—Lady Gaga is reportedly set to star in her own autobiographical film, directed by Bryan Singer. Don’t act like you didn’t see that one coming.
—Steven Meisel looked to the Gulf oil spill for inspiration: his Italian Vogue editorial stars Kristen McMenamy, styled by Karl Templer. The fashion industry doesn’t always have to be vacuous…

Vanity Fair Fails to Credit Lady Gaga’s Stylist
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, News,
While fans and readers are ga ga over Lady Gaga‘s new Vanity Fair cover, one of her own was excluded from the magazine’s credits.
“thanks vanity fair for NOT crediting me in the story….VANITY UN-FAIR .....agrhhh!!!! (sic)” wrote stylist Nicola Formichetti on his Twitter page.
Will Gaga stick up for her monster? Let’s hope that Vanity Fair issues an apologetic statement—while Gaga receives an overwhelming amount of praise on her own, it’s nice to give credit when credit is due.
In the meantime, we can watch a behind-the-scenes shoot of the September cover, shot by Nick Knight (after the jump).

L’Wren Scott Proud of Statuesque Height
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models,
L’Wren Scott is grateful for her height.
The model-turned-fashion designer, who is dating Rolling Stones legend Sir Mick Jagger, says being 6ft 3in tall has taught her to be comfortable with her looks and not worry about what anyone is saying about her.
“I think that I have always had composure. I don’t think that you can be 6ft 3in and care if people talk about you. So I think, just from sheer stature, I developed a kind of shield early on.”
As well as modeling and fashion designing, L’Wren used to be a stylist to the stars and says it was a privilege to play a big part in someone’s fashion choices: “I always felt honored to be asked, that somebody trusted you to help them with their personal style.”
However, she knew that while she was doing it, she never gave up on her dream to become a designer, something she has now achieved: “It wasn’t really the fashion focus I wanted. So I kept shifting my focus closer and closer to my objective of being a designer.”
Items Du Jour: Gareth Pugh the DJ, Burton Unveils Resort Line, Bald Supermodels
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
—Fashion designer Gareth Pugh will appear at the Istanbul fashion-forward festival, Istancool, as a DJ: “I haven’t done it in ages so I’m definitely a bit rusty - I’m certainly not skilled at mixing- it’s all about the selection.”
—After giving birth to her son, model Jourdan Dunn has dodged work and the spotlight for some time now. In addition to being snapped up behind-the-scenes of an i-D shoot, rumor has it that the 20 year-old is to appear in this upcoming September issue of Vogue.
—Where’s Tyra’s hair advice when you need her? Supermodel Naomi Campbell was working a Mobil gas station when a hair stylist adjusted her hair, only to reveal a bald spot on the side of her head—and it doesn’t look like she was making a statement.
—Sarah Burton, new creative director of Alexander McQueen, unveiled her resort Spring/Summer 2011 collection, and thankfully, she has stayed true to the label’s nature.
Style Advisor Agyness Deyn
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Site Announcements,
Moving from the catwalk to behind-the-scenes, Agyness Deyn is become a style advisor.
The supermodel has teamed up with journalist Fiona Byrne to create website naag.com, which will give fashion tips and their take on the latest trends.
“We’re not shoving anything down your throat. We’re just saying ‘This is rad.’ We’re not saying ‘You have to like this,’” Deyn said.
The website has already had some big coups, with profiles of Mark Ronson and Juliette Lewis, who are both friendly with the 25-year-old beauty. “I think because we’re friends, they trust us and like what we’re doing,” Deyn said of their involvement.
However, their dream interview would be with designer Alexander Wang: “He’s one of the most real people in fashion. Totally unpretentious and fun.” Although she will be giving out advice, last year Agyness revealed she isn’t a huge fashion fan and won’t pursue a catwalk career forever.
“You know, even though I’m in fashion, I don’t, like, do fashion. Fashion isn’t me, even though I work in it. It’s just materialistic stuff. I just want to do whatever makes me happy.”
Celeb Stylist Rachel Zoe Prepares Eponymous Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
It’s about time! Rachel Zoe is to launch her own fashion range.
The celebrity stylist has started up her own brand, The Rachel Zoe Collection, which will include clothing, shoes and accessories, with plans to branch into interiors at a later date.
“Subconsciously or consciously, my whole final goal - I don’t want to say final because that sounds very like it’s the end - but I would say my ultimate dream scenario was to be on the design side. You will absolutely see my trademark pieces. I’ll definitely do faux furs and incredible leather jackets and great trousers. But I’m catering to a broader audience.”
Although her design team is yet to be announced, the collection is set to arrive in stores later next year. Rachel has become a huge name in the fashion industry - dressing a host of celebrities including Nicole Richie, Eva Mendes and Cameron Diaz - but hates it when people think she’s just become an overnight success.

Items Du Jour: Adriana Lima Teaches Baby to Pose, More Mugler Rumors
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
—Designer and Britain’s Next Top Model judge Julien MacDonald recently said that having a plus-size model win “makes it a joke.” Perhaps fellow British designer Mark Fast should give him some counsel, considering he was widely praised for using plus-size models in his Spring/Sumer 2010 show last year.
—Supermodel Adriana Lima poses for Brazil’s HOLA! magazine with her husband Marko Jaric and their new baby Valentina. Looks like she’s training her to model already!
—Eclipse actress Ashley Greene gives into her cravings and claims that she doesn’t diet. As if we needed another reason to be jealous of her…
—Although plus-size models have been making their mark at current shows, normal people made a splash at Sao Paulo Fashion Week when they appeared on the Do Estilista runway. Despite their varying physiques, it was obvious that regular, non-models do know how to own a catwalk.

Sex and the City Stylist Avoids Trends
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: News,
Patricia Field doesn’t pay attention to trends.
The Sex and the City stylist - who has worked on all six seasons and two films of the romantic comedy franchise - says she wants to create a classic look for the films so they never go out of style.
“I’m not mindful of trends. I kind of run away from that because what’s going to be there next season is not going to be there the season after. And movies last a long time. If you look at Breakfast at Tiffany’s today, it looks absolutely gorgeous. You don’t say it looks out of style.”
The New York-based fashionista also claims she “hooks” the looks of the main characters - Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha Jones, Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes - around one particular story arch, and in Sex and the City 2 used the Middle East for inspiration:
“If you find your hook in the script you go with it. The main thing is they get invited to the Middle East by a sheik for a 10-star vacation. So this was my motivation. The anticipation of a trip that they never even could imagine.”
Must-Have Miniskirts
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News, Women, Bottoms, Skirts,
Listen up, ladies! Rachel Zoe says miniskirts are the must-have fashion item of the moment.
The celebrity stylist is a huge fan of shorter hemlines as she thinks they help flatter figures, but also has some advice for women who would prefer to cover up in jeans: “Mini is the length that’s happening right now. Shorter skirts elongate legs. But if you want most of your legs covered, add turn-ups to a boyfriend jean to expose a bit of the ankle. With a skinny jean, scrunch them up your calves.
Blazers are still big news this season, and Rachel recommends giving them a personal touch, saying, “The sleeves are the boxiest bit, so bunch them up to taper them. Pin a brooch in the back to tighten it up and give it a little bit of flavor.”
As for hair, Rachel - who has worked with a host of celebrities including Cameron Diaz and Demi Moore - advises not going too styled as a messy look gives a great contrast. She told Britain’s Glamour magazine, “Don’t dress like you’re in a beauty pageant - if you’re in a super glamorous gown, mess up your hair a little bit.”
