See (Finally!) Taylor Momsen in John Galliano Commercial

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Videos,

Earlier this year, we got to hear Taylor Momsen (sort) of fronting a perfume commercial for John Galliano. Now, we actually get to see her in the ad.

Although we found it strange that she didn’t really appear in the first version, we’re kind of torn now. After watching both videos, let us know what you think. Do you like the Parlez-Moi d'Amour spot better when you’re focusing on her singing – or on her raccoon eyes?

VIDEO: Martin Scorcese Directs Chanel Ad

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News, Videos,

You know that a fashion house has staying power when it can enlist the directorial skills of an Oscar winner like Martin Scorcese. Such was the case with Chanel, who hired Scorcese to direct a commercial for its men’s fragrance, Bleu de Chanel.

While the French actor Gaspard Ulliel captivates most of my attention, I can’t help but compare it to David Lynch’s gig for Dior. With Lynch, at least you still saw his signature touch in the video. Scorcese’s, while much shorter in length, looked more like the typical run-of-the-mill fragrance spot. Even Frank Miller made an interesting take on Gucci’s perfume!

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.’”

Finally, something to get those Jessica Simpson commercials out of our heads—Katy Perry is to be the new face of an acne medication.

Adverts filmed by the stars will begin airing in the US next month before a worldwide release. Ben Van de Bunt, the company’s executive, said all of the representatives would be paid a significant amount of money.

VIDEO: Michael Bay Helms Victoria’s Secret Spot

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Models, Videos, Women,

I’ve just seen Megan Fox‘s future—and it involves far less than tank tops and shorts.

In this new spot for Victoria’s Secret, Transformers director Michael Bay asked a bevy of beauties to do far more “insane things” than he’s probably ever asked Fox to do. Play pool while kneeling on the table? (Ouch! Rug burns!) Walk through the desert while wearing black and heels? Stand in front of an explosion with very little protective clothing?

If Megan doesn’t start appreciating her boss soon, I’m sure there are plenty of other women who could easily do her job.

Hayden Christensen in Lacoste Challenge Commercial

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities,

Jumper‘s Hayden Christensen may good at leaping through time, but he’s also quite adept at grasping flying objects.

Of course, the design of Lacoste’s new fragrance - Lacoste Challenge - probably didn’t hurt. The company, which is widely known for its line of tennis shirts, created a bottle with a racket handle-esque grip.

Christensen’s next project - New York, I Love You - is due out on October 16.
