No More Kate Moss for Topshop
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Sales,
Supermodel-turned-designer Kate Moss has ended her design collaboration with Topshop.
The Brit will complete her work with the brand when her Fall/Winter collection comes out in October, although both parties deny there is any bad feeling.
“It has been fantastic for us and fantastic for her but the designs take more and more time and she cannot do this full-time anymore,” Topshop boss Sir Philip Green told The Times newspaper.
Her upcoming collection with be her 14th for the brand, and it is believed she has earned $4.6 million from the ranges. Author and fashion lecturer David Shaw told the BBC, “Everyone was quite surprised it lasted so long. Topshop is notorious for quick change. It brings in brands and loses brands.”
In addition to designing for Topshop since 2007, she was also on hand to open up the store’s first New York outlet in 2009.

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!

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.

commercial domination, after all…

Nicole Richie Makes Handbags From Hats
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Talk about creative—Nicole Richie turns hats into handbags.
The reality star - who is currently promoting her House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate Fall/Winter 2010 fashion ranges - says she often gets inspired by seeing what other people are wearing and then giving items her own unique twist.
“I was walking around the other day and I saw this woman wearing this great hat and I thought actually that’d make a really good bag so we turned it upside down and now it’s a great looking bag.”
Nicole - who has two children, Harlow, two, and nine-month-old Sparrow with fiance Joel Madden - also revealed she has had to alter her dress sense since becoming a mother to make it practical yet still stylish: “I’m a busy working mother. I’m all for what’s comfortable but I don’t think people today make enough effort with what they wear. At the same time I don’t want to have to get out of bed early to decide what to put on. My jackets are my favorite part of my collection because you can just throw one on over jeans and a vest and it looks like you’ve made an effort.”
