Karl Lagerfeld Models With a Washing Machine
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Models, News, Sales,
To me, Karl Lagerfeld can do no wrong. Case in point: he makes consumers want to buy washing machines.
The creative director of Chanel recently lent his modeling skills to French mail-order company 3 Suisses for their catalogue. He said of posing with the unconventional prop, “It is so chic and pretty. I would like to have one—not to wash clothes but to put in my dressing room to hold my dirty laundry.”
He also spoke of world domination…

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
- With the passing of Liberty of London for Target, it almost seemed like we would be out of fun summer prints for awhile. Fear not! FabSugar has a sneak peek at Target’s upcoming Pure Energy line.
- Finally—a complete head-to-toe look at Lara Stone’s Givenchy wedding dress is out (and to the right). As if we couldn’t envy her any more…
- Despite her touting the fact that she’s all-natural, posing without makeup and nixing Photoshop edits, Kim Kardashian recently admitted to getting Botox injections. She’s 29!
- Tennis superstar Venus Williams heats up the court and adds a little burlesque flair with her lacy black-and-red outfit. Trashy or classy?
- Even though she supposedly hates red carpets, Lady Gaga showed up to the Cannes premiere for Tender Son: The Frankenstein Project, wearing, well, a Frankenstein-esque number. Are you surprised?
Marc Jacobs Loves Sexual Connotations
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Fashion designer (and now occasional model) Marc Jacobs loves how the name of his new fragrance has a “sexual connotation.”
The designer is to release his latest men’s scent, entitled Bang, in July and is a huge fan of its moniker because it sounds so intimate and has different meanings.
“The name came to me first. We had been approached by Coty to do another men’s scent - we did one many years ago - and I was in the gym, and the name Bang came to me. As a word, it has so many connotations, including a sexual connotation. And I loved the immediacy and the sound of the word. For me, fragrance is always a multilayered process - Bang was the catalyst for how this fragrance came to be. You’re drawn to try it, to experience it.”
Jacobs appears almost naked in the advertising campaign for the fragrance and although he was initially reluctant to strip off, he was persuaded to do so by his business partner Robert Duffy:

Jil Sander Signs Miranda Kerr For Next Campaign
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Miranda Kerr is to be the new face of Jil Sander.
The Victoria’s Secret model - who is dating Orlando Bloom - says she is keen to do a “variety” of work within her career and has recently shot a campaign for the minimalist German fashion designer.
“It’s nice to have variety in my work. I don’t ever want to feel pigeon-holed. I still have more coming out this year - a Jil Sander campaign.”
The 27-year-old Australian beauty - who has already made runway appearances for Prada and Balenciaga, taken part in an avant-garde shoot for V Mag and a cover for i-D - is thought to have shot the campaign for this autumn.
Miranda - who wore Jil Sander to last year’s Metropolitan Costume Institute Gala in New York - has previously spoken about how she tries to stay in shape for her career but does indulge in the calorific treat on occasions: “I do eat healthily and am careful with my diet but not all the time. There are times when you want that piece of fried chicken. That’s my big weakness and there’s nothing wrong with that. Everything in moderation, that’s the trick.”
Tyra Banks Returns to High Fashion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Despite her successful television career, Tyra Banks has caught the modeling bug and is returning to her past career.
The 36-year-old has gone back to her first agency, IMG, but this time is aligning the firm with her own company, Bankable Enterprises. The America’s Next Top Model host said, “The last time I was with IMG, I was set on taking on the modeling world in the high fashion and commercial sectors. Now I’m dreaming even bigger but this time for my company as well. Aligning myself with brands that I believe in, and helping them achieve the kind of success they’re looking for, helps all of us as we grow our businesses.”
As part of the new deal, Tyra will participate in commercial endorsements and other fashion related opportunities. IMG’s Chairman and CEO Ted Forstmann added, “Tyra is a global brand and we are happy to welcome her back to the IMG family.”
Tyra is also soon to bring out her first novel, Modelland, which she promises will be “inspired by some of the models I’ve known - both nice and ‘ice.’”
Karl Lagerfeld Loves Georgia May Jagger
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Karl Lagerfeld says Georgia Jagger is the perfect choice to model Chanel.
The creative director of the renowned fashion house was hugely impressed when the 18-year-old rising catwalk star modeled Chanel‘s Cruise 2010 Saint-Tropez collection in Cannes last week and thinks it is the start of successful working union.
He told Vogue UK, “Miss Jagger is the modern girl. She is the girl of today. There is a total identification between her and the clothes. They could be her clothes. She is totally at home in Chanel. And that fits in the pattern of what Saint-Tropez can represent, what it is not really and yet what it can inspire.”
Georgia - the daughter of Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger and former model Jerry Hall - walked the catwalk in front of a star-studded audience, which included Vanessa Paradis, Diane Kruger and Lady Amanda Harlech.
The British Model of the Year also appears in the lookbook for the new collection.
Tyra Pays Tribute to Alexander McQueen
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Tyra Banks took time out of her America’s Next Top Model schedule to pay homage to the late Alexander McQueen by way of her own photo shoot.
“I wanted to do a photo shoot decked out in H2T McQueen. McQueen was considered royalty in the fashion community. I feel like a queen whenever I wear his clothes (especially the stunning blue dress I wore for this shoot)!... I would like to think that he would have loved these photos.”
Although she looks fabulous, I can’t say that it looks like she tried much, considering it looks more like a look book than a tribute photo shoot for a man who designed such dramatic, gorgeous creations. Check out the photos after the jump and decide for yourself. If not for Tyra, check out Andre Leon Talley’s guest appearance as her king!

Items Du Jour: Miley Makes a Match, Janet Gets Short, and Angels Get Ads
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors, Sales,
- While her Wal-Mart lines aren’t faring well in sales, Miley Cyrus isn’t looking too worried these days, as she flashes her leopard print bra for the public while picking up some grub. While the matching prints are a bit tacky, it’s nice to see that she’s actually wearing a bra.
- Janet Jackson was spotted in London yesterday, having chopped off her locks. While I was never a fan of the Amber Rose trend, I can’t say that I’m hating Jackson’s look!
- I love Michelle Williams and I love Chanel, but when the pair were together for the after party of her film Blue Valentine‘s premiere, I fell out of love for what looked like Grandma’s satin bed sheet vengeance. Her new short hair style is killer, but not with the plain fabric wrap.
- Think that you know everything about your favorite supermodels? Try taking this fab quiz to test your knowledge about their humble beginnings.
- Kate Moss have some fairly interesting ideas, but I do have to give it to her for innovation. The Topshop designer attended the unveiling of her latest collection in one of her own pieces, but she wore it backwards! She has this uncanny ability to wear anything so well that I doubt that anyone would’ve known had it not been in her line.

Mischa Barton Modeling Bridal Wear
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Ever wonder what happened to Mischa Barton? Well, it appears as if she stopped picking her nose and ugly floral print shorts to model bridal wear!
The O.C. star seems to have ditched her acting career for the runway, showing up at Rosa Clara’s 2011 bridal show in Barcelona yesterday. Now that she’s a model, let’s hope that she can keep her incessant weight fluctuation down and avoid any mysterious dental issues that caused her those puffy cheeks!
