Keira Knightley’s Jeans and T-shirt Wedding?

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,

James Righton and Keira KnightleyKeira Knightley may have a "jeans and t-shirt" wedding.

The Anna Karenina actress - who is engaged to Klaxons musician James Righton - thinks it would be "pretty generous" if Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld offered to create a gown for her, but is not sure if it would be the right choice yet.

"Well, that would be pretty generous of him. He's an incredible designer. Would I say yes? To be honest, I'm working on another film straight after Anna Karenina, which finishes after Christmas. Then, maybe I'll start thinking about the dress and the guests and the venue. It really depends on what sort of wedding I decide to have - if I go with jeans and t-shirt options, then maybe it wouldn't be quite right. I haven't decided on anything yet."

Despite a fearsome reputation, Keira claims Karl is a "nice man" and enjoys likes the work she has done with Chanel as she is allowed to pout: "He really is such a nice man, when you're shooting with him, he just sits there holding your hand. Working on Chanel campaign is so different to working on a huge film with Chanel I'm told to pout all I want!"

Rankin Considers Photographing Kate Moss’ Wedding

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News,

Fashion photographer RankinFashion photographer Rankin would consider breaking his no-weddings rule for Kate Moss.

While he has always refused to act as official photographer at weddings because he finds the pressure too great, he would step in if close pal Kate Moss -- who will marry Jamie Hince in July -- asked him to photograph her nuptials.

"You don't say no to Kate but she wouldn't ask me -- she'll probably get Mario [Testino]. If she did ask though, I'd tell her to get back up as well as me. I'd be so nervous, and not just because it's her -- for anyone it's a really special day. There's too much pressure on it and so much stress seems to surround weddings. I always say no to photographing family weddings -- I'll always set up a studio on the day but I won't take pictures all day. You don't want to mess it up."

If Rankin -- who along with photographing Kate has worked with Sienna Miller, Heidi Klum and Vivienne Westwood -- does decide to take pictures of Kate's wedding he should find it easy as he revealed he learned his craft by taking pictures of family and friends.

Sneak peek at Lindsay Lohan's 6126 handbags- “California Gurls” singer Katy Perry aims to get John Galliano to design her wedding dress for when she ties the knot with comedian Russell Brand.

Marc Jacobs Plans to Wed in 2010

Lorenzo Martone and Marc JacobsAlthough Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone originally planned to tie the knot in a very small ceremony at the end of late August, news and pictures never surfaced—in other words, it didn’t happen. It also could have been due to the fact that Jacobs and Martone never confirmed the wedding (we all know that celebrities mean quite the opposite when it comes to affairs such as this).

Rest assured—the famed designer opened up about the upcoming event (vaguely at best, but I’ll take it): “We still haven’t fixed the date but Lorenzo and I believe in commitment. We’re quite classic like that. We’ve got the license, hence the rumors that we’d already got married. So hopefully it will happen in 2010. When it does, it will be very low-key.”

From the way Jacobs spoke of business at Louis Vuitton, I would hope that the pair change their mind and make their big day an extravagant one—they seem to be the only company weathering this financial storm.

“In terms of what’s selling at Louis Vuitton, the recession hasn’t changed anything… our sales are up and I haven’t noticed that people’s tastes have got more subdued. There’s this huge cult following of almost crazy people at Vuitton who just want whatever they buy to be exclusive.”

I can’t wait to see their adorable wedding pictures (or what they’d wear for that matter)!
