Items Du Jour: Britney Goes Platinum, Tyra’s War on “Plus-Size” Term

+ The Kardashian trio unveiled their latest clothing collection, which they launched in collaboration with British retailer Lipsy. Unsurprisingly, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe model off their floral, curve-hugging dresses in the adverts for the line (perhaps it's the only way they'd be able to sell it?). Major kudos that they're not of the typical sequined and glittery New Year's Eve dress fare, but at the same time, I can't imagine women flocking to the stores (or in Americans' cases, online store) for a summery frock when they're looking for something festive.

+ Britney Spears surprised fans with a Twitter photo showcasing her new hair color: platinum blonde. Love it or leave it?

+ Tyra Banks seems to have joined Jennifer Lawrence in the war against negative body image words, claiming that she refuses to utter "plus-size," instead opting for "fiercely real." Not sure how quickly the latter will catch on, but it's a start!

Pixie Lott Signs to Select Models

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,

Pixie Lott has signed with Select Models Management. The singer says she's thrilled to be working with such a prestigious agency because fashion has always played such an important role in her life.

"I've always loved experimenting with different looks and styles through work - it's one of the perks of the job! I've always been surrounded by clothes, and I love fashion and accessorising. I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't, which has helped to build my confidence and interest in fashion. Music and fashion go together well for me as they are both very expressive. I was asked to design a range for Lipsy, which was a great way to experiment more, and now I've got the opportunity to immerse myself in fashion at another level which is really exciting. Being with Select is like getting my first real fashion job after an apprenticeship!" said the 20-year-old beauty, who has her own clothing range with British high street store Lipsy.

Legendary model scout Tandy Anderson, of Select Model Management, told vogue.co.uk, "Pixie is stunning. She has presence, style, an infectious personality, and has already caught the eye of various designers and photographers, from Dolce & Gabbana to Ellen Von Unwerth. She's a talented and successful musician and we are confident that as a model, she can enjoy similar success."

Pixie Lott Launches New Collection

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,

Pixie Lott launched her latest fashion collection with a star-studded party last night.

The singer has once again teamed up with British high street store Lipsy to create a Fall/Winter range and celebrated it with a bash at exclusive London restaurant Gilgamesh, where guests included Sugababes star Jade Ewen, The Saturdays singer Mollie King and TV presenter Konnie Huq.

“I just kind of say what pieces we need. For the rock range, I said ‘We need a leather jacket, we need a jumpsuit, we need an everyday dress.’ Then we sat together to discuss the details. I said we needed some studding, and stuff like that. I wear black mainly most of the time, and pins and stuff, and it’s rocky so I used that. But for the party range I brought in some colour as well and some bright prints, she said when speaking about the ideas behind the range, which comes in Pixie Rock and Pixie Party.

Pixie Lott Teams Up with Lipsy

Singer Pixie Lott has designed an exclusive fashion range which pays homage to her sense of style.

Lott has teamed up with British high street brand Lipsy to create a clothing collection, using her own unique look as the inspiration: “I have always been a big fan of Lipsy - I love what the brand stands for and I’m having great fun working with such a talented a creative team.”

The Pixie Collection has two distinct looks - Pixie Festival and Pixie Party - with both complimenting Lipsy’s sexy attitude. Vintage style cotton dresses, bleached denim, maxi dresses and fringed waistcoats make up Pixie Festival while Pixie Party consists of sexy chiffon layered dresses, oversized animal prints and studded vest dresses.

Jeremy Stakol, Lipsy’s CEO, said of the collaboration, “Pixie has string ideas about fashion, understands product and has her own unique style. She is exactly what Lipsy is all about in terms of fashion - we’re really pleased with the collection and confident it will be the top of every girl’s shopping list.”

The range will launch in the UK next month.
