Style Advisor Agyness Deyn
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Site Announcements,
Moving from the catwalk to behind-the-scenes, Agyness Deyn is become a style advisor.
The supermodel has teamed up with journalist Fiona Byrne to create website naag.com, which will give fashion tips and their take on the latest trends.
“We’re not shoving anything down your throat. We’re just saying ‘This is rad.’ We’re not saying ‘You have to like this,’” Deyn said.
The website has already had some big coups, with profiles of Mark Ronson and Juliette Lewis, who are both friendly with the 25-year-old beauty. “I think because we’re friends, they trust us and like what we’re doing,” Deyn said of their involvement.
However, their dream interview would be with designer Alexander Wang: “He’s one of the most real people in fashion. Totally unpretentious and fun.” Although she will be giving out advice, last year Agyness revealed she isn’t a huge fashion fan 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.”

Matthew Williamson is to be the subject of a new book.
Matthew Williamson will follow the British-born fashion designer’s journey from his debut collection in 1997 up to his present day global success.
A host of big names are expected to contribute to the book on Williamson, who counts celebrities such as Keira Knightley, Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow among his fans. Actress Sienna Miller, a close friend and muse to the designer, will provide the foreword while a host of big names from the world of fashion will give contributions. These include Anna Wintour, British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, fashion designers Zandra Rhodes and Sir Paul Smith and Joan Burstein, founder of Browns boutique in London.
Written by fashion historian Colin McDowell, the book will be lavishly decorated in Williamson’s trademark vibrant colors and patterns. Released in October, the book will be accompanied by an exhibition at Somerset House in central London, which will run until January 2011. The exhibition will launch with a party on October 12 where the central courtyard of Somerset House will be made over in a Matthew Williamson theme.
Items Du Jour: Jessica Alba Saves the Day, Tom Ford Confirms Next Film
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
—Louis Vuitton models walked down the catwalk with temporary tattoos from artist Scott Campbell. Ed Hardy much?
—Actress Jessica Alba has completed her good deed of the week, swaying a 21 year-old Chinese woman from getting plastic surgery to look like her, in hopes of winning her ex-boyfriend back.
—Burberry’s Fall/Winter 2010 ad campaign has hit the interwebs. The photos star a beautiful and British blend of models and musicians. Great, another reason to be jealous of not being British.
—After the critical success of his directorial debut, it’s no wonder that Tom Ford is taking on a second film. Unfortunately, he’s not letting any details slip just yet.
—Emma Watson attended the Glastonbury Music Festival looking somewhat stylish. I’m loving her Louis Vuitton corset, but not necessarily agreeing with her choice in blue jean shorts.

Mischa Barton Heavily Photoshopped in Philipp Plein Ad
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
The acting world doesn’t seem to want her, so Mischa Barton marches on with her recent foray into modeling. As of late, Barton appears in an ad campaign for German fashion designer Philipp Plein looking thinner (not to mention also oddly proportioned) than in real life.
In light of the onslaught of negative reactions to Ralph Lauren and Ann Taylor’s overly photo edited images, you’d think that clothing designers would have taught their graphic artists a lesson. Although Barton’s pose is odd to begin with, her waist and right hip and thigh look abnormal!
What do you think of the ad?

Gisele Bundchen Flaunts Perfect Post-Baby Body
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Shot a mere two months after she gave birth, Gisele Bundchen is the current envy of most mothers as the photos from her Calzedonia Spring/Summer 2010 campaign are released.
The secret to her fabulous post-baby body? Gisele was kind enough to offer some pregnancy advice for the common folk: “I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds… What helps me is the fact that I had a natural birth and am breast-feeding.”
Check out the rest of the photos from the shoot after the jump!

La Roux Singer Elly Jackson to Model Menswear
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
La Roux star Elly Jackson is to model for Viktor & Rolf’s menswear collection.
The flame-haired singer - well known for her androgynous dress sense and high-pitched vocals - will be the surprise guest model at the opening of the Dutch duo’s menswear fashion show in Paris today.
“We love her style. We love her authenticity. We love the way she plays with gender. So it felt logical. She’s right for our men’s clothes,” said, Viktor Horsting, one half of the design pair.
Elly herself also reveals she is a fan of wearing men’s clothes, although admits she is a novice when it comes to fashion shows: “I love suits. I wouldn’t feel comfortable in girls’ clothes. Apart from hairstylist Charlie Le Mindu, I’ve never been a fashion show before.”
Elly’s catwalk appearance will not be the only exciting prospect for Viktor & Rolf today - the pair will also be revealing their first collection of men’s bags at the show.
Adriana Lima Goes Topless for V Magazine
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Models, News,
Not unlike her fellow Victoria's Secret angel Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima is showing off her incredible post-baby body as well. Only with Lima, she's posing topless for the cover of V Magazine Spain. In what is appropriately titled "The Sexy Body Issue," Mario Sorrenti photographs Lima with a cute knitted Dior cardigan that she doesn't care to use. Also not surprising is the fact that you can barely see her extremely airbrushed face (not that she needs it!). The issue goes on sale July 4th, with four other models gracing the front of the magazine. Advertisements for V also tout the covers' oh-so-wonderful scratch-off feature.

Daisy Lowe Models For Her Mom’s Collection
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Pearl and Daisy Lowe are proving that mothers and daughters make excellent teams. Daisy’s photos from her mother’s latest collection for Peacocks are out, and she looks absolutely angelic!
The vintage-inspired dress and accessory line (more photos after the jump) portrays Daisy in a softer light, as her father’s rock star genes tend to shine through her edgy personal style. She also seems to channel Victoria Beckham in a few of the shots.
I’m definitely liking Daisy’s floral, sans-heavy eyeliner look!

Lindsay Lohan to Pose Nude With or Without SCRAM Bracelet
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Rumors, Accessories,
Never underestimate a career-less
newly-sober celebrity. Lindsay Lohan is willing to bare it all again for the camera—with or without her chunky alcohol monitoring bracelet.
The 23 year-old stripped down once for New York Magazine when she channeled Marilyn Monroe; this time, Lohan’s cause is for her 6126 collection. Expected to shoot next month in Los Angeles, Richard Luna of The California Bag—the company that licenses Lohan’s handbags—has some interesting ideas to get around the SCRAM accessory.
“We’re thinking of having police on hand so we can remove the ankle bracelet for the pictures,” he said. He then said that they may take photos with and without the bracelet, noting that it could be airbrushed out later.
Such a classy model—no wonder Ungaro wanted her!
