Gisele Bundchen Does Not Design Clothes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Unlike most supermodels and celebrities these days, Gisele Bundchen could never be a fashion designer.
The world’s highest-paid model, who gave birth to her first child in December, admits she wouldn’t have the skills or the patience to create clothes and accessories full-time, but did enjoy working on her flip-flop collection, Ipamema, with Brazil’s largest shoe company Grendene.
Speaking at the launch in Paris, Gisele said, “I am very inspired by nature and like to use that for my ideas, but actually designing them - no way. I would be a disaster.”
The Brazilian beauty says she is more focused on her creations being environmentally-friendly rather than how much she helped design them. She told WWD, “Nature is very close to my heart, and it is important for me that people who buy my flip-flops are made aware of the environment.”
Despite being one of the world’s most successful supermodels, Gisele recently admitted she was initially terrified when she entered the fashion industry so invented a second persona:

Quote of the Day: Lara Stone on Female Photographers
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Models, News,
“Personally, I don’t like working with female photographers because they seem to never be able to make up their minds about what they want to do-with the exception of Inez because she always knows what she’s doing. But so many times it’s like, ‘Oh, let’s try this’ and ‘Let’s try that’ and ‘Let’s do this’ and ‘Let’s do that.’ It’s like, ‘For f***‘s sake, woman!’”

Coca-Cola Hires Karl Lagerfeld
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Sales,
In what seems to be his continued attempt to promote thin people, Karl Lagerfeld has designed a range of Coca-Cola Light bottles.
The Chanel designer has created a limited edition bottle for release in France, made in aluminium and featuring his own silhouette (would it really have been anything else?). As well as designing the bottles, he also shot the advertising campaign starring models Coco Rocha and Baptiste Giacobini.

Lady Gaga Fan Henry Holland
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Henry Holland wants to dress Lady Gaga. The British designer is a huge fan of the eccentric “Bad Romance” singer’s sense of style and would love to work with her - but only if she agreed with his ideas.
“I’d love to dress Gaga but I’d be too terrified to tell her what to wear.It would have to be a collaborative process.”
The designer’s close friend, model Agyness Deyn, also confessed to being a big fan of Gaga and her quirky fashion ideas after seeing her promoting a new MAC lipstick. Agyness told Now, “I was inspired.”
Henry and Gaga should get along fine if the designer creates an outfit with lots of accessories - including high-heeled shoes. The singer said recently, “I would rather die than have my fans not see me in a pair of high heels. I’d never give up my wigs and hats for anything. You see legendary people taking out their trash, I think it’s destroying showbusiness.”

“Terry doesn’t force girls to do anything they don’t want to. He puts you in a G-string in a pile of mud because you want to do it. You touch yourself because you want to.”

Kelly Osbourne Comments on McQueen Death
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Reality star Kelly Osbourne says the fashion world will never be the same since the tragic death of Alexander McQueen.
The presenter was a close friend of the designer - who was found hanged in his London home last week after reportedly taking his own life - paid tribute to him and believes nobody will ever come close to his legacy.
“I’m devastated at the death of my friend Alexander McQueen, who, it seems, may have committed suicide at this London home last week. He was only 40 and the fashion world will never be the same without him. “There aren’t many great designers in the world, even fewer trendsetters. His fashion told a story, it meant something. He was distinctive and unique. No one will come close to replicating what he did.”
Meanwhile, Kelly took to the catwalk at New York Fashion Week on Sunday. The newly-slim star strutted herself at the Betsey Johnson show, which was inspired by saloon girls, vagabonds and gamblers. She was the first model of the evening with a bandanna mask, playfully wielding toy pistols before revealing her face.
Brooklyn Decker: Sports Illustrated’s 2010 Swimsuit Cover Model
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Models,
The annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue isn't exactly about sports, nor is really about swimsuits -- but that won't stop models from coveting a page in the edition. This year, 22-year-old Brooklyn Decker did what most women in her profession dream of: she nabbed her very first SI cover. The North Carolina beauty -- a five-time vet of the magazine - somehow managed to wear more in this photo than in 2009 when she sported just body paint.
