Is David Beckham's H&M underwear range the nadir of celebrity design? - The Guardian

Image
Man about town ... an Emporio Armani underwear advert in San Francisco, featuring David Beckham. Photograph: Kevin Sam/FilmMagic.com Does David Beckham 's upcoming underwear range for H&M represent the nadir of celebrity fashion ranges? Angela, by email I'm sorry, did you say "fashion ranges", Angela? Ce n'est pas un range! C'est une collection une collection de la mode! Personally, I'd have thought the story about stylist Rachel "OMG, so three years ago!" Zoe getting a walk-in closet for her baby Skyler who can't actually walk yet would have been the nadir of the week. Well, that and Skyler's pair of baby driving shoes from Tod's , when he can't . . . oh, y'all can finish that sentence for yourselves. In any event, you must never doubt the capacity of the fashion/celebrity nexus's toxic centre to plumb ever greater depths (and news that Zoe is, inevitably, now designing a fashion range for babies proves that the

Rihanna likes bedroom domination

Image
The 'S&M' hitmaker - who is currently single - is happy to be forthright and forceful in her everyday life, but says when it comes to sex, she wants to be treated "like a lady". Explaining why she likes a man to take charge, she said: "I play a very dominant role in my life, in every aspect of it. And I like to feel like a lady still, at some point. "I feel like that's the time when a guy really gets to be a man, and I get to be a woman. And if I'm being a man in the bedroom too, there's nothing really in it for me." The red-haired beauty also spoke of her frustration that she can't act like a "rock star" and have more fun in her career because she is a role model for many young girls. She told the September issue of America's Glamour magazine: "I want to set the right example and, at the same time, live my life..I feel like pop stars can't be rock stars anymore because they have to be role models, and it takes

Seated with the grown-ups ... blogger Bryan Grey-Yambao (third from left) joins Vogue supremo Anna Wintour (third from right) in the front row. The front row has traditionally been reserved for fashion's elite but now there's a shaking up of the pecking order as they face competition for the best seats from bloggers. Perez Hilton became a celebrity in his own right after starting his famed gossip blog in 2004, which now gets several million hits each day. But it was only when he started his fashion blog, Coco Perez, and that he could be seen in the front row at international runway shows. ''Bloggers are very influential in the fashion world these days, whereas a few years ago they weren't invited to fashion shows, now they're not only there but they also have great seats!'' he tells S. Bloggers are a relatively new phenomenon in the crowded arena of fashion journalism and they are quickly becoming go-to sources for information. Founder of the London-base

Live from the catwalk - The Canberra Times

Perez Hilton became a celebrity in his own right after starting his famed gossip blog in 2004, which now gets several million hits each day. But it was only when he started his fashion blog, Coco Perez, and that he could be seen in the front row at international runway shows.

Bloggers are a relatively new phenomenon in the crowded arena of fashion journalism and they are quickly becoming go-to sources for information. Founder of the London-based style blog 5 Inch And Up, Sandra Hagelstam, says fashion blogs are an evolution of the industry: ''Blogs are not necessarily replacing the content of a magazine but it is in a way stealing the readers, as many look for quick updates, everyday - instead of waiting for a weekly or even monthly magazine.

Selena Gomez Concert at the OC Fair

Image
So on Sunday I went to the Orange County Fair to see Selena. It wasnt the best timing for me, but I had already paid for the ticket back in February so I figured I better take advantage. I had some time to explore the fair before the show and I saw the cutest baby cow. <3 Also, prior to the actual show, I got word that Disney had invited some various actors to the show including Adam Irigoyen (Deuce, Shake It Up), Caroline Sunshine (Tinka, Shake It Up) Bella Thorne (CeCe, Shake It Up), and Stefanie Scott (Lexi, ANT Farm). I saw all of them, but Bella is the only one who come close to where I was. And I already met her so I didnt try knocking people over to get to talk to her. xD So then it was actually time for the show! It was a huge amphitheater and I was in the 14th row back. Not too bad I think. Not as good as the last time I saw Selena, but then again, I didnt have to stand in the sun for six hours either. Selena did a total of 18 songs! Thats the most Ive ever seen her do at o

Celebrity Gardeners: Nicole Farhi's garden - Daily Telegraph

Farhi, 65, grew up in an apartment in Nice, in the south of France, before moving to Paris to study fashion. It wasnt until she moved to her current home 33 years ago that she acquired her first garden. Four years later she founded her eponymous fashion label, which celebrates its 30th anniversary next year. Her designs for next spring have a floral theme, which she researched by taking lots of photographs at her favourite nursery, Tendercare, in Denham, Buckinghamshire. Her own garden has practically no flowers 'I prefer the different tones in green shrubs although there are muted colours throughout: a pink 'Kent' rose in the border nearest to the house, a large white Hebe albicans and white H. subalpina on the right in front of the conservatory, and a white camellia, which was a wedding present to her and David Hare in 1992 from the director Sir Richard Eyre and his wife, tucked away by the steps leading down to the lawn. Camellias also line the driveway at the front of

Celebrity Gardeners: Savannah Miller's garden - Daily Telegraph

The daughter of a 'gardening-mad mother, Miller, 32, has only recently felt herself attracted to the horticultural life (Nick was in charge of their Devon garden). 'Sometimes I worry that Im hitting middle age early, she says. Making up with enthusiasm for what she lacks in time, she has tried to make gardening a family pursuit. To that end, she has designed a new garden at the side of the house, which has been her main focus for the past year. From a terrace featuring a sandpit, tastefully covered with a folding wooden top, steps lead up to her most prized creation: a small edible garden, with a domed willow house for her children (a third is due in November). A pond surrounded by grasses and wildflowers is filled with fish. The emphasis here is on sustainable living. Inspired by Alys Fowlers BBC series The Edible Garden, in which Fowler attempted to live off the fruit and vegetables from her own plot, Miller planted a vegetable garden, all (with the exception of the berries)
