After a successful collaboration with H&M, Madonna is ready to launch her own fashion line.
The 51-year-old singer is creating the range, named MG Icon, in joint venture with her manager Guy Oseary and Iconix - the company behind Badgley Mischka and Candie’s.
“Joining forces with Iconix to bring my fashion ideas to consumers is very exciting for me. I look forward to working closely with Neil Cole of Iconix and his team to create and translate my vision and ideas for MG Icon.”
Discussing the range, Neil Cole said, “Madonna is a legend in the world of music, fashion and entertainment and now with her deep involvement in MG Icon we will be able to leverage her vision into consumer products globally. Our strategy is to introduce brands formed through the joint venture in multiple countries and organically expand worldwide.”
The brand’s first project will be named after Madonna’s hit “Material Girl” and will be a junior range with items costing between $12 and $40. Clothes will be on sale at Macy’s department stores from August.

Stella McCartney Wants Ethical Fashion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
Stella McCartney thinks that the fashion world is finally embracing ethical practices.
The designer - who is a strict vegetarian and animal rights campaigner - has always used responsible production for her creations and now says everyone else is starting to follow suit.
“I hope everyone else is catching up, but I’m also learning all the time, so I think I’m constantly changing and the brand is constantly changing. I think that’s part of being a modern brand, you have to react to the environment you are living in, as much as the industry you are working in.”
Despite a financial cloud still hanging over the world, Stella is excited about her future:
“I think we’re definitely hitting a really nice pace and it’s really exciting. It feels like it’s just about to take off, there is a lot of energy and a lot of positivity. It’s like the timing is right for our brand. I’ve grown up, not only physically but also mentally. I think that there is a new woman that’s also there, and I think that she has held the original girl’s hand and walked her though life for a little bit.”
Scarlett Johansson Knows That Beauty is Pain
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Scarlett Johansson is willing to suffer for beauty.
The stunning actress - who is the face of Spanish fashion label Mango - knows looking good can take hard work but says it’s worth it in the end.
“When I was little my mum always said, ‘Pain for beauty.’ That made me realize that, although the process of getting ready for an event is tedious, in the end it’s worth investing the time to have the look you’re happiest with.”
The 25-year-old beauty - famed for her old-school glamour look - also says it’s important to dress in outfits that you feel comfortable in, not whether they’re in fashion or not: “I think the most important thing is to look comfortable in yourself and in your own skin, whether you’re wearing something crazy, high fashion or casual. As long as you own the look, that’s the most important thing.”
While she loves clothes, Scarlett admits to being a shoe addict. She said, “I love shoes. I don’t wear heels a lot, but I love them, and have a ton of them. Shoes are so beautiful - I love the way they are made and the way they make you feel.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales,
Singer Pixie Lott has designed an exclusive fashion range which pays homage to her sense of style.
Lott has teamed up with British high street brand Lipsy to create a clothing collection, using her own unique look as the inspiration: “I have always been a big fan of Lipsy - I love what the brand stands for and I’m having great fun working with such a talented a creative team.”
The Pixie Collection has two distinct looks - Pixie Festival and Pixie Party - with both complimenting Lipsy’s sexy attitude. Vintage style cotton dresses, bleached denim, maxi dresses and fringed waistcoats make up Pixie Festival while Pixie Party consists of sexy chiffon layered dresses, oversized animal prints and studded vest dresses.
Jeremy Stakol, Lipsy’s CEO, said of the collaboration, “Pixie has string ideas about fashion, understands product and has her own unique style. She is exactly what Lipsy is all about in terms of fashion - we’re really pleased with the collection and confident it will be the top of every girl’s shopping list.”
The range will launch in the UK next month.
Lady Gaga Fan Henry Holland
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Henry Holland wants to dress Lady Gaga. The British designer is a huge fan of the eccentric “Bad Romance” singer’s sense of style and would love to work with her - but only if she agreed with his ideas.
“I’d love to dress Gaga but I’d be too terrified to tell her what to wear.It would have to be a collaborative process.”
The designer’s close friend, model Agyness Deyn, also confessed to being a big fan of Gaga and her quirky fashion ideas after seeing her promoting a new MAC lipstick. Agyness told Now, “I was inspired.”
Henry and Gaga should get along fine if the designer creates an outfit with lots of accessories - including high-heeled shoes. The singer said recently, “I would rather die than have my fans not see me in a pair of high heels. I’d never give up my wigs and hats for anything. You see legendary people taking out their trash, I think it’s destroying showbusiness.”
Final Alexander McQueen Collection Unveiled
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Alexander McQueen‘s last-ever collection has been shown in Paris. The low-key showcase of the designer’s final work was shown to a small group of people and received a positive reception from the assembled journalists and employees.
The show, which was originally intended to take place in the Conciergerie, a former prison, was backed by the sepulchral 17th-century choral music Alexander had listened to while creating the collection, which consisted of high-necked, close-fitting satin dresses accessorized with high-heeled carved gold shoes and thigh-high boots.

Lindsay Lohan Not Involved With Latest Ungaro Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors, Sales,
UPDATE: According to WWD, Lohan reportedly said, “I don’t work for them [House of Emanuel Ungaro] anymore.”
Is there still a future in high fashion for Lindsay Lohan? According to the label, Lohan was “not involved” with the latest Emanuel Ungaro collection.
The actress was the artistic advisor for the French fashion house, but rumors are now rife she has been axed from her job after she failed to have any input for their latest designs, which were showcased at Paris Fashion Week.
Speaking about Lindsay, who was not present at the last week’s show, the brand’s owner Asim Abdullah told WWD, “She’s not involved in this collection.” Last year, Ungaro’s then CEO Mounir Moufarrige slammed rumors Lindsay was to be axed after her debut collection was a critical flop: “As we speak, she is in New York in shoots with Ungaro. The decision to appoint her was controversial, but then fashion is controversial anyway, and you need some novelties and you need to test some new ideas.”
Lindsay - who has her own fashion line 6126 - has previously admitted being associated with her can have negative consequences. The 23-year-old star said, “I’m the first to say that in certain situations, my name will cheapen things because that’s what people have made of it.”
Old Blonde Emma Thompson
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, News,
Actress Emma Thompson was stunned when her daughter told her she was too old to have blonde hair. The Nanny McPhee actress recently dyed her tresses from brunette and while she likes them, 10-year-old Gaia wasn’t impressed.
The 50-year-old star - who is married to actor Greg Wise - said, “She says, ‘It’s got to go,’ and I say, ‘Look Gaia, I am only 50, I will get rid of it when I’m a bit older,’ and she says, ‘You are too old for blonde hair, mum.’”
However, Emma is adamant the blonde tresses will stay but admits there will come a point when she can no longer carry off the look: “When I am about 60 I will just shave my hair off and go salt and pepper. You can’t have blonde hair at the age of 60.”
The Love Actually star has previously admitted she likes getting older because she feels more relaxed about her career. “I feel that my age and station give me a certain amount of leg room. I’m not cramped by fear of failure or I think it would be good to fail. I’ve done it spectacularly from time to time. I think it’s a help getting older because you worry so much less about that.”
