She’s gone from curvey catwalk queen to skinny supermodel but it doesn’t seem as though this is enough for Sophie Dahl.
The model has landed herself a cooking show and the first episode of The Delicious Miss Dahl, aired on BBC Two this week.
The show sees Sophie following in the footsteps of Nigella Lawson, cooking up a range of rich and yummy treats, which would no doubt add a few pounds to our waistlines, still, Sophie has inspired us to give them a try. We’ll keep you posted on how we get on in the meantime watch the clip below and let us know if your attempts to make an omelette a-la Sophie work.
And last night we got all excited when we saw the yummy mummy to-be staring alongside the likes of Twiggy, VV Brown and Lisa Snowden in the TV ad.
However whilst we couldn’t keep our eyes off the floral and nautical themed outfits our other halves were watching intently for other reasons. We didn’t want you (or your man) to miss out so we had a little gander and found a video for you to watch. Take a look below for all the fashion fun. We’re sure you’ll agree it’s a must-have watch.
It was the collection we were all waiting for; the late Alexander McQueen‘s final range during Paris Fashion Week. Unfortunately we couldn’t be there, but we’ve heard and read that it was an emotional, yet beautiful display.
The sixteen outfits shown were 80% finished by the time of McQueen’s death last month and the final touches were administered by Sarah Burton, who worked alongside McQueen for sixteen years.
They were themed around a medieval idea with angels and demons as well as images and influences from Renaissance and Byzantine art.
There were brocades, billowing capes, ornate gold leaves. We’ve found a slide show of some of the designs, which we hope will give his last collection the justice it deserves.
We know London Fashion Week is well and truly over for another season, and although we managed to bring you news of many of the shows we failed on the Topshop front.
Therefore to make up for it we’ve managed to get hold of the much coveted catwalk show.
The theme for the highstreet store’s A/W2010 catwalk was animal and ethical with models walking down the runway in a range of animal print masks.
According to to Jacqui Markham, Topshop Joint Head of Design, the collection was inspired by two elements; camping in the woods and the other a twisted Narnia environment.
We know you’ll love the video as much as we did and for once we’re actually looking forward to the autumn.
Yesterday we bought you coverage and a round-up of Burberry’s much awaited London catwalk show, where the brand wowed us with aviation style jackets, furs and flimsy dresses.
However, we know that reading about it isn’t quite the same as seeing it for yourself so we’ve managed to get hold of a video of the show, which was streamed live yesterday.
Have a peak and let us know what you think about the styles by leaving your comments in the box below.
This morning we reported that Agyness Deyn took two falls during the Fashion for Relief runway show on Friday night. And we admire her courage for getting right back up there the second, and the third time, where she took her shoes off to complete the walk.
It’s not the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last that a model has fallen over on a catwalk. And ironically it’s Naomi Campbell, who fell over at a Vivienne Westwood show in 1993, that stays in our mind.
We’ve got hold of Agyness’s big fall video, which shows how the model actually fell and we think her get up and walk on attitude is a perfect one to follow. We’ll be doing the same thing next time we slide and fall over because of that pesky piece of ice.
Stella McCartney’s SS2010 advertising campaign is one that really stands out this year. The designer has created a range of ads based on the old and new, and each and every one is striking.
So we were really excited when we were given a behind the scenes video of the shoot starring model du jour Natalia Vodianova.
We love watching these videos, which really give an idea of the atmosphere of the shoot, and if this is anything to go by, it seems both Stella and Natalie had fun, even sharing a few private jokes in between shots.
Lara Stone has barely been out of the spotlight this year due to her high profile campaigns for Louis Vuitton and a number of magazine spreads.
And her personal life has also caused huge waves with the model announcing her engagement to funny man David Walliams last month.
However, today she’s racking up the column inches for her modelling and acting work starring in the new advert for Versace’s Versus fragrance.
The 30-second clip shows her dancing in a room full of mirrors with flashing pink and purple lights in the background. Sounds like our ideal Friday night.
Celebrities turned out in their droves last night to attend the premier of designer, come director Tom Ford’s debut film. Single Man, which stars Colin Firth, is set in Los Angeles in 1962 at the height of the Cuban missile crisis. It’s based on a gay professor struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his partner.
He dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters, ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after the death of Jim.
The film, which has received fantastic reviews was watched by Mr Firth and his wife Livia Giuggioli, Lily Cole, Elizabeth Hurley and Kelly Hoppen to name a few. Watch the video of the premier last night with interviews by the stars and also a sneak preview of the film.
A Single Man will be out in cinemas from 12 February.
Kate Moss has officially launched her range of bags for Longchamp.
The model who was accompanied to the launch in Paris by fiance Jamie Hince showed off the collection, which includes the Rock’n'Casual, Rock’n'Travel and Rock’n'Glam, during a glitzy party at the Ritz.
We’ve also managed to get our hands on a video showing all the behind the scenes footage of the Lonchamp campaign. We’ve got our eyes firmly on that zebra print bag.
Have a look at the video below and tell us which bag takes your fancy.
We were excited about the first part of Sonia Rykiel’s collection for H&M, which came out last year, and managed to get our hands on enough lingerie to keep us going into 2011.
However we can’t wait for the second part, which focuses on knitwear and is out on the 20 February.
To taunt us that little bit H&M has put together a video , which shows how the collection was made and what we can expect to see on the shelves once we’ve finally pushed our way through to the front.
We’re already in love with the bright stripped jumper dresses and our sleeping bags are waiting patiently by the door.
We gave you a first glimpse of Pringle’s SS2010 campaign staring Tilda Swinton and now we’ve got our hands on the promotional video too.
Despite our hopes that the campaign would be fun, the video says a different story, it features Tilda walking across the beautiful Scottish landscape and ending up in a cave wearing different outfits.
And although its not fun, it’s laid back, depicted by Tilda’s lack of footwear, and just a tad eerie. However it does make for riveting watching and the cinematography is amazing.
Where’s there’s good, there’s always bad, and that was no different at last nights Golden Globe awards. While many celebrities shone on the red carpet others didn’t, namely Lindsay Lohan.
The unsuccessful Ungaro Creative director showed us once again why she should steer away from a sketch pad when she turned up to the awards after party (as our readers have pointed out) in what can only be described as a sparkled hoodie frock by Brian Lichtenberg .
However, while it was Lindsay’s choice to turn up in a bad frock, spare a thought for Chloe Sevigny. While on the way to collect her award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (for her part in Big Love), her Valentino dress was ripped as a result of the usher who had escorted her up the steps treading on it.
However we think she handled it quite well. View the video below and let us know what you think.
January is the month where many of us vow to get fit, or look at quick fix solutions to banish and hide that post Christmas bulge.
If you’re someone who has chosen to take up the first option and sign up to the gym, then you’ll know the importance of having proper sportswear instead of using those old tracksuit bottoms, which have a habit of falling down every two minutes (or is that just me?).
There is a range of good and fashionable fitness wear in the shops, however if you want to go that step further and be a designer gym bunny, there’s only one collection to buy. Yes, you’ve guessed it, Stella McCartney’s Adidas range.
We got quite excited when we saw a glipse of the new SS2010 range last year, which is due out in February. However, if you missed it, we’ve got a video showcasing the latest must have gym wear, which now also includes Triathalon and cylcling wear too.
Stella said: “This collection continues to be a great success, and I’m very excited to introduce Triathalon and Cycling as new categories.
“I’m always trying to push myself and this new collection has everything you need in sports today; it’s sleek, stylish and super sporty!”
Ever wondered how a big ad campaign comes together? Well take a look at this video with behind the scenes footage for Lara Stone’s shoot for Louis Vuitton.
It was only last month we showed you the gorgeous pictures of the star who took over from Madonna as the face of the brand, and many of you agreed she looked stunning.
We love seeing how a shoot comes together from the selection of clothing to the hair and make-up and, in this case the birds. And we promise this video does not disappoint.
