Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Models,
The 20-year-old daughter of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and former supermodel Jerry Hall, revealed that the singer is her fashion icon. The face of the Fall 2012 Material Girl marketing campaign said, "I had so much fun shooting this campaign." The photo shoot took place at the rehearsal for Madonna's MDNA tour at Nassau Coliseum in May.
She added that her experience growing up on tour with her father enabled her to channel what Madonna and her daughter Lourdes has in mind for the line of clothing's new season: "I spent a lot of my childhood backstage hanging out around amps. That was where we chilled when we were younger. So this photo shoot brought back a lot of memories. I have always admired Madonna's music and style; she is constantly reinventing herself."

The British supermodel's nine-year-old offspring Lila Grace - whose father is Kate's former boyfriend Jefferson Hack - and her friend Iris Law, 11, love working together on their own photoshoots. Iris - whose parents are Kate's friends Sadie Frost and Jude Law - told aMUSE, "My god-sister, Lila, and I have gotten into the habit of creating little photo shoots every time we see each other. I enjoy this, because it's everything I love in one go; it's creative, it makes you think- it's fashion."
Lila and Iris' passion for fashion could be traced back to Kate as when the older girl turned nine in 2009, the 38-year-old beauty threw a model-themed birthday party for her.
"Kate had been teaching Iris and Lila Grace how to model and how to walk the catwalk properly in preparation for the party. They could hardly have a better teacher. All of the girls at the bash wanted to be Kate. She brought along lots of clothes for them and the girls had their hair and make-up done especially. Kate also presided over all of the accessories to make them look as catwalk-ready as possible. She was teaching them how to master her famous hip swagger and her 'I don't care look.' It went down so well that Iris and Lila Grace now both want to be models like Kate," a source said at the time.

The fashion house decided against using models on the catwalk, instead sending 73 Sicilian men and boys aged between 12 and 43 - with occupations including student, house painter, barber, and waiter - down the runway accompanied by a live band in traditional costume.
Explaining the unusual showcase of the collection - which was largely monochrome linen, silk, light wool and chiffon - Steffano Gabbana said, "We wanted to put our clothes on real men because fashion should be for real people."
The show's finale saw all 73 men don dark suits and white jackets which were each slightly different to one another.
Elsewhere, Jil Sander made her return to her eponymous label, with her first collection in eight years showing an update to her signature minimalist style with colour and more modern cuts.

Gisele Bundchen is Named the Highest Paid Supermodel in the World
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News,
The Brazilian beauty raked in $45 million from her modeling contracts and endorsements between May 2011 and May 2012 alone, once again keeping her title as highest paid model in the world, according to Forbes.
The 31-year-old star is worth over $35 million more than her top competitors, Kate Moss and Natalia Vodianova. British star Kate, 38, was paid $9.2 million to front campaigns including Longchamp, Mango and Rimmel, while Natalia earned $8.6 million for representing Guerlain and Calvin Klein.
Forbes reports that Gisele has been the highest-paid model in the world since 2004. In June 2011, the magazine estimated her total earnings over the last 10 years accounted for over $250 million.
Gisele, a former Victoria's Secret model, is also a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Environmental Program. She counts spokesperson and liscencing deals amongst her many income strands and is the face of Pantene, Esprit, and Versace.
The model-and-singer admits she gets terrified whenever she has to walk down a runway so she doesn't really do fashion shows any more.
"Walking down a catwalk is terrifying. I am so useless, I have an anxiety attack every time I do it. I don't really do shows any more for that reason. Walking down a runway, with the lights, the music and all the faces looking at mend the terrifying high heels that are often, for me at least, way too big and falling off. I have these sudden panic attacks that I'm going to trip up. I almost will myself to fall. I really don't do a lot of shows. It would be fun to do them, but I'm terrified, absolutely terrified."
Karen also revealed when she's performing on stage, she likes her outfits to be as dramatic as possible: "I make it dramatic. I try and create a look, like, on my last record I had a lot of fringe. Fringy, fringy stuff. The band and I had a little look going. I think visually it's always good to have some kind of look going on. It makes the performance interesting."

Karl Lagerfeld Blasts Lack of Gifted Stylists

Karl Lagerfeld has blasted the lack of "gifted stylists" in the fashion industry.
The Chanel designer has collaborated with Carine Roitfeld for The Little Black Jacket tour, a travelling exhibition of images of Chanel's iconic creation worn by personalities from Sarah Jessica Parker to Yoko Ono and Charlotte Casiraghi, and he was thrilled to work with her because of her talent.
"It's very stimulating to work with Carine, because there aren't so many gifted stylists, and nothing is more exhausting than to work with an ungifted stylist. That makes a job very difficult," he told WWD.
The exhibition is based on a book of the same name and Karl admitted he and Carine didn't always agree on who should be included in the exhibition. When asked how he chose who made the cut, Karl said, "That's the story and secret between Carine and me. I cannot say that there were real rules. There are people she preferred and people I preferred, and then we mixed it all. It's a mix of different tastes and different choices. I love the photo of Uma Thurman [resembling Marlene Dietrich], but she is not like this in life. We made Anja Rubik Japanese. She doesn't look like this either and is playing a part. The idea is the portrait of the personality, or the personality playing a part."
Kate Moss: Passion is Essential to Designers
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models,
The supermodel has been in the fashion business for over 20 years and having worked with most of the top designers in the world, she says a love for creating is hugely important along with the determination to succeed.
"A good designer has to have passion and imagination and determination because it is a tough business," she said.
Kate is the face of high street clothing store Mango and Colleen Sherin, Fashion Director at Saks 5th Avenue believes it is a match made in heaven. "Kate Moss is beautiful and the perfect face for Mango, it's such a great fit. She's an icon who has always supported young fashion talent like Mango does," she said, speaking at the Mango Fashion Awards at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona.
"Mango is amazing because they support the young designers who will eventually be designing for huge companies in the future," Kate added.
Coco Rocha is the New Face of Dennis Basso
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models,
The 23-year-old beauty - whom Basso says he "fell in love with" after she wore a pantsuit bought at the Elizabeth Taylor auction - found herself modelling a $250,000 mink in 100-degree heat on the Essex Steam Train in Connecticut this week. According to the New York Post, Basso remarked Coco was "the only person on set not sweating."
Although the pair met at the Met Gala, Coco recently revealed she found attending the New York event more "daunting" than any other bash: "Of all the events, I have to say the Met Gala red carpet is most daunting. You have cameras on both sides of you all the way up a red-carpeted staircase. If you turn to one side, the other side boos. You really can't win. Once people learn your name they all begin screaming for you. I've made the mistake in years gone by of showing up a little late to the event, right when the Beyonces and J. Los of the world are having their moment - then you have photographers screaming for you to get out of the way! So this year I came nice and early."
