Androgynous It Model Andrej Pejic Stars in JPG Campaign
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Fashion Designers, Models,
Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring/Summer 2011 campaign preview is out, photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. The photos star Karolina Kurkova and Andrej Pejic -- can you tell who's who?
I could be casting off the images because Love beat them to the punch with their Lea T/Kate Moss cover, but I just don't think that Gaultier's version is as interesting, considering they're creating the illusion of a gay couple. Well, I suppose it wouldn't be an illusion to those who have no idea Andrej is a male model. On a different note, I understand that Gaultier needs his logo in there somewhere, but does it have to be so blatant and distracting?
For a better look at Andrej's feminine face, check out the other photo after the jump.

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.
Is Kelly Osbourne the New Face of Material Girl?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, Rumors,
Kelly Osbourne is reportedly set to be unveiled as the new face of Madonna's Material Girl clothing line.
The Fashion Police presenter will take over the role from Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen after the brand recently launched an appeal on its website, asking fans to choose their preferred celebrity ambassador for the label.
"Kelly's always been a massive fan of Madonna and recently heard Lourdes idolized her, which she was very flattered by. It's a huge coup," said a close friend of Kelly's.
The new appointment could help to heal a rift between Madonna, 52, and Kelly's mother, presenter and rock manager Sharon Osbourne, who is renowned for her sharp tongue. "She is full of s**t. I would like to punch her. She's a tart," Sharon said of Madonna in 2005.
A source, however, revealed Sharon will support Kelly if she does take on the modeling gig: "Sharon and Kelly are very, very close and she will support her daughter with all her heart, like she does all her children. If Kelly ends up modeling for Material Girl, it will be great."
Milan Menswear Fashion Week Brings Fun,Color
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models, News, Rumors,
Vivienne Westwood's menswear collection was a hit at Milan Menswear Fashion Week yesterday.
The British designer managed to bring a touch of fun to the showcase as she sent her male models - wearing the brand's Fall/Winter 2011 designs - down the catwalk sporting slicked back hair and crimson lipstick. The streamlined collection included checks, 50s tailoring, patterned knits and elaborate prints.
Marni and Emporio Armani also showcased their collections yesterday while Missoni focused on bright colors and vivid prints, with an eye-catching raincoat one of the highlights.
Burberry Prorsum and Roberto Cavalli opened Milan Menswear Fashion Week on Saturday with Dolce & Gabbana using the color red to brighten up their designs. Milan will finish today with shows by Gucci, Versace and Pringle of Scotland, but all eyes will be on Sarah Burton as she shows her second Alexander McQueen men's range after enjoying rave reviews last year.
Paris Menswear Fashion Week will kick off on Wednesday with the Thierry Mugler show where Lady Gaga has been confirmed as "musical director."
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.

-- Natalie Portman is stunning in her Christian Dior ad for the fragrance Miss Dior. Knowing that she's an animal rights activist, I can't help but feel reminded of the "I'd Rather Be Naked" campaign...
-- Sasha Pivovarova returns to Miucci Prada's fashionable arms in her Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2011 ads, shot by Mert and Marcus.
-- Take that, Blake! Not to be outshined by her Gossip Girl co-star's Chanel gig, Leighton Meester strikes a pose for Missoni. When there's a will to do high fashion, there's a way.
-- Lindsey Wixson gets in front of Terry Richardson's lens for Opening Ceremony's Spring/Summer 2011 lookbook. Apparently, Terry can do cute and adorable without being sleazy.
-- Speaking of Richardson, Paris Hilton (remember her?) posted a picture of the two on her Twitter, propagating the news that she's going to be in a Vogue editorial -- Vogue Turkey, that is.

Lindsey Wixson is the new face of Alexander McQueen. The 16-year-old model will star in the label's new Spring/Summer 2011 brand images, which will appear in stores, billboards and on the fashion house's website.
In the shots, Lindsey - who has appeared in campaigns for Versace - has her hair neatly woven into a lattice-like plait and wears a sleeveless printed dress with delicate scalloped edges, set against a backdrop of butterflies. The campaign is the first one to have been directed by Sarah Burton, who took over as the label's creative director following the tragic suicide of Alexander McQueen last February.

Alexa Chung recommends investing in expensive items of clothing.
The model-turned-TV presenter - whose unique sense of style has seen her voted one of the world's most fashionable women - says it's important to splash out on a few quality pieces as they will never go out of fashion.
"My ultimate style tip is to invest in pieces that will see you through a good few seasons - I definitely think it's worth spending a bit more on clothes you'll wear time and time again."
Although she is into fashion now, Alexa, 27, insists it hasn't always been that way: "When I was younger, I didn't really care that much about clothes, to be honest. I used to live in cowboy boots and denim skirts, and I wore a lot of my brother's clothes! The highlight of my youth was seeing Vivienne Westwood's wedding dress on The Clothes Show. People say I've got geek-chic style, but I don't try to be geeky! I think I look cool. I'm short-sighted, so I have to wear glasses. My style generally is preppy and tomboyish - I never wear anything too sexy."
