“With modeling you have to say, ‘I don’t want that cookie.’ My hips are right on the edge of 35 inches, so if I eat too much I might go over to 36.”
Did Vogue China violate its own health initiative by putting Ondria Hardin, who reportedly just turned 16, in the magazine?
A South Korean bar going by the name of “Chanel Business Club” has been sued by – you guessed it – Chanel. {HuffPo} V Magazine is getting celebs to disrobe left and right: first the ass-tastic cover shot of Nicole Kidman, now an editorial with a topless Céline Dion. {People} Model Elettra Wiedemann talks about Read more →
Kickstarter’s Strangest Successes: We’re fascinated by Kickstarter’s potential to launch fashion brands, and even more fascinated by some of the crazy stuff that gets $$$–here are the 10 wackiest. Olympic Mania: We like to think we’re not the only ones whose lives are now fully consumed by watching Olympic events and medal counts (right guys?!). Read more →
Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bundchen and her signature feature have graced more magazines than we can possibly count. That Brazilian backside has taken her down runways and landed her major campaigns season after season, helping earn her the title of highest-paid model. And today, that brilliant bum (and the rest of Gisele) turn 32 years old.
The new Vogue health initiative kicked into high gear this month, an excellent–albeit belated–move on the magazine’s behalf. All 19 editions have hit newsstands, so it’s time to see if Vogue is practicing what they preach. Each month we’ll be following up on the initiative’s most trackable and divisive tenet: age. Vogue has vowed not Read more →
Saint Laurent Paris Does The Timewarp: On Wednesday, we reported that Yves Saint Laurent might be dropping the “Yves” as a means of rebranding the label under the direction of Hedi Slimane, and the very next day the storied fashion house confirmed, sending countless tweeters, bloggers and writers into a tizzy. We, on the other hand, started to think about what would happen if other design houses were to do the same.
Kate Upton’s Busy, Busy Week: The busty blonde graced the cover of GQ (which coincidentally channeled Azealia Banks in her latest music video for “Jumanji”), spoke onscreen about her love of America (and large breasts) and even taught Jimmy Fallon how to Cat Daddy. How’d she do it all? With some seriously genius self-marketing skills.
Asian Beauty Products That Might Just Save Your Skin: Okay, so maybe they won’t save your skin, but they’re certainly bizarre and intriguing enough to warrant a test-run. From charcoal shampoo to a chin contour mask to collagen-boosting marshmallows, we’re curious to see what will be first to hit the shelves of Sephora first (or, alternatively, be banned by the FDA).
Model-Turned-Actress, Everybody’s Doing It: Models are good looking people, and so are actresses. Actresses appear on magazine covers, and so do models. So it makes sense that models might whet their palates and give acting a try, right? Right. We rounded up the many, many models who have transitioned from runway to silver screen and analyzed how seamlessly and successfully they made the jump.
Kate Middleton Repeat Roundup: The Duchess of Cambridge has a habit of repeating dresses, coats, shoes and fascinators and a serious knack for making everything look just as good (if not better!) the second time around. Check out our roundup of her most-loved pieces!
Collaboration Nation: It seems that every time we check the news, another designer house has announced an upcoming collaboration or capsule collection. To keep you on your A-game, we rounded up the most notable team-ups. Is your fav in there?
Best Of Resort, Round One: Resort has turned into a veritable fashion circus, giving the RTW shows a run for their money and making it tough to keep up with collections. We’ve made life easier for you by rounding up the best of the bunch… so far.
Go Ahead, Judge A Girl By Her Shoes: A study by the University of Kansas found that the style of your favorite, most loved shoes actually reveals a lot about you. Wondering what your shoes say about you (and your favorite fashionites)? We’ve got the scoop.
How mean is it when onlookers laugh at people falling? It’s like, really, really mean. Add in some stilettos, a poorly placed pool, or some faulty floorboards, and that ill-fated stumbler is pretty much doomed to become some jackass’s idea of comedy. That being said, even we have to admit that this “ultimate” compilation of Read more →
What took so long? Neva Vodianova Portman, Natalia Vodianova’s 6-year-old daughter with ex-husband Justin Portman, has finally landed her first campaign after a little modeling hiatus. She posed for childrenswear label Caramel Baby and Child, with whom Natalia collaborated on a cashmere dress and matching collar inspired by her Russian upbringing with proceeds going to Read more →
