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

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.”
- Disney star and newfound celebrity fashion designer Miley Cyrus on starting trends.

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.”
- High fashion lover Lady Gaga on finding the styling link between art and fashion.

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

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.”
- Iconic designer Donatella Versace on her early fashion experience.

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.”

Quote of the Day: Lily Cole on Failure
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models
“I’ve never studied the correlation between the decades of plenty and the size of models, but it’s interesting, for sure. I was never asked to lose weight. I’m assuming people who are less successful are the ones who are told they need to be teeny to be so.”
- UK size 6 model Lily Cole on why other models haven’t found the same success she has met (oh, to wonder what Flippa Hamilton would say!).
