Naomi Campbell Violently Attacked
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News,
Naomi Campbell suffered a torn ligament in her leg after she was violently attacked and robbed on a Paris street.
The British supermodel was recently sporting a cast on her leg for a mystery injury and it has now been revealed she was set upon by a group of thugs after she tried to hail a cab in the French capital during the incident last month.
"It was terrifying. Naomi believes the assailant had been watching her, casing her out, and waited for a moment to strike when she was alone. She was attacked in the street as she hailed a cab, and robbed. Her leg was injured as she was violently pushed to the ground. She was understandably very upset and shaken up," a source told The New York Post.
It is not known what the thugs stole from her, but it's believed they were targeting the expensive jewelry she may have been wearing. The 42-year-old beauty's billionaire boyfriend, Vladimir Doronin, immediately flew her by private jet to Vail, Colorado, where she was treated by J. Richard Steadman, one of the top orthopaedic surgeons in the world. Naomi has been using a wheelchair and crutches to get around following the attack, and Vladimir has upped security around her.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Model/designer Victoria Beckham is back to work after giving birth to her daughter, Harper.
Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld photographed the former pop singer in the famed Parisian home of Coco Chanel. In a photo with the German designer himself, the mother of four gives a fierce pose in a Lanvin sweater paired with underwear by Eres and Giuseppe Zanotti boots. In another (seen after the jump), she wears the underwear paired with a white Fendi shirt and Sergio Rossi stilettos.
Beckham could hardly contain her excitement as she shared on Twitter, "I am thrilled to shoot with Karl. I have so much respect for him and I find him so inspiring. To shoot in Coco Chanel's apartment in the clothes of the house of Chanel is really a dream come true."
Lagerfeld appeared to have mutual admiration for the 38 year-old: "Victoria has an innate sense of style. She knows what she likes, and knows what is good for her."
The photos are set to appear in an upcoming issue of Elle France.

Fashion Police: Lady Gaga as a Cartoon Character

While Lady Gaga had seemed to tone down her outrageous looks lately, the pop singer stepped out in Paris looking far from normal and more like she came straight out of a children's puppet show.
Whether it's to hide her recent weight gain, to comment on it, or to offset her current relatively normal hair style, the "Marry the Night" singer was quite easy to spot in the French capital. Pairing her Snuggie-like dress with electric blue platforms and gag-like shades, is she paving the path for a future trend or is this just pure shock factor?
(Check out more questionable fashion looks here.)

Salma Hayek Dresses for Husband
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Salma Hayek likes to dress up for her husband. The Grown Ups star - who married French billionaire François-Henri Pinault in 2009 - enjoys trying out new looks in a bid to catch her other half's eye.
"If you're in love with someone, you always want to conquer them anew. Even if we don't go out, I like to look nice for him. He inspires me. There are men who don't notice what you're wearing, and that's cool. But when you make an effort, François appreciates it so much," she said.
The couple now live in Paris with their four-year-old daughter Valentina, although Salma admits she is regularly blown away by the standards of style on the French capital.
"It's nuts, how good the people look. Nobody's overweight, everybody's well dressed, no tennis shoes - somehow, even though they walk all over the place, everyone manages to wear real shoes, nice shoes," she told Lucky magazine.

Russia Inspired Chanel Couture
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld took his inspiration from Russia for the Chanel Couture show in Paris yesterday.
Models walked down a specially created runway at the Grand Palais in the French capital - walking out of a lion holding a giant pearl - in shades of maroon, brown, white and pink.
Although not a huge departure from what Chanel is known for - classical, flattering cuts in various tweeds - it was a solid collection, with fur-trimmed collars and cuffs teamed with mid-calf boots and seeming inspiration taken from Faberge eggs. Waistlines were kept high and shoulders boxy, with arms billowing, and as the show progressed, sequins and ornate detailing came in abundance.
The final model to walk down the runway was Karl Lagerfeld’s male model of the moment Baptiste Giabiconi, who donned a lion’s head mask while wearing the style of suit favored by the German-born designer - a black trouser and blazer combination worn with a high-necked white shirt.
Others to put on shows yesterday include Givenchy, who provided a decadent and glamorous collection and Giorgio Armani Prive, who worked a serious and sexy business-like chic.
Vanessa Paradis Inspired By Other French People
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
The new face of Chanel handbags, Vanessa Paradis, says French women inspire each other to be stylish.
The actress - who was raised in the suburbs of Paris - doesn’t think France’s capital is any more fashionable than other cities, it’s just that their way of life makes their clothes more accessible.
“I don’t think French women have more style. Maybe it’s because Paris is a city where you walk in. In America, everyone drives, and you cannot see what anyone is wearing when they are locked in a car. Here, everyone checks out each other. We communicate with clothes here more and, as a result, inspire one another.”
The 37-year-old beauty, who is a favorite of Karl Lagerfeld, also revealed how she has given up smoking to help stop the ageing process: “I quit smoking roll-ups, which helps enormously; that’s it. I do drink lots of water, though I like wine - Bordeaux.”
Items Du Jour: Olsens Look to London, Zac Looks to Paris, and Rodarte on Daytime TV

- At last night’s big Belvedere Pink Grapefruit event in New York, Ashley Olsen revealed that a certain city across the pond will be the inspiration for the pair’s next Olsenboye collection. That’s nice and all, but I’d really appreciate if they’d concentrate on getting the line out of JCPenney.
- While it may not be London who calls for Zac Posen, Paris has caught the American designer’s eye. Posen, who has been unhappy with how New York critics have treated him during fashion week debuts, says that he wants to show in the city of love because “they understand my clothes.”
- With a slew of dark looks lately, Lady Gaga performed at the Rainforest Fund’s 21st Birthday Celebration in an all-white custom Calvin Klein creation. She even wore a light gray wig to match!
- As her younger sister Georgia Jagger steams up the latest Chanel ads, model Elizabeth Jagger is contemplating full-on nude spreads now that she’s getting older. Has she seen Helena Christensen and Claudia Schiffer lately?
- There’s a new bag in town, and it’s called the Schitbag. If only I made these things up. I’m almost tempted to buy it simply to tout the fact that I have a fashionable schitbag.

Judging by her (random) appearance at Armani Privé‘s A/W ‘09/‘10 show, it looks as if the Transformers bombshell has moved on to burlesque dancer/model Dita Von Teese.
