Kate Moss Accused of Promoting Anorexia
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News
Kate Moss has sparked controversy after being accused of making comments which could promote extreme dieting. The supermodel caused outrage after revealing she tries to live by the motto “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”
She said in an interview on fashion news website WWD: “There are loads of mottos. There’s, ‘Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.’ That’s one of them. You try and remember, but it never works.”
Similar phrases can be found on pro-anorexia websites such as Starving For Control, which carries the slogan “nothing tastes as good as thin feels.”
The 35-year-old British beauty - who has a seven-year-old daughter, Lila Grace - has now been accused of encouraging young people to develop eating disorders.

Gisele Bundchen Tops Valuable Model List
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Models, News
Move over, Heidi Klum—Gisele Bundchen has been named the world’s most valuable model.
The Brazilian beauty, who is currently expecting her first child with husband Tom Brady, topped The Daily Beast’s annual list, which took into account multi-year contracts, advertising campaigns, runway appearances and magazine covers.
Gisele beat Kate Moss into second place, while others in the top 10 included new mother Adriana Lima, Christy Turlington and Miranda Kerr.
The website said of the list, “We considered four tenets to illustrate a model’s visibility and success - multi-year contracts, advertising campaigns, runway appearances, and magazine covers. Those with retail licensing deals, including Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen, got credit for those estimated annual earnings, as well. Annual income from contracts, primarily negotiated by large cosmetic companies and Victoria’s Secret, were weighted 40 per cent because they are the most difficult to get, bear the largest salaries, and indicate a very high level of success.”
Check out the complete list after the jump.

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.”

Fashion icon Kate Moss loves going out wearing her pajamas.
The supermodel, who is regarded as one of the world’s most stylish women, says that she’s happy to go out in her nightwear as she likes to feel comfortable.
“I do like a pajamas. I wore a pair out as eveningwear in New York once, and there was a massive snowstorm. We couldn’t get a cab, so I had to walk home in them. It was freezing, but they did look good.”

Kate Moss Saved Money on Make-Up
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors, Women
Apparently make-up artists need to save money, too—Kate Moss wore only moisturizer for a Calvin Klein photo shoot to save money.
Renowned makeup artist Kay Montano has revealed that she only used a lightweight base on the supermodel when preparing her skin for a perfume campaign in the late ‘90s because she had been urged to be frugal by bosses.
“Yes, the recession came and after that fashion and beauty became rather more pared down. One of my first jobs after moving to New York was to make up Kate Moss for the Calvin Klein Obsession fragrance campaign, and I just used moisturizer. She looked absolutely perfect.”
Kay, who has worked on London Fashion Week since it began 25 years ago, made a name for herself as the woman behind the dramatic make-up of the ‘80s. The British beauty expert said that her trademark smokey eyes were inspired by many of the decade’s biggest stars.
“My icons were women like Debbie Harry, make-up artist Barbara Daly—who did all of the Stanley Kubrik films—Jerry Hall and a makeup artist called Yvonne Gold. Yvonne had big, blonde dreadlocks and worked with Vivienne Westwood and her partner Malcolm McLaren who at the time had a new-wave band Bow Wow Wow. A signature technique of hers was to use gold paint over the Cupid’s bow, which makeup artist Pat McGrath uses a lot now.”

Christopher Bailey Praises Emma Watson
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, Women
Christopher Bailey is thrilled Emma Watson is the latest face of Burberry.
The British brand’s creative director is a huge fan of the Harry Potter actress and thinks that she is the “perfect” person to advertise the fashion house’s latest campaigns, following in the footsteps of Kate Moss.
“I love people like Emma Watson, who are always so excited by life. Our friendship is an organic thing. We had done a few things together and she regularly wore our clothes to events, so for me she was already a part of the Burberry family. Having her as the face of a campaign felt a natural extension of that. She has a classic beauty and modernity that felt a perfect fit for the brand, and she looks amazing in all of the clothes. But more than that, she’s also charming and intelligent, and we had a lot of fun working together.”
Reluctant Model Maggie Gyllenhaal

Maggie Gyllenhaal “mentally disconnected” when she agreed to model underwear for Agent Provocateur.
The Hollywood actress couldn’t believe she was fronting the raunchy campaign for the French lingerie company so soon after giving birth to her daughter: “I never think of it as modeling—it is just like playing a character. I mentally disconnected when I agreed to the Agent Provocateur campaign. Then, suddenly, I’m in my underwear on top of a piano adjusting my garter belt for a picture, having just had a baby. I thought, ‘What? How did I end up here?’”

Matthew Williamson’s Mother Muse
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Women
Matthew Williamson is a mama’s boy! The recent H&M collaborator cites his mother as his first muse.
The British designer, who has worked with stars including supermodel Kate Moss, Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, says his mother’s flawless look motivated him to enter fashion.
He explained to VogueTV: “I think my first fashion moment was watching my mom prepare for work. She used to prepare meticulously the night before and I would sit at the edge of the bed and question her. She was a little bit like my first muse.”
Matthew has since been inspired by Jade Jagger and actress Sienna Miller. He has been vocal about his love of Sienna’s style, saying he admires the way she has adapted her look during the ongoing global financial crisis:
“The credit crunch means people spend on things they love rather than trends. Sienna Miller looks great because she’s not afraid to mix designer pieces with cheaper things. Iconic pieces are good buys at the moment. A brightly colored belt is my all-time tip—a cinched waist looks great on everybody. A pink patent-leather studded belt transforms a T-shirt dress from being casual and beach-y to a glamorous silhouette.”
