Lady Gaga, Marc Jacobs Cover V Magazine New York Issue
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
One thing is for sure when you book Lady Gaga for your magazine cover: you’ll be paying for plenty of skin.
Gaga covers V Magazine this month as her version of the Statue of Liberty alongside Marc Jacobs. Dubbed the New York Issue, the “V” is written in bubblegum—naturally.
While some may be outraged at Gaga’s impersonation, I’d have to say that it’s not nearly as shocking as other issues and figures she’s tackled, on top of the fact that this is a magazine that once featured a topless Adriana Lima whose chest could be seen by scratching off the “V” letter.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
A Spice Girl finally receives credit for her hard work: Victoria Beckham has been nominated for a British Fashion Council award.
The pop star-turned-fashion designer launched her label in 2008 to rave reviews and now her work has paid off as she’s been shortlisted for the BFC’s Designer Brand of the Year award, taking on fashion heavyweights such as Mulberry, Burberry and Pringle.
Victoria shows her twice yearly collections during New York Fashion Week but the brand is designed and made in London. Since its launch the mother-of-three’s collections - which focuses on simple dramatic - have become a huge hit and her creations have been seen on stars from Jennifer Lopez to Elle Macpherson.
Phoebe Philo, who has transformed French fashion house Celine into one of the industry’s most sought-after labels, has been shortlisted for the Designer of the Year, alongside Erdem and Christopher Kane while Lara Stone is nominated for Model of the Year. Harold Tillman, Chairman of the BFC commented that the diverse nominees reflected the “incredible vision and breadth of talent that British designers offer.”
The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on December 7.
Lanvin Revealed as H&M Designer
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
While they initially had people guessing, H&M revealed Lanvin to be the next fashion house to collaborate with the global brand.
The Swedish high street brand - which has previously collaborated with Stella McCartney, Madonna and Karl Lagerfeld on cheaper ranges - has created a range of luxury clothes in conjunction with Lanvin’s artistic director Alber Elbaz, who has previously said he would never work with a mass market store.
“H&M approached us to collaborate, and to see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.”
H&M’s creative advisor Margareta van den Bosch added the brand was “thrilled” about the collection: “We are thrilled about Lanvin’s collection for H&M, it is such an exciting moment. Lanvin will bring to H&M a luxurious French tradition that is also modern and playful. It is very much a Lanvin collection, using their cut and tailoring, with lots of focus on form and details for both women and men.” The range will hit stories on November 23.

The fashionable twins are opening a pop-up branch of Elizabeth + James in the city’s West Village during New York Fashion Week, and will work on the tills for one hour, ringing up customers at the registers from 7pm until 8pm on September 10.

Fashion Police: Lindsay Lohan Brings Class to Courtroom
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
She may be out of jail, but judging by Lindsay Lohan‘s outfit yesterday, she’s still committing a major crime of public indecency.
The former child star returned to the courthouse to meet her probational officer wearing this. I’ll give her points for the Alexander Wang bag, but none are being awarded for the extremely unflattering thigh high socks. I get that she’s trying to pull a just-rolled-out-of-bed-and-this-is-how-fabulous-I-really-look (otherwise known as the Nicole Richie) style, but it just isn’t cutting it. You need to let your accessory line go, Lindsay.

Bar Refaeli Upset by Skinny Models
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Bar Refaeli gets upset when she sees painfully-thin models.
The Israeli supermodel - whose curvy-yet-toned body is the envy of women all over the world - hates seeing young girls look so unhealthy and wants them to be encouraged to put on some weight.
“I get so sad when I see 15-year-old pale extremely skinny models at the agency looking all shaky and hungry. when will it end?!?!? (sic)” she posted on her Twitter.
She has also hit out at women who have plastic surgery, saying they are setting a bad example to young girls: “Seriously. plastic surgery is not helping your impact on young women or your looks.”
Despite being voted one of the world’s most desirable women, Bar recently revealed she feels at her sexiest when dressed in simple clothes. “It’s mainly about how you feel. I wouldn’t feel sexy if I was walking around in high heels, a tight top, huge earrings and an elaborate hairdo all day. But there are women who seem confident and sexy like that. It’s a lot about how you move in your outfit and if you feel comfortable in it. I like comfortable clothes - long dresses, jeans, shorts. I like it simple and prefer not having to accessorise a lot.”

No More Kate Moss for Topshop
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Sales,
Supermodel-turned-designer Kate Moss has ended her design collaboration with Topshop.
The Brit will complete her work with the brand when her Fall/Winter collection comes out in October, although both parties deny there is any bad feeling.
“It has been fantastic for us and fantastic for her but the designs take more and more time and she cannot do this full-time anymore,” Topshop boss Sir Philip Green told The Times newspaper.
Her upcoming collection with be her 14th for the brand, and it is believed she has earned $4.6 million from the ranges. Author and fashion lecturer David Shaw told the BBC, “Everyone was quite surprised it lasted so long. Topshop is notorious for quick change. It brings in brands and loses brands.”
In addition to designing for Topshop since 2007, she was also on hand to open up the store’s first New York outlet in 2009.
Italy Deems Julianne Moore Ads Indecent
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Models, News, Jewelry,
For a city known for its Renaissance paintings that feature plenty of women wearing little clothing in a continent that seems to wonder why many Americans fear nudity, it may come as a shock to many that Venice, Italy has banned the above Bulgari ad, starring actress Julianne Moore from its scheduled billboard duties.
“An advertisement showing a nude woman on a divan is not appropriate for St Mark’s Square,” Mayor Giorgio Orsoni said.
While Moore may not have clothes on, the smiling, playful lion cubs seem to diffuse the expected sexual charge of the photo. That, of course, wasn’t enough for the folks who oversee what is posted around their city…
