Beckham’s Signature New Fragrance advert

31 August 2008 2 Comments

The Beckham’s have a new fragrance called "Signature," and its due out this September. Earlier this week, Victoria Beckham was at Harvey Nichols in Manchester promoting ‘Signature For Him and Signature For Her’ by Harvey Nichols. Below is the ad Campaign. While only Victoria was present at Harvey Nichols this week both David and Victoria Beckham are featured in the Television advert.

What do you think of the advert? Will you be buying ‘Signature For Him and Signature For Her’? I think the ad isnt revolutionary but its sexy and sophisticated. I will post some of the print ads for the Beckhams "signature" ad campaign later today.

Eric Daman from Gossip Girl – The most Influential Stylist on Television

29 August 2008 No Comments

Many of you might not know who Eric Daman is. However, I bet you have seen his work before. Eric Daman is the man responsible for styling the cast of Gossip Girl. He ensures that they keep up an image fitting of New York’s upper East Side. From Chuck’s Bright coloured coats and signature scarfs, Blair’s preppy ensembles to Vanessa’s Bohemian style. Eric Daman is the brains behind this style masterpiece. I think Gossip Girl has made a huge impact on style today, no other show currently airing is as big of an influence on style as Gossip girl. I was really pleased to find this little gem while surfing Youtube. Its a short video about the Eric Daman and his role on the TV show.

Kate Moss in Solid Gold! – Supermodel gets a golden statue

28 August 2008 2 Comments

Kate_moss_gold_sculpture_statue_mar Kate Moss is  solid gold…Literally. Artist, Marc  Quinn has created a gold sculpture of Kate Moss that is valued at £1.5 million ( that is about $2.85 million dollars). The Statue is entitled Siren and it is not the first time that Marc Quinn has immortalized Kate Moss. He has previously made statues of Kate in Bronze and plaster.

In reference to the  gold statue of Moss, Mr Quinn said, "I thought the next thing to do would be to make a sculpture of the person who's the ideal beauty of the moment. But even Kate Moss doesn't live up to the image"

This sculpture is said to be the largest gold statue created since the times of the Ancient Egyptians.

The statue will be part of an exhibition called Statuephilia  that will go on display at the British Museum from October 4th to January 25th.

Project Catwalk Canceled?

26 August 2008 6 Comments

Project Catwalk goes Bye Bye

Project_catwalk_cancelled I have been reading on the blogs that Project Runway seems to have lost its steam this season. Ex Project Runway  Winner , Christian Siriano has even been quoted as saying " it sucks." So it wasn't much of a surprise when i read today that the British version, Project Catwalk, has been axed. In my opinion   Project runway never really caught up with its American counterpart.

I imagined the British Version as the knockoff version of the American version.  For example the host of both shows.  The American Version has Heidi Klum while the British version ( Project Catwalk) has Kelly Osbourne. Now don't get me wrong Kelly Osbourne's sense of style has  improved from her day's when she featured on Blackwell's worst dressed list. I Just didn't think she was a right fit for the show, They should have picked someone who had more of a legacy in fashion, maybe  Naomi or Kate Moss ( The host didn't even have to be someone British). 

Bye Bye Project Catwalk!!!

Brandon M Perry – Confessions of a male model

24 August 2008 7 Comments

Brandon_perry_2

Brandon Perry is a New York based male model. He hasnt been modeling for long but since he started modeling he has worked with some of New York's best photographers.  You might even recognize him from Shermaine Jeremy's  music video for her hit single "I came to show you" or maybe you've seen him modeling on the Wendy Williams show. Expect to see lots more of Brandon Perry. I could so envisage him in GQ or Krave magazine. The shocking thing is that  Brandon isnt signed to an agency yet. ( note to agents snap him up quickly , while you still have a chance)

Brandon_m_perry_2_3 1.Tell us a little about yourself – (where you grew up, your life now – anything you wish to tell)

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY.  I grew up poor but my family didn't let me feel like it at all.  I have such a supporting cast of people around me and for that I'm really thankful.  Even now I feel like I have a safety net of supporters around me. I guess that just comes with choosing whom you want in your inner circle


2. How did you get involved in modeling?

My cousin Danielle pushed and pushed AND pushed me to model.  I was so hesitant because I never thought I could exude that confidence it takes to really work the camera.  One day she got me to come up to New York and do a shoot with her as the photographer.  I took one look at those pictures and knew this is where I needed to be.

London Fashion Week Spring/ Summer 09

23 August 2008 2 Comments

Famous Irish playwright Oscar Wilde famously said,

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."

Well that time is now upon us. In 3 weeks time, London Fashion Week Spring Summer 09 will be upon us. It runs from the 14th of Septemeber to the 19th. I personally Enjoy Spring/ Summer collections more than Fall/Winter collections. So as far as I am concerned  London Fashion Week Spring/ Summer is the pinncle of  The British fashion calendar.

I took a look at the schedule  of London Fashion Week and it looks JAM-PACKED. Some really great designers are showing there collections. One show that I'm particularly looking  forward to at London Fashion Week is adidas by Stella Mccartney.  For those of you who havent seen the line before. Its really fashionable sportwear with very feminine cuts. In other words its what I think  Blair Waldorf ( Gossip Girl) would wear if she did sports.

I've liked adidas by Stella Mccartney ever since I saw there ad campaigns. There always really pretty and have and ethereal quality. Below is an one of their ads on NYmagStella_mccartney_adidas_2

London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 09 will debut all of the trends for next years summer season so stay tuned to this blog as we will be keeping uptodate with all thats going on at Fashion Week

Harmony Moniz – Confessions of a Las Vegas Headliner

22 August 2008 1 Comment

Harmony_2

Harmony Moniz can dance, act and model. On top of that she can SING! Shes a Las Vegas girl with Big ambitions and she has got the talent to make those dreams come true.

Harmony_moniz_2_3 1.Tell us a little about yourself – (where you grew up, your life now – anything you wish to tell)

I was born and raised in Las Vegas. I loved growing up in Vegas! I am so used to everything being 24/7, that when I go to other places and things are closed early, I’m like
"woah! what is wrong with this place!?" ha ha. I have always known what I have wanted to do from an early age. My idea of fun as a child was making up shows to perform for people. All throughout high school, my friends would get mad at me for not wanting to party and go out. I was always content at home writing lyrics, and working on my goals in life. I am a very goal-oriented girl, and it is very important to me to reach my goals. I never want to wonder, "what if?". I won’t stop until I am satisfied (which may very well be never ha ha).

2. How did you get involved in modeling?

Modeling was never something I really considered pursuing. It was by coincidence that it happened. I am a headliner in a show in Las Vegas called "Fever". One of my cast members danced for an agency, and she talked me into doing it for extra money. I went in to sign with the agency for dancing, and they started offering modeling jobs to me. I ended up loving it! I love being in front of the camera! With modeling, I get to be something different everyday. I get bored easily, so it work perfect for me.

London Fashion Update:I was just reading the Blay report and I saw some new  Yves Saint Laurent featuring Supermodel extraordinaire Naomi Campbell. The ads are appearing in New York Subways and are for the fall/winter Yves Saint Laurent  collection. I like the couture pose with the hunched shoulders and as usual Naomi looks stunning. Thumbs up to YSL, Naomi Campbell and Stefano Pilati. The ads look very simplistic  but very elegant.
