Knew that would get your attention!:)Beckham is the latest celebrity to take her kit off for the designer and his business partner Robert Duffy's initiative to raise money for The Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group at New York University — with T-shirts featuring the Spice Girl benefiting the cause.

"Since we have moved to California, I have realized how important it is to practice safe sun for myself and to keep the skin of my three boys well protected as well," Beckham said. "Skin cancer is a huge problem and I really wanted to help raise awareness by taking part in Marc and Robert's initiative."

Posh is in good company — Hilary Swank, Selma Blair, Julianne Moore and Christy Turlington are among the celebrities who have posed for the cause in the past. The $35 T-shirt featuring Beckham will go on sale at Marc Jacobs boutiques this week.

VALENTINO BIDS ADIEU...

Valentino, the Roman couturier who invented La Dolce Vita style, said his final "arrivederci" to fashion at the Paris haute couture season last night.

The designer's ultimate couture collection, his 90th in a 45-year career, was shown in a vast white marquee in the grounds of the Musée Rodin, on the Left Bank, before an audience of 900 which included European royalty, Hollywood stars and loyal customers.

Among the front-row guests were King and Queen Constantine of Greece, the actresses Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu, Dame Vivien Duffield, Lady Bamford and a host of fellow designers including Miuccia Prada, Alber Elbaz and Philip Treacy, the London-based milliner who designed Valentino’s hats.

The 74-piece collection was a romantic cavalcade which marked the end of an era and encompassed all of the designer's favourite signatures, referencing the precision tailoring, the graceful silhouettes and the red carpet gowns which led to him dressing, which led to him dressing, over the last four decades, a who's who of international style icons including Jacqueline Kennedy, the former Empress of Iran, Elizabeth Taylor, Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow and Keira Knightley.

AT LONG LAST! LOUIS VUITTON, BLASON AND PHARREL WILLIAMS

At long last, it is here, the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Pharrel Williams.A little dissapointing, nothing particularly, creative and original. Cherubs and pave??? Come on! Too bad, I was looking forward to drooling over the line. Like most things Louis Vuitton,is it really worth its price tag??Is it truly crass commercialism being passed off as luxury? You be the judge. I bet the party was fun!

"As guests poured into the mansion on Avenue Foch that Vuitton rented out for the party, Miceli, the brand's in-house jewelry designer, escorted friends Mathilde Agostinelli, Lanvin chief executive Paul Deneve, and Sofia Coppola through a maze of vignettes where mirrors and medieval armor creatively displayed the dazzling jewelry--which launches in April, ranges in price from $2,070 to $620,760, and is identifiable by a coat of arms inspired by French Freemasons. "It's like a fun house, but done Vuitton-style," Coppola uttered in amazement as she emerged from the all-black vitrine where strategically placed spotlights cast a distinct ray of light on the chunky "secret society" rings and bracelets, all featuring an LV-logo emblem that flips over to plain pavé. "I love the cherub ring." Pharrell elaborated on the design. "The cherubs I got from the tattoo on my neck because I think that everyone could use a little divine intervention."



JOver in the tightly packed main cocktail room, Yves and Rebecca Carcelle, Virginie Ledoyen, Cécile Cassel, Justin Portman and Natalia Vodianova, Marianne Faithful, Dita Von Teese, and Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger, who made a late entrance from the Boucheron dinner, swilled their glasses of Ruinart champagne as they grooved to the music of deejay Jus Ske while screens played a launch video of the jewelry Williams and Miceli shot that features the music impresario's new track, "Everyone Knows."
"Our collaborative relationship was like a ping-pong game," compared Miceli, who added that Williams brought her books on 1930s Art Deco and Africa for design inspiration. "We're both obsessed with secret societies, and if I was in one I wouldn't tell you!" she laughed.
JIM SHI ...FASHION WEEKLY

DIOR 2008 Couture Collection.

Galliano's lineup what one would call exactly wearable by any woman anywhere in almost any conceivable situation. Rather, once again he indulged in a lavish treatise of possibility marked by breathtaking craftsmanship - make that artistry. The clothes are masterpieces of construction, this time featuring controlled volume, oodles of it, in stiffened trapezes, intricate peplums, huge sculpted roses and any number of high-drama robe à la Française back panels, all embellished with stunningly beautiful embroideries and hand-paintings inspired variously by vintage perfume bottles and the mythical Greek Chimera. But extravagance to the nth degree, no matter how gorgeous its components, can turn oppressive. In fall's Bal des Artistes and last spring's ravishing ode to Japonica, Galliano avoided that trap to perfection, transporting his audience to worlds of wonder. Here his impassioned pursuit of more just felt too much. - read more -courtesy wwd

SOPHIA LOREN - GUESS? NEW MUSE.

GUESS WHO
SOPHIA LOREN is the muse behind this seductive spring/summer 2008 shoot, for Guess diffusion line Guess by Marciano - and you'd be forgiven for thinking it was the lady herself in the frame.
Line Gost, of Wilhelmina Models New York, plays Loren in the "unapologetically sexy, trend-setting, glamorous and playful" images, which were shot by Bryan Adams in Los Angles; even Loren's hair-stylist, Peter Savic, was on hand to help keep the look as authentic as possible. "I am so passionate about this incredible partnership with Bryan Adams.

I have been following his photography for quite a while and waiting for the perfect time to collaborate,” explains Paul Marciano, ceo and co-chairman of the board for Guess?, Inc.
“This project is exactly what we have both been waiting for.
It not only celebrates a fashion icon that I consistently look to for inspiration, but it also brings our campaigns back to our roots - we wanted to reinvent the look and feel of classic black and white Guess ads from the Eighties." (January 22 2008, AM)

Is Asian beauty the new ideal?

Having posted concurrently two posts on the Asian Miss WORLD and the Asian Ford Supermodel of the Year, I begin to wonder" Is Asian beauty the new ideal?." I recently viewed a commercial with an Asian family at the dinner table and thought "I have never seen that before". About time I think, that other ideals of beauty are allowed into the norm.

There have been Asian women on TV, namely Lisa Ling who represents pretty much the stereotypical norm - (Smart Asian woman). The most famous (of Black/Asian origin) who represents beautiful, sexy and fashionable has been Kimora Lee.

Dean Ching discusses this issue of beauty among Western and Asian ideals as he explores a Universal Beauty Standard.

All three components (economic, socil and political) of the social overlay are shifting in favor of Asian beauty. The prosperity and modernity of East Asia and the fast emergence of China from impoverished third-world status to having the world's fastest growing middle class have raised the value of Asians in American eyes.

The vibrant hi-tech cultures of Japan, Corea, Taiwan, Singapore and major Chinese cities like Hong Kong, Shanghai and Guangzhou are associating Asians with the glamour of the future rather than the dubious romance of the past.

If this is not a new fashion trend, it definitely ought to be and it ought to be longlasting.

First Chinese Miss World.... Coincidence?? 2008 Olympics??

It's an odd feeling, waiting to meet the most beautiful woman in the world. There's a certain amount of excitement, obviously, but also some apprehension - a suspicion that like so many Miss Worlds before her Zilin Zhang won't be a patch on the girl who mops the tables at the local greasy spoon. Add to this that Zhang's victory in December came accompanied by dark rumours that it was a stitch-up to coincide with this year's Olympic Games in Beijing - she is the first Chinese woman ever to win Miss World - and the apprehensions grow thicker still.

Six months ago, her life could hardly have been more different. Then she was just an average, if at 5ft 11in unusually tall, Beijing business-administration graduate who was working as a company secretary. 'But somewhere inside my head I had a great beauty dream,' she says. 'Back in 2003, when I was 19, I watched Miss World on television. It was the first year that China had hosted the competition. I thought everything about it was fantastic - the girls, the clothes. And especially the charity,' she adds hurriedly. Miss World has long had a keen charitable side, and every incumbent is expected to devote much of her reign to good works. 'At the same time I never thought I could win Miss World. That seemed crazy to me. But, as I say, that was when my great beauty dream started.'

All I can say is Congratulations.

OPRAH + LOBOUTIN - A match made in shoe heaven???

If you love shoes, you'll definitely get your kicks from this designer. "Tina Turner turned me on to these shoes. I was in her dressing room and she had them lined up," Oprah says.

"I said, 'What, do they all have names?' Yes, actually, they do. Christian Louboutin."His red-hot shoes are on the feet of the world's most stylish women. "My shoes are perfect for the very sexy woman who wants to be elegant," Christian says.

Christian is known for his signature red sole, but he says that idea came to him in a moment of frustration. "The shoe looked unfinished. Something was missing. The girl I was working with was constantly painting her nails so I grabbed her nail polish and put it on the sole," Christian says. "The shoe went totally alive.

You know, the red sole basically became my identity and totally a trademark."Oprah calls Christian's shoes "little pieces of sculpture." That's exactly the point, says spokeswoman Shawna Rose. "It's absolutely art for the foot.

Christian is inspired by many things … anything from daily life from a doorknob to a flower to, as one of the shoes is named, a sea anemone," Shawna says. "He brings that into his thoughts and feelings about women, which he's very passionate about."

Christian Louboutin shoes are so exquisite, they're like works of art for your feet! Every part of every shoe is handmade—right down to its signature red sole.

"Christian likes to say when he designs a shoe it's much more like designing a jewelry collection than it is following fashion," says Christian Louboutin spokeswoman Shawna Rose.

This hot pink pair is a perfect example of that! "The black crystals across the front are like three bracelets laying across your toe," Shawna says. "If you have a black-tie event and all you have is a black dress, then you've got all your accessories in one place."Oprah says she has a place for this shoe, but it's not on her feet. "I would take that shoe out of the box, and I would just sort of have it on the counter," she says. "I'm not kidding, y'all. I would put it on the shelf like a piece of sculpture to look at."READ MORE

Bebe Sport Toasts the New Year

Guests were shuttled into the Hollywood Hills for a private New Year’s Eve party that featured a runway presentation of the Bebe Sport collection and a performance by Angelica Bridges and her pop troupe, Strawberry Blonde.

Guests included “The Kite Runner” actor Shaun Taub, Rex Lee from “Entourage,” actors Jeremy London and Andrew Keegan, and Bebe owner Manny Mashouf.

Models walked the catwalk in Bebe’s sexy sportswear—accessorized with pink barbells and bottled water. The looks were glam—plenty of gold and silver metallics, animal prints and satin. The definition of sportswear stretched from color-blocked athletic tops worn with leggings to micro-mini shorts in leopard print.

Highlights included a strapless romper in black satin, a silver motorcycle jacket and a retro fur cubby. Metallic bikinis came in silver and gold and were paired with a black trench coat or with fleece mukluks. And the models toted extra-large handbags in silver metallic or zebra-print fabrics.—Alison A. Nieder

'Desperate Housewives' Designer to License Her Collection

Cherokee Inc., the California king of brand building in the apparel and accessories world, has signed an agreement with designer Cate Adair to explore licensing opportunities for her Cate Adair Collections.

Adair, the Emmy-nominated costume designer for popular TV show “Desperate Housewives,” launched a line of signature Italian leather handbags on Nov. 19. She debuted them at a private cocktail reception in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills, featuring the leading ladies of Wisteria Lane: actresses Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, Brenda Strong, Eva Longoria Parker, Andrea Bowen and Kiersten Warren.

Adair said she partnered with Cherokee because of the company’s track record with other luxury brands. “They understand the luxury business and how to translate products into more affordable markets,” she said in a statement.
Cherokee, based in Van Nuys, Calif., is a licensor of several well-known brands such as Cherokee, Sideout and Carole Little. —Deborah Belgum

RIHANNA DEBUTS 2nd UMBRELLA COLLECTION WITH "TOTES"

Rihanna will hit New York this fashion week for a luncheon celebrating the launch of her second umbrella (ella, ella) collection with Totes. (I swear I did not know she had a first)
On Feb. 5, the singer will dine at the accessories firm's showroom along with the three masterminds behind the Senz label — Gerwin Hoogendoorn, Gerard Kool and Philip Hess — who will be launching their windproof umbrella collection in the U.S.

Totes will also be debuting its new Eco collection, where umbrellas, gloves and slippers are all made of recyclable products.Rihanna Umbrellas will retail exclusively at Macy's this spring. Prices range from $20 for a slender piece in a single color to $50 for a two-toned canopy style. The word is still out as to whether the star will be gracing fashion week's front rows.

Ella, Ella, Ella!

What recession? Luxury spending on the rise.

Marco Gobbetti, chief executive officer at Givenchy, said gloomy economic data must be "taken seriously in terms of the general outlook for the business, especially in the U.S., but I doubt it will make a difference to haute couture because the clients are not really sensitive to such economic swings."

Several houses, including Chanel, have opened up their tight invitation list to their best international fine jewelry and ready-to-wear customers, eager to tempt them with the world's most exclusive and expensive fashions.

Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel's president of fashion, concurred, calling 2007 Chanel's best year in couture ever in terms of sales, client growth and number of pieces produced, the latter up some 20 percent thanks to hit collections by Karl Lagerfeld with "the right mix between creativity and wearability."
And while executives allow that a euro trading near $1.50 represents a big challenge for luxury brands and a psychological barrier for some couture clients, most houses said their American clientele is still growing and attendance would likely be up next week. In fact, occasional couture clients remain one of the few question marks for executives, who nonetheless remain bullish about the pinnacle of the luxury universe.

Robert Triefus, Giorgio Armani's executive vice president of worldwide communications, said the designer is expecting 300 clients for his Armani Privé show, a 15 percent increase from last season. These include new prospective clients from Australia, the Middle East, Russia, Spain and the U.K., he noted.

Toledano - President of Christian Dior said robust sales of crocodile handbags and elaborate, expensive ready-to-wear in Dior's boutiques are emblematic of a healthy appetite among the highest customer echelons. "These people have high incomes and they want to differentiate," he said. "They want more exclusive products."

Despite a slowing U.S. economy, the subprime mortgage crisis, lower or no Wall Street bonuses and the weakness of the dollar, many fashion houses expect an increase in American attendees this season.

"The American customer of haute couture will continue to buy," Toledano said. "Even with America, we see more of the younger customers. It's a change in generation, but the same need for something exclusive."
According to Lacroix's couture director Marie Martinez, affluent women find couture alluring — and even addictive. "They're interested in the quality and the workmanship. They really look at the fabrics and the embroidery. It's what couture is — very exclusive, and we really focus on that....When you start wearing such incredible clothes, it's difficult to stop," she said.

FORD ANNOUNCES SUPERMODEL OF THE YEAR

New York - In fashion, it's always about the next big thing - and the next "it" girl and face. So it's no surprise that 28 years after its inception, the Ford Supermodel of the World competition is still going strong in order to scout for the world's freshest face.

Fifty finalists from around the world arrived in New York last week for supermodel boot camp of photo shoots, go-sees and walking lessons, culminating in a final runway show in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday, Jan. 16, where the girls competed for a $250,000 contract with Ford Models.

The show kicked off with a Miss Universe-style tableaux of all the models from behind a red velvet curtain, with each girl taking two turns down the runway in two separate looks.
The judges named Korea's Seung-hyun Kang the grand winner.

Though reality TV shows like "America's Next Top Model," have gotten more buzz recently, Ajuma, a model from Kenya who competed Ford's 2004 competition, sees the Ford competition as having more of a direct impact on an aspiring model's career.

"This one is so much better, because you get to the agents directly, from all over the world," said Ajuma. "If they like you, they're going to sign you. ‘America's Next Top Model' is showbiz! You get the real models doing this competition."

Carmen Dell'Orifice, who has been modeling for 62 years, agreed.
"This is authentic," said Dell'Orifice "The ones on television are made for time and space in a very synthetic way to appease the narcissistic, lazy public that has nothing better to do."- courtesy Yahoo News

GUCCI MOVIE ... STILL ON.

Giannina Facio, Ridley Scott's Costa Rican wife and the producer of his upcoming Gucci biopic film, revealed more details about the project on Wednesday night at pal Salma Hayek's dinner for Sergio Rossi creative director Emundo Castillo. The project is currently stalled due to the writers' strike, but Scott seems to have settled on a writer, the third scribe to work on the script.

Facio said that while she was the one who read the biography and showed it to her husband, she defers to him on all creative matters, including casting, which hasn't happened yet.

Isaac to save Liz Claiborne Women's

I am sure everyone knows it by now. Isaac Mirahi formerly of Isaac Mizrahi, then Isaac, then Target is now the new designer for Liz Clairborne. This move, I know is designed to reduce the stuffiness and boringness (YAAAAWN) in the Liz Clairborne line. The line was designed originally " not for old women" but seems to have somehow become stagnant and stuck in a rut and become for old women". If anyone can fix this problem, it is Mr. Mizrahi.

Mizrahi is leaving Target Corp. — the venue that introduced him to the mainstream customer — at the end of this year and will become creative director for all categories of the better-priced women's Liz Claiborne brand, beginning in spring 2009.

William L. McComb, chief executive officer of the $4.99 billion Liz Claiborne Inc., told WWD that the "long-term" deal — the brainchild of Dave McTague, executive vice president of partnered brands for Liz Claiborne Inc. — has been in the works for months."Dave walked in the door with a charter to fill the emotional vacuum of the brand," McComb said. "Liz Claiborne is an extremely well-known, well-regarded brand that failed to deliver on the core values that made it great in the first place: color, fit, value and style. The turning point was when Liz Claiborne died [in June], and we got lots of calls and letters from consumers who didn't know she hadn't been working here since 1989."

Claiborne is hopeful that Mizrahi can bring his fashion wit and color sense to the struggling women's collection.Mizrahi's appointment follows Monday's announcement that John Bartlett will design the Claiborne men's sportswear line, under the label Claiborne by John Bartlett, also launching for spring 2009.

Unlike the men's line, the core Liz Claiborne collection will not be called Liz Claiborne by Isaac Mizrahi, though his association with the brand will be clear on the labels."Isaac is an international icon," McTague said. "He not only knows this woman, he adores her. His core values are so perfectly aligned with our core brand: fit, color, comfort, value, fun and a uniquely American brand."

Apparently, Liz Clairborne has suffered declining profits in the past few years. "It's a great move for Liz Claiborne, and a huge loss for Target," said Black. "They couldn't have picked a better person. Isaac really understands this customer, and he has done the high-end and really done a great job targeting it to the mainstream market. I would bet he would be doing lots of personal appearances once they have the product out. With him designing it, the line could be pretty great."

I look forward to seeing what he has in store.

PETA DISRUPTS HONG KONG FASHION WEEK

Two women from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an international animal welfare group, suddenly stood up in the middle of the seminar attended by 100 people from the fashion industry, chanting “Fur is Murder”.
They struggled to unfold banners reading “Fur Hurts” before being pinned down by security guards and dragged out of the room.
Once outside, the activists stripped off to reveal two banners - on their front and back - that read: “We'd rather go naked than wear fur” and “Turn your back on animal cruelty”.

Here’s what PETA Asia Pacific’s Rebecca Chui had to say about it:
“We want the Fashion Week attendees to know that fur means cruelty to animals. They suffer terrible pain from the time they are caught. Some of them are skinned alive. Some are killed by poisoning, gassing or anal or vaginal electrocution. We are in the 21st century and there is fur substitute now. There's no excuse to kill any more animals.”
Asked for comment on this statement, the Hong Kong Fur Federation called it “extremely regrettable”—by which I can only assume they meant “bad for business.”

We welcome your comments on this topic. Would you wear fur?

EBONY MAGAZINES 10 HOTTEST COUPLES.

Ebony Magazines 10 hottest couples issue hits the newstands to day. A little sighing and a little drooling and then I get over myself. Here are a few, and then you have to get your own magazine.

From Kimora and Djimon to Russell and his new love, Porschla, to Tracey and Eddie, his ex-wife, Nicole, and his ex-mate Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown and her new hubby, Stephen Belafonte. Learn what these and other celebrity couples said about their relationships. “We started dating immediately, and pretty much moved in together right after that,” says Russell Simmons about his new love, yoga instructor Porschla Coleman. “It happened very quickly.”




Russell Simmons and Porschla - Simmons, arguably the most creative, successful, and respected African-American entrepreneur of the moment. He has built a career--and incubated a vast array of businesses--on the simple premise that the music and culture of today's urban youth have broad commercial appeal across the United States and around the world. As hip-hop has blossomed in Iowa, Connecticut, and Paris, so too have Simmons's wealth, power, and influence. "I consider him one of the great entrepreneurs out there today," says his pal Donald Trump. "He's a fabulous guy with a tremendous understanding of business."

DEBBIE DICKINSON JUMPS RIGHT BACK IN.

Who is Debbie Dickinson? Janice Dickinson's obviously quieter (also model) sister of course. She took off to Paris after her sister in 1975 and worked for the Elite Modelling Agency.

After more than 30 years away from the business, she recently signed with Click founder Frances Grill and resumed her modeling career. Grill rediscovered Debbie when the veteran model, playing a talent agent, imitated her in the upcoming movie "5up 2down" directed by Stephen Kessler. Her first job back from retirement was a bathing suit campaign for Keiko Swimwear.
I wonder why she just did not sign up with the "Janice Dickinson modelling agency".
