Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News
“Whoever has time, because I couldn’t care less. Today nobody’s really found the real story… I don’t have too much consideration for the poor people who try to write that book... I have nothing to say. But it’s interesting that people in fact are lazy. If they worked hard they would find interesting things. Nobody finds it! So I’m in a position to say ‘#### you, you’re all lazy pigs.’ And I certainly won’t help them!”

Quote of the Day: Daisy Lowe on Karl Lagerfeld, Curves
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News
"My dream is to see a lot more female shapes in ad campaigns when I look through magazines...my friend was working with Crystal Renn and said she thinks she's only got a 38-inch hip. Karl Lagerfeld said he was going to embrace her womanly shape and then he just put her face on the ad campaign. Girls are starting to have tits in pictures, but I think it still needs to be about the curve... Real women have hips and an arse, yet loads of models in shows seem to have neither."
-- Size 4 model Daisy Lowe on wanting to see more womanly curves on the runway.

Quote of the Day: Tom Ford on His Naked Interview
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News
"I explained how when I come home I actually take off all my clothes, and I wear no clothes until I leave. I eat naked. I do everything completely naked. He said, 'That would make a great interview.' I said, 'Fine, we have to do it nude.' ... Anyway, we did the interview. The interviewer was straight, and I made it a point to desexualize the interview even though I was sitting with my legs wide open, completely naked. At the end of the interview, I put on a dressing gown and he put on his clothes, and I sat next to him on the sofa and said, 'Was that sexual?' He said, 'Absolutely not.' And I said, 'That’s because I didn’t make it sexual. Sexuality is in the eyes, it’s an expression, it’s in a look.' Then, all of a sudden, I looked at him in a very different way, and it made him very nervous."
-- Fashion designer Tom Ford on a very nontraditional interview he once had.

Quote of the Day: Anja Rubik on Terry Richardson
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Models, Rumors
"Only because I know he would push it a little bit more, in a way that would be very naked and I know that I wouldn’t go there probably. So that’s why it was stupid to accept the challenge because I thought I wouldn’t be capable. And you think...how it’s going to come out, because he has a different kind of take of that, a little bit more on the edge of, you know, I don’t want to say vulgar but on the very, very slight edge of it. There were supposed to be a lot of girls and he likes to shoot a lot of girls with girls and I just didn’t think I’d feel comfortable, that’s why."
-- Model Anja Rubik, who appears in Karl Lagerfeld's 2011 Pirelli calendar, on why she turned down fashion photographer Terry Richardson's Pirelli calendar the year before.

Quote of the Day: Daphne Guinness Establishes Her Labels
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News
"So much spirit and freedom of experimentation died in the ’80s. It started with AIDS; AIDS wiped all that out. And so many of the people who would understand what I’m doing are dead now. Still, even though I am not trained at this, I try to find new ways of expressing myself and to use whatever it is I have creatively. I am not an eccentric, and I am not some sort of multitrillionaire just interested in buying clothes... What drives me now is the idea of something being against the world. I’m an artist, I suppose."
-- International muse Daphne Guinness on what she truly is.
