Louis Vuitton Puts a Luxe Spin on the 1980s Trend

2009-10-10T23:13:00.000-07:00

LOUIS VUITTON made headlines recently thanks to their celebrity endorser Madonna and her Met Gala bunny girl outfit (and those now infamous bunny ears), which was described by the L.A. Times as "the love child of Tinkerbell and Captain Hook," by TV tabloid Insider as an "Alice in Wonderland Louis Vuitton mess," and apart from a few die-hard fans of her Madgesty, deemed across the board as a "fashion disaster."

Scarlett Johansson’s Dolce & Gabbana Ad!

2009-02-01T00:11:00.000-08:00

Scarlett Johansson channels Marilyn Monroe in her latest campaign for the new Dolce & Gabbana makeup line.

“Scarlett is sure of herself,” designer Stefano Gabbana told WWD. “She’s a beautiful girl, but she’s really easygoing. She is very Dolce & Gabbana.”

When describing the makeup line, Stefano added, “We see makeup as another thing for women, like a dress. We worked on the makeup line like we work on a clothing collection — you can change makeup like you can change your clothes, depending on your mood. We wanted to create makeup with a scent. Domenico and I remember when we were children and opened our mother’s handbags — the scent of her lipstick trailed out. I observed that when women open makeup, they smell it first.”

Cuban Designer Dresses Michelle Obama for Inauguration

2009-01-23T20:21:00.000-08:00

Fashionistas were delighted when Michelle Obama unveiled her inauguration outfit - a sparkling golden dress and matching coat designed by Cuban-American designer Isabel Toledo.

According to Women's Wear Daily, usually hot on the latest in fashion, Mrs Obama had also chosen another Cuban-American designer, Narcisco Rodriguez, for the black and camel-coloured attire she wore on Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial.

Mrs Obama's straight and slinky dress, topped with a patterned diamante, collar-line, glittered in the winter light Tuesday as she embraced outgoing president George Bush and his wife, Laura, when she and husband, Barack Obama, arrived at the White House before the swearing-in ceremony.

She presented a gift to Mrs Bush before entering the White House with her husband who wore a black suit, white shirt and red tie.

The new first lady of the United States often wore Toledo's creations during the presidential campaign. Toledo launched her label about 20 years ago after having worked for fashion house Anne Klein.

Mrs Obama, 45, has already been named a fashion icon by magazine editors, fashion designers and a flurry of bloggers. Her fashion sense first took centre stage when she was photographed by Vogue magazine in autumn 2007.

She can also shift seamlessly between avant-garde designer labels, including Chicago designer Maria Pinto and New York designer Thakoon Panichgul, and mass market brands such as H&M, J Crew and Gap.

During the train ride the Obamas took from Philadelphia to Washington on Saturday, Mrs Obama's birthday, she wore a black coat by French fashion house Sonia Rykiel.

Jessica Alba was looking ravishing in red for Campari’s new calendar launch in Milan…turning men red with lust and women green with envy!

In the calendar Miss Alba oozes nautical sophistication showing off her gorgeous curves in a number of skimpy outfits.

The Fantastic Four beauty is pictured sipping the beverage surrounded by Italian hunks, who no doubt enjoyed being in Jessica’s company.

It’s hard to fathom that she only gave birth a few months ago, as her killer body soon made a comeback, lucky devil!

She looked stunning in a red Dolce and Gabbana satin embellished dress and matching red strappy wedges.

These sandals are something special with their Terry de Havilland ‘esque wedge, enviable rope strapping and chrome detailing. Not only are these fab wedges simply gorgeous, but they’re not even available to buy yet!

Alba accessorised with vintage Ruby and Diamond earrings and bracelet. Her hair was styled in a neat up-do showing off her new blunt fringe. The red lip color rounded off her avant-garde red carpet look perfectly.

It seems that the Campari calendar, shot by legendary fashion photographer Mario Testino, is a limited edition of only 9,999 copies. It will be a collectable luxury for the lucky few that receive it, available at the end of the year.

2008-12-03T16:35:00.000-08:00

Pamela Anderson has reportedly signed a six-figure deal, to become the spring/summer '09 face of Vivienne Westwood.

Although the fashion house is yet to confirm the deal, Westwood herself stated when asked, 'I can't speak about it yet. But anything I would say would be completely positive.'

Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source claimed that the campaign has already been shot in LA. 'Vivienne and a team of stylists and photographers jetted to Los Angeles last week to shoot Pammie,' the insider divulged.

The deal is rumoured to have come about after Westwood met the Baywatch babe at a party last year, and took an instant liking to her 'quirkiness'.

Anderson then made a bizarre appearance at the designer's London Fashion Week show in September, when she arrived with a masked man to take her place on the front row.

Louis Vuitton Wins Copyright Case

2008-08-31T19:33:00.000-07:00

Fashion giant Louis Vuitton has won its battle to stop stars like Britney Spears, rapper Da Brat and American Idol winner Ruben Studdard from using its logo.

Bosses of the French brand sued Sony BMG Music Entertainment executives after their artists posed with the LV monogram in promotional material.

And on Thursday (31Jul08), after five years of legal wranglings, the fashion company was awarded an undisclosed out-of-court settlement.

Sony BMG heads have promised to "educate its record labels" about copyright laws, according to the New York Daily News.

And Louis Vuitton's representative Nathalie Moulle-Berteaux says, "We believe the terms of this agreement will provide strong protection to our brand worldwide."

Several pop stars have used the fashion firm's logo in their videos: Spears rode in a Hummer with an LV monogrammed dashboard in her 2006 Do Somethin' promo; Da Brat had a beachball sporting the LV logo, and Studdard used the design on his album cover for 2006's The Return.
