Naomi Campbell Turns to Designing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models, Rumors,
Taking a break from the runway, Naomi Campbell has reportedly designed a line of jeans for Fiorucci.
The British supermodel is set to show her debut collection for the Italian denim wear label at Milan Men's Fashion Week - which is currently underway - although it has not been announced on event schedules.
While denim wear is thought to be an unusual choice for Naomi, 41, as she hardly ever wears jeans, she was spotted in denim at the recent Cannes Film Festival in May. However, on the rare occasions Naomi does decide to wear jeans, she usually relies on her close designer pal Victoria Beckham to get her out of a style rut.
"Victoria is amazing, a real sister. When I'm stuck in a rut, she's always at the other end of the phone to send a pair of jeans. They work wonders on the legs. I love her designs. I'm always in them. I've worked with Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and so many great designers. So I'm proud Victoria is up there too."
Fiorucci enjoyed huge success in the 70s and 80s and is now owned by Italian fashion giant Ittierre after financial and legal issues in the 90s.

Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire is the new face of Prada menswear. The actor is seen in a number of outfits for the campaign, shot by David Sims, and he reveals he is happy to do it because he is in "admiration" of the brand's head Miuccia Prada.
"A great supporter of the arts, Miuccia Prada has inspired a culture of creativity that is woven through every aspect of her company, from her collections and campaigns to every design detail in her stores. I have such admiration for her artistry and I'm thrilled to be a part of Prada's fall campaign."

Agyness Deyn is returning to Select Model Management from Models 1.
The British model, who shot to fame as the face of Burberry and became a Vogue cover star after signing for Select in 2002 before leaving them for Models 1, decided to return to the agency because they are "a safe pair of hands."
"Select were the agency who launched my career and I feel in very safe hands with them. It feels right to be here - it's like coming home."
Select Women's founder and director Chrissie Castagnetti added, "We're delighted that Agyness is back under our guidance. There are not enough British models showcased in fashion right now and whilst we're proud of all our girls, we have always had a passion for home grown talent and Agyness embodies that. It's great to be working with her again."
However, while she has become one of Britain's most successful models, Agyness - real name Laura Hollins - insists she has no interest in the industry that made her name and won't pursue a catwalk career forever: "You know, even though I'm in fashion, I don't, like, do fashion. Fashion isn't me, even though I work in it. It's just materialistic stuff. I just want to do whatever makes me happy."
Forbes Projects Gisele Bundchen to be First Billionaire Model
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News,
Former Victoria's Secret angel Gisele Bundchen is set to become the globe's first billionaire model.
The Brazilian beauty - who is married to Tom Brady, with whom she has son Benjamin, 18 months - has been named by Forbes magazine as the first woman to earn the figure, according to US currency rates, due to a combination of modeling work, endorsement deals, and design work.
In addition to campaigns for Swedish high street brand H&M and Italian fashion brand Versace, she has also made millions for selling 250 million pairs of her flip-flops for the Ipanema brand. She also has a lingerie line and a beauty care range - Sejaa Pure Skincare - which is rumored to be for sale.
Last month Gisele was named the highest earning model in the world for the seventh year in a row. She is thought to have earned $45 million over one year, having become the face of hair care brand Pantene in March 2010 and pushing sales up in South America by 40 per cent.
PHOTOS: Carine Roitfeld Styles Chanel Campaign
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Fashion Designers, Models,
After losing her longtime gig as the editor of Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld has returned to freelance styling. Even though she's self-employed, she doesn't have to look very far for work when she's best friends with creative directors like Karl Lagerfeld.
Chanel's head honcho hired Roitfeld to style the latest campaign for the label, starring -- of course -- Freja Beha Erichsen. While her styling abilities are indutibly fabulous, Lagerfeld's choice to shoot Freja in a photobooth brings down the quality of the photos quite a bit. While it's refreshing to see a change in the look of the campaigns, there's definitely a place for experimental shoots -- just not in glossy magazine pages.
