Lady Gaga Tops Vanity Fair’s Best Dressed List
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Lady Gaga has been named one of the world’s best dressed women.
The “Bad Romance” singer and cover girl - famed for her eccentric fashion sense - was included on Vanity Fair magazine’s annual International Best Dressed List and joined the likes of First Lady Michelle Obama, Carey Mulligan and Diane Kruger.
Lady Gaga was a newcomer on the list and was praised for her outlandish headwear and over-the-top outfits. Michelle made the list for the fourth consecutive year and won approval for being a trendsetter. “Michelle Obama plays a very important role in fashion right now. People who make the list are individuals. They don’t look like everyone else. They tend to be fashion leaders, not followers,” said Vanity Fair’s special correspondent Amy Fine Collins.
Actress Carey Mulligan was noted for her “existential pixie” look and mixing high street with designers. Samantha Cameron - wife of British Prime Minister - also made the list, becoming the first visibly pregnant woman to make the poll. Others included on the prestigious list include France’s First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, soccer star David Beckham, siblings Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal and designer John Galliano.

Vanity Fair Fails to Credit Lady Gaga’s Stylist
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, News,
While fans and readers are ga ga over Lady Gaga‘s new Vanity Fair cover, one of her own was excluded from the magazine’s credits.
“thanks vanity fair for NOT crediting me in the story….VANITY UN-FAIR .....agrhhh!!!! (sic)” wrote stylist Nicola Formichetti on his Twitter page.
Will Gaga stick up for her monster? Let’s hope that Vanity Fair issues an apologetic statement—while Gaga receives an overwhelming amount of praise on her own, it’s nice to give credit when credit is due.
In the meantime, we can watch a behind-the-scenes shoot of the September cover, shot by Nick Knight (after the jump).

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
As if athletes don’t receive enough perks: Dolce & Gabbana have designed a range of suits for English soccer team Chelsea FC.
The Italian designers have signed a three-year deal with the club, meaning players such as John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole will be dressed in exclusive three-piece suits created by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The blue suits are teamed with dark blue shirts, and a matching tie, while casual clothes including blue denim jeans have also been gifted.
In addition to the players receiving suits, managers, coaches and other male staff at the club will also get formal outfits. “Dolce & Gabbana are top class designers, everybody knows them world-wide and it’s beneficial for the club that we have a brand on the same level as we are,” said soccer player Daniel Sturridge.
Women working for the club will receive a pair of black high heels and a matching-coloured trench coat. Domenico and Stefano - who dress the likes of David Beckham, Kylie Minogue and Madonna - will also redesign Chelsea’s director’s lounge and the club’s main reception area. Players will also receive a trolley case designed by the duo.

Soccer star David Beckham is reportedly planning to design for his wife’s clothing line.
Fashion designer Victoria Beckham is said to have convinced her soccer star spouse to create a collection of men’s suits and evening wear and he is now working on an Fall/Winter 2011 series of garment after giving in to months of requests from the singer-turned-fashion designer.
“Victoria has been trying to persuade him to do it for a while and he’s finally succumbed. She’s reassured him that he has an eye for fashion,” said a source.
Victoria, 36, is delighted with her 35-year-old husband’s efforts so far. “David is hoping to produce a range of men’s couture clothing of fitted suits, smart day wear and an evening range - and Victoria thinks it will go down a storm,” the source added.
Though this is David’s first time working with Victoria, the former Spice Girls star has previously spoken of the enthusiasm Romeo, her seven-year-old son, has for her career: “The other boys are all about going to the beach; he’s not interested. He’s like, ‘I want to go to work with mummy,’ and he sits there going through the collection, feeling the fabrics, giving his opinion. He loves it.”
Lauren Conrad to Release Third Collection
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Sales,
The Hills star Lauren Conrad is launching her third fashion range.
The
reality star, who has a range of casual wear which is sold in Kohl’s department store, has revealed she is set to create a high-end boutique line, which will have a more exclusive feel to it.
“It’s a contemporary women’s line. Where Kohl’s is a lot of daywear, it’s a lot of basics. This will be more specialty basics, more of a boutique line. It will be at a higher price point. It will be very different.”
Lauren has admitted that while she enjoyed working with Kohl’s, she is excited to be branching out on her own and launching a more upmarket brand: “It’s one thing to work with a huge retailer like Kohl’s and there is so much you get to do, but there is a little more of a thrill of doing it on your own. It’s a lot more work, it’s a lot more stressful, but it’s something I love doing so I’m really looking forward to it.”

Selita Ebanks Suffers For Fashion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorials, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks dislocated her shoulder to get a good picture.
The 27-year-old supermodel confesses her joint came out of its socket when she climbed a tree and slipped on a shoot for high street fashion chain H&M, but she got straight back to work because she liked the pictures.
“I’m standing there and it’s a majestic moment: the sun is setting, the wind is blowing, I’m wearing this beautiful caftan and it’s blowing. Because I’m so into the moment I don’t know what I’m doing-and thank god my arm was wrapped around a branch-because I slipped and I can feel my shoulder displace from the rest of my body and I was hanging there, and everyone screamed. I managed to pull myself back up and I kept shooting. Just popped it right back in said let’s get back to work! You have to be tough. I still had about six more looks to shoot. I got back in the tree even though everyone protested, because I saw the pictures and they were just amazing.”
It is not the only time the Cayman Island-born beauty has hurt herself for style - she once cut her arm while strolling up the catwalk for Victoria’s Secret in 2008. However, it has not put her off modeling: “I would almost do anything for fashion. Almost.”

If you thought Taylor Momsen wasted little effort to achieve her daily appearance, you’d be right. The actress/singer known for collecting tips in her shoes prefers to spend less time getting ready in real life than she probably does on Gossip Girl.
In this clip for MTV, Momsen said there are five basic steps involved in her beauty routine. “Well, I shower…and then i put a ton of black on my eyes…and then i put lipstick on…and a little bit of blush….and don’t brush my hair. That’s pretty much what I do,” she said, adding: “And, you know, all the things that I won’t mention on TV.” Because…?
