Fashion News Roundup: Possible Photoshop Restrictions, Karlie Kloss’s Next Top Model and Giorgio Armani Hates On Prada

by

American Medical Association Finally Addresses Photoshop: The AMA wants to work out restrictions in the advertising industry to “discourage the altering of photographs in a manner that could promote unrealistic expectations of appropriate body image.” It’s a start–could we hope for magazine editorials and covers next? {Jezebel}

Karlie Kloss’ Model Competition: The model is teaming up with Mother Model Management, who discovered the 18-year-old in Wisconsin in 2005, to hold a nationwide search for the “next top model” that will end in a charity fashion show and event, hosted by Kloss. {Telegraph}

Giorgio Armani Is Not A Fan of Prada: In another case of designer-on-designer hate, Armani bashed Miuccia Prada on her Hong Kong stock debut, saying it was just a way to cover debts. He also said both she and fellow Italians Dolce and Gabbana often turns out “ugly” clothes. {WWD}

Kate Moss on Kate Middleton and Her New Collaboration With Terry Richardson For Mango

Kate Moss on Kate Middleton and Her New Collaboration With Terry Richardson For Mango

by

There’s no telling whether Kate Moss has seen the “There’s Only One Kate In London” meme (we’d like to think that she has, and likes it) but she did offer her thoughts on the other Kate in a very funny interview with the Telegraph.

The Telegraph‘s Bryony Gordon got the chance to talk to the usually reticent Kate Moss at a press event for Mango. While the nature of Moss’ partnership with Mango was unclear at the time of the interview (was she doing a collaboration with Mango, a la Topshop? Gordon mused), a release out today reveals that the Spanish mass retailer partnered with the supermodel and Terry Richardson to produce a special video that aired before the Mango’s fall show last night in Paris. (The video hasn’t yet been released so that us regular folks who didn’t get to attend the show can see what all the fuss was about but we’ll post it as soon as it’s out.)

Gordon, nervous to meet and talk to Kate Moss (she calls her “most famous British woman on the planet bar the Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge”), hilariously brings some jam and cigarettes as gifts to soften her up (Kate makes jam, remember?). I think it worked. Here are the highlights:

Fashion News Roundup: Maggie Rizer Blogs About Her Dogs, Natalie Portman’s Fiance/Baby Daddy Modeled for Mango and Rihanna To Create A Line For Topshop?

by

Rihanna To Replace Kate Moss at Topshop?: Rihanna recently had lunch with Topshop’s Sir Philip Green in Barbados so now the Daily Mail is speculating that they might have been discussing a Topshop line for the singer. Um…seems like a bit of a stretch. {Daily Mail}

Maggie Rizer Blogs About Her Pups: Maggie Rizer has three golden retrievers–Henry, Albert and Beatrice–and she’s started blogging about them on her site, Bea Makes Three. Cute golden retrievers and models? This is a blog we can get behind. Especially if she brings a kitten into the mix. {Modelinia}

Benjamin Millepied Modeled for Mango: Before he became Natalie Portman’s fiance/baby daddy, the City ballet dancer and choreographer did some modeling. {The Cut}

Another Spice Girl Launches a Line: Watch out Posh. Baby Spice Geri Halliwell has launched a swimwear line, ‘Geri by Next.’ Somehow we doubt she’ll encroach on Beckham’s reign as the most fashion-y Spice Girl. {Daily Mail}

Last Night’s Parties: Swanky with Swarovski and Jonelle Monae Rocks MNG by Mango for JC Penney

Last Night’s Parties: Swanky with Swarovski and Jonelle Monae Rocks MNG by Mango for JC Penney

by LEAH CHERNIKOFF AND DHANI MAU

We divided and conquered last night so we could dine in the penthouse of the Trump Soho with Prabal Gurung and Swarovski and catch Janelle Monae perform and gawk at Alex McCord and Simon Van Kempen on the red carpet at the MNG by Mango for JCPenney Party.

I attended a dinner at the glass-walled “Sohi” room at the top of the new Trump Soho Hotel to celebrate the launch of the Spring/Summer 2011 Atelier Swarovski collection. Lauren already got a peek at the collection, designed by Joseph Altuzarra, Mark Fast, Prabal Gurung, Michael Kaplan and Jenny Manik Mercian, at Colette in Paris, so I was psyched to get a first hand look at the sparkling baubles myself. They sparkled almost as brightly as the city skyline, which, from the 47th floor at Spring at Varick Sts., was a glimmering thing to behold. Gurung was on hand to schmooze with editors, and it was his collection of punked out geometric bling, and Altuzarra’s crystals set in lucite bangles that stood out. Also? The food at the Trump Soho is really good. Thanks for a fabulous dinner Swarovski!

Dhani took on the MNG by Mango for JCPenney launch party at bank-turned-fancy-party-venue, Capitale, which featured a runway show and performance by Janelle Monae.
