Daisy Lowe Models For Her Mom’s Collection
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Pearl and Daisy Lowe are proving that mothers and daughters make excellent teams. Daisy’s photos from her mother’s latest collection for Peacocks are out, and she looks absolutely angelic!
The vintage-inspired dress and accessory line (more photos after the jump) portrays Daisy in a softer light, as her father’s rock star genes tend to shine through her edgy personal style. She also seems to channel Victoria Beckham in a few of the shots.
I’m definitely liking Daisy’s floral, sans-heavy eyeliner look!

Lindsay Lohan to Pose Nude With or Without SCRAM Bracelet
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Rumors, Accessories,
Never underestimate a career-less
newly-sober celebrity. Lindsay Lohan is willing to bare it all again for the camera—with or without her chunky alcohol monitoring bracelet.
The 23 year-old stripped down once for New York Magazine when she channeled Marilyn Monroe; this time, Lohan’s cause is for her 6126 collection. Expected to shoot next month in Los Angeles, Richard Luna of The California Bag—the company that licenses Lohan’s handbags—has some interesting ideas to get around the SCRAM accessory.
“We’re thinking of having police on hand so we can remove the ankle bracelet for the pictures,” he said. He then said that they may take photos with and without the bracelet, noting that it could be airbrushed out later.
Such a classy model—no wonder Ungaro wanted her!

Lily Cole Planning to Retire From Modeling
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Rumors,
As much as it was hoped to be a rumor, Lily Cole is seriously considering to retire from modeling.
The flame-haired British beauty admits her heart lies in acting, and her days left in the modeling world may be numbered.
“I love acting and if the right opportunity did come along I would definitely consider quitting altogether. It is certainly something I want to prioritize in the future. It’s not a finite decision though - I may not get the opportunity. If a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came along I’d even consider leaving Cambridge University to do a film. I’d definitely weigh up my options and talk to my tutors about flexibility.”
The 22-year-old model, however, admits her time in the industry has helped her develop as an actress.
“It’s hard to distinguish whether it has helped but I don’t know any other way. It’s definitely helped confidence wise. I find acting much more of a challenge - acting is definitely harder.”
Recently Lily confessed she was not into following trends and prefers to wear timeless pieces: “To be honest, I’m not a huge follower of trends. I just go with what I feel and what I like, I have a lot of things in my wardrobe that like I consider quite timeless and that I’ll wear again and again through the years.”
Lady Gaga Debuts First Sarah Burton for McQueen Piece
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
While it may not have been much of a surprise that Alexander McQueen’s right-hand lady Sarah Burton would take over his label, what is surprising is how soon she’d start churning out pieces. Also not surprising: Lady Gaga is the first to wear them.
The McQueen lover debuted a custom-made catsuit designed by Burton for her private performance at Duane Park last night. The club was apparently so exclusive that the only photos that have surfaced are two-toned and grainy; quite a bummer, considering the outfit already looks gorgeous from what I can tell.
What do you think of Sarah Burton’s first womenswear look for Alexander McQueen?

Givenchy Not Appearing in Couture Shows
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors, Sales,
Givenchy is ditching traditional catwalk shows in favor of private appointments with high fashion clients and editors.
The luxury French label is aiming to make fashion even more exclusive by condensing future collections into 10 looks and presenting them in the luxurious settings of an 18th century town house on the Place Vendome in Paris. The label’s couturier Riccardo Tisci told WWD he is tired of traditional fashion shows, saying, “I want to make couture even more special than it is, and not just another catwalk show. People can really experience the couture moment - see it, touch it.”
The presentation will include a lookbook shot by renowned Vogue photographer Willy Vanderperre with appearances by David Walliams’ supermodel wife Lara Stone and Mariacarla Boscono.
Laughing off reports this is a cost cutting measure, the label revealed the presentations will actually cost 35 per cent more than a traditional catwalk show. The fashion house, however, is not ruling out smaller fashion shows in the future as Tisci revealed further collections will be unveiled at the label’s couture salons where mini catwalk shows will be held.
“It’s going to be a very good moment for creativity. For couture, it’s going to go back to being very exclusive,” Tisci added, heralding this as a new start.
Quote of the Day: Tim Gunn on Anna Wintour
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,
“I was with a colleague from Parsons, and we had been discussing the will-she-or-won’t-she-take-the-elevator question, so we ran over to the elevator bay to see if Anna would deign to get on. She wasn’t there. Then we looked over the stairway railing. And what did we see but Anna being carried down the stairs. The bodyguards had made a fireman’s lock and were racing her from landing to landing. She was sitting on their crossed arms.”

Tom Nicon Commits Suicide
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
Model Tom Nicon has committed suicide.
The 22-year-old French model - who has also fronted campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss and Versace - reportedly jumped 40 ft. to his death from his apartment window on Friday in Milan, Italy, after splitting from his girlfriend.
Tom, who is currently the face of iconic British brand Burberry, was found dead just hours before the start of Milan’s Men’s Fashion Week.
Designer Donatella Versace has expressed her sadness at the model’s death: “Tom was with us on Friday morning for a final show fitting. He seemed fine and calm. He had already done three or four shows with us and he was a sweet boy. We just can’t understand why he did what he did. We would never have thought he would do something like this. When we heard the news we were all so upset and we still are all so very sad.”

Julien MacDonald Clarifies Plus-Size Statement
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Britain’s Next Top Model judge and fashion designer Julien MacDonald recently came under fire for negative comments towards plus-size models. “There were no plus-size models. This is a serious show… You can’t have a plus size girl winning—it makes it a joke,” he said of the television show. Now MacDonald is back tracking
clarifying his statement.
“I absolutely think that plus-size models stand a chance of having a long term modeling career… But as I have already said, in certain sectors of the industry they are in much less demand. In certain parts of the fashion industry samples are made in smaller sizes, therefore it is far more difficult for a plus-size model to be successful.”
The former creative director of Givenchy also commended fellow British designer Mark Fast, who has been heralded for using plus-size models in his latest shows: “There have been some great initiatives in the fashion industry to use plus-size models. And it is great that Mark Fast is challenging convention. I have always loved strong, sexy, empowered women who walk well.”
You know that you’re part of the minority when Karl Lagerfeld, who had consistently put down
plus-size
“round” women, featured size 12 model Crystal Renn in his 2011 resort show.

Fashion Police: Lindsay Lohan Sports Thigh Jewelry
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News, Accessories,
Ex-creative advisor of Emanuel Ungaro, Lindsay Lohan, has a thing for leg jewelry.
Although her main piece—a SCRAM ankle bracelet—may not be by choice, Lohan was photographed wearing a loose jewelry armor chain on her right thigh. I must admit that the currently blonde party girl may be on to something; however, I don’t agree with how she paired it with suede black boots, a blue dress, and a leather jacket.
Ill-fitting or fittingly fab?

Jimmy Choo Says Shoes Affect Personality
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
Jimmy Choo thinks shoes can change a woman’s personality.
The famous designer - whose creations are sought after by women across the globe - adores his work and believes footwear plays such an important role in people’s lives that he relishes the chance to improve their lifestyle.
“We all wear shoes, every day - we have to. So they are a very important part of your wardrobe. They say something about the way you hold your body. Shoes must be elegant, comfortable. They affect the person’s personality.”
The 40-year-old craftsman - who was born in Malaysia - has been designing shoes since he was just 11, but admits he still has battles with himself while trying to perfect his styles: “I’m a perfectionist. I get angry and I lose my tempter, but only over shoes. My temper is very quick but there’s never anything personal. If I lose my tempter with a member of staff, afterwards we’ll go for a drink. Maybe I just love my shoes too much!”
Jimmy recently revealed how it is never too late for people to start wearing heels, but can’t start off with skyscrapers. “You should start with two or two and a half inches, get used to that first. But a lot of men, when they’ve been married for ten years, they walk in front of their wives. When a woman is wearing heels they have to walk more slowly, but sometimes their husbands won’t wait for them.”
