Daisy Lowe doesn’t care if her clothes offend anyone.
The 21-year-old model - daughter of Pearl Lowe and rocker Gavin Rossdale - likes to experiment with her look and enjoys wearing outfits which aren’t always to everyone’s taste. Daisy - who would happily wear a purple bra to dinner and mix vintage Victorian camisoles with high street pieces - said, “I thought the whole point was to have fun with clothes? Sorry if that offends anyone.”
As well as experimenting with her own look, Daisy and her friends also indulge in a bit of dressing up. She told Britain’s Vogue magazine, “Most of my friendships stem from high school. My friends and I like to play fairy games and dress up.”
The brunette beauty has previously posed nude on two occasions and says she’s has no regrets about it. She said, “The female form is a beautiful thing. People are like, ‘Oh, you get naked all the time.’ I got naked twice - just twice - and yes, maybe that’s twice too many, but I think that women’s bodies are great. I don’t want to do pornos! It’s a tasteful thing.”
Celebrities, Models Crazy for Cats
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Big cat T-shirts are set to be a huge trend this season. A host of celebrities - including Daisy Lowe, Taylor Momsen, Ashley Tisdale and Frankie Sandford - have been donning the feline print tops in recent weeks and they are now set to take the fashion world by storm.
Following on from winter’s leopard print trend, the cat patterns give the look a fresh feel and look great under blazers, teamed with leggings and denim. One fashion insider said, “Big cat T-shirts are a continuation of winter’s leopard print trend. They’re the micro-trend of the moment and make you look really confident. They also look great with all the big summer looks, like denim shorts and leggings.”
Another look set to take off is tribal prints, with Nicola Roberts, Naomi Campbell and Kim Kardashian all wearing them recently. In order to pull-off the look, wearers must be quite bold with their choices and not worry about being perfectly matching.

Model Mother Adriana Lima
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Model Adriana Lima finds being a mother is much more rewarding than her day job.
The Victoria’s Secret beauty gave birth to daughter Valentina in November and is enjoying every moment of parenthood and can’t believe the feelings of love she has for her little girl.
“The best job in the world for me is being a mum. I never thought I could love so much. I always thought, does unconditional love exist? Now I know it does because I feel it. It’s really changed me completely. I am, in my head, more mature, more secure. And, you know, it changed completely the priorities in my life. You feel so strong. It’s such a wonderful feeling.”

Kate Moss has commissioned Banksy to paint a mural in her mansion.
The supermodel - who recently splashed out on a top-of-the-range sauna and steam room for her $10.7 million north London home - is paying the British guerrilla artist $230,000 to create a custom-made “eclectic” painting of her on a wall inside her home.
“Kate is a big fan of Banksy and has several prints of his, plus a few originals, at her home. He has even done a portrait of Moss herself (picture to right). She explained exactly what she wanted and Banksy gave her a quote. It wasn’t cheap. Kate asked for an entire wall to be painted, showing Kate on the catwalk at all stages of her career - from a fresh-faced 16 year old to her last appearance earlier this year. It is pretty eclectic. Banksy has even been given a set of keys so he can let himself in,” a source said.
The 36-year-old catwalk beauty - who has asked for the painting to also feature a number of well known faces including her friends Sadie Frost, Naomi Campbell and Lily Allen - expects the artwork to increase the value of her home. The source added to the Daily Mirror, “Kate hopes the Banksy artwork, in addition to the work in her loft, will at least add $306,000 to the value of her house. She has thought all this through and hopes to make a considerable profit when she eventually sells up.”
Impatient Exerciser Helena Christensen
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Sales,
Supermodel Helena Christensen is “impatient” when it comes to exercise.
The supermodel is the face of Reebok’s new EasyTone trainers - which promise to tone a wearer’s legs and behind as they walk - and says they are perfect for her because they show results almost immediately.
“With my busy schedule it’s a perfect way to do something without spending hours in the gym. I’m impatient, when I try something I like to see results immediately. I could feel these working right away which is why I’ve stuck with them.”
The 41-year-old beauty uses the trainers when she walks around New York and can feel a difference at the end of the day: “Living in New York, I like to walk everywhere, so to have trainers that tone your legs and butt as you walk is fantastic,” she explained. “You can really feel them working and I’ve noticed a difference in just a few weeks. They are comfortable to walk in, it almost feels like you are walking on sand, but by the end of the day you can feel it in your legs almost like you have done a workout.”
Quote of the Day: Michael Kors on Models
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
“Models, by nature, are not supposed to look like you and me. They are exemplary. They have bone structure and height and lengths of leg that normal people don’t have. But you want that to be based on genes, and if they’re adults, you want that to be based on adults who take care of themselves… I think if you send out an army of robotic 14-year-old children dressed up in their mom’s clothes, I think the reality is that it’s a turnoff, unless you are in fact a robotic 14-year-old.”
