THE TEN: Best Celebrity Clothing Lines

Edited by Princess Glover

Celebrity clothing lines are a dime a dozen nowadays, having become so unreasonably commonplace that it might be safe to say you’re not a real star unless you manage to churn out one (though you couldn’t even dress yourself without the help of a professional). I’ll be the first to say leave it the ones who know what they’re doing, but I will also say that there have been a few, very few that not only have managed to stay relevant as far as fashion is concerned, but exemplifies the true spirit of design: originality, creativity and quality–a rarity amongst the famous. Here are the exceptions:

1. Elizabeth and James by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen- because they don’t try so hard.

2. L.A.M.B by Gwen Stefani- the shoes are beyond dope.

3. J.Lo, Sweetface by Jennifer Lopez- even though Sweetface went belly up, she’s the one that started it all, and don’t act like you’ve never owned (or wanted to own) at least one pair of her jeans or one of those ghetto fabulous velour sweatsuits. Guilty.

4. Kate Moss for Topshop- a fashionista’s wet dream

5. House of Harlow by Nicole Richie- hate the girl, love the jewelry.

6. Benjamin Bixby by Andre 3000- gettin his grown man on.

7. Twenty8Twelve by Sienna Miller- Does she still qualify as a celebrity? Nonetheless spring/summer 09 is looking pretty good…

8. Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony- hipster chic at its finest.

9. The Victoria Beckham Collection- this shameless clotheshorse knows her shit.

10. William Rast by Justin Timberlake- I think we were all surprised that this didn’t turn out as bad as we had assumed.

SPREAD UM: Chloe Sevigny for ELLE, June 2009

Edited by Andy Wass

Chloe Sevigny posed for an under-the-radar, but great editorial in the June 2009 issue of ELLE (Megan Fox cover).

While we’re all tired of reading that the secret to great style is mixing high and low, I always like seeing it in action, especially when Kate Lanphear is doing the styling.

Lanphear draws on a tamed-down ’80s supermodel aesthetic – in the Carrie-Bradshaw-wears-a-big-blazer-as-a-dress kind of way, and luckily not in a magenta spandex kind of way.  

Keeping the looks true to Chloe’s personal image, the spread mixes basics from American Apparel, The Gap, and Express, with pieces from Alexander Wang and 3.1 Phillip Lim.  Lanphear, typically heavy into accessorizing, decorates Chloe with luxury belts, detailed leather boots and bags, and statement jewelry.

As If There Aren’t Enough Tragically Hipster Photos of Chloe Sevigny

Edited by Princess Glover

Nonetheless, prolific photographer Mark Borthwick’s new book, Not In Fashion is an artful, sensory stimulating collection of unconventional photos which, incidentally, features a then 21-year old version of the indie ingénue, amongst other quirky and well-known celebs. It was during the ‘90’s, while helping then-fledgling magazines like Purple, Self Service and AnOther, that Bothwick first began integrating elements of architecture and design, developing a very personal and intuitive style that can still be seen today. This book showcases over 200 images from his best fashion editorials, celebrity portraits, and advertising work, displaying his ability to turn a stationary photo into a fluid performance. Borthwick’s work is not only about the movement of the model, but the beauty of accidental clutter, which is as important to his images as the garments. Not In Fashion also features excerpts from his personal journals, which mainly consist of Polaroid’s, sketches and notes on shoots, revealing the inner workings of a photographer’s mind.

Who better to rock some Chloë than Chloe? The leggy Ms. Sevigny showed up to celebrate the opening of a new Chloe boutique in Los Angeles Thursday night.

To co-host the event, Chloe wore a navy blue pant suit with scalloped shotrs and a white blazer with scalloped lapel, both from the Spring 2009 collection.

DESIGNER TO KNOW: Print Liberation

Edited by Corey Moran

Print Liberation recently recieved a purchase from yours truly, as I fell in love with their amazing tee shirts. The shirts are very political and deal with the God awful economy that we are all stuck in right now. The shirts are whitty and cheap, and I can’t wait to get mine! Get one for yourself on their website!
