Nicole Richie Designs Jewelry for Bebe
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Sales, Women, Accessories
Nicole Richie is jumping on the Kardashian sisters’ bandwagon, creating a credit-crunch friendly jewelery collection for Bebe.
The reality TV star - who recently gave birth to her second child, Sparrow James Midnight Madden, and has a 21-month-old daughter Harlow with partner Joel Madden - has managed to find time to produce an exclusive collection of House of Harlow 1960 jewels for the retail chain’s online store.
The jewelery - which comes at an affordable price, with items ranging from $38 - has a hippy vibe and is in a similar style to her fashion line, House of Harlow 1960. The 28-year-old socialite also teamed up with the retailer to create a $25 bracelet where a percentage of the sales will go to the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation, which helps bring more opportunities to disadvantaged children around the world.
The jewelery line will be launched and sold on Bebe.com starting November 12.
Richie recently launched her own womenswear label Winter Kate - taking inspiration from daughter Harlow’s middle names - and spoke of her desire to make fashion accessible for everyone: “That was my philosophy when designing House of Harlow 1960, and it remains my philosophy for Winter Kate.”

Even fashion houses want to get in on the eco-friendly trend: Gucci has vowed to go green and help save the rainforest.
The giant fashion conglomerate, which owns brands including Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen, has joined forces with the Rainforest Action Network and decided to stop using paper from Indonesian rainforests and plantations as well as avoiding the suppliers Asia Pulp and Paper.
Executive vice president of global communications Mimma Viglezio said, “Standing rainforests are not a luxury, they’re a necessity if the world wants to stop climate change. Our actions are lowering our own carbon footprint, but we hope that they will also raise awareness inside the fashion industry that it’s possible for our industry to make a difference for rainforests and for the climate.”
This change in company policy will now ensure all the paper used—from for printing documents to carrier bags—will not come from endangered forests.
Bosses at the Rainforest Action Network are thrilled with the fashion giant’s dedication to the cause and have praised them as a “industry leader” for their hard work and hope other companies will follow. Forest campaign director Lafcadio Cortesi said, “The Gucci Group’s actions and commitments confirm its place as an industry leader. This move sets a bar for others in fashion and retail and demonstrates the foresight our society needs for our children and grandchildren to have standing rainforests and a stable climate.”
Fashion Police: Lady Gaga Ditches Clothes
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Celebrities, News, Women
Pop’s resident fashion fixation Lady Gaga seems to favor lace lately—perhaps a little too much.
The “Bad Romance” singer very much adhered to her pantsless trend last night, stepping out wearing nothing but her undergarments and fishnet hosiery beneath a see-through Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit in London!
I guess she’s just too cool to be seen wearing that spiked leather jacket in her arm… Is this going beyond her couture antics?

Natalie Portman Talks Plastic Surgery
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Rumors
Does Natalie Portman ever look bad? I didn’t think so, but someone at V magazine felt compelled enough to ask the actress how she feels about plastic surgery.
“I would hope not,” she responds, when questioned whether she would submit to what seems to be a Hollywood standard these days. She does, however, admit to thinking about approaching 40 (despite having over a decade until she reaches that hill): “You see people who were stars five years ago and already they’re waning. As actresses approach 40, it starts becoming really, really difficult.”
Photographer Mario Testino shot the images, which recall an androgynous look for the woman who still looked hot without her hair. In the images (seen after the jump), Portman evokes Lady Gaga’s pantsless trend in one and rocks a bustier with some major shoulder bling in another.
The magazine’s Winter 2009/2010 issue is on newsstands now.

Heidi Klum to Host, Not Walk
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows, Models, News
Supermodel Heidi Klum will host this year’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
The model mum, who gave birth to fourth child Lou Sulola Samuel three weeks ago, has always modeled at the annual show, but decided that her body isn’t ready to hit the catwalk.
Organizers were so keen to keep the German beauty—who famously once wore a million-dollar bra at the show—involved she will now be hosting instead, with the Black Eyed Peas lined up to play a set. The show returns to New York for the first time since 2005 and will be filmed this month before airing on CBS in December.
Heidi had previously said she was worried she might not get back into shape fast enough and would be devastated if she couldn’t take part in the show. In August, she said, “The last time I gave birth, I had two months, and I don’t know if I have that much time this time. It was pushing it the last time. But if I don’t make it, I’m sure I’ll be very sad.”
The 36-year-old model already has sons Henry, four, and two-year-old Johan with husband Seal, and five-year-old daughter Leni from a previous relationship.
Milla Jovovich Designs Hilfiger Bag
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Sales
Milla Jovovich is teaming up with American designer Tommy Hilfiger.
The model-and-actress—who has previously had her own fashion label, Jovovich-Hawk with catwalk beauty Carmen Hawk—is reportedly set to collaborate with the fashion house to create next season’s Tommy Hilfiger Breast Health International bag for charity.
Milla’s bag will reportedly launch next April. This year’s initiative was backed by supermodel Helena Christensen, who designed an oversized Momosa yellow leather tote bag for the campaign.
Fans of Jovovich can catch her in the sci-fi thriller, The Fourth Kind, which opens this Friday in theaters.
Angelina Jolie Dresses Her Kids in Stella McCartney
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Girls
Stylish mother of six Angelina Jolie knows how to dress her kids, too. Jolie was spotted taking her daughter Shiloh to The Gap in Santa Monica, where she splurged on adorable clothes from Stella McCartney’s line for the retail giant.
“She purchased two complete outfits right off the mannequins, head to toe, the shoes and everything. Then she bought a couple Junk Food t-shirts, one was a Superman emblem and a bunch of Gap watches for all of the kids. She probably spent close to $500,” a source revealed.
Five hundred dollars spent for 6 kids? That’s not bad at all! It’s nice to see that their wardrobes seem to be of the modest fare. I can’t wait until we see pictures in their adorable clothes!

Blake Lively Dresses Like Her Gossip Girl
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News, Rumors, Women
Blake Lively has a very similar dress sense to her character on Gossip Girl—is that surprising to anyone?
The actress, who plays socialite Serena van der Woodsen on the hit CW show, says she likes to wear the same outfits as alter-ego: “I dress just like Serena! I own half her wardrobe, so it’s far too similar to the way I dress.”
Blake, 22, is currently dating actor Penn Badgley, who plays Serena’s former boyfriend Dan Humphrey on the show.
Although she shares the same taste in men and clothes, Blake insists she and her character are not that similar: “I feel ridiculous at times with her - because I’m, you know, killing someone or marrying someone on Gossip Girl, but I look like me. I’m like, ‘Oh, this is absurd.’”
Her boyfriend, Badgley, has a rather awkward sense of women’s fashion—looks like Blake needs to school the fellow!
Lady Gaga Uses Her Fame Well, Puts Off Collection
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Celebrities, News, Rumors
While celebrities talentless people like Lindsay Lohan are off poorly advising collections, Lady Gaga is actually trying to do some good with her fame, putting off her own inevitable range.
“At some point, I will [design a collection]. Right now, I’m more concerned with using my fame to promote young designers such as Gary Card, an artist who designed a piece I used on stage.”
When asked about why everyone is dying for her to do a line, she reasons that “there hasn’t been a commercial artist lately that has embodied avant-garde and couture so insistently as myself.”
All I ask is that she includes pants in her line—I still fancy those. Perhaps a more commercial version of that Hello Kitty gown?

Quote of the Day: Roberto Cavalli is a Rock Star
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News
“All over the world people don’t treat me like a fashion designer; they treat me like a rock star… I can’t walk down 5th Avenue without being treated like a rock star. In fact, maybe it’s more… Many times I’ve walked down 5th Avenue with rock stars and nobody pays attention to them. It’s very strange.”
