VIDEO: Lauren Conrad Offers Fashion Advice Via PSA

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Videos,

Reality star-turned-writer Lauren Conrad is taking to the internet (with the help of Ryan Seacrest) to promote her latest book, Style.

In her PSA, Conrad targets “fashion f****-ups,” in which she uses Anna Wintour‘s face to cover up the expletive. As humorous as it is and as much as I agree, I find it hard to listen to fashion advice from someone whose style mostly consists of flip-flops, jeans, and simple dresses. Her boldest fashion move was a Moschino dress at the MTV Movie Awards!

If you do happen to like her styling tips, her book is now available in stores.

Emma Watson continues to front the People Tree brand, for which she acts as a creative advisor.

This time around, the Harry Potter star is showing off her extremely short hair, and she looks great! She may be selling me on the hair, but I’m not so sure if these summertime dresses would be right for the upcoming cold season. The brand does get major bonus points for being fair-trade.

VIDEO: Taylor Momsen Sort of Fronts John Galliano Perfume

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News, Videos,

Gossip Girl star-turned-stripper-rocker Taylor Momsen was hired by John Galliano to front his perfume campaign for Parlez-Moi D’Amour. This came as quite a shock, considering Galliano seems like he’d want someone with more class (and perhaps less eyeliner) to become the face of his high-end beauty product.

The first promo for the product (seen in the video above) for which Momsen was hired doesn’t actually have the actress in it. Well, not her face, anyway. Instead, the actress lends her vocal chords to a tune much softer than what her bandmates are used to playing. All in all, it’s not so bad, but who would honestly know that it’s her? Seems like some wasted money on Galliano’s part.

VIDEO: David and Victoria Beckham Get Intimate in New Commercial

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Videos,

Let’s face it. Whether David and Victoria Beckham are in a seedy-looking motel room or in an elevator—they are always going to hotter than (most of) us.

And they probably wouldn’t ever need a spritz of Intimately Yours to make us look bad.

The sooner you can accept this fact, the sooner you can get to simply living vicariously through them—and saving your money in the process.

VIDEO: Martin Scorcese Directs Chanel Ad

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News, Videos,

You know that a fashion house has staying power when it can enlist the directorial skills of an Oscar winner like Martin Scorcese. Such was the case with Chanel, who hired Scorcese to direct a commercial for its men’s fragrance, Bleu de Chanel.

While the French actor Gaspard Ulliel captivates most of my attention, I can’t help but compare it to David Lynch’s gig for Dior. With Lynch, at least you still saw his signature touch in the video. Scorcese’s, while much shorter in length, looked more like the typical run-of-the-mill fragrance spot. Even Frank Miller made an interesting take on Gucci’s perfume!

VIDEO: Christina Hendricks in London Fog Campaign

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Videos, Women, Outerwear, Jackets & Coats,

Had Don Draper brought Joan Holloway to his London Fog meeting last season, the Mad Men character might have spared everyone a little time (and a Sal Romano some hotel embarrassment)—but better late then never, right?

In this real-life campaign for the outerwear company, actress Christina Hendricks adds sex appeal to the classic trench coats the company is known for.

“London Fog is a classic brand, which I love. It also ties into Mad Men — we used London Fog in the show and this was a nice way to tie everything together,” the company’s new celebrity spokesmodel said. “The trench is such an iconic shape for men and women. It worked in the 1960s and it works now.”

Of course, just about anything works on Christina – which is why Brian McFayden is probably somewhere drooling like an idiot right now.

Madonna Directs Miu Miu Campaign

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Videos,

Madonna has directed Miu Miu‘s Fall/Winter 2010 campaign film.

The singer - who has also worked on a clothing line entitled Material Girl with her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes - is said to have gone to the set of the video to meet with photographers Mert Atlas and Marcus Pigott, but ended up directing the shoot instead.

“We were supposed to shoot a video, so Madonna said she wanted to direct it. They said she could do it but they weren’t going to pay her and she started laughing. She put on her iPod and taught us moves and we shot the video for two hours,” said model Ginta Lapina.

Ginta, along with fellow models Lindsey Wixson, Daphne Groeneveld and Siri Tollerod, are all seen dancing to heavy base music in front of strobe lights while wearing Miu Miu’s coveted embellished dresses teamed with kitten heels and patent handbags. Check out the video after the jump!
