Beyonce Knowles has been named the official face of the ‘Fashion for Haiti’ shirt. The 28-year old R&B singer and actress is encouraging people to buy the shirt, created by Peter Arnell, who also created a mended heart logo shirt that raised $2 million for charity after 9/11. Beyonce was named the spokesperson through the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The shirt costs $25 and will benefit the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. Beyonce said “Join me and the fashion industry by buying and wearing the Fashion for Haiti T-shirt. Together we can send a message of hope by raising much needed funds for the people of Haiti.”
Leona Lewis has proven herself to be a power player when it comes to her music career but the singer also has other plans. In a recent interview with UK’s OK magazine, the singer says that she wants to get into the clothing industry sooner or later. Leona said “I’ve always wanted to have my own fashion line, and that’s something I want to focus on next year. I’m on a mission. I’d love to promote a line of non-leather bags and shoes that are affordable. I think more needs to be available and not so expensive.” You can always do whatever it is you want as long as you put your mind to it! Go for it Leona!
While being handed a Stylemaker award at the 13th annual Accessories Exchange Council, Lady GaGa took the opportunity of the moment to transmit a subtle message for all fashion lovers out there: “I think we must all remember that the ultimate accessory is the condom.” She might have thought she was promoting safe sex… but calling a condom an accessory, doesn’t really relay its importance too much. Lady GaGa might just have “inspired” some “artists” to start making condom-themed clothing. But hey, all for the betterment of the world, eh? This must fit in nicely with Lady GaGa’s plan of turning art into sex.
Lindsay Lohan was just dropped by Casablanca Records after supposedly spending nearly a year and a half recording her next album. That album would have been her third. So what’s she going to do now? A reality show of course! Supposedly a camera crew was following the washed up singer/actress around to various fashion shows, parties and clubs when she was in Paris fuelling rumors that the footage will be used for a reality show. Linday’s rep declined to comment regarding the issue. Well, she does need to make money somehow. It’s not like she has that many options left.
Lily Allen performed during Chanel’s ready to wear Spring Summer 2010 fashion show last week in Paris, France. The 24-year old British train wreck of a singer and a barnyard band performed a country and western twist to her hit song ‘Not Fair’. Two models even acted like Lily’s back up singer. Hey, if she wants to reinvent her music career, she may have found the answer to that. I wonder if the front row of stars, including Prince, Rihanna and Claudia Schiffer, enjoyed Lily’s performance. Who cares though? It’s not like they were at a fashion show to watch her perform.
Singer Cheryl Cole is set to bring out a new clothing line.
The 26-year-old Girls Aloud star is going to release her own fashion label selling clothing and accessories.
A source told British newspaper The London Evening Standard: “With her new hair and edgier clothes choices, Cheryl has told work colleagues that she wants to capitalise on her ‘best dressed’ status and is exploring the possibilities of launching her own fashion label next year.”
The X Factor judge is keen to bring out a casual wear range as well as a handbag collection.
The source added: “Cheryl wants to pounce while she’s on top. She spent a great deal of time in LA and thinks her style can translate wonderfully across continents. But everything is in the early stages. Cheryl loves fashion.”
Earlier this year, Cheryl reportedly said that 35-year-old singer Victoria Beckham’s clothing line was not something Girls Aloud would wear as it was for “older women”.
The X-Factor judges Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue made a fashion faux pas after turning up to auditions in the same pair of shoes.
The singers arrived in Glasgow wearing matching YSL Tribute pumps, according to reports.
The shoes, which cost £490, sport six-inch heels and are worn by stars like Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez.
Fellow judge Simon Cowell has previously compared the duo to peacocks.
Talking about his decision to hold all the auditions in front of a live audience, he said: “The girls, I think, are going to love it because they are like peacocks those two – they want to be on show.”
The last series was shrouded in rumours of a rift between the girls, with claims that Minogue felt Cole was getting more screen time.
Madonna has once again been asked to participate in yet another campaign for French fashion house Louis Vuitton. The Queen of Pop will be joining photographer Steven Meisel for the shoot. He’s the same guy who shot Madonna’s amazing contribution to Louis Vuitton’s Spring-Summer 2009 campaign. I’m sure it will be another amazing campaign considering the team that they have. I can’t wait to see it. LV should just make Madonna their official spokesperson already. I doubt they got her again just for fun. She does an amazing job for them. And I bet she gets a lot of cool freebies too.
This one is a clear example that not all change is for the better. The rapper or former rapper and future fashion designer, Kanye West, has changed his name to “Martin ‘Louis’ the King Jr.” In a video statement on his blog, Kanye West said: “Due to what has happened – what has happened so severely when the red shoes hit the runway, I was forced to change my name to Martin Louis the King Jr. Address me as such.” The change is apparently due to the launch of his new footwear range for Louis Vuitton. I really like the end part with “address me as such”.
Louis Vuitton’s latest advertisement campaign has been revealed and it features none other than the Queen of Pop, Madonna. And wouldn’t you know it? The Material Girl was looking fierce for the ads! Vuitton designer and creative director Marc Jacobs said that they went with Madonna after he just blurted out about wanting Madonna at a meeting. He had supposedly been inspire by her concert and was totally blown away by her. The photos for the ads were shot by Steven Meisel instead of the rumored Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. The photos feature the classic Parisian aesthetic of Jacobs’ spring LV collections.
Sheryl Crow has gone into the fashion business as she has recently launched Bootheel Trading Co., her new line of jeans, denim jackets and tops. The 46-year old singer says “I’ve spent years collecting some of the most amazing pieces and never thought I would be able to bring the spirit of this vintage, laid-back fashion to life with comparable quality at a price with every woman in mind.” Retail price point for the collection will be anywhere in between $65 to $68 for jeans. Well that’s not much of a range. Oh well, the prices seem reasonable enough. It’s fine I guess.
Gwen Stefani is set to reinterpret Dorothy’s famous ruby slippers from ‘The Wizard of Oz’.
The No Doubt singer is one of 19 designers who have been chosen by Warner Bros. Consumer Products and CRYSTALLIZED(TM) – Swarovski Elements to create their own version of Dorothy’s footwear in honour of the 70th anniversary of the classic movie next year.’The Wizard of Oz Ruby Slipper Collection’ will be unveiled in a special event on September 4 at New York’s famous department store Saks Fifth Avenue.
The 19 pairs of shoes – designed by fashion icons including Alberta Ferretti, Christian Louboutin, Diane von Furstenberg, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Moschino and Oscar de la Renta – will then be displayed as part of New York Fashion Week, in the city’s Bryant Park, before being taken around the US on a tour and then being auctioned off, with proceeds going to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
Gwen, who is considered one of the world’s most stylish women, already has her own fashion line L.A.M.B.
I hear Amy Winehouse is in the market for a new wardrobe designer. Ha! I’m guessing Kanye’s not lining up for the job.
Kanye is, however, hooking up with Louis Vuitton to create a new line of shoes for men and women. Looking at Kanye’s style, I’m betting those will be some hot shoes. He’s also working with Takashi Murakami, a lead artist.
Also in November, Kanye is set to launch a clothing line to go with the jewelry line he already has.
As if she hasn’t had enough fashion issues lately….girl should’ve never cut her hair, I guess.
Rihanna showed up at the BET Awards dressed in some mess of a Big Bird costume (God rest his soul!).
Seems like she can’t get anything right these days. First nipple rings, now this….Rihanna, honey, take my advice. Hire a stylist other than yo cuzin Shaniqua.
At least we hope she does. If not, she has no business hocking a new fragrance.
She has inked a deal with Proctor and Gamble Prestige Products to create her own perfume. She’s, umm, following in the footsteps of fellow divas Britney and Christina. Maybe she’ll be luckier and hers will actually sell.
The plan is to aim the product at her teenage fans. She said the fragrance should hit the market in 2009.
The ‘Just Fine’ singer is so obsessed with designer footwear that she has a whole closet devoted to storing her purchases.
She said: “My biggest fashion weakness is definitely shoes. My favourites are some Chloe wedges. I have around 1,000 pairs.”
I envy her….as I am sure most warm-blooded females will!
Mary is planning to channel her love of fashion into her own clothing range, which will focus on denim. She added to: “I’d really love to do that. I want to start with a great pair of jeans that fit nicely and are made from a good-quality material. I’m also working on a perfume. I’m always checking out new scents for ideas.”
However, the 37-year-old singer has no intention of trying to compete in the fashion stakes with her younger pop rivals.
She said: “I’m learning about fashion, but a lot of people do like my style. I don’t have to compete though – I don’t even want to compete. I’m not trying to outdo Rihanna or Beyonce.”
Trampy Amy Winehouse is launching her own brand of clothes and make-up so fans can copy her unique style. The news emerged yesterday as Amy, 24, modelled the look — including a leopard-print scarf atop her matted barnet and cig stuck to her lip.
The range will include hairspray, but the signature piece is set to be the heavy liquid eyeliner the Rehab singer has made famous. She has a meeting scheduled for later this week to discuss the project with fashion and cosmetics experts.
A pal revealed yesterday: “Amy’s style has been copied by girls around the country and there’s a lot of money to be made. It’s a very distinctive look. She wants to bring out a range of cosmetics and fashion products. There could be hairspray, head scarves, liquid eyeliner, perfume. All the things that are distinctive of her look.”
A fashion industry source added: “I think this stuff would sell very well in London. She has become a fashion icon despite not always looking too fresh.”
Justin Timberlake is a singer, songwriter, producer and actor. Now, he can add model to his ever-growing resume as he is the new face of Givenchy’s latest men’s fragrance. The President and CEO of Parfums Givenchy Alain Lorenzo says that “Beyond his huge celebrity appeal, we have chosen Justin Timberlake because he is a world recognized trendsetter who redefines modern elegance.” People is reporting that the new Givenchy campaign featuring the very talented Mr. JT will be unveiled in June of this year. I say someone needs to focus more on music and dancing. It’s what he does best. Acting and modeling – leave that to the pros.
Kylie Minogue has asked Jean Paul Gaultier to design the outfits for her upcoming tour.
The renowned French designer has already met with the ‘2 Hearts’ singer, who kicks off her European tour ‘KylieX2008′ in Paris on May 6, to show her his “sophisticated” vision for her stage wardrobe.
Kylie’s designer friend William Barker revealed: “We’re working with Jean Paul Gaultier on the costumes.The outfits are incredibly sophisticated – we are moving on to the next level, which is what she did with her new album ‘X’.”
Kylie wants Jean Paul – who was behind Madonna’s show-stopping outfits for her infamous ‘Blonde Ambition Tour’ in 1990 – to create her a collection of outfits that reflect a more mature stage in her life as she is turning 40 in May.

It seems the first contestants to go home are from among the girls of American Idol. And America has decided that it should be Katelyn Epperly and Lily Scott. Katelyn Epperly didn’t give much of a farewell speech, but apparently limited herself to saying the usual: “It was definitely a great experience, and I’ve learned [...] […]
I knew that the results would be bad when Ryan Seacrest started off the show by saying we could be in for a surprise or two. Before the American Idol top 12 were revealed, we were treated with the top 16 singing Michael Buble’s ‘Just Haven’t Met You Yet’. It looked like a reunion of [...] […]
Wayne Coyne, the lead singer for The Flaming Lips, is trying to get Justin Timberlake to star in the band’s new movie. Justin played the bass guitar with the band during Top of the Pops back in 2003. Wayne is looking to tap a number of celebrities for their follow up to 2008’s ‘Christmas on [...] […]
Taylor Momsen recently opened up to Parade magazine on how she has trouble “fitting in”, how she has no interest in being a role model, being a celebrity and her music. I’m starting to get irritated with the ‘Gossip Girl’ actress turned singer for trying hard to be edgy when everyone knows she’s just a [...] […]
Even though he was pretty near to getting the privilege to go home, Tim Urban was saved to sing another day and more than made up for it last night. He chose a pretty hard song to cover, “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, but he did it with flying colors and that got the admiration of [...] […]

The American Idol contestant who seems to have a thing for songs of ages past might have overstayed her welcome this week. Lily Scott’s song choice for last night, Patsy Cline’s “Fall to pieces”, seems to have impressed the judges well enough, but perhaps not the public as well. Ellen DeGeneres commended Lily Scott [...] […]
