Kate Moss Piles on Holiday Pounds
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors
We weren’t the only ones worried about our additional holiday pounds—Kate Moss is worried about her figure after over-indulging in Thailand.
The supermodel, who is currently in the Asian country on an extended New Year break, has been tucking into plates of fried food and is now starting to regret her actions after piling on some pounds.
A friend of the 35-year-old beauty said, “Kate’s been a bit naughty on holiday. She decided to spoil herself, so she’s been ordering egg and chips a hell of a lot. Now she’s staring to regret it. She’s having to leave the top button of her jeans undone in the evening and is worried she’s put on timber.”
Although she has been over-indulging with the food, Kate has been exercising on her break as she recently learned a synchronized swimming routine.
A source said, “Kate has spent five days solid preparing for this synchronized swimming display. Underwater music was piped through her hotel pool, allowing her to practice her moves and refine the art of water ballet.” The catwalk queen is taking the swimming so seriously that she has been studying from a guide book to help her perfect her moves.

Nick Knight Adores Kate Moss
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Sales
Kate Moss is a fantastic model because she makes you want to buy the clothes she wears.
Renowned photographer Nick Knight - who has shot the supermodel on many occasions - has praised Moss for her ability to make any shoot work.
“I’ve known Kate for many years and she’s a fantastic model. She can put a little black T-shirt on and make it look like the exact T-shirt you want to buy this season. And that’s a real skill - she understands the narrative in clothing, and expresses that perfectly. That’s her great skill.”
No matter how many times Knight - whose exhibition Showstudio: Fashion Revolution is running at London’s Somerset House - has worked with Moss, he insists he never grows tired of photographing her because she’s always got something new to offer. “No, it’s never hard to come up with anything new for Kate. It’s a conversation that keeps on going. She’s always got something fascinating to say and I’m always very excited to meet her and to see her again. I never tire of photographing her.”
Knight has worked with most of the biggest names in fashion, including Alexander McQueen, Yohji Yamamoto, Calvin Klein and Christian Dior.

Kate Moss Covets Jewelry, Gets Sir Philip Green to Pay
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Rumors, Women, Jewelry
Kate Moss was so taken with a fellow guest’s bracelet at a recent wedding she bought it off her straightaway.
The supermodel became smitten with jewelery designer Ann Dexter-Jones’ accessory during a mutual friend’s nuptials and insisted she wanted it immediately. So Kate’s friend and boss - billionaire retailer and head of Topshop Sir Philip Green - offered Ann a large sum of money for the bracelet.
“She was so crazy to wear it so Sir Philip Green insisted Kate have it immediately and bought it for her right off my wrist.”
But Ann - who designed the black onyx, black diamond, solid gold and silver bauble, as part of her new jewelery line - wasn’t too upset because as well as the money, Kate also gave her another bracelet to wear. She told the New York Post, “And Kate gave me her Chanel bracelet as a gift, so that my wrist wasn’t bare.”
Ann’s line, Ann Dexter-Jones, debuts this week.
Helena Christensen Still Thinks of Grandma
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors
Helena Christensen was worried that her grandmother would die of shock when she posed nude.
The supermodel, who turns 41 on Christmas Day, stripped off for a racy photo shoot for Elle magazine but says she only agreed to it because she know the shots would be subtle.
“I have no problems with showing my body. I just wanted the nudity to be in that normal, subtle way because my grandmother is still alive and I want to keep her for another 15 years. I don’t want her to get a shock.”
Helena also says she would like to follow in the footsteps of fellow supermodel Kate Moss and launch her own clothing range: “Obviously, Kate has an exclusive style, so it’s a huge value she can pick the things she picks. I would be super-happy to have a big company behind me like that, who will trust your style and base whole collections on it. That’s the ultimate.”
Heidi Klum Exercises With Baby Lou
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News
Supermodel Heidi Klum lost her pregnancy weight thanks to her baby.
The German-born beauty modeled for a Victoria’s Secret underwear show just six weeks after giving birth to her fourth child, daughter Lou, and credits taking long walks with the infant for helping her shed the excess pounds.
“In the first two weeks after the birth I did absolutely nothing. Then I started very slowly with a bit movement. We live in Los Angeles at a very steep hillside. I walked it up and down - with a baby buggy! Then I extended this subsequently to longer walks.”
As time went on, Heidi expanded her workouts but admits she prefers working out with the infant than a trainer: “Then I called my trainer Andrea Orbeck. She comes to me a few times a week. We train with weights, we do exercises with a medicine ball and much more. To be honest - it is not really fun for me. But I think it’s important for my body.”

She wrote on her blog: “I have decided to start my own line!”
The sketch - which shows a bracelet sleeved jacket being worn with a pencil skirt - suggests her collection will be true to her signature style of ladylike sophistication. The 21-year-old also wrote she needed some help: “I need your suggestions on what my line’s name should be. Please leave your comments, and I’ll be happy to look at your suggestions.”

Lorenzo Martone Dreams Big
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Models, News
Lorenzo Martone only wants to represent people who “dream big” with his specialist PR agency.
The strategic planner, who is engaged to fashion designer Marc Jacobs, says he and business partner Ryan Brown felt there was a “need” to launch ARC NY, which helps its supermodel clients fulfil their ambitions away from modeling.
“We thought there was a need because these girls are very young, they are bombarded with proposals and ideas - and they have a lot of dreams themselves. We just felt that they could use a little bit of guidance in how to promote some of those ideas in the right way. They have to dream big. They have to have a bigger plan and a certain ambition for us to represent them, because we don’t want to be a PR agency that just dresses people for parties. That’s not what we do.”
Lorenzo believes people have career ambitions focusing on more than one area and wants to help as many people as possible realize their dreams. He added, “People are multitaskers, they enjoy doing more than one thing - and once you understand that modeling is an entertainment platform, there’s so many ways to express yourself. It can be through your modeling career or through your writing or through a product line that you can express your creativity, so why not?”
Teenage Fashion Designer Twiggy
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models
Fashion icon Twiggy wanted to be a fashion designer when she was a teenager.
The British model, who became known in the 60s for her wide-eyed, striking appearance, designed and made her own clothes as a youngster and believes her unique outfits and designing skills are the reason she was successful as a model.
“My first memory of knowing exactly what I wanted to wear was when I was 13 - I was a mod and mod clothes were very specific. There weren’t really teenage clothes back then, so I made them myself. That was when I became very aware of fashion. In fact I became so obsessed with clothes that my plan was to go to art school and become a designer. In 1966 that all changed when I was discovered and started modeling. And I think my look had a lot to do with me being discovered. In one of the first shoots I ever did I was wearing bell bottoms in bright yellow jersey with big green petals appliquéd all over them that I’d made myself.”
These days, the 60-year-old beauty is inundated with beautiful, designer clothing: “I’m not a hoarder. I’ve got special pieces that were made for me by people such as Bill Gibb, Barbara Hulanicki and Ossie Clark that I hang on to, but sadly I didn’t keep everything from the 60s. I go through my wardrobe every few months - the family get first choice, then friends and the rest goes to Oxfam. Even so, I do have a walk-in wardrobe that’s full, but then you always fill the space you’ve got. I’m very lucky that I am given some wonderful clothes as gifts - and, if I’m going somewhere very special, my very nice designer friends will lend me something - but at heart, I’m a bargain-hunter.”
