Daisy Lowe for Swarovski
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models, Sales, Women, Jewelry,
Now that fashion designers are on television, it’s no surprise that models like Daisy Lowe are branching out, creating a jewelery range with Swarovski.
The British model has teamed by with the luxury crystal company for a capsule line which will be available from January.
She told W: “It’s four pieces—a necklace, bracelet, ring and set of earrings. They’re kind of magical in a dark, romantic way. I’ve incorporated black and white, star and moon crystals, and multiple strands of chains. I wanted it to be about the earth, moon, and planetary movements, all that kind of weird stuff.”
The 20-year-old star, who has modeled for Chanel, Vivienne Westwood and Agent Provocateur, also refused to rule out creating a clothing collection, but admitted she has no immediate plans to do so: “I’m so in love with fashion and playing with clothes, so I would never say no to designing fashion.”
Daisy isn’t the only model to show an interest in creating accessories—last month, Amber Le Bon revealed she was considering going to university to study jewelery making. She said, “You have to take every opportunity you can. I have loads of designs on paper and there is a really good jewelery course at London’s Central Saint Martins. A friend of mine has just graduated from there, so I may look into that.”

Jessica Simpson a Runway Model?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows, Models,
Has Jessica Simpson traded in concerts stages for the runway?
Although her name is attached to a line of shoes, handbags, perfume and lingerie, the catwalk gig is not something we’re used to seeing from Simpson. Thankfully, someone allowed her to use her best serious face in Ozlem Suer’s fashion show. (You can see more stills after the jump.)
Her appearance in Paris was, of course, documented for a reality project. Jessica, who has had highly-documented struggles with weight, is currently filming The Price of Beauty for VH1. In the series, the 29-year-old will travel the globe to chat with various women about the beauty industry. (Cue her Proactiv commercials now.)
No word yet when Price will debut.

Quote of the Day: Victoria Beckham on Her Bitchiness
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Rumors, Women,
“People think I’m a moody bitch. I do have my insecurities. Maybe that is why I look a little bit serious. The kind of person who’s going to stand on the red carpet and love the attention and have the big grin — I’m just not like that. I want to get in there, do what I’ve got to do, and get home to my kids.”
- Appearing on Elle‘s October cover, Spice Girl-turned-fashion icon Victoria Beckham tells the magazine what she’s really like (despite her fierce look).

Katie Holmes Bumps Victoria Beckham Out of Maxfield
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales,
For some bizarre reason, Katie Holmes‘s fashion range is set to replace Victoria Beckham’s at a US store.
It has been claimed Los Angeles boutique Maxfield will sell Katie’s new collection Holmes and Yang, after dropping her close friend’s denim line dVb by Victoria Beckham.
A source told the New York Post, “Maxfield no longer carries dVb. It is because of poor sales.”
However, Beckham’s representative insists the exclusive boutique hasn’t stocked Victoria’s denim collection for some time: “Maxfield has not carried any dVb product for the past three seasons.” Maxfield’s representative wouldn’t say when the store dropped the fashion line.
This isn’t the first shop to stop stocking Victoria’s designs.

Mark Ronson Avoids T-Shirts
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News, Men, T-Shirts, Sneakers,
Mark Ronson has started going to the gym because he hates his arms. The music producer, who is widely considered a trendsetter, has never been happy with his arms and his body hang-ups have prevented him wearing certain items of clothing.
“Even at 24, I wouldn’t wear T-shirts because I hated the way my arms looked. I worked out on and off until I was about 30, then I got bored, or lazy. Now I’m 33 I feel it’s time to start doing something a little bit more healthy.”
Mark enjoys sporting smart outfits when he is working on new material in the recording studio and uses fashion to show he is serious about his work: “I dress up to come to the studio. Looking at old pictures of the Blue Note session guys or Phil Spector, going to work to do a job. The Abbey Road guys even wore lab coats. I haven’t tried that look out yet.”
Mark has also spoken about the line of sneakers he has created for Gucci. The music star insists his collection with the Italian fashion house is nothing like Kanye West‘s footwear collaboration with Louis Vuitton: “My shoes are from the 30s and his are from the future.”

Demi Moore Admits to Having Stretch Marks
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Rumors, Women,
Believe it or not, Demi Moore has “excess skin and stretch marks.”
The 46-year-old actress, who has been slammed for denying having cosmetic surgery, has hit back at her critics and insists her body has changed since she became a mother.
Demi, who has three daughters with ex-husband Bruce Willis, took to the internet to address the comments she reportedly made during an interview with France’s Marie Claire magazine.
Referring to an old photograph that shows the Hollywood beauty sporting stretch marks, Demi wrote on her Twitter account yesterday, “I still have excess skin and stretch marks!”
She added, “Ahh hate to break it to you but I do. Comes with having a few kids 4 some of us! All this garbage that came out today about me is nothing more than an effort to diminish not just me but all women (sic).”
Demi also used her internet blog to urge her female fans to refuse to conform to ideals about their appearance and be proud of their bodies: “Diminishing us by continually measuring women based on how we look. Or dont look. Creating comparisons instead of connections Say no 2 that (sic)!”

Women Flash Flesh at 40
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, News, Sales, Women, Skirts,
Women up to the age of 40 are wearing shorter skirts than ever before. In the 80s women generally discarded the mini after the age of 33, but new research shows females are now prepared to flash their flesh for longer.
Spokesman for UK store Debenhams Ed Watson said,
“It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies and are happy to dress accordingly. If this trend continues, there is no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid-40s and early-50s will rightly regard a mini skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe.”

Rihanna Goes Topless For Vogue
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Women,
Rihanna has posed topless for Italian Vogue.
The “Umbrella” singer has taken part in a raunchy photo shoot with famed fashion photographer Steven Klein for the magazine’s annual couture supplement.
The Grace Jones-inspired cover of the special publication sees the star clad in a structural feathered Valentino gown and patent knee-high boots, throwing a bucket of water at the camera. Inside, the daring pictures see the “S.O.S.” star clad in just skimpy pants, with glitter covering her chest. Other images show her in a Madonna-style conical bra, and another has her donning a sharp-shouldered jacket teemed with just lace knickers and suspenders and boots.
The Barbados-born beauty’s hair also dazzles in the pictures, sculpted into a range of high quiffs and cones, teamed with dramatic dark eye make-up and deep red lips.
Most of the pictures have been shot in black and white, with a lone color photograph depicting her wearing a turquoise dress and boots.
Quote of the Day: Tim Gunn on Jon Gosselin’s Style
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Men, Ed Hardy,
“In his case, everything is too big. It is what I refer to as the slobification of America. If you want to dress to feel as though you never got out of bed, then don’t get out of bed.”
