Friday Fun: HIT Kigu Care Bear outfit

Comments (0)



CAREBEAR.jpg


We've seen a lot of funky and weird fashion this week over here at ShinyStyle, especially when it comes to Lady Gaga and some of the Oscar 2010 outfits. However, nothing beats this Care Bear outfit - not even Lady Gaga's coke can roller.

We have to admit we did have to double check it wasn't some kind of early April Fools joke when we saw it. But it's not. It's a real life Care Bear outfit!

However, unless you have an 80s cartoon fetish (good luck trying to get your other half into this), or are brave enough to wear this set, complete with a moulded care bear face hood and front rainbow design, out to the pub, we think this outfit is purely just for fancy dress.

Gather your friends and create an 80s themed party, complete with He-Man, My Little Pony and Thunder Cats. We'll bring the party rings shall we?

It seems today is a day for singer and designer collaborations. Hot off the news that Amy Whinehouse is teaming up with Fred Perry comes the announcement that queen of pop Madonna will also be collaborating with Iconix Brand Group Inc.

The singer will be teaming up with the company behind labels as Badgley Mischka (a favourite with Dame Helen Mirren) and Candie's (as modelled by Britney Spears) to launch her MG Icon Range of clothing.

And her first foray into the design world will be a Junior Range, w aptly named Material Girl, which will be sold in Macys from August, and includes clothing, footwear, bags and jewellery.

However, we won't have to be struggling to get ourselves into these, as next year the designer will also be creating something for the "grown ups" and will extend her range to beauty and fragrances.

Amy and Fred.jpg

It's official. Amy Winehouse is designing a fashion line.

According to WWD, the queen of the beehive, heavy eyeliner and erm, drinking, is teaming up with sports brand Fred Perry to create a capsule collection of 17 items including skirts, capri pants and two piece suits, not forgetting Fred Perry's statement polo shirts.

Although the sketches suggest Amy has predominantly gone Back to black (and white), we've also spotted a few Pringle style golfing design frocks and jumpers in there too in pink.

Richard Martin, Fred Perry's marketing director, said: "Amy has been wearing Fred Perry for years, so we were aware she was a genuine fan of the brand.

"We had three major design meetings where she was closely involved in product style selection and the application of fabric, color and styling details. Amy gave crucial input on proportion, color and fit. The range clearly has Amy's handwriting."

The first part of the collection will hit shops in October this year and we really hope for Amy's sake it's a success.

Alexander McQueen high shoes

We're big fans of Lady Gaga's fashion over here at ShinyStyle, but not when it causes health concerns.

According to reports in The Sun, Miss G caused cabin crew to become alarmed on a flight to America from London when her striped yellow and black tape dress complete with Alexander McQeen heels caused her legs to begin to swell.

They feared her symptoms could be the early stages of deep vein thrombosis and begged the star to change.

An airline source told The Sun: 'GaGa was a high-risk DVT case so she was advised to change out of her clothes. But the outfit was so cumbersome she needed help changing out of it. She was particularly miffed about ditching her heels. She was wearing them in memory of her friend Alexander.'

Oh dear Miss G, there's fashion victim, and then there's just plane (sorry) stupid.

First it bagged Kate Moss to front campaigns, then Lily Cole and Georgia May Jagger, but it doesn't seem Rimmel will be stopping the celebrity campaign front anytime soon.

The British make-up brand has just announced that at kooky actress Zooey Deschanel, Solange Knowles and model Alejandra Ramos will be joining the Rimmel clan to front campaigns and be Rimmel spokeswomen.

The move comes as the brand attempts to conquer China, Japan, India and Latin America.

Coty president, Renato Semerar, said: "At a time of extraordinary worldwide growth for the brand, these three strong, successful and uniquely beautiful women will help ensure that Rimmel London's image continues to be modern and globally relevant."

We can't wait to see the campaigns.

Lindsay Lohan for Purple Magazine.jpg

Lindsay Lohan has been surrounded by controversy for a good few years now with the press covering every aspect of her "wild child" lifestyle. She's been in rehab for drink and drugs, had a much publicised relationship, and fall out, with DJ Samantha Ronson and she's also been accused of copying designer's creations, not to mention her disastrous attempt at designing for fashion house Ungaro.

So we're a little bit torn about this cover for Purple Magazine where Lindsay poses as Jesus. Standing in white with a wreath around her head and in a position reflecting the cross, Lindsay looks ever inch the innocent model.

However, we're not sure whether the shot, photographed by Terry Richardson, is designed to stir up some controversy or if it's Lindsay's way of telling us she's turning over a new leaf.

Tell us what you think by leaving your comments below.

Lindsay and Ungaro sacked.jpg

It seems as though the relationship between Lindsay Lohan and the design house Emanuel Ungaro has come to an end.

Lindsay was employed as the creative director of the brand last year, but after a disasterous fashion show at PFW in September, there was alot of uncertainty whether or not she would stay on And it seems she's not made the cut.

Ungaro owner Asim Abdullah told WWD backstage at Paris fashion week earlier this week:
"She's not involved in this collection."

Lindsay who did not turn up to the show on Monday also told reporters this was because: "Because I don't work for them anymore.

"There's legal things going on; I can't really discuss it," she said.

lalita store selection.JPG

With our heads being in the Oscar clouds we've almost forgotten everything else that's going on around us, most importantly Mother's Day.

If you're still struggling to find something as special as your mum to give her on Sunday then you may be pleased to hear that vintage store Lalita has launched just in time to help you out.

The online store specialises in vintage fashion accessories from the 1930s through to the 1980s and you can pick up one off items such as a Chanel handrolled silk edged scarf for around £50.

But remember becuase they are vintage, once they're gone, they're gone.

wenn5376526.jpgIt's usually the trends that dictate red carpet outfit choices, but this year actor and activist Danny Glover has introduced ethics into the mix by asking attendees not to wear Hugo Boss suits to tonight's Academy Awards.

The Lethal Weapon star has sent a letter to nominees and presenters asking them to boycott the designer on behalf of workers at the company's plant in Cleveland, who will lose their jobs if the factory closes at the end of next month as planned.

The letter, dated February 26, asked the film industry to "take a small stand for American workers" by shunning the designer, who has disputed reports that the closure will leave almost 400 workers jobless. Glover has also asked stars to wear lapel pins on the red carpet, reading "Keep the Hugo Boss Plant Open".

We're sure that the stars will be keen to support a noble cause - but with less than two weeks to rethink their outfits, we'll be interested to see if Boss makes a controversial appearance on the red carpet tonight...

Lady G Jonathan Ross.jpg

It doesn't look like Lady Gaga's fashion fun is going to end anytime soon, in fact it seems to be getting more outrageous the more time she spends in the UK.

Not content with lobsters on her head the singer turned up to film the Friday Night with Jonathan Ross show (due to be aired this Friday) with an old school Telephone hat on her head.

We know she may be trying to promote her "Telephone" single but maybe the singer went a little bit too far this time, especially when you consider her goldfish bowl shoes, although kudos to the singer for being able to walk in these.

Although we can't be sure rumour has it that Miss G also continued her phone fetish by dancing around a telephone booth.

We'll be cancelling our nights out or setting our boxes to record to catch this episode. And remember, next time you want to do something 'hip' there's never a telephone box too far away. Get that iPod and those dancing shoes out and head to your nearest calling point.

Danielle Scutt.jpg

It's had a range of designers from Christopher Kane right through to Kate Moss, and it doesn't seem Topshop will be slowing down anytime soon.

The highstreet store has just announced it will be teaming up with London Fashion Week designer Danielle Scutt who will produce a capsule collection of dresses, tops and accessories.

Danielle says: "I want the wearer to feel confident and inspired by wearing my clothes as I believe this collection will comfortably enable the Topshop customer to be elegantly and comfortably dressed from daybreak to nightfall."

This isn't the first time the two have collaborated, Danielle also designed a range for the store back in 2008, which as you can imagine was highly successful.

We say get yourselves down to Topshop as soon as the collection hits shelves on 7th March 2010.

It's good news for ladies that love their designer trainers because the Gucci Icon-Temporary Flash Sneaker Store is Coming to London.

The Pop-Up Sneaker Store steps into the capital in April with Gucci's limited edition range of sneakers, including the 'Gucci Ronson Sneaker' which has been designed by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini and award-winning musical artist Mark Ronson especially for us London girls.

The store will open for three weeks in Covent Garden's Seven Dials from the 22nd April 2010. It will feature 17 exclusive sneaker styles in the GUCCI ICON-TEMPORARY collection, incorporating classic Gucci design signatures, such as the GG logo or a stylized version of the iconic Gucci red and green web detail.

Each design includes silver or gold metal dog tags as well as an embroidered 'Limited Edition' label inscribed inside the shoe. And for those of you who like to get personal there is also an opportunity to have your initials embossed onto a customised leather tag on the shoe laces.We'll see you there ladies.

Could the stringent modelling rules gradually be being broken down? Not only have we seen a huge array of plus size models on the catwalk (thanks Mark Fast) but it also now seems disabled women are getting a chance to pose in front of the camera too.

In a first for highstreet stores Debenhams has announced it will use 32 year old Shannon Murray who has been confined to a wheelchair, since breaking her neck as a teenager for its display window photography and also online. Joining her in modelling for the 'Principles by Ben de Lisi' range will be Kate Fullman, a size 16 model, Tess Montgomery, a petite 5''4 model, and Tokumbo Daniel, a size 10 model.

Michael Sharp, Debenhams' Deputy Chief Executive, said: "We cater for women of all shapes and sizes, young and old, non-disabled and disabled, so we wanted our windows to reflect this choice."

Could this be the catalyst for more stores to begin using "normal" girls? We really do hope so.

Lady gaga.jpg

It seems everybody wants a bit of Lady Gaga, and even animaters are getting on the bandwagon.

According to the rumour mill Miss Piggy's character in the forthcoming Muppet movie, currently titled The Greatest Muppet Movie Ever Made, will be Lady Gaga-inspired.

"Miss Piggy ends up becoming like a Lady Gaga-esque character living in Europe," a source said. "Kermit ends up being destitute and the main characters find him living in squalor."

We're not sure if this is a massive compliment or an insult to the wacky Lady although we can't help but think she bought it on herself after arriving with Kermit the frog as her date to last year's Video music awards.
