Lauren Conrad to Launch New Designs on MTV
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,
Lauren Conrad is to launch her new fashion line on her upcoming reality TV show.
The former The Hills actress - who has created collections for Kohl’s in the past - revealed her new high-end range will be debuted on her MTV reality show, but the 24-year-old star has admitted she is ready for the “stress” which will undoubtedly come alongside designing the new line.
“We’re in the very beginning process. We just submitted all of our tech packs for samples, so it’s in the very early stages. It will get stressful after this, when you’re dealing with deadlines, and you’re dealing with production and the possibility of a fashion show. That’s kind of when all the stress comes in. So, right now we’re just picking colours and doing samples.”
Lauren - who began her fashion career working as an intern for Teen Vogue in Los Angeles - also revealed she has enlisted the help of her friends to create the collection, which consists of a whole host of wardrobe “basics.”
“We haven’t started filming yet, so stay tuned! But my roommate and one of my best friends are running the company, the business end, and another one of my good friends, Gary, is doing kind of the creative direction. I do a lot of basics, so we have a great blazer, a high-waisted black skirt and biker jacket, and all those pieces can be traded throughout. It’s a lot of layering, a lot of switching-up, so you can get more mileage.”
Style Icon Kate Moss

Amanda Ross thinks Kate Moss is the ultimate style icon.
The Lipstick Jungle stylist - who is the Global Fashion Director for W Hotels Worldwide - says she is a huge fan of the supermodel’s dress sense because she has her own unique look and is always so well turned out. :“I really love how Kate Moss looks. She knows a style that’s good for her and always looks great. She’s such a trendsetter too. I also like the way Charlize Theron and Marion Cotillard dress as they always look so elegant and sophisticated,” said Amanda, who recently helped W Hotels formally launch its Winter 2010/Resort 2011 Global Glam collection at New York Fashion Week.
Her new role for W Hotels means Amanda gets to travel all over the world and admits one of her favorite cities is Copenhagen in Denmark because the people are all so stylish. Speaking at the launch of designer James Small’s new movie Journey, where guests included Kate and Sadie Frost, said, “I’m so fortunate that I get to go to all these fantastic places and I’d have to say Copenhagen is the most stylish city for me. I mean, London, New York, Paris and Milan are great but there’s just something special about Copenhagen.”

Gossip Girl Taught Ed Westwick About Fashion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials,
Ed Westwick thinks his fashion sense has improved since starring in Gossip Girl.
The British actor, who plays Chuck Bass in the teen drama, admitted he has had to “step up his game” after learning about different looks and styles from various designers and industry experts.
“My fashion consciousness - and self consciousness - have definitely grown over the course of being on the show. All the exposure and all the experience I’ve had of different sides of the industry means I have a better knack of how to put things together. We’ve all been to fashion shows, we’ve worked with designers in different capacities, on fashion shoots. You learn about different looks and colors. I’ve definitely stepped up my game.”
The hunky star explained that his favorite look out of the recent shoots he has done would be an English country gentleman style that made him look as though he was “going shooting with Prince Charles.”
“My favorite one was by Band of Outsiders. It was a grey flannelly wool-type trouser, brown shoes - no socks, of course - white shirt, grey waistcoat. It was chic but smart-casual, great for late summer, early autumn. I’m going to have to go out and grab that one. Then, they wanted an English look so I wore this plaid jacket with dark shirt and pants. I looked like I was going shooting with Prince Charles.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News,
Jessica Szohr wishes she could swap her style with Taylor Momsen—her character’s, that is.
The Gossip Girl star - who plays Vanessa Abrams in the hit series - admits while she likes the clothes her character is given in the show, she would love to wear the “girly” pieces Taylor’s character Jenny gets to fashion.
“I personally think Jenny has the best wardrobe on the show - it’s kind of grungy, but girly, without being too put together.”
The brunette beauty - who has been dating her Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick since 2008 - admitted while she thinks her character wears too many contrasting patterns and colors, she thinks all the girls in the show look “great.”
“Blair is too structured and perfect, Serena is always glammed up. Vanessa’s way too much with every color and pattern. It sounds like I’m being negative about them all, but I’m not - I think they all look great. But if I was going to go shopping for me, I’d head straight into Jenny’s closet.”

But I told you. I love imperfection.”

Christina Hendricks Loves Her Womanly Figure
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Voluptuous starlet Christina Hendricks felt “gorgeous” after gaining weight.
The Mad Men actress thinks she was too skinny when she was a model and was thrilled when she piled on the pounds after living in Italy because she started to look like a real woman.
“I guess my mom raised me right. She was very celebratory of her body. I never heard her once say, ‘I feel fat.’ Back when I was modeling, the first time I went to Italy I was having cappuccinos every day, and I gained 15 pounds. And I felt gorgeous! I would take my clothes off in front of the mirror and be like, Oh, I look like a woman. And I felt beautiful, and I never tried to lose it, ‘cause I loved it.”
Although the 35-year-old star is happy with her curves, she admits she’s had to start going to the gym but has surprised herself by how much she enjoys it:
