Guess everyone is currently obsessed with gray hair…from Kate Moss to the above pics of Cheap Monday’s Fall 2010 show. Loving the white face makeup.

Kate Moss gets caught in a threesome in the pages of Harper’s Bazaar’s March issue.

On why she doesn’t consider herself a fashion designer: “I’m not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I’ve never been to design school. I can’t sketch. I can’t cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.” (more…)

First there was two, now there are eight. Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Daria Werbowy, Lara Stone, Janeil Williams, Natalia Vodianova, Kristen McMenamy, and Amber Valletta are the naked girls featured on the cover of the latest issue of Love Magazine. Apparently, this was done to prove a point: that all these girls have very different bodies, which is why they also printed their measurements. First of all, comparing Lara Stone’s body to that of 40 year old Naomi Campbell just seems unfair. Second, these ladies are models for a reason, they are all similar in proportions, tall, slender, long legged, with smaller breasts. Third, I might need to get my eyes checked, but in the above covers the girls seem very similar in shape…

What do you guys think?

Celebrity branding is a marketing strategy as old as Julius Caesar’s stamped coins. Masses recognizing superstars catapulted sales of their preferred brands. This interweaving between fashion houses and celebrities is something we grew up with but is it still working? No, not like it used to. Today sophisticated, role modeled celebrities are respected and sought after over the superficial, self-centered ones.

Our world believes in limited resources. Opulence and extravagance are no longer a sign of prestige but seen as insensitive and arrogant. Are we praising Victoria Beckham’s $800,000 Italian shopping spree?  What counts today is the intrinsic value, social and environmental sustainability of our fashion choices. We are becoming responsible and selective. I call this fashion wisdom.

This decade is shifting our focus towards an ethical consumption. Gone is the ‘bling-bling’ era that held its crown for the past 18 years. It has been replaced with a discreet fashion. The logo mania of these past trends is now seen as an eye sore. Gucci, Louis Vuitton, YSL are a few who understand this and carefully designed subdued pieces in their past few collections. Superficial and ostentatious designs are out!

People now care about the small details. Where it is made, how it is made. Fashion wisdom is oozing into the mainstream and it is no longer exclusively about the celebrity. Consumers are taking a more active approach with their purchases. Some fashion houses still try their luck with these types of pretentious and insubstantial celebrities only to have media disasters. Let’s see what Kate Moss will come up with at Longchamp. Lindsay Lohan’s gag reflex fashion show debut for Emanuel Ungaro…

Lara has taken advice from Kate Moss and got herself engaged (to David Williams), after only four months of dating.

Kate elaborates on the first collection and her inspirations (loosely translated from French):
“The emerald green pochette, whose color I love, I wanted to be very simple, based on the shape of an envelope. I would wear it with all black or all navy. Because I love to wear dove grey, I wanted a bag in that color to go with my grey jeans. The zebra was inspired by an old pony printed valise from the ’70s that my boyfriend [Jamie Hince] brought back from San Francisco, very dry, very trashed, without any glamour, and which I loved. As for the bags in cognac leather, it’s a color and a very supple leather that we found in equestrian accessories stores, and we unfortunately can no longer find.”
The collection won’t hit stores till Feb. 11. ? (more…)

Word on the blogs is that Kate Moss got engaged to her rocker boytoy, Jamie Hince this weekend.

Apparently Jamie flew to Kate’s Caribbean island getaway on her 36th birthday on Saturday and popped the question.

Jamie had some major help shopping for the ring. Sir Philip Green, owner of Topshop, was on hand to help him choose the right engagement ring. (more…)

WWD is reporting that Kate Moss will be designing for Longchamp. The model has appeared in the four seasons of Longchamp ads so it makes sense that they finally make her work for her money by putting her name on some overpriced handbags.

Kate Moss was voted the number 2 villain in the UK by a poll created by Virgin Media. Weird that the Brits would title a cocaine snorting, anorexia supporting, fashion designer wannabe a villain. Here we just call it Lindsay Lohan.

The model who’s been getting blasted by fatties for her “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” quote is looking to make some additional enemies. The motherly model was spotted wearing this massive fur ball while shopping in England. Let the PETA hate mail commence.
