The sold-out fashion-music-art block party was a huge success with indie band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros playing on the main stage.

The Billabong runway fashion show was inspired by the VH1 Save the Music Foundation with looks that paid homage to some of the brand’s favorite artists like Mick Jagger, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, and Jimi Hendrix.

The VH1 Save The Music Foundation created a one-of-a-kind guitar installation onsite with signed instruments that went for auction. Four Taylor guitars were donated from musicians Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Natasha Bedingfield, My Morning Jacket and David Cook. All of the proceeds from the auction and ticket sales went to Save The Music.

“I’ve been collecting for 45 years and I’m only 40,” Reynolds told the auction audience, followed hopefully by a well-timed rimshot. The dress, acquired by Reynolds in 1971 when 20th Century Fox sold off all of Marilyn’s wardrobe, was expected to sell for $2 million.

The actress amassed some 3500 items over those four decades in an effort to preserve the luster of Hollywood’s Golden Age. However, failing to find a museum ready to take the collection as a whole and driven into debt by its upkeep, Debs sold over 600 of the collection’s effects off this weekend during a 12-hour auction.

Among other items sold:  the red sequined gown and feather headdress Marilyn wore in 1953′s Gentlemen Prefer Blondes for $1.47 million; Elizabeth Taylor‘s riding clothes from 1944′s National Velvet for $73,800; Charlie Chaplin‘s bowler hat from the “Little Tramp” films for $135,300; Gary Cooper‘s uniform from 1941′s Seargent York for $67,650; Grace Kelly‘s dress from 1955′s To Catch a Thief for $450,000; Judy Garland‘s dress and ruby slippers from a screen test for 1939′s The Wizard of Oz for $1.75 million; Rudolph Valentino‘s matador outfit from 1922′s Blood and Sand for $258,000; and Audrey Hepburn‘s ascot dress from 1964′s My Fair Lady for $3.7 million.

Photographer John Fisher shares his Rant on the Celebrity Boom in Fashion

What follows is an opinion in the form of a rant, a very emotional rant. As Deep Throat said during Watergate, “follow the money!”

Celebrities (and they are not celebrities, they are actresses, plain and simple) are the crack cocaine of the magazine business, and withdrawal will be painful. Let’s understand what has happened, and I repeat these are not “celebrity” covers. In the day, the fashion models WERE the celebrities, and Hollywood hated this. They were spending millions to make movies, and more people (a lot more people) could name a famous model (Cindy, Linda, Naomi, Christy, Tatyana, Claudia, et al. ……….) than could name a movie actress. How to solve this problem? Go to the big fashion magazines (one in particular) and buy the cover. The cover of the big (for the most part, American) fashion magazines are now an advertising page, sold for big money to pimp a movie. Check this out, when you see an actress  (so called celebrity) on the cover, look to see what movie is opening that month, and who is the lead actress.

If these were “celebrity covers”, driven by an intense interest in “celebrity culture”, then they would be random celebrities. But they never are (or Angelina would be on every cover!), it is always a movie actress opening a movie that month. Is this just a coincidence? Oh sure, movies cost millions to make, and more is spent on the advertising then is spent to make the movie. So it’s just a “coincidence” that Reece Witherspoon (a celebrity that everyone is just so interested in!, Like, didn’t her name come up in a conversation just this morning?) is on the cover of Vogue the same month that “Water for Elephants” is opening? For God’s sake, I picked up a “fashion” magazine several months ago and Tina Fey was on the cover. Surprise surprise, Tina was opening a movie that month (I didn’t even know she did movies).

These covers are no longer editorial content, they are paid advertising posters for the movie industry, and have nothing to do with fashion. Watch “September Issue”, the documentary about making the September issue of American Vogue. Five months out they already know who is going to be on the cover. Best picture? Best editorial? No, some uncooperative actress who refuses to even fix her hair and doesn’t fit the dress. But when the movie company pulls the money strings, the magazine jumps. Disgusting. The amount of (obvious) retouching that had to be done to get a cover shot that was even remotely acceptable was simply mind boggling (and remember, this the September Issue, the most important issue and cover of the year).

I could go on and on about how this is affecting fashion and it’s place in our popular culture, why this is a disaster pure and simple. But it is the crack cocaine of the industry, once the magazines got hooked on the revenue stream, it may be impossible to move away. Someone is leaving (and soon won’t be soon enough), when this happens it’s possible that the painful withdrawal will begin, and fashion in America will reclaim it’s covers, and it’s rightful place in our culture.

Brad Pitt is king of versatile, and the man can pull off any look. Spanning styles from an entire century in Benjamin Button, sporting dingy second-hand finds in Fight Club, and shifting to chic in Meet Joe Black – Brad owns any look he dons. He teaches us to dominate the clothes we wear, instead of letting them upstage us.

Hollywood’s indie fashion expert, Johnny Depp has schooled masses of men in fedoras and Bohemian scarves.

George Clooney knows that to dress like a movie star, you shouldn’t try to dress like a movie star. Always understated, never overdone – Clooney reveals that simple sophistication is key to formalwear.

Matt Damon is a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy. Yet, he never looks like a fratty college guy. Fitted tee and dark tailored jeans, Damon maintains his manliness.

Master of modern prep, Chace Crawford demonstrates the art of urban cool.

Who doesn’t like James Franco? The guy looks like James Dean, freely offers goofball smiles, and wears well-tailored jackets like this one. A timeless leather jacket is the first step towards looking like a big screen superstar.

Josh Hartnett embraces the artsy actor inside. You can see Josh strutting the streets of NYC in easy trendy looks like this one. Josh never tries too hard. Neither should you.

Ryan Gosling knows a suit’s fit is really more important than the label. It’s not the money you spend on it; it’s how you wear it.

Robert Pattinson sports plenty of stylish looks. But let’s be honest. It’s the hair that separates this English actor from that other guy in Twilight. Never forget the hair.

Ryan Reynolds is another leading man with adaptable style. You could wrap a burlap sack around the man; he’d still look like a baller. In the end, it’s Reynolds’ never-waiving confidence that allows him to land Hollywood beauties like Scarlett Johansson. A confident gaze is the essential finishing-touch for any ensemble.

“We have upgraded our website to high-fashion status with the finest photography and styling,” ROMYGOLD designers and founders, Lisa Goldstein and Romy Jagid said. “Our new look combines the chic uptown girl with downtown cool. In keeping with our sophisticated yet edgy designs, high-end leathers and fashion forward clientele, we created a cleaner and more modern logo that remains reminiscent of the original one.”

Since the original launch in 2009, ROMYGOLD has garnered attention from some of Hollywood’s most famous names such as Fergie, Selena Gomez, and Kim Kardashian and has been picked up by retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Intermix. Each bag combines style, everlasting shapes, subtle detail and the highest quality, distressed and embossed leathers.

Let’s not blame the dress, maybe if she were a bit taller and had a bit more curves in the right places.

Just because Dakota played a promiscuous crazy drug addict twenty something year old along side Joan Jett in The Runaways does not give her permission to actually think she’s that age in real life.

She should stick to making amaze fashion statements with clothes in her age range, thoughts?

The GUESS store on Hollywood Blvd was lit up with stars this past Wednesday night for a T-shirt launch party. Guests included Andy Garcia, Dominik Garcia-Lorido, Holly Robinson Peete, Jessica Lowndes, Sasha Barrese, Alison Sweeney, Molly Burnett and Casey Deidrick, Danielle Fishel, T-Shirt Designer Ella Marciano, GUESS CEO & Vice-Chairman Paul Marciano, and special musical guest DJ Mathieu Schreyer.

They were all there to celebrate to the debut of a new line of GUESS charitable T-shirts designed to make a difference in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, October. 100% of the net proceeds are going to benefit Santa Monica-based Sojourn Services for Battered Women and their Children. The T-shirt, only $24, features words of inspiration drafted by 16-year-old Ella Marciano – Hope, Love, Courage, Strength, Community and Empower are designed in the shape of a heart, the symbol of love, and the graphic is penned in purple, the universal color of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

It’s great to see people with power in the media stand up for such a great cause. You can show your support by getting the shirt at GUESS.com

Stefano Tonchi can now add Cathy Horyn to his shit list. The Times fashion critic ripped Stefano a new one in her biting review of the new (and far from improved) W Magazine basically stating that the only thing promising about the magazine is “the energized new logo”. Ouch.

Check out Cathy’s review below…

I don’t expect W to deal directly with realities like joblessness or stressed European bankers or the emerging clout of
Chinese consumers, but surely there is a need to put stylishness in a
new context — beyond Hollywood and art, which is Mr. Tonchi’s comfort
zone.

…With a number of articles in the new W, I wondered: Why am I reading this? What’s the big picture? The Tisci profile, for one,
covered all the bases, but ultimately it’s another story about a young
design maverick at an old Paris house. Why does he matter and what’s
changed, if anything, because of his fashion? Over all, the perspective
of the magazine was small-frame. W doesn’t need more stuff to read.
Rather, it needs a clearer, more authoritative reason to read it.

Guess you can’t win them all, right Stefano? Wonder how the review will affect newsstand sales of the Conde Nast publication.

What Does W Stand For? On the Runway/NYT

One of the stars who is now gaining mainstream acceptance in Hollywood is critically acclaimed British actor Tom Hardy, now seen as The Forger in the blockbuster “Inception.” Riding the wave, Men’s Health magazine is running an interview and a stunning photospread with the actor in its latest issue – and it’s a must-read by all counts.
Though his fans must certainly know a lot about Tom, larger audiences may not, which is precisely why all those who liked him in Nolan’s film should not miss out on this interview. In it, Hardy talks about anything and everything, from his life as a young man having just found fame and money, to why he believes hard work counts more than talent in his line of work, and his son.

“There comes a point when the world will stop rewarding potential and talent, natural gifts,” Hardy says when the question of his potential comes up. “There’s only so long that people will put up with the potential of working with someone who could be brilliant… To be told ‘Tom could do it’ was enough.” There comes a point where if you want to participate at a certain level in anything, you cannot just turn up and be respected. We all want to be recognized by people that we recognize. And a lot of the people who I think are brilliant – and who I want to be more like – work their expletive-ing expletiveoff, constantly… Over time, technique wins over natural ability. People who work hard, with constant application, determination and tenacity – although they may not be as interesting, or have as much flair – will win,” the actor says.

He also goes into the details of his past struggles with substance abuse – he was addicted to crack cocaine and alcohol, but has been sober since 2003. Life was very much a rollercoaster for him back then so, to this day, he continues to be amazed by how he didn’t contract some disease or, even worse, ended up dead after a night – or more – of heavy partying. The way in which he’d plunge into this lifestyle is partly due to his fear of failure, he tries to rationalize. Be that as it may, the reason why he’s no longer living like this is to be found in a little boy being born: his son.

“Louis arriving was an absolute godsend. Children need things. Not want things. Want and need are two different things I have always mixed up. When Louis came along he was like, ‘You can’t think about you! I’m here!’ It separated a lot of my selfish behavior,” the actor explains. For the full interview and the stunning photospread, pick up the latest issue of Men’s Health.

Every time I walk into Urban Outfitters, I feel slightly out-cooled by the hip clothes and accessories. And now that they’ve collaborated with New York jewelry designer Jules Kim of Bijules on a set of bad-ass, rock ‘n’ roll rings, I feel even less cool by comparison.

If you’re craving gold, go for this BJ by Jules Kim Pinky Nail ring ($125). Yes, that is the coolest use of a fingernail you’ve ever seen.

What’s the inspiration behind the SS11 collection?

The life and writings of Ray Cannon and the Golden Age of Baja California. 1947-1977.

What are some concepts, movements, era, people, music etc that have impacted the design of the collection and why?

In 1947 only a single, 70-mile highway paved the Mexican peninsula from Tijuana to Ensenada. A pre-tourist era, before luxury hotels, resorts, and sport fishing fleets. This is where Ray Cannon left a successful Hollywood career, for a legendary fishing romance in unspoiled Mexico.

Spring Summer 2011 draws inspiration from Ray’s sport fishing columns on the Sea of Cortez for Western Outdoor News, and the rustic palette of local ox carts, cacti, sunsets and sailing canoes.

The desert palette revisits washed out sun-drenched colors of red dust, turquoise and chalk blue, contrasted by a more refined black and white delivery.

What do you expect will be some key items in the collection?

Vintage cut Japanese selvedge denim is introduced into the collection.

Gross Baboon of the Year Front Runner

Not that I didn’t predict this, but Mel Gibson has put the final nail in his own coffin…and all I can say is, “Toodles, you psychotic nut bag”. Listening to the chilling tape of Mel ranting to the mother of his newest baby, whom he has recently clocked in the jaw, I agree with Oksana Grigorieva when she says to him that he needs medication. However, the only the medication I would prescribe to that anti-semite is arsenic…to put him out of his misery once and for all. The pity here is that Hollywood has continued to go back to him for more, showing their spinelessness. Perhaps now that the movie-going public…a.k.a. $12.50 per head…has gotten wind of his evil antics, they will cut all ties. Alas, we ain’t heard the last of him, trust me. Some right-wing producer will come running to Mel’s side “in the name of salvation” and he will be welcomed with open arms by the Tea Baggers. Look, they need a celebrity endorsement, right? Maybe Mel could run as Vice President alongside Sarah “The Other Self-Righteous Zealot” Palin in 2012. Let’s face it, they’d make a great couple.

Anita Bryant got her just deserts….where it belonged.

Here’s what I love about Mel Gibson, and any other self-righteous celebrity ass like Anita Bryant, Ted Haggard, Jim Bakker, or the many Republicans currently in office like Sarah Palin: They know that “the Lord giveth and then taketh away”. (NOTE: That quote comes from The Ejaculatory Prayer. Get where I’m going here?) Anyhoo, when celebrities lives get all convoluted because of their desperate need to be seen and heard, coupled with their pathetic attempt to spread Godliness like venereal disease, is when they get a good dose of God for themselves. And not in the way they were hoping. Every scandal that involves one of these maroons ends up with them begging for salvation…in public…on television…sobbing.

Ted Haggard on his knees…what else is new?

This is why religion should always remain a personal, private matter. Ask any recovering addict, spirituality is an inside job. That’s why God is invisible. If he wanted to be seen and heard, he’d have his own talk-based/reality show running on several channels, like an Oprah meets The Kardashians hybrid.

Extreme, statement-making shoes make the woman.

If you routinely go the safe route on your footwear choices (and, by safe, I mean simple plain black pumps or modest, solid-colored flats), you’re just not living. Or at least not setting yourself apart.

The fashion world is obsessed with over-the-top shoes. The crazier, the scarier, the stranger, the better. And, because fashion is a business, it means women’s appetite for extreme footwear is increasing by leaps and bounds.

Sky scraping platforms. Metallic belt-buckle over-the-knee boots. Shoes that resemble the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Shoes that look like bloated armadillos. Cowboy boots that threaten to topple you over backwards. Torturous spikes. Spinal stilettos. Garter belt lace-ups. Stilettos festooned with feathers.

For fall, 2010, ski bindings and interior design materials like plywood and Formica marry to create Baleniaga’s high-heeled, color-blocked loafers. They are absolutely nuts! And you’ll no doubt see them on some Hollywood It creature come red carpet events later this year.

Riccardo Tisci’s Givenchy fall lineup includes an impossibly complicated pair of red lace-up booties that have tiny bumps not unlike some deep sea monster.

Women have been pushing their tootsies into torturous footwear for thousands of years, beginning with the Chinese custom of breaking and binding feet into the shape of a pointed lotus bud. Bizarre footwear is always associated with the erotic and the fetish. And being attractive is an advantage that has always outweighed any pain women have had to endure.

Cut to modern day and the story is the same. Stilettos are uncomfortable and make walking difficult, not to mention what it does to your posture and spine. Still, we women persist. Why? High heels make a woman taller, force her to arch her back and push her chest forward and hips back. The goal here is an accentuated female form because men love an accentuated female form.

Problem is, height and attractive qualities are relative. So if everybody wears heels then who has the advantage? Why, alpha shoe mavens and their designer enablers who up the ante season after season. A girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do. And this year, it may not be a man she’s after. It may be a job. It is the recession, after all, and being memorable is priority number one.

How high can we go? As high and as crazy and as dangerous as we can….that is, until some clever girl decides to set herself apart by wearing simple plain black pumps or modest, solid-colored flats.

You know that I’m all about the creative and funky side of fashion…..some of it though, for viewing purposes only. I actually like all of the shoes featured, but don’t wear really, really high heels….I stop at about four inches (however, there are always exceptions). Often, I find that it’s easier for me to wear a four inch wedge or chunky heel (such as the gorgeous pair by Sonia Rykiel), instead of a stiletto; I like the extra ankle support. This Robert Clergerie bootie is the type of wedge that I favor.

The up-turned toe of the sole, provides a type of “rocker effect; I find it more comfortable to have my toes in the an upward position versus slanted straight down. Speaking of up-turned toes, The Jean Gaultier shoe is an extreme example. I love the color and tooled leather design, but I’m really not feeling the whole “toe thing.” At first glance, they remind me of so many of the western style, ankle boots that were so popular last season…..I didn’t really care for those either.

Janice Dickinson was spotted at the exclusive Soho House in West Hollywood yesterday.

“The World’s First Supermodel” was recently named one of the worst faces in a poll by cosmetic surgery advice group The Good Surgeon Guide.

(Other celebrities who made the top ten included Iggy Pop, Jodie Marsh, Donatella Versace, David Gest, Cher, Pete Burns, Mickey Rourke, Jackie Stallone, and Melanie Griffith)

Earlier this year the model took a swipe at Tyra Banks, saying, “She’s huge. She’s a big woman. I used to think she was a man. I used to look at her and think, ‘Something isn’t right here.’”

The two worked together on “America’s Next Top Model” before Tyra allegedly fired her after Dickinson labeled her “fat.”

The latest collection from my friends at Dazzle Me Formal is one I’m super excited about. The Smooth Criminals collection is based on the faces of Hollywood that were part of famous domestic abuse incidents. I know that may sound a bit harsh, but it focuses even more on the idea that they are normally kept quite and the repercussions are minimal.

The line features two of the most famous battered couples in the Hollywood, Madonna and Sean Penn, and Chris Brown and Rihanna. The distressed look of the shirts is really awesome as well.

Want one of these for yourself? Get one here!

I think there are very few people who watch more movies than I do, and Fashion Indie is looking to compile a list of some of the best styled movies of all time. So we figured we would ask you indies to start. Don’t necessarily think blockbusters either. Some of the less popular movies have the best styling. So let’s hear it!

Thanks for the photo Fabulousness!
