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.”

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)!

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.”

Katie Holmes and Suri Wear Matching Dresses
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Girls, Women, Dresses
Judging by a photo taken of Katie Holmes and her daughter Suri, the actress-turned-designer wasn’t kidding about that children’s collection; I was hoping she would at least spare the kids.
In the picture, Holmes and her mature daughter stepped out in matching red dresses from her range, Holmes & Yang.
I’m still in shock that Maxfield actually chose these designs over Victoria Beckham’s creations. Holmes could at least try to make her outfit look good (Suri, on the other hand, looks adorable)—is her stylist too busy sewing more ugly products?

Madonna Stars in Dolce & Gabbana Campaign
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News
The Queen of Pop has seemed to move on from Marc Jacobs and has now moved on to cozying up with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, starring in their upcoming Spring/Summer ‘10 ad campaign.
While the Dolce & Gabbana pair have worked with Madonna in the past for her stage costumes, she has never taken to glossy pages for them until now. It probably helps that her current boy toy, model Jesus Luz, starred in the previous ad campaign for their fall line (he probably wants to remain employed).
“To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true,” the designing duo said.
Shot last week in New York City by celebrated photographer Steven Klein, I’m fairly excited for the photos; however, I’m hoping that we’ll be able to recognize her face this time around (as opposed to her controversial Louis Vuitton ads that were highly edited).

Quote of the Day: Donatella Versace on Sibling Projects
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Models
“When I was about 10 or 11, Gianni started to play with me being his model. He’d try clothes on me and ask, ‘What do you think?’ He was pushing me to do my hair lighter—to bleach it. So I was a fashion addict by the time I was 11 years old. I’d wear a miniskirt and patent-leather boots. I looked almost as I do now, the only difference being that I was 11. I was a very mature little girl because I was always with Gianni.”

Quote of the Day: Roberto Cavalli is a Rock Star
Posted by Robin Paulson 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.”

Tom Ford on Verge of Designing Womenswear
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women
Tom Ford says that he will release a womenswear collection when he finds the time and money.
The former Gucci and YSL designer is keen to have a female range, but admits he is waiting for the appropriate funding: “Financing is extremely expensive right now, so if we find financing in the right situation we’ll be able to start a women’s collection soon. If we don’t, we may have to wait a while. You know it will take me 18 months when I start, because I have to hire the team, find the factories, put everything together and then get the stores ready so there’s a place for these clothes.”
The 48-year-old also revealed sales of his menswear collection are doing very well: “Things are getting better every day in most places. So I’m optimistic and this is something that I plan on doing for the next 30 years of my life, so if I have to wait another six months or a year (to launch women’s) it’s ok.”
Christian Louboutin Turned Diffusion Line Down
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women, Footwear
Even though it seems as if everyone is doing a diffusion line for either H&M, Target, or other major retail chain, there’s one designer who is counting himself out: Christian Louboutin.
While he’s happy to shell out his time and effort for Barbie, it seems as if the shoe designer has no other collaborations in mind: “They [H&M] proposed me to do the diffusion line and I declined… Not that I don’t think it’s an interesting idea, but it’s a lot of work really, so it’s just difficult for me to do it.”
When asked about whether he would consider such a project in the future, my dreams of purchasing an affordable pair of his godlike creations were crushed. A girl can dream, eh?

Manolo Blahnik Hates When Pointless Girls Wear His Shoes
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women, Footwear
First were his comments about Sex and the City. Now famed shoe designer Manolo Blahnik is saying that he hates celebrities—well, at least just the pointless ones.
“I hate celebrities. All those pointless girls—I won’t name names, but you know who I mean. They are ‘famous.’ Ridiculous. I like women with style: actresses like Uma Thurman, icons like Audrey Hepburn. I like women with style to wear my shoes.”
Ouch. Too bad he didn’t name names! Then again, he does still want to be in business.
