The CW has released a few more promotional photos from The Carrie Diaries now that it has been officially picked up. And it looks like costume designer Eric Daman is really committing to an over-the-top ’80s look for AnnaSophia Robb, who plays young Carrie Bradshaw. Vulture is reporting that the Sex and the City prequel Read more →
Prepare yourselves: the world might soon know what Carrie Bradshaw looked like in the ’80s.
After years of speculation on whether or not a Sex and the City prequel would come to be, the balls are finally rolling.
The CW, home to shows like Gossip Girl and Hart of Dixie, has officially ordered a pilot for The Carrie Diaries, based on the novel by Candace Bushnell.
Well, this is about five years late: The CW is finally cashing in on Gossip Girl‘s fashion cred with a clothing line inspired by the show, produced in partnership with LA-based contemporary label Romeo & Juliet Couture, WWD, is reporting.
The collection will include embellished tops, bottoms, novelty sweaters, outerwear and draped chiffon dresses with touches of leather, pleats and prints–all of it inspired by one of the characters on the salacious show. So we’re guessing there’ll be a lot of bows (Blair), plunging necklines (Serena) and “funky” colorful separates (Vanessa). Let’s just hope they don’t take inspiration form Taylor Momsen‘s written-off character Jenny, who was a fan of sporting pink tutus from time to time.
The line will retail for $80-$200 and will be sold in stores like Kitson, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue for fall, which is actually kind of high-end for a line inspired by a teens’ show (and past it’s prime, no less).
We don’t know – and can’t imagine – why, so we’ll just give you the facts: 1. Ashton Kutcher is starting another television show, this time for the CW (home of the fashion-centric Gossip Girl), and this time about models. 2. It’s going to be based on his experiences having grown up as a model Read more →
Good news if you’re a fan of Nina Garcia on Project Runway, and Stylista on the CW. Bad news if you think ELLE should lay off cable-related publicity: ELLE has just hired on Creative Artists Agency as a consultant. Why? Because they need someone to look for “TV shows and film properties that can elevate Read more →
Oh. My. God. Much like Star Wars, Gossip Girl is getting its own prequel series, revolving around the buried romance between Lily Bass and Rufus Humphrey, which will be introduced to Gossip Girl viewers via flashbacks during the May 11th episode. Yes, the Lily/Rufus thing is a total yawn, but since the separate series is Read more →
Apparently, 90210 is the zip that keeps on giving. Because believe it or not, there’s not one, not two, but four separate nail polishes dedicated to the city of ostentatious wealth. Kind of ironic in these times of financial strife, no? OPI’s three-piece 90210 collection is based, unfortunately, on the new craptastic CW show. Props Read more →
We hear Jordache, maker of vintage jeans and employer of Heidi Klum, is more than a little upset with Gossip Girl. See, according to a GG insider at the CW upfronts, Jordache claims to have invented the ‘XOXO’ brand and they’re not thrilled everyone’s associating the phrase, (is it even that?), with Kristen Bell’s voice Read more →
This morning WWD reported that ELLE’s Joe Zee and Anne Slowey have started a New York City promo tour for the CW’s “Fashionistas“. But there seems to be a little confusion on the Tyra front, or someone missed the memo. Reuters now reports that the show is called Stylista, and the contestants will vie for Read more →
