Models Turned Music Artists

Jack White with Karen Elson

From models turned actresses and vice versa, we now have models turned music artists. With the earlier news of model Irina Lazareanu’s (album debuting this Fall) and Nadja Auermann working on a music career, it is easier to grasp that former model Karen Elson (and wife of Jack White of The White Stripes) is also currently pursuing a music career. Also on her plate, the opening of her Nashville vintage boutique in which she plans to sell everything from Ossie Clarke to Valentino couture.

It is soo easy for these girls to do what they want once they have made a name for themselves in the biz, all about the people you know (or are dating, rumor has it that Irina and Pete Doherty are getting cozy). Her album is being produced by Patti Smith, in collaboration with Sean Lennon, and word is circulating that performance outfits will be courtesy of Mason Martin Margiela, Balenciaga, and Ann Demeulemeester, how convenient!

Last Nights Party: Purple Anthology Launch

Edited by Saynt

The Purple Hounds were out in full force on Tuesday as la creme de la fashion creme hit Colette in Paris to celebrate the launch of Purple magazine’s first “Purple Anthology”.

Collette’s Sarah Lerfel revealed her fondest memory of Purple,  “I actually once did an internship at Purple, but it was more about art then,”

The night was filled with the usually edgies, including Victoire de Castellane, APC’s Jean Touitou, a tattooed Omahyra Mota, and Irina Lazareanu, who turned up in a pair of stapled Viktor & Rolf slacks.

Irina has an album due to hit our shores in Septemeber, she collaborated with Pete Doherty (remember she was in Pete’s video for I’ll Kill Him in which she kills him. Classic. It’s down below.) on a few songs and the record was produced by Patti Smith.

“All we need to do is get Sean [Lennon] and Patti in the same town and make sure Pete’s not in prison and we can get rolling.”

The big news of the night was an announcement by Purple editor Olivier Zahn who told WWD that his next major project is the Chanel Mobile Art magazine, when it hits NYC. He’s also expanding the Purple empire with an office in our Empire city. That’s right folks, Purple’s coming to NY. Expect wild parties with the likes of folks you openly hate, but secretly love.

Designer: Who Am Eye

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Who Am Eye is the brainchild of two Melbourne boys Johnny Leong and Glenn Cameron. Founded in 2005, after both men decided to express themselves through fashion they asked themselves, Who Am Eye? Johnny and Glenn must have intended the question to be rhetorical, as they subsequently answered it, with an astounding first collection for Autumn/Winter 2006 and have been going non-stop ever since.

The notorious “addict” t shirt from AW08, featuring Pete Doherty, is synonymous with the label and its straight shooting attitude.

The new collection “Love will tear us apart” for Spring/Summer 08/09 is inspired, just like all their previous work, by “Love, Heartbreak and Death….”.

It also sees them significantly expanding the range to include their first foray into women’s wear.

S/S 08/09 collection brings a new feel to menswear, with the super slim and super sexy “Sad Story Jeans”, which is a luxurious stretch denim blend in wax coated black, fast becoming a staple of hip Melbournians wardrobe.

The unisex “Doppelganger” Hooded Jacket is a Nylon/Poly/Cotton/Metal blend, which adds a metallic sheen to the garment, just like the vests seen on the catwalk for there RAFW parade, which received outstanding reviews from all those at the show.
Who Am Eye has a bright future, it was notable from their first collection that they were onto something good. This seasons pieces, added to an ever expanding collection will only further cement their status as a force to be reckoned with in the future!

MOVIE: Amy Winemouse Officially Makes Me Want To Adopt a Brit

Edited by Saynt

Can you hear that sexy little accent? I don’t understand what they fuck they are saying but Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty have just made me want to adopt a Brit, and not one of those needy, crying baby types, but a full grown emaciated adult who’s addicted to meth and a lethal doses of cocaine that is cut by mixing the root drug with WD-40 and Aqua Net. Precious.

I don’t want these people to go away so I hope they don’t accidentally OD anytime soon. Thank god Mr.Babyshambles found someone new to leech off of, cause I was really worried he was out of the picture once Kate dumped his ass for bringing home a weak batch of powdery goodness.

I don’t want to prematurely ejaculate this out there, but can a Amy & Pete reality series be in the works. I don’t have any sources for this shit, but I would be willing to pay to see these people doing their own thing for about an hour a day.  Hell, I’d even buy the sex tape if Pete ever gets those mice and that pesky Blake out of the picture.

Please, Please, Please Make Babies

Edited by Saynt

Why does this look so flippin sexy to me? I want them to procreate and fill the earth with millions of little fuck ups who make shitty music.  Amy seems a little surprised but don’t worry Pete she’s just playing hard to get. Slip a couple grams of coke into her cocktail and she’ll be taking fucking your ass in rehab in no time.

Surely, this was some geniously devised attempt to get press coverage. These two are like the Heidi and Spencer of the cracked out cult. Love it. Love it. Love it.
