Emma Watson has fronted the new advertising campaign for People Tree.
The Harry Potter star - who first joined forces with the ethical clothing company when she designed a collection for them last year - revealed the line has expanded and now includes dresses, skirts and shirts made from hand-woven Fair Trade brushed fabric.
“Although I wasn’t centrally involved in the design of this collection, I had great fun in helping People Tree select some gorgeous Fair Trade textiles, such as a dogtooth hand-woven check, cable knits, and the first Fair Trade hand-woven brushed checked fabric, which has been made into easy tulip skirts, dresses and shirts. There are even a few party dresses, such as the little black satin tulip dress which can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion.”

Elizabeth Hurley Reveals More Controversial Dieting Techniques
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Want to look like Elizabeth Hurley? The model-turned-actress claims that not eating breakfast keeps her slim.
The 45-year-old beauty has confessed she starts the day with mugs of hot water, followed later by a snack of oat cakes and an occasional espresso. After returning from holiday in France, she Tweeted, “My diet survived the onslaught of phenomenal vacation food-doctors disagree, but I swear by almost nothing for breakfast for adults. Mugs of hot water first thing, maybe an espresso and a few oat cakes mid morning.”
Earlier she had posted, “Another workout in the gym with the Australian and an awful lot of hot water. Sick of it now.”
Elizabeth, who is married to businessman Arun Nayar and has eight-year-old son Damian from a previous relationship, has been blasted by nutrition experts for her admission. “If you think that some hot water and a coffee is all you need to look like Liz Hurley, then I’m afraid you are wrong. This is not the breakfast that I would recommend to people with regular lives. First thing in the morning your body has not had any food or fuel all night and needs something to kick-start your day. The coffee will give you a kick but you will be relying on your body’s reserves and by mid-morning you would be more likely to snack on something unhealthy like a muffin,” said leading nutritionist Carina Norris.

Quote of the Day: Marc Jacobs on Media Attention
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
“If people weren’t interested in the work then they wouldn’t really care about my personal life. So I think about it logically. The attention toward me is basically because of what we’ve built as a company. If we built a pile of crap then nobody would care what I ate for lunch. We live in a world where people are really hungry for information, and they’re not hungry for information on subjects that they’re not interested in.”
- Fashion designer Marc Jacobs comments on the attention he receives as a very in-demand, public figure.

VIDEO: Martin Scorcese Directs Chanel Ad
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News, Videos,
You know that a fashion house has staying power when it can enlist the directorial skills of an Oscar winner like Martin Scorcese. Such was the case with Chanel, who hired Scorcese to direct a commercial for its men’s fragrance, Bleu de Chanel.
While the French actor Gaspard Ulliel captivates most of my attention, I can’t help but compare it to David Lynch’s gig for Dior. With Lynch, at least you still saw his signature touch in the video. Scorcese’s, while much shorter in length, looked more like the typical run-of-the-mill fragrance spot. Even Frank Miller made an interesting take on Gucci’s perfume!

Jessica Simpson Leaves Skinny Models Out of Fashion Show
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, Rumors,
Jessica Simpson is to use real women to model her fashion collection.
The curvy singer - who has faced criticism for her weight in the past - is reportedly set to turn her back on the trend of using skinny models in her New York Fashion Week show in September, and instead has decided to use real women to showcase her clothing collection.
“Jessica Simpson plans to unveil her latest collection for the media at New York Fashion Week in September, but there’s a twist. Instead of using super-skinny models to showcase her designs, Jessica has decided to send her best friends - real women in real sizes - down the aisle. This is the amount of the brand’s retail grand revenue, not what Jessica takes home. She attends all business meetings and makes all major decisions. She’s a sharp businesswoman and knows what women want,” a source said.
The 30-year-old blonde admitted her television show The Price of Beauty - which sees Jessica travel the globe to investigate some of the extreme lengths some women will go to in order to look good - has finally helped her accept to her body shape: “We all obsess over looking like the perfect Barbie type, and that’s not always what’s beautiful. It’s about making peace with yourself.”
VIDEO: Christina Hendricks in London Fog Campaign
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Videos, Women, Outerwear, Jackets & Coats,
Had Don Draper brought Joan Holloway to his London Fog meeting last season, the Mad Men character might have spared everyone a little time (and a Sal Romano some hotel embarrassment)—but better late then never, right?
In this real-life campaign for the outerwear company, actress Christina Hendricks adds sex appeal to the classic trench coats the company is known for.
“London Fog is a classic brand, which I love. It also ties into Mad Men — we used London Fog in the show and this was a nice way to tie everything together,” the company’s new celebrity spokesmodel said. “The trench is such an iconic shape for men and women. It worked in the 1960s and it works now.”
Of course, just about anything works on Christina – which is why Brian McFayden is probably somewhere drooling like an idiot right now.

Madonna Directs Miu Miu Campaign
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Videos,
Madonna has directed Miu Miu‘s Fall/Winter 2010 campaign film.
The singer - who has also worked on a clothing line entitled Material Girl with her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes - is said to have gone to the set of the video to meet with photographers Mert Atlas and Marcus Pigott, but ended up directing the shoot instead.
“We were supposed to shoot a video, so Madonna said she wanted to direct it. They said she could do it but they weren’t going to pay her and she started laughing. She put on her iPod and taught us moves and we shot the video for two hours,” said model Ginta Lapina.
Ginta, along with fellow models Lindsey Wixson, Daphne Groeneveld and Siri Tollerod, are all seen dancing to heavy base music in front of strobe lights while wearing Miu Miu’s coveted embellished dresses teamed with kitten heels and patent handbags. Check out the video after the jump!

Jessica Szohr Wants Taylor Momsen’s Clothes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News,
Jessica Szohr wishes she could swap her style with Taylor Momsen—her character’s, that is.
The Gossip Girl star - who plays Vanessa Abrams in the hit series - admits while she likes the clothes her character is given in the show, she would love to wear the “girly” pieces Taylor’s character Jenny gets to fashion.
“I personally think Jenny has the best wardrobe on the show - it’s kind of grungy, but girly, without being too put together.”
The brunette beauty - who has been dating her Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick since 2008 - admitted while she thinks her character wears too many contrasting patterns and colors, she thinks all the girls in the show look “great.”
“Blair is too structured and perfect, Serena is always glammed up. Vanessa’s way too much with every color and pattern. It sounds like I’m being negative about them all, but I’m not - I think they all look great. But if I was going to go shopping for me, I’d head straight into Jenny’s closet.”

Vivienne Westwood Shoes to Go on Display
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News, Footwear,
An extensive collection of Vivienne Westwood shoes are to go on display in London.
The display, entitled Vivienne Westwood Shoes: An Exhibition 1973-2010, charts the evolution of the iconic British designer’s collection over the last four decades. Going on display at London’s Selfridges department store on Thursday, the exhibition is to showcase almost 200 shoes from the Vivienne Westwood archive, as well as pieces from the designer’s new collection and exclusive designs from her collaboration with cult rubber designer Melissa.
“The exhibition traces the exceptional success of Westwood’s career to date and presents her outstanding artistic individuality. Illustrating her defiance of the rules of wearability and convention, the exhibition is also evidence of her uncompromising quest for superb craftsmanship and attention to detail,” said a spokesperson from the department store.
Vivienne Westwood shoes were the centerpiece of one of the fashion world’s most memorable moments when supermodel Naomi Campbell took a tumble on the catwalk while wearing the Super Elevated Gillie design in 1993. Meanwhile, her iconic Pirate Boots - which were originally designed in 1981 - have remained popular among the fashion elite to the present day.
