Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
Dolce and Gabbana admit starring in Nine was a “dream come true.”
Prestigious fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana - who make a brief appearance in the romantic musical movie - were desperate to work on the project inspired by Italian firm director Federico Fellini because he is a movie “maestro.”
“We wanted so much to be part of this project! Federico Fellini has always been one of our greatest sources of inspiration, one of the most important Italian directors. For us, being part of a movie inspired by the work of the maestro is like a dream come true.”
Despite only appearing on-screen for a short while, the designing duo were thrilled to work on the celebrity-filled film, which stars Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Fergie, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren and Daniel Day-Lewis.
They added to People, “Rob Marshall did an amazing work and the cast is amazing! He was able to put together the most beautiful and talented actresses of various generations and great actors. We couldn’t be more happy to be chosen, even if for a short appearance.”

Sienna Miller a Fan of Plus-Size Models
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Twenty8Twelve designer Sienna Miller thinks that overweight girls are “more beautiful” than skinny models.
The British actress - who worked as a model before she made it in the movie business - prefers the body shape of curvy plus-sized models to women with stick-thin frames.
“I sincerely believe that that’s more beautiful than someone who is poker-thin. I really do.”
The blonde beauty - who is known for her good looks and slender figure - even wishes she had a more curvaceous, womanly figure herself. She explained to New York Magazine, “I would love to have boobs to go with my hips, but I don’t. That’s just not the way the cookie crumbled.”
Despite being regularly regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful women, the 27-year-old star admits she never felt attractive when she worked as a model: “I was, like, the short, funny one that they booked to make the other girls laugh and to make them look taller.”

Chace Crawford: “I Hate Modeling”
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Models, News,
Chace Crawford hated being a model.
The Gossip Girl actor says he didn’t enjoy his time in the modeling world, but knows his good looks have helped him in his career.
“I did some catalogue work in Dallas, just to make some extra money. I hate modeling. But I’m not ignorant to the fact that part of the reason why Gossip Girl is poplar and part of the reason why people want to see it is to be like, ‘Oh, novelty boy! Hot boy! Pretty boy!’”
Chace is known for his pretty boy image but admits the constant grooming is hard work: “I have to be completely, impeccably, annoyingly clean shaven.”
The heartthrob also revealed acting was not always his passion. He told WWD, “I wasn’t, like, Johnny Theatre in high school. I was into sports. I was good at math. I was doing photography. I had my hand in a lot of different cliques.”
Roberto Cavalli Hones Photography Skills
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Rumors,
Roberto Cavalli has become a keen photographer.
The fashion designer - who counts Victoria Beckham, Alicia Keys and Cheryl Cole among his fans - recently returned from a trip to Africa and now wants to showcase his pictures.
“My dream in the near future is to create a big exhibition that would showcase my work from Africa and other exotic places. I love shooting primitive and simple things. I used to shoot subject for my prints and my passion has evolved a bit.”
Cavalli says he has been inspired to create a photography book after a world-famous snapper complimented his work. He told The Martha Stewart Show, “I actually showed my photos to a big photographer, whom I would like to keep private for now, and he was very impressed. He said, ‘They’re fantastic, you should really make more.’ From that moment I was very encouraged. But I’m not a photographer, per se, so I have quite a way to go with my technique!”
Victoria Beckham Working on Her Posture
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News, Rumors,
Victoria Beckham is studying the Alexander Technique to improve her posture.
The 35-year-old star is said to be concerned about her rounded shoulders after years of walking incorrectly in high-heeled shoes and hopes the discipline, which helps strengthen the body and its core muscles, can help her.
“Victoria has been told that her poor posture has caused her bones to be improperly aligned, with her muscles, joints and ligaments taking more stress than they should. She absolutely hates the fact that in pictures she often has somewhat of a hunched-back stance and she hates having rounded shoulders, so she has been saying she feels so much better,” a source said.
Victoria is practicing every day and is already seeing results from her sessions. The source added, “Victoria has been working hard on getting a straight back and correcting her terrible posture. You can tell that something is working as the years of Victoria’s shoulders being slumped are over, she’s walking straighter now. She practices the discipline after the gym every morning and at night. She is standing straighter and her body feels more aligned. It also helps you cope with stress.”
The Alexander Technique is a method of changing everyday movement habits to improve freedom of movement, balance, co-ordination and posture, and to reduce tension.
