Dolce & Gabbana Design Soccer Suits
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
As if athletes don’t receive enough perks: Dolce & Gabbana have designed a range of suits for English soccer team Chelsea FC.
The Italian designers have signed a three-year deal with the club, meaning players such as John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole will be dressed in exclusive three-piece suits created by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The blue suits are teamed with dark blue shirts, and a matching tie, while casual clothes including blue denim jeans have also been gifted.
In addition to the players receiving suits, managers, coaches and other male staff at the club will also get formal outfits. “Dolce & Gabbana are top class designers, everybody knows them world-wide and it’s beneficial for the club that we have a brand on the same level as we are,” said soccer player Daniel Sturridge.
Women working for the club will receive a pair of black high heels and a matching-coloured trench coat. Domenico and Stefano - who dress the likes of David Beckham, Kylie Minogue and Madonna - will also redesign Chelsea’s director’s lounge and the club’s main reception area. Players will also receive a trolley case designed by the duo.

David Beckham to Design For Victoria

Soccer star David Beckham is reportedly planning to design for his wife’s clothing line.
Fashion designer Victoria Beckham is said to have convinced her soccer star spouse to create a collection of men’s suits and evening wear and he is now working on an Fall/Winter 2011 series of garment after giving in to months of requests from the singer-turned-fashion designer.
“Victoria has been trying to persuade him to do it for a while and he’s finally succumbed. She’s reassured him that he has an eye for fashion,” said a source.
Victoria, 36, is delighted with her 35-year-old husband’s efforts so far. “David is hoping to produce a range of men’s couture clothing of fitted suits, smart day wear and an evening range - and Victoria thinks it will go down a storm,” the source added.
Though this is David’s first time working with Victoria, the former Spice Girls star has previously spoken of the enthusiasm Romeo, her seven-year-old son, has for her career: “The other boys are all about going to the beach; he’s not interested. He’s like, ‘I want to go to work with mummy,’ and he sits there going through the collection, feeling the fabrics, giving his opinion. He loves it.”
Tom Cruise Wants Katie to Design Menswear

Tom Cruise wants his wife Katie Holmes to design a menswear range.
The former Dawson’s Creek actress launched her debut fashion collection Holmes & Yang - which was co-designed by her stylist and friend Jeanne Yang - two years ago and while it has been successful among women, Katie’s superstar husband is keen for the duo to branch out.
“The husbands always hang out at our meetings. They say, ‘When are you guys going to do the men’s collection?’”
As well as having a husband who wants some clothes designed for him, Katie also revealed Holmes & Yang are creating matching outfits for mothers and daughters to wear together. The 31-year-old beauty - who has a four-year-old daughter Suri with Tom - said, “They love matching mom. And it’s a limited time during which they really want to.”
Katie says she and Jeanne came up with the idea to do a clothing range as they wanted women to have wardrobes staple-based with uniforms for everyday wear: “We want to create pieces a woman can wear over and over, and people won’t necessarily say, ‘Oh, you wore that last week.’”

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.
Matthew Williamson to Launch Menswear
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Men,
Matthew Williamson is venturing into menswear.
The British designer, who dresses the likes of actress Sienna Miller and TV presenter Cat Deeley, is heading into the world of men’s clothes following on from a successful collection with high street store H&M.
“I wanted to start a menswear line of slim-fitting, luxury cashmere jumpers in a range of great colors. I know these jumpers will become season-less staples in my own wardrobe. Cashmere and silk printed scarves and hand-beaded T-shirts compliment the line and form a solid foundation for the collection to grow next season.”
The clothes, which will be unveiled for Spring/Summer 2010, will be expanded seasonally and will be available at London’s Harrods department store and Matthew Williamson shops.
Matthew previously revealed that his passion for fashion started at an early age: “I wanted to be a designer from the age of about 11. There was never any question in my mind. I just knew. I remember my sister couldn’t decide if she wanted to be a nurse or a teacher, and I was like, ‘How do you not know?’”
Alexander Wang Designs Very Masculine Menswear
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Videos, Men,
Alexander Wang posted a sneak peek video of his upcoming men’s line, and let’s just say that they do not look too different from those egregious Bod commercials from back in the day.
I admire his determination in creating a collection that non-flamboyant, more conservative men could wear; however, it wouldn’t be hard to shop this look at your local Wal-Mart. Please, please, please, Alex, say it isn’t so.
