Quote of the Day: Miley Cyrus Started Plaid

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors

“We look into fashion designs very much in advance. We started the plaid shirts and the cheetah pants before people started seeing it [on runways]. When you first look at it as a designer, you think, ‘Okay, this is going to be a little crazy.’ But you don’t know what’s going to be in in a year like Max [Azria] does. Max looks at other designers, and you know it’s very advanced. He’s got the inside scoop.”

Stella McCartney to Team Up With Leona Lewis

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors

With stylish stars like Angelina Jolie dressing kids in her clothes, it’s no wonder that more celebrities want to line up with Stella McCartney.

Pop singer Leona Lewis has her eyes aimed at such a collaboration, specifically an eco-friendly one.

“Leona and Stella got on famously. They are both vegetarians, don’t wear leather and are huge animal lovers. The [fashion] line would be very animal-friendly,” reveals an anonymous source.

The news comes after the pair were spotted being awfully chatty at a charity event, Children In Need, in London. Although McCartney has designed costumes for the film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, this team-up would be her first with a celebrity, despite having previous done lines for Adidas and H&M.

Lindsay Lohan Scores Another Fashion Gig

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women, Accessories

UPDATE: Pascal Mouawad tells WWD that the collaboration is “not happening.” Oops on Lindsay!

In extremely troubling and mind-boggling fashion news, Lindsay Lohan has actually been hired for another fashion gig, this time in the jewelry department.

Aside from the fact that fashion designer Emanuel Ungaro slammed Lohan for sucking his former house of its soul, did we all forget about those few photo shoot instances where jewelry went missing? I daresay that she’s got some convincing people working for her!

Word around the fashion town says that the hard partying starlet is teaming up with Pascal Mouawad to design a jewelry line for Bebe (first the Kardashian sisters, now Lindsay!). Mouawad recently aided Nicole Richie with her own jewelery collection for the San Francisco-based retailer—one would think that they’d spread these things out.

“Pascal and I are actually working together, we’re doing something with a friend who owns bebe. We’re doing a collection for them and we’re also going to be doing some other things,” Lindsay dished.

Can Mouawad help this poor soul who has clearly lost track of her career path?

Quote of the Day: Lady Gaga Takes Styling Cues From Art

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News

“My Jean-Paul Goude [Matthew Williams was] the inspiration that made the connection for me between the art world and the fashion world. He used to say things like ‘If you want to make a shoulder pad, don’t research jackets—research sculpture, mineral rocks, paintings.’ He thinks in a different way; he is the designer of the future.”

Victoria Beckham Praises Emma Watson

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors

If we haven’t convinced you to love Emma Watson, perhaps Victoria Beckham can!

Even though Beckham’s range boasts customers like Elle Macpherson, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez, and Blake Lively, the pop star-turned-designer says that she’d love to dress the Harry Potter starlet: “[Emma is] so sweet, so true to herself. There are so many young girls wearing too much make-up, too much hairspray—I find that very dated.”

So whose celebrity style does Beckham admire?

Rankin Hits Back at Lagerfeld

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, Rumors

Rankin thinks Karl Lagerfeld must have been drunk when he slated Heidi Klum.

Chanel designer Lagerfeld has been engaged in a war of words with the German model ever since he called her “too fat to model” and criticized her husband Seal’s appearance earlier this year, but fashion photographer Rankin has hit out at the designer, saying Heidi is on a par with Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer.

“I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about. He’s a funny one, Karl Lagerfeld, he doesn’t say anything for years and then when he does it’s so off the mark. Maybe he’d had a couple of drinks.”

Rankin, who has photographed most of the world’s top models during his career, praised the model’s worth ethic and versatility: “Kate and Heidi never turn up late - maybe half an hour late - they’re never difficult, never unmanageable.

“Heidi has an amazing ability to be able to step between high fashion, high street fashion, catalogue and mainstream TV and it’s very unusual. I don’t think there’s anyone else in the world - Claudia Schiffer maybe - who can do the same.”

Marc Jacobs Plans to Wed in 2010

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors

Although Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone originally planned to tie the knot in a very small ceremony at the end of late August, news and pictures never surfaced—in other words, it didn’t happen. It also could have been due to the fact that Jacobs and Martone never confirmed the wedding (we all know that celebrities mean quite the opposite when it comes to affairs such as this).

Rest assured—the famed designer opened up about the upcoming event (vaguely at best, but I’ll take it): “We still haven’t fixed the date but Lorenzo and I believe in commitment. We’re quite classic like that. We’ve got the license, hence the rumors that we’d already got married. So hopefully it will happen in 2010. When it does, it will be very low-key.”

From the way Jacobs spoke of business at Louis Vuitton, I would hope that the pair change their mind and make their big day an extravagant one—they seem to be the only company weathering this financial storm.

“In terms of what’s selling at Louis Vuitton, the recession hasn’t changed anything… our sales are up and I haven’t noticed that people’s tastes have got more subdued. There’s this huge cult following of almost crazy people at Vuitton who just want whatever they buy to be exclusive.”

I can’t wait to see their adorable wedding pictures (or what they’d wear for that matter)!

Marie Claire also published a few images (seen after the jump) of the pieces, set to hit Target stores on December 20th.

Loving or loathing the line so far?

Emanuel Ungaro Slams Lindsay Lohan Collection

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors

We’ve heard what Lindsay has to say about her failed collection at the House of Emanuel Ungaro; so what does the designer whose name is still used by the fashion label?

Apparently the 76 year-old, who sold the house to an investment fund four years ago, calls it a “disaster,” but unfortunately nothing he can control: “I’m furious but there isn’t a thing I can do. I have absolutely no link with that house.”

The line, which Lohan was appointed Artistic Advisor a month before the collection’s debut at Paris Fashion Week, was designed by Estrella Archs and well-received by the company itself.

Ungaro believes that this fashion debacle occurred because he sold his soul: “This happens to a lot of designers. We were creator/owners, responsible for both the designs of the house and its destiny. But when you give up your house, we’ve also given up our soul.”

Selling one’s soul tends to be associated with acquiring money from a business deal - he didn’t give it up for free (unlike Lohan)!

Quote of the Day: Tom Ford on Yves Saint Laurent

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors

“Yves and his partner, Pierre Bergé, were so difficult and so evil and made my life such misery… I’ve never talked about this on the record before, but it was an awful time for me. Pierre and Yves were just evil. So Yves Saint Laurent doesn’t exist for me.”

- Tom Ford on working with Yves Saint Laurent (ouch!). Could he possibly have been colder than Anna Wintour?
