Impatient Exerciser Helena Christensen
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Sales,
Supermodel Helena Christensen is “impatient” when it comes to exercise.
The supermodel is the face of Reebok’s new EasyTone trainers - which promise to tone a wearer’s legs and behind as they walk - and says they are perfect for her because they show results almost immediately.
“With my busy schedule it’s a perfect way to do something without spending hours in the gym. I’m impatient, when I try something I like to see results immediately. I could feel these working right away which is why I’ve stuck with them.”
The 41-year-old beauty uses the trainers when she walks around New York and can feel a difference at the end of the day: “Living in New York, I like to walk everywhere, so to have trainers that tone your legs and butt as you walk is fantastic,” she explained. “You can really feel them working and I’ve noticed a difference in just a few weeks. They are comfortable to walk in, it almost feels like you are walking on sand, but by the end of the day you can feel it in your legs almost like you have done a workout.”

Quote of the Day: Michael Kors on Models
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
“Models, by nature, are not supposed to look like you and me. They are exemplary. They have bone structure and height and lengths of leg that normal people don’t have. But you want that to be based on genes, and if they’re adults, you want that to be based on adults who take care of themselves… I think if you send out an army of robotic 14-year-old children dressed up in their mom’s clothes, I think the reality is that it’s a turnoff, unless you are in fact a robotic 14-year-old.”

Beyonce Wants Posh Designs
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Rumors,
An R&B artist desires some girl power: Beyonce wants Victoria Beckham to design her tour outfits.
The sexy singer is a huge admirer of the former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer’s collections and is keen for her to create some stunning outfits for her next series of concerts.
“Beyonce is a big fan of Victoria’s work, and was given a couple of samples from the new collection. Victoria was hugely flattered and has agreed, in principle, to suggest some designs. While Beyonce already has the sunglasses and a few dresses, it is Victoria’s more elegant full-length designs that she particularly loves as they are a real departure from her usual glitzy stage costumes. This collaboration could be the start of something big.”
Victoria’s designs have become a huge hit with celebrities with Demi Moore, Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz and Heidi Klum all donning some of her creations. Demi wore a strapless, floor-length royal blue dress from Victoria’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection at the pre-Oscars Hollywood Domino party and couldn’t help but gush about Victoria’s handiwork: “I always feel so comfortable and Victoria’s designs fit so well. They’re just stylish through and through.”
Rumors Swirl Around Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Break Up
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Rumors,
Marc Jacobs has reportedly split from Lorenzo Martone.
The designer married the Brazilian PR executive on New Year’s Eve on the island of St. Barts in the West Indies, but the couple have decided to separate less than four months later. One friend told the New York Post, “They’ve both been telling people that they broke up.”
Although Lorenzo has denied claims he has moved out of the Manhattan apartment they share, he didn’t accompany his beau to the wedding of Marc’s business partner Robert Duffy last week. A spokesperson for Marc said, “We don’t comment on Marc’s personal life.”
Although the couple wed in St Barts, they had yet to sign any official wedding documents, meaning the marriage wasn’t legal. Lorenzo said, “In the end, we just had an intimate ceremony at a friend’s house with people who were already on the island. Although the official wedding papers won’t be signed till later this year, so legally we’re not married yet.”
Representatives for Marc and Lorenzo had previously denied the couple married, even though there was a wedding cake at their New Year “party.” In January a representative said, “Someone had a party for them, but there was no wedding. They are still engaged.”

Alessandra Ambrosio has become the new face of Moschino.
The Victoria’s Secret model will front the fashion label’s Fall/Winter 2010 campaign and will appear in a series of images which have been taken by fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
Moschino creative director Rossella Jardini said, “I have chosen Alessandra as model for the Moschino Fall/Winter 2010 advertising campaign as her Mediterranean style, mixed with her natural way of being chic, fits perfectly with Moschino.”
The Brazilian beauty gave birth to her first child, daughter Anja, in August 2008 and quickly regained her stunning figure. She recently credited her amazing body with eating lots of protein while still indulging in the occasional treat: “Lots of greens, but I love meat, so lots of protein. I have a little bit of chocolate here and there!”
As well as having a healthy diet, the 29-year-old star regularly works out with her Brazilian trainer doing the Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a mix of samba, capoeira and aerobics.

Lauren Conrad Keeps it Simple
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
Lauren Conrad keeps her skincare routine simple. The reality TV star - who has her own range of clothes for Kohl’s - says she has now learned not to use too many products on her face and feels much better for it.
“I used to use a ton of stuff. I’ve been going to Kate Somerville for a while now, and through facials and treatments they’ve weaned down my skincare regimen, which is nice. Now at night, I just use a mild face wash and an oil-free moisturizer.”
Lauren is currently creating her next collection for Kohl’s and loves being involved in the process.

Heidi Klum Experiments With Hair
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Former Victoria’s Secret model Heidi Klum cut her hair because she was “bored.”
The German supermodel admits she loves experimenting with her locks and is delighted with her new ash-blonde bob.
“I got bored as we all do once in a while as girls. Whenever I get bored I change it. I grow it then cut it, grow it then cut it. For some people they never change it and it works for them but for me I get bored.”
The 36-year-old beauty - who raises four children with her singer husband Seal - showed off her new look on TV talk show The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where she also gave the host a new style, spraying his hair black. “You have hair, not like my husband. You can actually do something with it.”
However, the presenter was unimpressed with the Project Runway host’s efforts. Wiping his face with a towel, he complained, “There’s black stuff dripping down my face.” But Heidi defended her efforts, saying, “I think I did a terribly good job - brings out the eyes.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorials, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Mario Testino and Kate Moss are producing a book together.
The limited-edition photographic collection - entitled Kate Moss by Mario Testino - will be released this summer by publishers Tachen and will be limited to just 1,500 signed copies. The 128-page boxed hardcover book will retail for around $475.
Kate - who has a seven-year-old daughter Lila Grace with ex-boyfriend Jefferson Hack - recently posed nude for her current beau, The Kills rocker Jamie Hince. The 36-year-old supermodel stripped off for a series of sexy black and white images - where she is wearing nothing but a German Kaiser helmet - taken by the musician.
“Kate is very proud of them and is considering whether to exhibit them or not.”
While the British catwalk beauty makes up her mind about whether or not to display the photographs, they are being looked after by her friend Rose Ferguson and her husband Jake Chapman. While Kate is thinking about showing off her pictures, an exhibition dedicated to her career was recently cancelled.
