Suri Cruise: Future Stylist?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Girls,
Make no mistake - Suri Cruise is her own stylist.
The three-year-old tot, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, dresses herself and chooses all her outfits. Dad Tom said, “Just so you know, she dresses herself. She picks out everything on her own.”
Mum Katie - who has her own clothing line Holmes + Yang - admits she’s a huge admirer of her daughter’s sense of fashion: “She has such cute style.”
Although Suri chooses her own outfits, it was recently reported Katie spends $25,000 a month on her daughter’s clothes as she wants her to be the “most fashionable kid in Hollywood.”
A source said, “Dressing Suri in amazing outfits has become Katie’s favorite hobby. She’ll scour the internet and Beverly Hills shops to find items and get inspiration for different looks. One of Katie’s favorite looks is 80s-inspired - she puts Suri in leggings and long sweatshirts or bright dresses. Suri loves getting involved and choosing things too.”

Quote of the Day: Lady Gaga Takes Styling Cues From Art
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
“My Jean-Paul Goude [Matthew Williams was] the inspiration that made the connection for me between the art world and the fashion world. He used to say things like ‘If you want to make a shoulder pad, don’t research jackets—research sculpture, mineral rocks, paintings.’ He thinks in a different way; he is the designer of the future.”

Quote of the Day: Robert Verdi on Food
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Models, News, Rumors,
“There are different cultural norms and values and beauty identities, and the fact that thin is in — who cares? It’s why I stopped eating. I think food is for fat people and poor people. Rich people don’t eat. They get dressed up and go shopping.”

Gossip Girl Wardrobe Costs $19 Million
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News, Rumors, Men, Women,
The Gossip Girl wardrobe is worth an estimated $19 million.
The hit TV show, which follows a group of wealthy New York teenagers, is famed for its designer clothes, bags, jewelery, shoes and other accessories. Each episode of the series, which stars Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, features a string of exclusive outfits, which are stored in an impressive wardrobe spanning 1,500 sq ft and five floors.
Chace Crawford, who plays Nate Archibald on the show, said, “The girls disappear into that wardrobe for hours. They are like kids in a candy store! In fact, I always ask them not to schedule my fittings after Blake’s, because she always makes me late for my next scene. I tell them they have to get her enough Disneyland time.”
Costume designer Eric Daman has revealed it is a lengthy process trying to decide which pieces are featured on the show: “We average five to six looks per character—a total of 80 outfits per episode. And you have to go through 500 to get to that 80.”
Chace insists most of the wardrobe space is occupied by outfits for the leading female characters: “I have five pairs of shoes in a large box. They have clothes spread over five stories!”
Stylist Quits Over Curvy Models
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Women,
The resistance against curvy women in fashion is still formidable. Designer Mark Fast experienced this first-hand, as his stylist quit three days before their London Fashion Week show when the designer revealed that he wanted to use larger models.
Freelancers Daniela Agnelli and Natalie Hubbarb were there, thankfully, to save the day and got everything in place for their Saturday show at the University of Westminster.
While not all of the models that walked his runway were plus-size, he did use three models from the agency 12+ UK—it’s definitely a start.
To think that the size of three models upset someone on his team so much to drive her to quit is beyond me.
Creative director Amanda May was thrilled with the challenge: “The decision to use fuller girls is something we have been talking about. There’s an idea that only thin and slender women are able to wear Mark’s dresses and he wanted to combat that. We wanted women to know they didn’t have to be a size zero to wear a Mark Fast dress—curvier women can look even better in them.”
Hopefully this marks a more lasting effect on the use of models over a size 8.

Rachel Zoe Obsesses Over Shoes

Rachel Zoe has “too many shoes.”
The celebrity stylist, who has worked with Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, and Anne Hathaway, is obsessed with footwear and can’t help splashing out on new pairs.
“I love them, I have way too many shoes.”
Rachel wore a pair of Louis Vuitton Cancan boots, which are thigh-high with laces and a four-inch heel, to the Marc Jacobs show at New York Fashion Week on Monday and revealed that they are her current must-have item.
“These boots, I’ve got to have these frickin’ boots. I love them. And I’m obsessed with them. They take a while to get on, but they’re definitely my favorite boots. Clearly they were not meant for me—on the runway they were on a six-foot model—but I don’t care. I think that’s the whole fun of fashion. You should wear it because you feel like it.”
Rachel is a firm believer in experimenting with different looks and adapting your style to suit the season, but admits that she is always inspired by the ‘60s and ‘70s: “Some of my favorite things are vintage scarves, vintage sunglasses, and great cocktail rings. You find them all over the world at flea markets!”
Alex Perry Loves What He Does
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Dresses,
Alex Perry is addicted to dressing famous people.
The Australian designer has styled some of the world’s most beautiful women, including Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Elle Macpherson, and says that his first experience was everything he’d ever dreamed of.
“The first time I dressed Elle Macpherson, I thought I was going to die. Then I was like a crack addict, and I thought, ‘Right! Who can I dress next?’ I had one tear sheet in Vogue and I thought, ‘You know what? Kill me now. I am so fabulous!’ “
Despite being a hugely successful and in-demand designer, Alex always insists on fitting every custom-made dress himself because he feels he gives it that extra edge: “It sounds minor, but I’ll make it half an inch tighter. I’ll make it half an inch lower. I can make you look that extra size smaller.”
Alex added he doesn’t care what people think of him and never lets negative comments from others get to him: “You’re gay, you’re fat, you’re thin, you’re an a**hole, you’re not talented, you rip off Valentino. I’ll give you a list if you like. I don’t know those people, and I don’t care. I know what I do, and I know who I am, and what people say really doesn’t affect me.”
