Quote of the Day: British ‘Vogue’ Editor on Thin Models
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,
"People always say 'Why do you have thin models? That's not what real people look like,' but nobody really wants to see a real person looking like a real person on the cover of Vogue... I think Vogue is a magazine that's about fantasy to some extent and dreams, and an escape from real life... People don't want to buy a magazine like Vogue to see what they see when they look in the mirror. They can do that for free... I get fed up with having to deal with the question of why are models thin, that sort of bores me."
- Alexandra Shulman, editor of Vogue UK, explains why you won't be seeing any real-sized models under her reign of the fashion glossy.

L’Wren Scott Found Dead in New York Home
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Clothing, Style, Obituaries,
L'Wren Scott has been found dead in her apartment.
The 47-year-old celebrated fashion designer - who was dating Rolling Stones star Mick Jagger - was found hanging from a scarf on a doorknob in her home in Manhattan, New York, earlier today, police told the New York Daily News newspaper.
The body is said to have been found by her assistant at her 200 11th Avenue address at around 10 o'clock this morning and although it's been claimed that police do not suspect foul play, the Medical Examiner's Office will determine the cause of death.
L'Wren has previously spoken out about her hate for being referred to simply as Mick Jagger's girlfriend as she wanted to be recognized for her own talents, although she often used the rocker as her muse. "I'm a fashion designer. I don't want to be defined as someone's girlfriend. You always wonder if people will pay attention to the hard work that goes into what you do. And when you're taking something on your own, it's your company, your investment - your life," she previously said. The former model designed all of her 70-year-old boyfriend's outfits for the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary tour.

Niall Horan is back with his ex-girlfriend Barbara Palvin.
The One Direction hunk, who split from the Victoria's Secret model in February after three months of dating, was spotted looking cozy with the brunette beauty at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on Tuesday night watching American boyband 5 Seconds Of Summer.
"Being either a working model or performer is incredibly difficult on a relationship. In either job you won't be in one place for more than a few days at a time. Add to that the fact Barbara lives in America and Niall's base is in London and you've got a logistical nightmare," a source said. "Barbara's a lovely girl, though. She's completely down to earth and not vain at all, which is what Niall finds so appealing."

Lupita Nyong'o used to pray for lighter skin.
The Kenyan actress received the Best Breakthrough Performance Award for her role in 12 Years A Slave at Essence's magazine's seventh annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon yesterday and accepted it with a speech telling how she overcame being "teased and taunted" for her "night-shaded skin."
"My one prayer to God, the miracle worker, was that I would wake up lighter-skinned. The morning would come and I would be so excited about seeing my new skin that I would refuse to look down at myself until I was in front of a mirror because I wanted to see my fair face first. And every day I experienced the same disappointment of being just as dark as I was the day before."

Jake Gyllenhaal Reunites with Alyssa Miller
Jake Gyllenhaal and Alyssa Miller are back together.
The End of Watch star, 33, ended his six-month relationship with the 24-year-old model in December after they struggled to cope with him relocating to Los Angeles from New York to shoot his upcoming film Nightcrawler, but they really missed each other.
"It has been less than two weeks so it is new again," a source said.
The couple were in regular contact throughout their time apart, and another insider said, "They were still talking during the break. When he was done with Nightcrawler he was spending a lot of time by himself and with his family over the holidays and he missed her.'"
Jake pulled the plug on his romance with the Sports Illustrated beauty before Christmas, as they could no longer handle having a long distance relationship. "[Jake] was very taken with [Miller], but I think their work definitely drew them apart. I know people are bummed, because many thought he had a chance this time," a source said at the time.
