Vivienne Westwood Picks on Duchess Catherine

Duchess Catherine can't seem to please anyone in the fashion world.
First Matthew Williamson slammed the future queen - known at the time by her maiden name Kate Middleton - on her style, and now Vivienne Westwood is chastising the royal for not recycling her clothes.
"I don't have any advice for her, [although] I think it would be great if she wore the same clothes over and again, because that's very good for the environment and it would send out a very nice message. If you're going to all that trouble to get an outfit that suits you, then you should keep on wearing it. I mean you don't have to have a red outfit one day and then something almost the same in blue the next," the veteran designer said at London Fashion Week.
While it's humorous that Westwood - who herself puts out a new collection of clothes at least twice a year - called Duchess Catherine out for not recycling her clothes, Fashion Police correspondant Kelly Osbourne blasted her about re-wearing her clothes a couple years back!

Duchess Catherine Returns Kim’s Clothes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Duchess Catherine Middleton returned clothes sent to her by Kim Kardashian. The British royal is known for championing high street as well as designer fashion, but didn't accept a package sent by the reality TV star and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney from their new Dorothy Perkins range.
"Kate is hardly going to turn up for an event with the queen in a cheap leopard-print miniskirt or gold sequined jacket," a source said.
Kim was also said to be keen to meet with Catherine while she was recently in London, inviting her for tea. "The Kardashians want to be as big in the UK as they are in America, and think associating themselves with the Royals, especially Kate, will help them achieve that. She hoped Kate might be seen wearing one of the designs out in public, which would give their fashion credentials a huge boost," the source said.

Duchess Catherine Designed Own Dress
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Britain's Duchess Catherine designs some of her own clothes. The duchess wore a yellow broderie anglaise sundress on her recent South Pacific tour, and it has now emerged it was a piece specially-commissioned by Queen Elizabeth's tailors, based on the royal's own ideas.
"This dress was a piece commissioned by Kate. She likes to have a few pieces that are one-offs and that she has had some input in, so she asked the queen's tailors for some help. They worked on it together after she went to them with ideas of color, fabric and style," a source told Grazia.

Pippa Middleton Upset by Karl Lagerfeld Comments
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Pippa Middleton is "devastated" by Karl Lagerfeld's cruel taunts about her looks.
The legendary Chanel designer caused controversy last week when he said the party planner - the younger sister of Britain's Duchess Catherine - should "hide her face," but friends of the brunette beauty have advised her to retain a dignified silence. "Pippa's devastated by Karl's cruel comments - she's always been confident about her looks. But she doesn't want to retaliate and start a war of words. Her friends have tried to make her laugh about it as Karl is hardly a supermodel himself," a source said.

Roland Mouret Thrilled With Royal Design
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
The French fashion designer believes he did "quite well" to come up with the brunette royal's most daring gown to date, a full-length cream evening dress featuring a front split, which she wore to a dinner at luxury hotel Claridge's in London's Mayfair last month.
"I think it was quite fantastic that there was a split up the front. That picture of a woman when you catch a little of the leg, that's what you want to see. It's that notion of privacy. It's something that should be for her husband and she just shows a glimpse of it and I think that is one of the more amazing moments of life. You feel happy when you see that. It was not too much. It was with a lot of respect. Yes, I think I did... quite well."

Donatella Versace Wants to See the Queen in Leather
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Donatella Versace wants to dress Queen Elizabeth in leather. The fashion designer would love to work with the 86-year-old British monarch by updating her look and giving her something she's never seen in.
"If I could dress anyone I'd like to dress the queen - she can handle anything. I'd put her in black - she never wears black - and add a little leather, maybe. A little rock 'n' roll," she said.

Vivienne Westwood’s Diamond Jubilee Collection

Vivienne Westwood has created a new capsule collection to mark Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee. The fashion designer's latest offering, the Red Carpet Capsule Collection, has been inspired by gowns the monarch - who is celebrating her 60th year on the throne this year - has previously worn.
Vivienne - who met the queen in 1992 when she was honored with an OBE - has also paid homage to the iconic British flag, the Union Jack, in her latest creations. But instead of using the traditional blue, white and red color scheme of the iconic symbol, the designer has opted for a gold, silver and bronze style for her collection, which features corseted gowns created with silk satins, organza crepe and taffeta, as well as draped cocktail dresses.
Vivienne's latest pieces, which also include jeweled earrings, will be available from the end of May 2012.
"My clothes allow you to project your personality, and are quite theatrical in the sense that they are real clothes, well-designed, and they give you a chance to express yourself. They are also inviting people to respond to them and want to come and talk to you. You have a much more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes," she explained.
Nicki Minaj Wants to Raid the Queen’s Wardrobe
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities,
Nicki Minaj wants to raid the Queen's wardrobe. The 29-year-old "Starships" rapper - who is famed for her wild outfits and multi-colored wigs - says she would love to have a root through the English monarch's clothes rails and borrow a few key pieces.
"The Queen kind of seems like a fairytale character to me. I bet her closet is crazy, I'd love to go through it. I bet the dresses would fit me too - she's like a little, tiny ladybug," she said.
Explaining her obsession with pink-colored clothes, Nicki believes her fixation started in during her troubled childhood, which saw her father try to kill her mother by setting the house on fire: "When I was younger I didn't have much financially, like we couldn't afford a lot of stuff and I remember seeing little girls' rooms on TV and they'd all be pink. I didn't have my own room, I shared with my brother, so I would have this daydream and imagine that one day I could have my own room and it would all be pink, like Cinderella's. So I guess pink takes me back to that time and it just feels euphoric when I wear it. I love it."
Kate Moss Blasted by Photographer Terry O’Neill
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Models,
Photographer Terry O'Neill claims Kate Moss isn't a real supermodel.
The 38-year-old model is regularly referred to as one of the most beautiful women in the world, but the famed snapper isn't impressed with her looks and says Kate isn't in the same league as the other supermodels of the 90s including Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford.
"The supermodels were the last great girls, and Kate Moss only just scraped in under the wire. I never rated her - Kate only endured because she was associated with those supermodels. I mean, Jean [Shrimpton] was the best of all the English models and sadly it ended there," he told the Daily Telegraph.
Terry also slated Britain's Duchess Catherine - formerly Kate Middleton - saying she is too thin. Asked if he would like to photograph the royal beauty, he said, "Nah - I don't think so because I don't fancy her. I mean that poor girl, Kate, what's going to happen to her? Hopefully William will be king and she'll be a new breed. And she does seem very together, but, well, [she's] too thin."
