Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Rumors,
Lily Cole is fed up of modeling.
The 21-year-old beauty wants to veer away from the fashion and beauty industry and instead plans to spend the rest of her working days focusing on her acting career.
“I’d like to act and not really model so much. I wouldn’t want to treat acting as a convenient thing to do now and again. I’ve been doing modeling for years and I feel like I’ve taken out of it what I need to and I’m ready for new things.”

“I plan on still being here in 25 to 30 years’ time. At the start it was tough because people had preconceptions, but I worked incredibly hard and kept my head down. I have always had to work very, very hard with everything I do. That is just my work ethic.”

Anna Wintour Promises Curvy Models
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Always one to be on top of the latest fashion movements, Anna Wintour has (finally) vowed to use curvier models in Vogue.
The legendary magazine editor has promised to include larger beauties in upcoming issues of the US fashion bible after the success of their January 2010 cover shot image of 25-year-old model Lara Stone, which she hopes will encourage other publishers to avoid skeletal models.
“Vogue has always been supportive of healthy models and will continue to be so in the future. And I hope that Lara’s success as a model, even though her image does not fit into the existing norm, will inspire the industry to rethink its current preferences.”
The busty beauty - who has a UK size 8 figure - recently admitted she wishes she wasn’t the only curvaceous model: “I’m different because I am fat. It would be nice if I wasn’t the only person with t*ts and an a**e. If I could have the discipline to be super-skinny I would be. I think of dieting, then I eat pizza. I’m a woman, and every woman wants to be thinner - unfortunately.”

Kate Moss is a fantastic model because she makes you want to buy the clothes she wears.
Renowned photographer Nick Knight - who has shot the supermodel on many occasions - has praised Moss for her ability to make any shoot work.
“I’ve known Kate for many years and she’s a fantastic model. She can put a little black T-shirt on and make it look like the exact T-shirt you want to buy this season. And that’s a real skill - she understands the narrative in clothing, and expresses that perfectly. That’s her great skill.”
No matter how many times Knight - whose exhibition Showstudio: Fashion Revolution is running at London’s Somerset House - has worked with Moss, he insists he never grows tired of photographing her because she’s always got something new to offer. “No, it’s never hard to come up with anything new for Kate. It’s a conversation that keeps on going. She’s always got something fascinating to say and I’m always very excited to meet her and to see her again. I never tire of photographing her.”
Knight has worked with most of the biggest names in fashion, including Alexander McQueen, Yohji Yamamoto, Calvin Klein and Christian Dior.
Mounir Moufarrige Quits Ungaro
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,
Mounir Moufarrige has quit his job at the House of Emanuel Ungaro.
The Lebanese-born businessman - who had been the chief executive officer of the fashion label since 2006 - has left the company so he can focus on his other business interests.
Moufarrige has come under huge pressure recently after bringing Mean Girls actress Lindsay Lohan in as artistic director of the brand. The 23-year-old star’s debut line for the French fashion house was a critical flop when it was launched earlier this year.
While his focus will be on his other work, Moufarrige will apparently still remain a member of the company’s strategic committee and will oversee certain project and decisions. Marie Fournier has been named as Ungaro’s new general manager and will keep an eye on the running of the business.
Last month, Moufarrige defended his decision to ask Lindsay to get on board the company. He said, “We’ve got a celebrity and it’s a new concept, which we’re going ahead with. Ungaro, let’s recognize it, was a dormant brand, and now everybody’s talking about it today, so the level of awareness has improved greatly.”
