Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, News,
—After 7 years at the French fashion house, Jean Paul Gaultier will be leaving Hermès to concentrate on his own label. His last collection will be the Spring/Summer 2011 range scheduled to debut this October at Paris Fashion Week.
—If anyone can bring the fanny pack back, it’s Rihanna. The print-happy R&B singer was spotted in Ireland sporting a leopard Dolce & Gabbana bag around her waist. Sightseeing in style!
—After a year of everyone chasing down Olivier Theyskens following his departure from Nina Ricci, the designer is finally coming out with his first project. Theyskens is set to design a capsule collection for Theory, scheduled to appear in their Spring/Summer 2011 range.
—Kelly Osbourne has opted for a new hair color and admits that she’s become an exercise addict, going to the gym even when she doesn’t feel well!
—Kristen Stewart graces the cover for UK Elle looking… awkward. Not only does her face look strained, but her pose is slightly contorted (in a bad way). Twi-hards really ought to stop gobbling up these magazines; I’m rather tired of seeing her on fashion magazines.

Jessica Simpson Smells Provocative
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News, Sales,
Jessica Simpson‘s new fragrance is “provocative.”
The singer-and-actress is releasing her third scent, entitled Fancy Nights, and says it is the perfect perfume to wear on an evening out: “It is a deeper, richer scent - more provocative.”
The spicy scent includes warm notes of bergamot and Egyptian papyrus blended with Indonesian patchouli, Bulgarian red rose and night-blooming jasmine, and Jessica believes it showcases a different side to her personality. She told People, “A fragrance can lead you deeper into a mood. Fancy Nights gives me the chance to express a more romantic side of my personality.”
The 29-year-old beauty’s last fragrance, Fancy Love, was inspired by being in a romantic relationship. Vince Camuto - CEO and founder of the Camuto Group, which holds the global license for all Jessica’s brands - said, “Jessica loves the feeling of being in love, she is a romantic girl. The fragrance was inspired by love. And she’s inspired by love.”
While she was dating ex-boyfriend Tony Romo - whom she split with last year - Jessica revealed she wanted to pay tribute to her relationship by launching a perfume: “Romance has never been more important to me so I wanted to celebrate that special feeling with this new fragrance.”
Jessica’s debut scent, Fancy, was released in 2008.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities,
Although Kim Kardashian recently debuted her self-titled perfume, she is already planning a new scent. This time around, she may co-design it with boyfriend Reggie Bush.
“Reggie and I have talked about doing a fragrance together - something that is kind of unisex,” Kardashian revealed.
However, when asked which of her scents Reggie prefers, the 29-year-old said: “He just likes my natural sexiness. He likes my natural scent.”
Kim, who wore a black PVC dress to her fragrance launch, reprised the look later in the week when she donned a black PVC corset over a grey dress to launch a collection designed by sisters Kourtney and Khloe for fashion chain bebe. “Heading to the bebe show! Can’t wait for u guys to see this hoodie dress w/ leather corset I have on! Dope! (sic)” she tweeted.
The range, which is available this month in bebe stores in the U.S, consists of basic jerseys, fitted blazers and leather separates.

Step aside, Camilla Belle—there’s a new princess in town.
With a campaign titled “Born to Rule,” it’s no wonder that Vera Wang chose the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet to star in the ads, promoting the designer’s Princess fragrance.
Sitting atop some lush-looking pillows with an exuberant butterfly crown, Zoe fits the part perfectly. If you want to smell like a princess, you can purchase the perfume at an any department store nationwide.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Sales,

Demi Moore Fronts Fragrance Campaign
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News, Sales,
Perfume campaigns are still all the rage (just ask Hayden Christensen, Enrique Iglesias, and Justin Timberlake!), and Demi Moore is hopping right onto that trend, fronting the ad campaign for Helena Rubinstein’s latest fragrance.
While she doesn’t necessary fit the title of the alluring perfume, “All You’ve Ever Wanted” (I mean, ever since she got hitched, does anyone care?), Moore fits perfectly in the photo. Well, if you don’t count that awkward arm holding the bottle. And who’s that weird guy by her neck? Where’s Ashton!

Naomi, Claudia, and Eva Smell and Look Good
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Approaching the age of 40 doesn’t stop supermodels Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, and Claudia Schiffer from looking fabulous.
The trio showed up to Milan Fashion Week to promote the Dolce & Gabbana Perfumes Collection, for which they had previously appeared in the D&G Anthology ad campaign.
Turns out that the folks at Dolce & Gabbana went for an androgynous theme—all five scents are not gender specific. In fact, each of them are named after Tarot cards and represented by a different model.
“We chose Claudia, Naomi, and Eva for the iconic value they have in the minds of everybody,” Domenico Dolce said.
“They are icons, not just for young women but older women too. Sometimes they are better known than actresses. People need to create icons, to see people they recognize.” Stefano Gabbana added. I couldn’t agree with them more!

Kate Moss Saved Money on Make-Up
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors, Women,
Apparently make-up artists need to save money, too—Kate Moss wore only moisturizer for a Calvin Klein photo shoot to save money.
Renowned makeup artist Kay Montano has revealed that she only used a lightweight base on the supermodel when preparing her skin for a perfume campaign in the late ‘90s because she had been urged to be frugal by bosses.
“Yes, the recession came and after that fashion and beauty became rather more pared down. One of my first jobs after moving to New York was to make up Kate Moss for the Calvin Klein Obsession fragrance campaign, and I just used moisturizer. She looked absolutely perfect.”
Kay, who has worked on London Fashion Week since it began 25 years ago, made a name for herself as the woman behind the dramatic make-up of the ‘80s. The British beauty expert said that her trademark smokey eyes were inspired by many of the decade’s biggest stars.
“My icons were women like Debbie Harry, make-up artist Barbara Daly—who did all of the Stanley Kubrik films—Jerry Hall and a makeup artist called Yvonne Gold. Yvonne had big, blonde dreadlocks and worked with Vivienne Westwood and her partner Malcolm McLaren who at the time had a new-wave band Bow Wow Wow. A signature technique of hers was to use gold paint over the Cupid’s bow, which makeup artist Pat McGrath uses a lot now.”
