows -- literally -- in the post-apocalyptic-esque image, which is not unlike other macabre McQueen campaigns. While the flying particles aren't as distracting as, say, butterflies, I'm a bit undecided when it comes to the positioning of her arms.
What do you think of the new campaign?

Newlywed model Lara Stone doesn't like "most of" her body.
The Dutch 27 year-old is famed for her amazing figure, but admits she has her hang-ups and there are days when she doesn't want to leave the house because of how she's feeling.
"Most of it. It depends on the day. Like most women, I have days where I feel like today I'm not leaving the house - you know days where you've got a spot on your nose or when you've just got off a flight, eaten fish and chips and feel really bloated - that one happens a lot to me. You have to accept yourself though, and accept that there will always be something to worry about. It's much easier just to accept things," she said when asked which part of her body she isn't so keen on.
Although she isn't body confident, Lara has appeared in campaigns for many fashion houses and is one of the first models to represent so many different facets of the Calvin Klein brand, including lingerie, Calvin Klein Collection and its fragrances. "I love being part of so many elements of Calvin Klein, it's so nice to be able to be all these different women. You lose track of your identity a bit. There are many different aspects in different women and I think this is reflected in the different campaigns. All those facets are a part of me."
Pixie Lott Signs to Select Models
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Pixie Lott has signed with Select Models Management. The singer says she's thrilled to be working with such a prestigious agency because fashion has always played such an important role in her life.
"I've always loved experimenting with different looks and styles through work - it's one of the perks of the job! I've always been surrounded by clothes, and I love fashion and accessorising. I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't, which has helped to build my confidence and interest in fashion. Music and fashion go together well for me as they are both very expressive. I was asked to design a range for Lipsy, which was a great way to experiment more, and now I've got the opportunity to immerse myself in fashion at another level which is really exciting. Being with Select is like getting my first real fashion job after an apprenticeship!" said the 20-year-old beauty, who has her own clothing range with British high street store Lipsy.
Legendary model scout Tandy Anderson, of Select Model Management, told vogue.co.uk, "Pixie is stunning. She has presence, style, an infectious personality, and has already caught the eye of various designers and photographers, from Dolce & Gabbana to Ellen Von Unwerth. She's a talented and successful musician and we are confident that as a model, she can enjoy similar success."
St. John Makes Style Easy For Kate Winslet
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Models, News,
Oscar winner Kate Winslet says being stylish is hard work. The Mildred Pierce star admits being a busy working mother often leaves her with little time to plan her wardrobe, but praises American knitwear brand St John with helping her to look good.
"Being a person who wants to be able to pull off something that is stylish and comfortable and needing to be able to pull a good look together with not much time can often be extremely difficult but a company like St. John makes it so simple. The clothes are cut beautifully, the fabrics are elegant, you can look extremely chic without trying too hard. You don't feel that the clothes are something that only a model would be able to wear and obviously I'm not a model, I don't have a model shape, I have a real shape. These are the kind of clothes that I would wear, functional and practical. The St. John collection is effortless and chic, and I think speaks to how real women live and dress today," said Kate, who recently became the face of the brand.
Creative director George Sharp has previously said the star "captures the style" of the brand's targeted female audience:

Quote of the Day: Nicola Formichetti on Styling
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models,
“I was only used to dressing models and skinny kids. And I turned up and it was, like, three fat guys. I just left. That was the last time I tried to work with fat people. I think one of them was Ali G’s brother. It was so ghetto.”
