Madonna’s Daughter Blogs for Material Girl Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Style runs in the family! Madonna‘s daughter has started her own fashion blog.
Lourdes, 13, helped her superstar mother create her new clothing line, The Material Girl Collection, and now she has taken to the internet to promote the line and says the clothes will reflect some of her personal taste.
“Helluuur thurrrr, I’m Lola and this is my first blog entry so it’s kind of like ummmm.. I’m just going to use this blog entry to tell y’all a little bit about myself. I am totally obsessive about 80’s shorts. You know the kind that makes your butt look kinda big, with a grunge-looking shirt tucked in. It’s kinda nerdy but I love it. And the 80’s are another huge obsession of mine, which is totally amazingly awesome because Material Girl. HELLO! It’s like 80’s themed, which pretty much rocks, so yeah (sic).”
Madonna has previously said their clothing range has been inspired by Lourdes’ likes and dislikes: “It is absolutely an extension of her taste. We like to combine a plaid or a flannel with a lace or leather with lace or rhinestones. So we mix and match textures and fabrics and elements that are both masculine and feminine.”
The collection - which will be launched in August - are for department store Macy’s and start from $12.

Dov Charney Denies No Uglies Policy, Will Answer Your Questions
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Health & Beauty, News, Rumors,
In light of a former (anonymous) American Apparel employee’s allegations that the hiring policy is heavily weighed by the attractiveness of the applicant, the international company has issued a statement denying such claims.
“American Apparel does not hire or retain applicants based on ‘beauty.’ Our main priority is finding people with a strong sense of style who can inspire customers as they make selections from our extensive line… It has never been the policy of American Apparel, as some blogs claim, to fire employees who are not “good looking” or any of the other accusations implied by the anonymous or unverified third party sources. The company legitimately reviews current photographs of job applicants and employees to consider their sense of style and the way in which they present themselves… This is a standard practice among fashion-forward retailers.
While they may call it “style,” I’m inclined to believe that it’s just another word for “beauty.” I mean, have you seen the hipsterbots at the store?
Moreover, the press statement addresses the topic of hiring process, but has made no mention of its irksomely precise grooming etiquette... If you’d like to talk to CEO Dov Charney about any of this, he’s made his phone number available to the public:

—Country-pop singer Taylor Swift strikes a pose on the cover of July’s Marie Claire. For once, she isn’t wearing a sparkling, glitter-happy dress.
—Those who have thought that women larger than size 6 can’t look good in a bathing suit have been put to shame: French Marie Claire is making huge waves with their June issue, which features plus-sized models in a swimsuit editorial.
—Apparently Miley Cyrus isn’t the only Disney star who needs lessons in stylish shoe walking. Vanessa Hudgens nearly took a fall from walking in her ankle boots.
—Fashion blogger BryanBoy alerted the internet and his Twitter followers about a Swedish threesome he was involved in. More proof that bloggers can have interesting and scandalous lives.
—Twilight actress and paparazzi target Kristen Stewart was seen promoting Eclipse in Seoul, South Korea with extra-long hair extensions. After her post-The Runaways mullet debacle, I’m relieved to see her do something to her hair for a change.
Quote of the Day: Christopher Kane on Bloggers
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,
“It’s a bit mad, isn’t it? It feels like it’s happened all of a sudden and at some shows this season the front row was just all bloggers. I think it will die down though, and people know what they are doing. No one who wants to read a serious review of a show is going to look at what a 14-year-old thinks. But it has become more critical; people can say what they want about anyone on a blog without consequences and that’s quite scary. There are real repercussions for a designer if a photo of something is leaked by a blog; it can be copied in a fortnight and that can really harm a business. You have to be much more careful now.”
- Fashion designer Christopher Kane talks about the emerging internet presence in the fashion industry.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Site Announcements,
James Read has launched a tanning website.
The bronzing favorite of stars including Lindsay Lohan, Lady Gaga and Rosie Huntington-Whitely has teamed up with an unknown writer for The Tantalist.com, a site dedicated to showcasing people with perfect fake tans.
Explaining the site, the creator wrote, “I’ve always said that a tan - the fake and self tan variety, not the sun induced sort - is the perfect fashion accessory and like any other, changes with the seasons. And here’s my proof… Fab-looking people with tans who, believe it or not, I find on the streets! I spot, stop and snap them, all for your enjoyment and enlightenment. I’ll be posting my tips and comments on these (and also on some of my celebrity friends) and would be thrilled if you’d add yours.”
As well as posting images, James is also sharing his tanning tips and there is even a section dedicated to nail varnish colours that perfectly complement a bronzed glow.

Scottish designer Christopher Kane actually wants to give you the time of day! In an effort to gauge interest in the unveiling of his Topshop line due this Fall, Kane will be answering questions on their blog.
While this isn’t the first time that he has collaborated with Topshop, this will be his largest at 39 pieces (shoes and bags, too!).
“This is more than a capsule collection. It’s proper: with bags, shoes, knitwear and dresses. It’s nothing like any other work I’ve done in the past. Everything is a bit ‘wow.’ But If I tell you any more, I’ll be giving the theme away,” the designer explained to Grazia‘s Melanie Rickey.
If you’ve got anything about him that’s picking your brain, now’s the time to ask! Post up your questions on Topshop’s blog before this Wednesday, June 17th. Hurry and don’t waste space with incompetent questions!
