Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Models, News,
“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.”

Megan Fox Likes to Blend In
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
While she may attend red carpet events in major leg-exposing dresses, Megan Fox hates wearing attention-seeking clothes when she’s a normal girl on the street.
The Transformers beauty - who is regarded as one of the world’s sexiest women - says that she can’t don “interesting” outfits when she goes out because she doesn’t want people to recognize her.
“If you wear anything interesting, you become instantly noticeable. I have this gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana white trench coat for winter, but I can’t wear it without drawing attention to myself. And I try to hide. I want to be unseen.”
Although she is a huge fan of singer Rihanna‘s flamboyant look, Megan, 23, says she’s could never go out dressed like that: “It would be nice to be like Rihanna and go to Burger King in six-inch heels and a mini-dress. It’s admirable. But I don’t have the motivation. I have lots of casual clothes and one side of my wardrobe is oddly grown up: pencil skirts and Prada turtlenecks for when, once in a while, I feel like going in that direction.”
Tom Ford Moves Forward With Womenswear Plans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women,
Upon completing his foray into film, Tom Ford is now venturing into womenswear.
The designer has reportedly started recruiting accessories specialists and is putting together a design team for a return to the ladies clothing market, his first foray into the area under his own name. Tom confirmed his intentions to move back toward womenswear last year, saying in October, “Financing is extremely expensive right now, so if we find financing in the right situation we’ll be able to start a women’s collection soon. If we don’t, we may have to wait a while.”
He warned, however, the project would take over a year to complete, adding, “It will take me 18 months when I start, because I have to hire the team, find the factories, put everything together and then get the stores ready so there’s a place for these clothes.”
Meanwhile, Tom - who has previously worked for Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent - dressed Oscars hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin for last night’s ceremony, which included a costume changed for Alec from a single-breasted tuxedo with grosgrain peak lapels, white pique front shirts and black grosgrain cummerbunds and bow ties to a navy blue, single-breasted tuxedo with a grosgrain peak lapel.
Colin Firth - who starred in Tom’s directorial debut film A Single Man for which he was nominated for the Best Actor award - was also dressed by the designer at the Oscars.
Art School Friends Help Design Olsenboye
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Sales, Girls, Women,
Despite their fashionista statuses, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s friends helped them design their latest fashion range.
The 23-year-old twins - who already have two clothing lines, The Row and Elizabeth + James - recently launched their new junior range, Olsenboye, and wanted input from their peers.
Mary-Kate said, “We’ve been working with our friends who are our age and in art school.”
Ashley added, “They’ve helped out with the art on the web sites and doing the commercials and the videos.”
The line - which is aimed mainly at teenagers, with most price tags under $50 - is sold exclusively at JCPenney and the girls are thrilled to be working with them. Mary-Kate told People, “All the people at JCPenney have totally embraced all of our friends that have now participated in these projects and it’s a lot of young talent and I think it’s really exciting.”
Ashley also revealed she is looking forward to next season’s looks as she’s not a huge admirer of the over-exaggerated shoulder look: “I’m a fan of strong shoulders, but I think the extreme shoulder, to me - it takes a very special person to pull it off. And I’m kind of ready to move on from that.”
Photographers Prohibited Allowed at McQueen Memorial
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Despite what Kanye West said about the late Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2010 collection, it appears as if he did complete most of his Fall 2010 line.
Originally set to premiere at Paris Fashion Week, the label has instead opted to showcase McQueen’s last collection in a memorial setting on March 9th and 10th. Very much unlike the live-stream of his Spring/Summer 2010 collection, photographers will not be permitted at the presentation. Photos of the pieces are (thankfully!) due to be released to the media.

Kelly Osbourne Starts a Purple Trend
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles, News,
Kelly Osbourne caused a stir when she dyed her hair purple this week and while it may not be to everyone’s taste, color rinses are set to become a huge hit over the coming months.
Kate Moss started the trend when she was seen sporting silvery blue highlights earlier this year, sparking a huge rush for women to have the same color treatment. So if you’re keen to have lavender locks, or any other pastel shade for that matter, top London hairdresser Karine Jackson has come up with the perfect creation - the Ice Cream Sundae.
The treatment results in slices or rinses of lavender, lemon, ice blue, grey or lilac put through the hair, transforming even the dullest of tresses. Talking about Kelly’s hair, Karine said:
“It’s suddenly become very fashionable to have a colored rinse. You wouldn’t associate Kelly Osbourne with old ladies, but it’s a lavender rinse, and even Kelly refers to it as an ‘old lady rinse’! Looks fabulous on her, actually better than it does on Kate, as it’s a very elegant, vintage look which works best on the very young so there’s no mistaking it for grey! The trend has been very quick to spread, no sooner had Kate colored her hair and we were seeing it on the street. I predict we’ll see this trend evolve into a new craze with pink, silver, blue and mauve. I have even seen guys with great blue rinses!”
However, if you do decided to go for the blue rinse, Karine recommends a good silver shampoo to stop the highlights going dull.
Kanye West Sympathizes With McQueen
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,
Self-pronounced fashion icon Kanye West says that he can sympathize with the late Alexander McQueen because they were both “tormented” by their need to be creative.
The “Gold Digger” hitmaker believes that the fashion designer - who died last month after committing suicide - felt he had proved himself with his fantastic creations and perhaps there was no need for him to be on this earth any more.
“I’m tormented by the need to create. With the loss of McQueen I feel like we lost one of the faces of modern creativity’s Mount Rushmore. There were times that the only thing that kept me on this earth was the need and responsibility to create. Maybe McQueen felt his job was done because his last collection was the greatest of the decade. We are all so hurt. I know we’re selfish because he brought us so much joy and inspiration.”
The hip-hop star admits he often experiences “night demons” and thinks McQueen suffered in the same way. Writing on his blog, he said, “I know how it feels when the night demons come. We can’t let them control our hands and feet. Sometimes when it hurts so bad we have to just lay in the bed. Just lay in bed and don’t move please, I know how it feels. I wish McQueen could have just been still. Don’t let the psychiatrists give you their drugs because it slows down your wings.”
McQueen, 40, was found hung in his wardrobe at his London home just days after the death of his beloved mother.

Carey Mulligan Ignoring Anna Wintour’s Fashion Tip
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities,
An Education‘s Carey Mulligan may be relatively new to the whole awards season business, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t formed her opinions.
Although she’s been offered valuable advice from one of the most respected names in the fashion industry, the Academy Award nominee claims she won’t be using it at the upcoming ceremony.
“Anna [Wintour] said I should wear short for the Oscars,” Mulligan said about Vogue‘s editor-in-chief. “I was like ‘No, that is so not what I had in my head when I was six years old!’”
Ignoring a suggestion from Ms. Wintour herself? Let’s hope Carey isn’t committing
fashion suicide!
