VIDEO: Emma Watson Models for People Tree
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Models, Videos,
Emma Watson continues to front the People Tree brand, for which she acts as a creative advisor.
This time around, the Harry Potter star is showing off her extremely short hair, and she looks great! She may be selling me on the hair, but I’m not so sure if these summertime dresses would be right for the upcoming cold season. The brand does get major bonus points for being fair-trade.

Olivia Palermo Signed as New Face of Mango
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
From a supporting friend
actress on The City, Olivia Palermo is moving her career up to modeling status as the new face of Mango. The 24-year-old beauty will star alongside model boyfriend Johannes Heubl in the campaign, which she admits was initially embarrassing to shoot.
“At first, it was really embarrassing - but then I remembered it was just him and I could be normal - so then it was really fun.”
However, she is unsure if the Spanish brand - which is also fronted by Scarlett Johansson and Poppy Delevigne - will show the shoot internationally. “I don’t know about that but I’m really pleased to have done it.”
It is not yet clear if she will design her own range of clothes for the store as former models Penelope Cruz and Milla Jovovich have done. Earlier this month, Olivia confessed she has a whole host of ambitions in the fashion industry: “I want to act, model, try it all. Designing a collection will come in time.”
“I play around with different styles. I don’t think I can wear the clothes I wore when I was 20, now that I’m 24,” she explained.
VIDEO: Taylor Momsen Sort of Fronts John Galliano Perfume
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News, Videos,
Gossip Girl star-turned-stripper-rocker Taylor Momsen was hired by John Galliano to front his perfume campaign for Parlez-Moi D’Amour. This came as quite a shock, considering Galliano seems like he’d want someone with more class (and perhaps less eyeliner) to become the face of his high-end beauty product.
The first promo for the product (seen in the video above) for which Momsen was hired doesn’t actually have the actress in it. Well, not her face, anyway. Instead, the actress lends her vocal chords to a tune much softer than what her bandmates are used to playing. All in all, it’s not so bad, but who would honestly know that it’s her? Seems like some wasted money on Galliano’s part.

Julia Roberts to Sign $50 Million Lancome Deal
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Rumors,
Julia Roberts is set to sign a $50 million deal with Lancome.
The Eat, Pray, Love actress was named as the face of the luxury beauty brand in January and she has proved so popular that she is on the verge of agreeing a new five-year deal.
“Lancome have secured Julia for five more years. She’s been credited with making Lancome an even bigger success since she came on board. They’ve made profits of $100 million since she joined and they’re delighted with her,” a close source revealed.
After it was announced she was the firm’s new face, 42-year-old Julia admitted it had been a long-running “dream” of hers to front a beauty campaign for them: “It’s kind of like every girl’s dream, really. To be 42 and have three kids and be a working mom, it’s a great moment to be asked to do this and to be able to do it.”
Lancome’s president Yousef Nabi also revealed the award-winning actress was serious about working closely with the brand. “Julia really wants to be involved in the development of products,” he told WWD.

Emma Watson has fronted the new advertising campaign for People Tree.
The Harry Potter star - who first joined forces with the ethical clothing company when she designed a collection for them last year - revealed the line has expanded and now includes dresses, skirts and shirts made from hand-woven Fair Trade brushed fabric.
“Although I wasn’t centrally involved in the design of this collection, I had great fun in helping People Tree select some gorgeous Fair Trade textiles, such as a dogtooth hand-woven check, cable knits, and the first Fair Trade hand-woven brushed checked fabric, which has been made into easy tulip skirts, dresses and shirts. There are even a few party dresses, such as the little black satin tulip dress which can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion.”

Madonna Directs Miu Miu Campaign
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Videos,
Madonna has directed Miu Miu‘s Fall/Winter 2010 campaign film.
The singer - who has also worked on a clothing line entitled Material Girl with her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes - is said to have gone to the set of the video to meet with photographers Mert Atlas and Marcus Pigott, but ended up directing the shoot instead.
“We were supposed to shoot a video, so Madonna said she wanted to direct it. They said she could do it but they weren’t going to pay her and she started laughing. She put on her iPod and taught us moves and we shot the video for two hours,” said model Ginta Lapina.
Ginta, along with fellow models Lindsey Wixson, Daphne Groeneveld and Siri Tollerod, are all seen dancing to heavy base music in front of strobe lights while wearing Miu Miu’s coveted embellished dresses teamed with kitten heels and patent handbags. Check out the video after the jump!

Georgia Jagger is Yet Again the Face of Hudson Jeans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models, News, Jeans,
Georgia Jagger will front her third campaign for Hudson Jeans.
The 18-year-old model will appear in the Fall/Winter 2010 adverts for the company, which will see her wearing the denim pieces and little else.
“She is a true embodiment of the spirit of the Hudson brand. She doesn’t try, she’s just cool. She has that certain Je ne sais quoi. Her genetic DNA and our brand DNA are one in the same. Her mother Jerry Hall is American and her father is Mick Jagger and Hudson is born in California but rooted in London. She is also the ultimate Hudson girl - the personification of rock and roll meets glamour who embodies California freedom and British cool. She is effortlessly stylish, isn’t afraid to take risks, or to be herself while creating her own destiny,” said Ben Taverniti, creative director at Hudson Jeans.
The black-and-white shots for the campaign were taken by legendary fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti at Aldor Manor, an Italian Renaissance style house in New York. The new images showcase Hudson’s key styles for the season, and feature designs from its Classic, Custom, Capsule and Collection lines.
Crystal Renn Blasts Airbrushing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorials, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Plus-size supermodel Crystal Renn was horrified after bosses airbrushed 30lbs off her frame for a campaign poster.
Crystal, who is a size 10, says the pictures for the Fashion for Passion advertisements no longer look like her because her appearance has been altered so much.
“They brushed about 30lbs off my body. I sat there in silence for so long when I saw the pictures. I couldn’t believe what they’d done. It didn’t look like me. Don’t cut inches off my thighs. Don’t make me a size two when I’m a 10. It’s totally misleading. Fashion should be about a beautiful girl in beautiful clothes, not this size obsession. It’s dangerous. But if I have a zit or cellulite, take it off!”
