Vera Wang Launching Make-Up Range
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty
Vera Wang is launching her own make-up range.
The designer - famed for her stunning wedding dresses - has teamed up with Kohl's stores to release Simply Vera, a line of affordable and stylish cosmetics. The range includes primers, shadows, moisturizers and lip colors and are all less than $39.50 an item.
Vera says the line is about creating a perfect canvas and adding pops of color, adding, "Make-up should let the real you shine through. Skin is your best accessory."
Last year, Vera - who has designed wedding gowns for the likes of Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian and Mariah Carey - announced she would be expanding her line in 2012 with a range for Kohl's including make-up, skin care, bath and body products and beauty accessories: "As part of my incredible partnership with Kohl's, I will now be able to offer women all over America my own personal regimen for skin care and make-up. It is an easy, light, modern and effortless approach to beauty and creativity. Like fashion, make-up is also transformational. I love the artistry of make-up to accentuate, enhance or create a mood for any time of day or occasion."

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers
Is she wearing her Halloween costume backwards?
Reality star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian appeared at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards (why anyone asked her to present a movie award is probably the better question) in a burnt orange Vera Wang gown looking like a wrinkly mess that crawled out from under the sea.
Should her family be arrested on the grounds that they allowed her to go out in public like this, or is it a nice change for the usually cleavage-happy Kardashian?
(Check out more questionable fashion looks here.)

Step aside, Camilla Belle—there’s a new princess in town.
With a campaign titled “Born to Rule,” it’s no wonder that Vera Wang chose the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet to star in the ads, promoting the designer’s Princess fragrance.
Sitting atop some lush-looking pillows with an exuberant butterfly crown, Zoe fits the part perfectly. If you want to smell like a princess, you can purchase the perfume at an any department store nationwide.

Vera Wang Makes a Trip to Sesame Street
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Fashion Designers
Sesame Street may be nearing 40, but the show clearly hasn’t gone out of style.
The PBS program has already played host to a long list of actors, musicians and even First Ladies. Now the famous address is serving as a temporary runway for some of fashion’s latest designs.
For the September 2009 edition of Harper’s Bazaar, a number of designers showcase their creations with help from a few of the street’s most colorful characters. In addition to Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta (seen after the jump), Carolina Herrera, Diane von Furstenberg and Derek Lam join the fun.
You can see more photos from that issue here.

Betsey Johnson Picks Her Successor
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors, Women
After decades of designing and producing every girl’s perfect prom dress, fashion designer Betsey Johnson’s reign at her company will soon be coming to an end.
“I should be retired. I’m basically screwing up because I’m not retired. I’d like to go in four days a month, something like that,” Johnson told New York Magazine. “My partner [Chantal Bacon] and I, we both want to know what would it be like to get up in the morning and go, ‘What do I do today?’”
Don’t worry—they’ve already found an heir (yes, it’s a guy!) to the throne: Eric Sartori.
Sartori, who has designed for Vera Wang and Hervé Léger, will be heading the brand. “He is the one. He’s much better than I am. He just has to Betsey-fy himself,” Johnson explained. The prom queen expects to hand over the responsibilities after the Fall/Winter 2009 show.
That’s not to say that she’ll be out of the picture, though…
