Tom Ford Moves Forward With Womenswear Plans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women,
Upon completing his foray into film, Tom Ford is now venturing into womenswear.
The designer has reportedly started recruiting accessories specialists and is putting together a design team for a return to the ladies clothing market, his first foray into the area under his own name. Tom confirmed his intentions to move back toward womenswear last year, saying in October, “Financing is extremely expensive right now, so if we find financing in the right situation we’ll be able to start a women’s collection soon. If we don’t, we may have to wait a while.”
He warned, however, the project would take over a year to complete, adding, “It will take me 18 months when I start, because I have to hire the team, find the factories, put everything together and then get the stores ready so there’s a place for these clothes.”
Meanwhile, Tom - who has previously worked for Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent - dressed Oscars hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin for last night’s ceremony, which included a costume changed for Alec from a single-breasted tuxedo with grosgrain peak lapels, white pique front shirts and black grosgrain cummerbunds and bow ties to a navy blue, single-breasted tuxedo with a grosgrain peak lapel.
Colin Firth - who starred in Tom’s directorial debut film A Single Man for which he was nominated for the Best Actor award - was also dressed by the designer at the Oscars.

No Fashion Regrets for Eva Green
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
Not that she’s been much of a fashion police target, Eva Green never regrets an outfit.
The Casino Royale actress - who is known for her sexy dress sense - doesn’t believe in worrying about clothes she has previously worn as “it’s simply not worth it.” Discussing her wardrobe and style, Eva said, “I never regret anything I wear - it’s simply not worth it. When I don’t know what to wear, I put on skinny black jeans and an oversized cashmere jumper - preferably from Donna Karen. If I can face it, I’ll put on heels.”
While she loves clothes, her favorite it is a black leather Dior bag and never leaves home without it. She added, “It has my initials on it which makes it extra special. I take it everywhere; it’s my Mary Poppins bag.”
The 29-year-old beauty also revealed Marlene Dietrich is her style icon: “She was so feminine but at the same time, still strong. I’m crazy about that everyday 30s look. I loved all the costumes in my new film Cracks. I wore beautiful high-waisted trouser suits, headscarves and gorgeous printed silks. The costume designer Alison Byrne is a genius.”
Catwalks May Lose Lily Cole to the Big Screen
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Rumors,
Lily Cole is fed up of modeling.
The 21-year-old beauty wants to veer away from the fashion and beauty industry and instead plans to spend the rest of her working days focusing on her acting career.
“I’d like to act and not really model so much. I wouldn’t want to treat acting as a convenient thing to do now and again. I’ve been doing modeling for years and I feel like I’ve taken out of it what I need to and I’m ready for new things.”

Dolce and Gabbana Say Working on Nine Was a Dream
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors,
Dolce and Gabbana admit starring in Nine was a “dream come true.”
Prestigious fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana - who make a brief appearance in the romantic musical movie - were desperate to work on the project inspired by Italian firm director Federico Fellini because he is a movie “maestro.”
“We wanted so much to be part of this project! Federico Fellini has always been one of our greatest sources of inspiration, one of the most important Italian directors. For us, being part of a movie inspired by the work of the maestro is like a dream come true.”
Despite only appearing on-screen for a short while, the designing duo were thrilled to work on the celebrity-filled film, which stars Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Fergie, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren and Daniel Day-Lewis.
They added to People, “Rob Marshall did an amazing work and the cast is amazing! He was able to put together the most beautiful and talented actresses of various generations and great actors. We couldn’t be more happy to be chosen, even if for a short appearance.”
Twilight Boosts Pale Make-Up Sales
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, News, Sales,
Twi-hards are having an effect on the beauty industry now, having set a new trend for pale make-up.
Sales of pale foundation have reportedly shot through the roof since the release of the latest film The Twilight Saga: New Moon and some cosmetic companies claim they’ve seen a 200 per cent rise in customers buying pale make-up. According to the online beauty shop FeelUnique.com, their current best-selling product is a pale pink illuminating powder by Bare Escentuals called Mineral Veil. L’Oreal have also seen their True Match powder in Rose Ivory increase in sales by 133 per cent.
Pale skin - which is now deemed a must-have look - has been seen on the face of celebrities in recent months. Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts recently launched a make-up range for paler skin. She said she’d created her range because she knew how difficult it could be to find the right sort of look with the products already out there.
“For years I felt like the ugly one in Girls Aloud. I was tall, skinny, with red hair and the whitest skin you’ve ever seen - standing next to four of the most gorgeous girls in Britain. Hopefully I can help a lot of girls out there to look their best.”

Famed Mia Farrow Haircut Was a Mistake
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles, Rumors, Women,
Vidal Sassoon says Mia Farrow’s famous cropped haircut was done by mistake.
The world-famous hairdresser was flown to Los Angeles by filmmaker Roman Polanski, who was directing the actress in 1968 movie Rosemary’s Baby, and asked to give her a new look.
Mia, however, had had an argument with someone close to her and had taken the scissors to her hair, leaving Vidal with a difficult task.
He revealed, “I said, Mia, you’ve really ballsed it up. I’m going to have to go very short.” The pixie-like crop became one of the most sought-after looks in the world and millions of women copied Mia’s style.
Vidal also revealed that he was “impossible” to work with when he was younger because he was so obsessed with hair: “I was impossible. It was all hair, hair, hair. Ricci Burns (60s hairstylist and now a fashion designer) said that I was quite mad and impossible to work with.”

Christian Louboutin Goes Psycho
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Sales, Women, Footwear,
In honor of his new boutique on Robertson Boulevard, famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin wrote and directed a short film starring Elisa Sednaoui and Miss Robertson.
The film, titled Psycho-Logic, begins very much like a fashionable homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho; however, the latter part of the film brings to life an envisioning of what it would be like to experience in shoe heaven (I want to go!).
