The 20-year-old beauty - who is the daughter of rocker Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall - insists she never had any plans to embark on a fashion career, but her mother knew she would always follow in her footsteps.
"I was really not that into it. I always thought my mum was super-glamorous and I loved her clothes, but I was against modeling and would even make fun of it. Of course now, Mum's like, 'Ha, ha, told you,'" she said.
The blonde star also admitted she is surprised that her career has lasted so long as she knows it is unusual to stay a popular face: "I still don't expect it when I get jobs. The reason I thought my own modeling career would be a bit of a phase is because of my mum and Lizzie, who know what the industry is like. I just thought I'd model for one season. Sometimes models do last a long time, like my mum, but that's not really very common."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers,
The designer - who created Pippa Middleton's gown for the evening reception at last year's royal wedding - is thrilled to have the opportunity to focus on her first loves, "prints and textiles."
"I am really excited to launch a new collection dedicated to scarves. It has always been an important part of what we do, but now we can really focus on prints and textiles which is my first love," she said.
The collection will include a limited-edition Medal style launching in June, which will celebrate Britain's Olympics and Diamond Jubilee. Alice also wanted to create a range of scarves because she loves wearing them herself.
"I wear scarves as part of an everyday uniform; it is a great wardrobe companion, perfect for travelling, doubling as a wrap on the beach or adding color or a seasonal print to your outfit. With the opening of our first flagship store in the autumn, now is the right time to expand into new categories," she added.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers,
The Scottish designer has been working with Donatella's fashion house since he consulted with her for the first time in 2006, and she thinks he does so well because he knows what women are looking for in clothes.
"You know, I'm so proud of him. His last collection was amazing. Such confidence and creativity. Christopher's clothes are so desirable. He loves women. To combine that newness with clothes women desire makes him in another league - even an aristocratic fashion league, I should say," she said.
Christopher has been creating clothes for the Versus (Versace) line since 2009, and Donatella - who has previously compared him to her late brother Gianni Versace - reveals she loves his work because he so "respectful" to the Italian fashion house: "He is so respectful of the brand. He looks through the archive but always movies it forward. He listens, and people who listen will have a big future, success in life."

The Snow White and the Huntsman actress says she has no desire to go under the surgeon's knife in the near future although admits her opinion may change in many years to come.
"I can't foresee myself ever going under the knife, but then again, I'm only in my mid-thirties. Maybe it's different when you're in your mid-sixties. So I don't want to make statements about where I'm gonna be in 30 years."
The 36-year-old beauty says she's happy to get older but knows that her changing looks can be quite difficult with the industry she works in: "I look in the mirror and my face is changing. I have a different relationship all of a sudden with myself. Your face changes, things change - that's just kind of what happens. There are days when I definitely look in the mirror and go, 'All right, I need to find a cream.' It's hard in this industry, because I think so much importance is put on how you look. I'm not brave enough to be like, 'You know what? I'm just going to let it happen. Whatever. I'm so cool with every line on my face.'"

Shirley Manson used to "torture" herself for not being pretty enough.
The Garbage frontwoman - who is renowned for her unusual look - admits it took her time to learn to accept herself but now does not think about it and has a dismissive attitude.
"I used to torture myself because I thought I wasn't pretty enough, I wasn't young enough, I wasn't this or that enough. Now I'm like, 'F**k it.' I don't want to pay that price and pretend I'm something I'm not," she told Nylon.
The 45-year-old star recently admitted her band - made up of herself, Butch Vig, Steve Market and Duke Erikson - were the "weirdest looking cats" around: "There was a lot of queerness about my band. Are you kidding? We are the oldest, weirdest-looking cats out there, we look so f***ing bizarre. I always used to be a little ashamed that we were older; that we weren't beautiful and young and cool and wearing super-cool clothes. There was a feeling of, 'Oh I wished we looked like The Clash.' This time around, I love how much my band look. I think we look like the cast from a French movie. It's about self acceptance."

Karl Lagerfeld is to create four limited-edition T-shirts inspired by himself.
The Chanel creative director is to collaborate with British brand I Love Dust to co-design the garments for both men and women under his Karl label, with patterns featuring letters making up his face and designs taking inspiration from a sketch of a leather glove.
"Designing limited-edition T-shirts for someone like Karl Lagerfeld is every graphic designer's dream," said Mark Graham, founder of I Love Dust.
The T-shirts will be available to purchase on his KARL website and at a pop-up store in New York as well as Colette in Paris from Thursday.
The 78-year-old fashion designer has previously collaborated with Diet Coke, H&M and Net-a-Porter throughout his career, which has featured a number of controversies including calling British singing sensation Adele "a little too fat" in February, despite admitting he is a fan of her voice. "I prefer Adele and Florence Welch. The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice," he said at the time. Karl eventually apologized for his outburst and gave the singer a collection of Chanel's bags to say sorry.

Giuliana Rancic’s Fashion Line Inspired by Her Father
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Giuliana Rancic was inspired to create her own fashion line by her father.
The TV presenter's dad was a tailor in Naples, Italy and as a result Giuliana always wanted to create her own collection but she insisted costs were kept down on G by Giuliana so that it would be affordable for her fans.
"My father has always had clothing stores and had men's and women's clothing, so I've always had fashion running in my veins. But I'm not crazy, not delusional; I didn't try to do a line and sell it to the top department stores with a crazy price tag. I just wanted something that everyone could get," she told People.
Giuliana is so happy with the collection she is already planning to wear it on her reality TV show Giuliana & Bill and for her work on Fashion Police and E! News. "It's super affordable, easy to just wear. I'll be wearing it on my shows. I think people are really going to like it."
G by Giuliana will launch on the Home Shopping Network later this year.
