The 48-year-old supermodel - who was once nicknamed "The Body" - is happy to embrace getting older as she doesn't think being younger always means being more beautiful.
"I don't believe that youth equals beauty or beauty equals youth. How I feel, how well I am is more important to me. It doesn't bother me becoming 50 at all, the alternative is death, so that is not an option. I rather like the idea of flowing on with life. I have had amazing life experiences and hopefully another 50 years of experiences ahead of me."
Elle - who has two children, Flynn, 14, and nine-year-old Cy, nine, with former partner Arpad Busson - recently renewed her contract with cosmetics brand Revlon and says it makes her feel the attitude of brands toward older people is changing: "That tells me this is not an ageist society, and Revlon is a modern company."

Stella McCartney Opens First Adidas Store
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Sales,
Stella McCartney opened her first ever standalone Adidas by Stella McCartney store over the weekend.
The designer - who has created the Adidas kit for the Great Britain team to wear during the London Olympics this summer - chose South Kensington's Brompton Cross in London as its location, which is also home to the her mainline and childrenswear shop: "This store is a real celebration of what we have been building for the last eight years together with Adidas and hopefully it is going to be the home for women to go to and find everything they need for their sports - and at the same time not having in any way to sacrifice their style. It's very much part of the world of the Stella McCartney store that we have opened in Brompton Cross, and it's really the icing on the cake, as far as it is expressing the different facets of the brand."

Kim Kardashian Wants Supermodel Figure
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has learned to accept her curvaceous figure, but she still wishes she was thinner and wants to have a supermodel's figure.
"If I could have anyone's body, I'd love to be a supermodel. I'd love to be skinny for the day. It's a process. You have to learn to accept it. You have to learn to like what you see in the mirror, but there are definitely times when I don't. I'm built a certain way and you just can't change that."
The 31-year-old star - who is in a relationship with Kanye West - is "not always confident" about showing off her body, and despite working out at the gym on a regular basis, she has particular hang-ups about her thighs.
"In Hollywood, people are used to stick-skinny women, and that's never going to be me. Growing up, I'd look at those skinny models and feel like I looked different. I'm not always confident. I have hang-ups like everyone else - I've never been a big fan of my thighs. I work hard at the gym to look like this. It's not easy and I have to work at it every day of the year, and watch what I eat."
Louis Vuitton Named World’s Most Valuable Luxury Brand
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
The French fashion house - whose creative director is Marc Jacobs - took the title for a seventh consecutive year after being valued at $25.9 billion following a study based on analysis of company performance and consumer interviews conducted by global research company Millward Brown Optimor.
Louis Vuitton beat off competition from Hermes, which was second with $19.1 billion, and Swiss watchmakers Rolex were third with $7.17 billion.
"Luxury is seen as a good investment with people increasingly buying classic pieces rather than high fashion. Those who can afford it indulge, including young professionals who, increasingly unable to buy houses, are spending their disposable income on mid-tier luxury," Nick Cooper, managing director of Millward Brown Optimor, said in a statement.

Paris Hilton Express Changes with Her Perfume
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
"Creating a new fragrance or two each year has been a great way to express the changes I have gone through. Now I have a whole wardrobe of them to choose from, from light and beachy to mysterious and sexy," she said.
Paris - who has an additional 16 product lines - has generated $1.5 billion in sales with her fragrance collection, which is distributed by Parlux, but she admits she never expected it to be so successful: "What started out as just an interesting experiment became a real business very quickly. Every one of the scents I have done is still on the market somewhere. I will keep providing Parlux with new inspirations and will continue to visit our customers around the world."
Despite her busy schedule, Paris insists she is "very involved" with every aspect of creating her fragrances and particularly enjoys promoting her work.

Beth Ditto Wants Her Own Fashion Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
"I wish that there was more control in that line, but there wasn't. It was really fun, but the things that I really wanted couldn't be turned around in time. It was made in India, which caused a lot of conflict for me. I really want to do my own line that's ethically made, and I can do whatever the f**k I want with it. I also want to start an online vintage store, kind of like Re/Dress [Brooklyn's now-closed plus-size boutique]. I want to do a buy-the-outfit function, and I want to show how outfits look on all kinds of different body types, even boys and butches."
Beth also spoke about Karl Lagerfeld's recent comments about Adele, in which he claimed the singer was "a little too fat."
"First of all, Karl Lagerfeld is not even sane. Second of all, he's not the end-all, be-all of what he does. He's really talented, but that doesn't mean he's right. Third, Karl Lagerfeld used to be this really fat, eccentric dude. He always had that fat kid fan with him too. To me, only a person who was fat could get away with saying something like that," she said.
Halle Berry ‘Hardly’ Wears Make-Up
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
The 45-year-old actress prefers to go for a natural look and give her skin "a break" when she is out and about, and counts a good "lip balm" as beauty must-have.
"I hardly ever wear make-up. I like to give my skin a break - let it breathe," she said.
Despite going make-up free on regular occasions, Halle admits to being a big fan of using Kinara Spa skincare products and sunscreen, as well as snubbing smoking and excessive drinking to keep her skin healthy: "It's cleansing your skin, watching what you eat, no smoking, not too much drinking, no sugar - just simple. And using sunscreen! If you don't have a good base, then it doesn't matter what you put on it - it's not going to look as great as it could."
Halle - who has four-year-old daughter Nahla - recently opted for a curly hairstyle for her latest film, The Hive, and she sees her new-look locks as a fashion accessory "like a handbag or pair of shoes."

Georgia May Jagger ‘Thrilled’ to Work with Madonna
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
The model was announced as the new face of Material Girl on Wednesday and says she is delighted to work with Madonna because the "Gimme All Your Luvin" singer is one of her style icons.
"To be handpicked by Madonna and Lola [Lourdes] as the new face of Material Girl is truly amazing. It all came together rather quickly. My agent received a call from the Material Girl team saying Lola and Madonna wanted to work together with me.
From talking with Lola, she and her mum liked my style and thought it would be a good fit. I've always admired Madonna's style and I'm thrilled to be working with her and Lola. I dressed up like her for a school dance once! The campaign will break this summer. I'm sworn to secrecy until then, but we shot in New York and it was great fun," she said.
The 20-year-old model- whose parents are Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger - is also the face of Rimmel London and is currently in Paris shooting a campaign for Hudson Jeans.
Louis Vuitton to Collaborate with Yayoi Kusama
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
Louis Vuitton is to team up with Yayoi Kusama for a new collection.
Marc Jacobs, creative director of the French fashion house - which last worked with Yayoi in February when it offered her financial support for her collection at the Tate Modern - is looking forward to teaming up with the Japanese artist again for the range because he "admires" her "endless" energy: "Her energy is just endless. Through the painstaking sort of obsession in each of her canvasses and installations that she's created, you see this world that never ends. I guess that's what I admire and that's what I respond to in terms of feeling for her and for her work."

The Florence + the Machine singer used to wear all her male bandmates' clothes when they were first out on the road together, but insists it was only because she was too lazy to find female garments to wear.
"I was like a cross-dresser but really it was just out of laziness. At times I looked like a cross between Annie Hall and [TV presenter] Bruce Forsyth. I went through a period of a couple of years when I'd wear just anything. I was on the road with boys in the band and I'd just wear all their clothes. I'd grab a pair of their trousers and throw one of their shirts on. It never incurred to me it was odd or I may have looked strange. I was getting around on a bike and it was just easy," she told The Sun.
When her career took off, Florence then started spending her pay checks on vintage clothes and establishing her current unique style.
