Quote of the Day: Tom Ford on His Naked Interview

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News,

"I explained how when I come home I actually take off all my clothes, and I wear no clothes until I leave. I eat naked. I do everything completely naked. He said, 'That would make a great interview.' I said, 'Fine, we have to do it nude.' ... Anyway, we did the interview. The interviewer was straight, and I made it a point to desexualize the interview even though I was sitting with my legs wide open, completely naked. At the end of the interview, I put on a dressing gown and he put on his clothes, and I sat next to him on the sofa and said, 'Was that sexual?' He said, 'Absolutely not.' And I said, 'That’s because I didn’t make it sexual. Sexuality is in the eyes, it’s an expression, it’s in a look.' Then, all of a sudden, I looked at him in a very different way, and it made him very nervous."

-- Fashion designer Tom Ford on a very nontraditional interview he once had.

Charlie Le Mindu Sends Naked Models Down Runway

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News,

We’ve seen some bizarre runway looks over the past year. Now wigmaker and Lady Gaga favorite Charlie Le Mindu is sending his own fashion shock waves by sending his models down the catwalk in their birthday suits for his Spring/Summer 2011 line.

While nudity is nothing new to the fashion industry (heck, many times, it’s embraced!), there are usually clothes involved—sheer, in most cases. This Frenchman, however, clearly wanted to highlight the hat, purse, and platform boots the nude models wore.

Italy Deems Julianne Moore Ads Indecent

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Models, News, Jewelry,

For a city known for its Renaissance paintings that feature plenty of women wearing little clothing in a continent that seems to wonder why many Americans fear nudity, it may come as a shock to many that Venice, Italy has banned the above Bulgari ad, starring actress Julianne Moore from its scheduled billboard duties.

“An advertisement showing a nude woman on a divan is not appropriate for St Mark’s Square,” Mayor Giorgio Orsoni said.

While Moore may not have clothes on, the smiling, playful lion cubs seem to diffuse the expected sexual charge of the photo. That, of course, wasn’t enough for the folks who oversee what is posted around their city…

Daisy Lowe Could Care Less

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,

Daisy Lowe doesn’t care if her clothes offend anyone.

The 21-year-old model - daughter of Pearl Lowe and rocker Gavin Rossdale - likes to experiment with her look and enjoys wearing outfits which aren’t always to everyone’s taste. Daisy - who would happily wear a purple bra to dinner and mix vintage Victorian camisoles with high street pieces - said, “I thought the whole point was to have fun with clothes? Sorry if that offends anyone.”

As well as experimenting with her own look, Daisy and her friends also indulge in a bit of dressing up. She told Britain’s Vogue magazine, “Most of my friendships stem from high school. My friends and I like to play fairy games and dress up.”

The brunette beauty has previously posed nude on two occasions and says she’s has no regrets about it. She said, “The female form is a beautiful thing. People are like, ‘Oh, you get naked all the time.’ I got naked twice - just twice - and yes, maybe that’s twice too many, but I think that women’s bodies are great. I don’t want to do pornos! It’s a tasteful thing.”

Kim Kardashian Bares All For Bazaar

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,

Harper's Bazaar is now resorting to naked celebrities to sell its pages. Reality star Kim Kardashian bares all for the fashion magazine, which claims that the published photos have not been edited. "The message is embrace your curves and who you are..." says Kardashian of her public nudity. Judging by how gorgeous she and Britney look without Photoshop, I'm starting to think that these type of ads aren't making the general public feel better about themselves. Kim wasn't the only celebrity baring it all for the camera.

Helena Christensen Still Thinks of Grandma

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,

Helena Christensen was worried that her grandmother would die of shock when she posed nude.

The supermodel, who turns 41 on Christmas Day, stripped off for a racy photo shoot for Elle magazine but says she only agreed to it because she know the shots would be subtle.

“I have no problems with showing my body. I just wanted the nudity to be in that normal, subtle way because my grandmother is still alive and I want to keep her for another 15 years. I don’t want her to get a shock.”

Helena also says she would like to follow in the footsteps of fellow supermodel Kate Moss and launch her own clothing range: “Obviously, Kate has an exclusive style, so it’s a huge value she can pick the things she picks. I would be super-happy to have a big company behind me like that, who will trust your style and base whole collections on it. That’s the ultimate.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities,

And to think, Taylor Lautner was getting tired of being shirtless.

Christian Serratos might not be one of the big names from the Twilight series, but she’s going to be a lot more memorable now. (Maybe that was her point.)

The actress, who plays Angela in the adaptations, is just one of many stars who have stripped down for PETA’s famous “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign. Other celebrities who have contributed their bodies to the cause include Karina Smirnoff, Steve-O, Khloe Kardashian and Joanna Krupa.

In case you have a hard time

reading the message on the ad, here it is: “Animals killed for their fur are electrocuted, drowned, beaten and often skinned alive. Please don’t wear fur.”
