Fashion Face Off: Visions in White

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:37:24 +0000

File them under "WTF Were They Doing There", but thank goodness these goddesses showed up to make the surprisingly sedate red carpet a little more interesting! So who pulled off the virginal white a bit better -- Phoebe in ruffles... or Brigitte with gold lace? Team Phoebe!

Fashion gets festive!

You love fashion and it’s now the time of year to start thinking about your Christmas card lists. Well this year you can combine the Christmas spirit with the ghost of fashionista present with the latest line of Christmas cards by Julie Verhoeven.

Julie Verhoeven is the fashion pack’s favourite illustrator and designer, having worked alongside John Galliano and collaborated with Mulberry, Louis Vuitton and Versace. You may remember her face prints on those Mulberry shoppers that seemed to be everywhere. The face illustration has become Verhoeven’s trademark and is the centre-piece for this gorgeous Christmas card.

The cards are exclusive to and in aid of the Royal College of Art, they cost £1 each or £7.50 for a pack of 10, you can buy them online at the end of the month or you can pre-order by calling 020 7590 4165 or emailing shop@rca.ac.uk.

And don’t forget to send your Julie Verhoeven card with your Anya Hindmarch hamper to your favourite people. The celeb-fave bag designer has created a range of hampers for Selfridges ranging from £55 - £1000, and each hamper contains a very special cracker, offering your lucky loved one a chance to win an Anya Hindmarch handbag.

Have a very stylish Christmas!

The Inter-Views of Fashion: Simone Shailes

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 19:30:28 +0000

Simone Shailes has got a host of accolades under her belt; a distinction in MA knitwear at Central Saint Martins, Chloé Scholarship and more recently the L’Oreal Professionnel Fashion Design award. Now she can add a Topshop collaboration to that list as she has reproduced her graduate collection for the high street store. It represents something of a high street first to reproduce a fresh graduate’s collection for the buying public and could well pave the way for future designer x high street collaborations. The collection features the distinctive chunky loopy knitted dresses and capes as well as the wide metal plate belts to contrast with the soft textures.

How did the collaboration between you and Topshop come about?
Simone Shailes: I met with them after applying for Topshop New Generation Sponsorship at which point they proposed the collaboration, which I was delighted about!

What gave you or Topshop the idea to reproduce your graduate collection rather than designing a whole new collection for them?
SS: Topshop suggested the idea. They knew I hadn’t sold the collection and there was limited time so it seemed like the perfect proposition. Having spent a long time developing and making the MA collection it was really rewarding to have the chance to develop it into a range to be sold on the high street.

How did you develop your aesthetic for your graduate collection - the distinctive looped knits, the play on textures with the metal belts and velvet trousers?
SS: I wanted the knitwear to have the look and feel of fur coats, funny hairdos further inspired the voluminous looped and twisted details. To contrast the luxurious knits I teamed them with velour and denim separates and brash brass accessories.

Are you happy with the results? Do you think more graduates could work with Topshop in this way, reproducing their collection which would otherwise be unavailable to the public?
SS: I’m more than happy with the results, I think the pieces work really well.
It would be a great idea for Topshop to work with more graduates in this way. It was an amazing opportunity to be given at a stage when finances and experience with production were limited.

Your graduate collection has become really recognizable and standout out of the batch of 2008 fashion grads. How have you reacted to that?

SS: It has been a little overwhelming! It’s fantastic that the collection received such a positive response.

What are your plans for the future?
SS: I have recently joined the team at Celine, (under the new creative direction of Phoebe Philo) which I’m really excited about.

Simone Shailes for Topshop collection goes on sale on Thursday 20th November in Topshop.

Chloe Pre-Spring 2009 Fashions

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:41:00 +0000

Spring 2009 Collection

Style, modernity, and a strong sense of femininity have been the key elements of the French fashion house, Chloe, from the very beginning. Maintaining a quiet confidence, Chloe has relied on the abilities of various already-established designers to produce fresh and vibrant clothing – such as Martine Sitbon, Karl Lagerfeld, and Stella McCartney.

Chloe Scallop Hemp Dress
Eco-chic hemp shift dress in a buttery yellow hue is finished with large scalloped hems for a sweet finish.
$1895

Founded in the 1950s, Chloe has relied on different designers to pursue the design house's viability has given a chameleon-like adaptability to its contemporary fashion, calling upon such catalytic freelancers as Karl Lagerfeld who worked as Chloe's designer off and on for twenty-some years.

Chloe Polka Dot Full Sleeve Linen Blouse
Dramatic volume in the full-cut sleeves is pulled in at banded cuffs in a modern linen blouse with a charming navy polka dot print.
$995

From the late 1960s until his departure in 1997, the Chloe name became synonymous with Karl Lagerfeld. The house style remained simple sheath dresses with minimal decoration. Under his guidance, the label moved with ease into the 1970s, and his strongly conceived, modern designs never compromised the supple femininity for which Chloe was known.

Chloe Stripe Linen Top
A boxy silhouette and voluminous sleeves add a modern aesthetic to a brightly striped linen top with goldtone buttons at the shoulders.
$1250

The house's identity has remained true to the design tenets of its early days, producing simple garments made from fluid fabrics. These promote a sense of elegant movement, enlivened by the artistic sense of color that distinguishes French fashion; a constant feature at Chloe, despite the varied nationalities of its designers.

After Lagerfeld's exit to takeover Chanel in the early 1980s, Chloe languished until Martine Sitbon was chosen to inject a sense of originality in 1987. Sitbon embodied facets of Chloe's style that had been established in the 1960s – uncluttered designs drawing on popular culture, with distinct themes for each collection, translated into classic shapes for women confident of their own identity.

When Lagerfeld left again in 1997, Stella McCartney took the reins and reinvigorated Chloe, as well as its sales. Though many believed her girlish, feminine designs would attract only younger women, her Chloe collections proved more sensual and sophisticated than anticipated, and crossed age barriers. McCartney left Chloe to create her own global label, and her longtime assistant, Phoebe Philo was hired as her replacement

Just really like this picture and both Harvey Fierstein and John Waters have done so much for entertainment that I feel they deserve the top spot today.
Now can you please stop with the Anderson Cooper requests. Here he is.
Always willing to check in with Bucky Covington. Just cracks me up. I think it is because he is always smiling. Chop off his finger in an industrial accident and he would probably still be smiling.
Have not had BD Wong on here in forever, but it is mostly because he rarely seems to go out.
The too good looking couple of the day is Chris Diamantopoulos and Becki Newton.
Wow. Between the high heels and the hair-do Carrie Underwood has discovered how to add six inches to her height. Hello Tom Cruise. Are you listening?
Lets see. The David Archuleta on the CD cover looks 30 while he actually appears to be 12. Nice marketing.
And his dad made that pass at home just so people would know.
After a three day absence, Daniel Craig makes an appearance again. This time with Satsuki.
To remind people who she is, Debra Messing has started posing like the opening credits to Will & Grace.
The randomest photo of the day goes to Donatella Versace and Jet Li.
I can imagine the conversation with the designer. “See, I’m going to be at this Christmas star unveiling and I need something that will match.”
Meanwhile in the UK, they have already lit their street lights on Oxford Street a mere 43 days before Christmas. Next year they are going to do it in July.
Greg Allman - Nashville
Gladys Knight - New York
Anyone want to take a guess at the over/under for how many drinks combined Hank Williams Jr and Kid Rock have had in their lifetime.
Il Diva - London
Jon Hamm at the Quantum of Solace after party.
As well as Andre Balazs.
So, I still say she’s pregnant, but I think I was wrong about the father. Oh, I think I kept that quiet before. Oh well.
James Marsden has been long absent from the photos.
Our random athlete of the day is Kerry Collins.
I keep putting Kenneth Cole in the photos hoping he will take pity on me and send me some free stuff. Of course, I put Tom Ford in here for like two months straight and never did get that shopping spree.
I’m guessing that medal is not for being the world’s greatest dad. Notice the engagement ring on Miley’s finger. Think I’m wrong?
Look at Justin’s finger.
“So Taylor. Maybe you can come back to the house with us and we can reenact the Vanity Fair photos I took with Miley. What do you say?”
I really do like Mary Louise Parker.
I also really like Nobu. Here is Nobuyuki Matshuhisa actually cooking.
Unlike Gordon Ramsay who I’m not sure even cooks anymore.
You think Nicole Richie would ever pose anymore with the other Hilton sister?
Just because it is Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Just thinking about how many hours a week Susan Lucci must work out to stay looking so young is enough to make me tired.
The runner up for randomest photo of the day goes to Whoopi Goldberg and Tim Allen.
This is at The Grove which is a shopping mall in LA. Two weeks ago I went to The Grove everyday for about a week straight because I had some things to get and the biggest celebrity was some guy who I think was on Last Comic Standing four years ago. Everytime anyone else goes they name drop more than Phoebe Price trying to get into a party.

Cougars With Cocktails Inhabit This Weeks Lipstick Jungle

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:00:36 +0000

Friday on Lipstick Jungle, we saw the fabulous threesome hit a cocktail party to celebrate the launch of a new sports magazine under Nico’s management. The ladies looked spectacular as usual, but there’s something particularly interesting about Victory’s dress - it’s the same Andrew Gn design she was wearing when we interviewed her at the Tide Party!

Evidently, this is a custom version of one of his dresses, but you can grab this Andrew Gn Wool Jersey Dress with Leather Trim ($2,045) and have the cuffs customized too if you're willing to shell out the cash. Pair it with the shoe choice from the show, these hot MICHAEL Michael Kors Penelope Sandals ($128).

As for the other two fashionistas, how about taking some inspiration from their pieces without spending a mint? This Phoebe Couture Stretch Satin Strapless Dress ($270) is a great holiday-savvy take on Wendy's style. For Nico’s form-fitting silver dress, try this Silver Label Grey Pleated Dress ($148) It's a sure-fire way to take your look from office to evening.

You can also see this post at SeenON's Lipstick Jungle page for these and other styles from Friday's episode, plus info on where to buy them.

Phoebe Price, Is That You?

I still can't believe she did this. Jennifer Aniston. (Craving attention.) At The Ivy. What gives?!? Check out the vid below... I don't even think Angelina would stoop so low!

Paul McCartney doing Karaoke to “Kung Fu Dancing” is always going to get the top spot. Always. Actually anyone who does gets the top spot. Come on. Sing it with me. You know the words.

Every so often I go ahead and put a child star in the photos. It does help though if I like a film you have been in and Abagail Breslin has been in some that I really like.

Every so often Angelica Huston shows up somewhere and when she does then I almost feel obligated to put her in. I mean she is Angelica Huston after all. Nice stache Brad. Madonna & Britney Spears - Los Angeles And once again, we have Daniel Craig. How many more times can this film premiere? I don’t even think they have done Asia yet. Elvis Costello - New York The newly single Evan Rachel Wood. Is it my imagination or does it seem like Gavin Rossdale has gone out almost every night for the past few weeks. Halle Berry on the set of her new film. Hugh Laurie has been absent from the photos for awhile. It must be Fast Times week. First was Phoebe Cates and now Jennifer Jason Leigh.
The only photo of Jason Lewis I could find from him last night. Jenny Lewis - New York I know this may sound odd, but I’m getting almost a Kevin Smith vibe here from Jason Priestly.
No such vibe from Jason Statham though. Kanye West - Liverpool I think I have professed my love for Lisa Loeb here before. I don’t think there is a celebrity I have known longer so, she is my first. Not in that way. Get your minds out of the gutter. FFF comes later. So, I found this photo of Lindsay Lohan. Notice the lit cigarette and the guy who was obviously passed the drink because of the way he is holding it.
Now, look at the same photo from People Magazine. Must not offend someone I guess is their policy. Speaking of offend. You know what? It takes guts to wear that dress even if all you want is attention, so Mischa Barton doesn’t get the snark today. You know the rules. You wear velvet and you are in no matter what. When you wear velvet shoes, it is just a bonus. On the other hand if you are wearing these shoes, you don’t get your face in. When Marisa Tomei hasn’t hit the bar yet she still can look really good. I will let all of you handle this. My first reaction was the Splash was having open auditions and Nicole was auditioning for the mermaid. It must be Christmas, the gorilla got his presents. You know it is a great day when Sandra Bernhard is actually smiling. The original Hot Lips, Sally Kellerman.
And Sarah Michelle Gellar who has been hot I guess. Taio Cruz - London
The Killers - Liverpool I would be smiling to if I just made $10M this week. Hell, you give me $100 and I will smile from ear to ear for a few hours. It has been a couple of months I think since we last checked in on Tilda Swinton.
