Claudia Schiffer is proud of every piece in her new fashion collection

By emilyborrett on August 16th, 2011

Claudia Schiffer has spoken out about her brand new cashmere collection to say how proud she is of each piece.

The collection, which was a collaborative effort between the supermodel and knitwear brand Iris von Arnim, includes a range of granddad cardigans, knitted dresses and boyfriend jumpers – each of which Claudia designed with her own tastes in mind.

Claudia told Hello! magazine: “When deciding to launch my cashmere collection it was important to create something true to my personal sense of style and aesthetic, where I would want to wear every piece and be proud of what I was offering to other women. The model also revealed that her inspiration behind the cashmere collection was the woodlands that she walked in as a child in Germany. “My inspiration is the forest and its dark side. It’s not about the cute fox, more the fox eating its prey and pebbles lying on the forest floor that could turn out to be spiders.”

This new project means that Claudia won’t be returning to the catwalk anytime soon, as she wants to devote all her time to the new knitwear venture. When asked about the lack of plans to return to modelling, Claudia said: “I’d much rather be working on this new project anyway. I want to meet all the press and buyers personally – it’s that kind of project.”

A catwalk without Claudia is like a day without sunshine! Come back to us soon.

Claudia Schiffer won’t return to the runway

By Andrea Petrou on March 8th, 2011

Claudia Schiffer says “nothing” could persuade her to walk the catwalk again.

The German supermodel – who gave birth to her third child last year – says she has no interest in strutting her stuff up and down runways as she doesn’t like all eyes to be on her.

When asked what would get her on the catwalk again she replied: “Nothing, definitely. Nobody believes me but I’m very shy – much better in small groups of people than on a stage with everybody looking at me. I understood that I had to do it when I was modelling but now, since I don’t have to do it, I’d rather not.

“Designers are very clever at trying to persuade me to do it each season and it’s flattering that they do, but nothing would change my mind.”

Instead, the 40-year-old beauty wants to concentrate on launching her debut cashmere collection with German knitwear brand Iris von Arnim (IvA).

She said: “I’d much rather be working on this new project anyway.”

“I want to meet all the press and buyers personally – it’s that kind of project.”

It was announced in November Claudia will help design the range, which will represent her personal ethos and style.

She said: “I have been looking for the right partnership for a very long time and I feel very lucky to have found it with IvA. We have the same inherent values and I was delighted to find a company that was able to interpret my vision.”

Spotted in London: Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Lily Cole and Kelly Brook

Kate Moss looked stunning today as she launched her new fragrance "Vintage Muse", wearing super-tight black jeans and sky-high heels. True Moss style.

All the supermodels have been out yesterday and today in the fashion capital of the UK – today Kate Moss launched her new fragrance, “Vintage Muse”, at the Oxford Circus branch of Boots’ looking very glamorous and effortless in a very skinny pair of skinny jeans, ribbed black top and ankle-breakingly high black suede heels. True to form as usual!

Meanwhile, supermodel mummies Elle McPherson and Claudia Schiffer were both spotted out yesterday in more affluent areas of London, having dropped off their children at school, looking very groomed and yummy. Elle opted for skin-tight leather trousers, while Claudia chose the softest-looking rose mohair sweater which made her look like a beautiful, cuddly porcelain doll. Both mummies wore obscenely big sunnies.

With British temperatures dropping to sub-zero, Bianca Jagger showed us how to wrap up warm fashionably this winter, wearing an oversized jacket with a fur collar and leopardprint gloves with a matching clutch. We have sneaking suspicions that the purse was from Mulberry. Lucky Bianca.

Last night, the fashion house Christian Dior held a private party at the swanky Claridge’s Hotel for its’ nearest and dearest – in attendance were Kelly Brook, Lily Cole and Tali Lennox. Kelly Brook seems to have completed the transition from lads’ pin-up to fully-fledged fashion darling, wearing an incredible cabaret-style dress made entirely out of black and grey feathers. Meanwhile, Lily Cole looked sleek and sultry with her poker-straight black hair (which we love) and an elegant maxi-dress in the same colour. Tali Lennox, daughter of iconic singer Annie Lennox, also looked quirky and cool in a classic British trench-coat and a fedora, fashion’s favourite hat this season.

And as usual, girl-about-town Fearne Cotton looked fresh and fashionable on her way out of the Radio 1 studios, wearing a cute black swing coat with matching opaque tights and ankle boots. This is the way to keep warm in the winter.

D&G Party: Naomi Campbell, Paloma Faith and Pixie Lott

By Andrea Petrou on September 22nd, 2010

Fashion and A-list gals alike turned up to honour Naomi Campbell for being in the modelling business for 25 years.

The party held by Dolce & Gabbana, who also designed a range of limited edition T-shirts featuring photos of Naomi done by some of the world’s top fashion photographers, was attended by the likes of Paloma Faith who rocked up in a leopard print dress and Jamie Winstone who opted for polka dots on her frock.

Naom’s fellow model Claudia Schiffer honoured her friend by wearing one of the limited designed tees while Tess Daly went for sexy tight leather trousers and a black top to mark the occasion. And it seems as though black was the colour du jour for the celebs with Lily Allen turning up in a lace frock in this shade, Naom’s herself opting for a dress in this colour and Pixie Lott going for a black ruffled rock.

See all the star style below.

Spotted in London: Ellen Page, Claudia Schiffer and more

By emilyborrett on July 8th, 2010

Celebrities have been all over London in the last couple of days, some looking better than others.

Ellen Page, the pint sized Juno star was seen going into the Dorchester Hotel with a takeaway salad in London, looking fresh-faced but scruffily down to earth in weathered-looking jeans and trainers.

There seemed to be some kind of celebrity get-together at ITV studios, where Diana Vickers, looking glossy and sweet in a sailor-collar dress and tennis shoes, Sophie Ellis Bextor, looking ethereal in black opaques and a printed minidress, and Holly Willoughby were each papped leaving the studios. Holly looked glamorous and polished leaving in a blue minidress to show off her curves and was sporting sixties-esque blonde curls. The same cannot be said for her best friend and partner-in-crime Fearne Cotton, who emerged from the Radio 1 offices looking grungy and dishevelled in a button-up mididress, denim jacket and fiercely studded shoes.

Victoria Beckham also looked less than her usual self as she was snapped in her car on the way to the office looking tired and strained, but still chic in satellite-dish sunnies and a sleek dark wardrobe.

Blonde beauties Emma Rigby (of Hollyoaks fame) and uber-babe Claudia Schiffer were both seen about about about in London. Emma was papped tripping prettily out of the Christian Louboutin store in a cool slouchy blazer, stripy tee and skyscraping periwinkle-blue heels, whilst Claudia was spotted doing the school run looking effortlessly European in what looks like a Stella McCartney denim midi-skirt with a printed tee and huge fringed tote bag.

Last but not least, Amy Winehouse was spotted going into her friend Mark Ronson’s gig at Bungalow 8 looking her old self in her trademark 1950s Grease mode of dress, a pair of acid wash pedal pushers, silk top, with a red scarf cheekily tied into her infamous beehive.

Today’s “Spotted in London” fashion award goes to Diana Vickers, who’s style has come such a long way from the cavegirl-hair-and-weird-claw phase. Top marks, Vickers.

Claudia Schiffer names her baby girl

By Andrea Petrou on May 26th, 2010

Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for Claudia Schiffer YSL.jpg

Last week we bought you the news that Claudia Schiffer had given birth to a baby girl. The
supermodel gave birth to her daughter on May 14 at London’s Portland Hospital, but at the time of the news the couple had no released a name.

However the model and her film producer husband Matthew Vaughn have since announced their choice of name, which as we expected by looking at their other children’s names of Jasper and Clementine, wasn’t going to be “traditional”.

The couple’s publicist told Welt Online: “Her name is Cosima Violet Vaughn Drummond. Both mother and child are fine.”

We’re not sure what to make of this name, but we know one thing is for sure, she’ll probably be the only little girl at school with it. Tell us what you think of the name by leaving your comments below.

Claudia Schiffer gives birth to a little girl

By Andrea Petrou on May 17th, 2010

Thumbnail image for Claudia Schiffer YSL.jpg

We’re sending out lots of congratulations today and this time the person in question is Claudia Schiffer.

The supermodel has become a mum for the third time, after giving birth to a baby girl on Friday.

Claudia and husband Matthew Vaughn released a statement early on Saturday morning, saying they were ‘proud’ to announce the arrival of their new addition to the family.

The statement added: ‘Mother and baby are doing well.’

They currently have no name for their little bundle of joy but if their other kids names, Clementine and Casper, are go by, then we have a feeling it won’t be a traditional one.

We’ve covered many celebrity collaborations for charity, but this has got to be the best one yet.

Kylie Minogue, Claudia Schiffer and Sienna Miller have leant their faces to the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign.

The campaign, shot by Mario Testino, features Kylie who beat breast cancer four years ago, pregnant Claudia and Sienna sporting a silk sheet with the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer logo printed on it.

It forms part of the overall charity initiative, which will also see proceeds from clothing and accessories from River Island, My Wardrobe and M&S going to the charity.

Kylie said: “It means so much to me to be part of this year’s campaign for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. I wholeheartedly support their efforts to raise funds for the vital work undertaken by Breakthrough Breast Cancer.”

Salvatore Ferragamo uses original supermodel Claudia Schiffer for its SS2010 campaign

By Andrea Petrou on January 7th, 2010

With so many celebs, actresses and new models fronting designer’s ad campaigns it’s sometimes hard to ever remember iconic supermodels such as Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford.

That is until we spotted Salvatore Ferragamo’s SS2010 campaign. The brand has gone right back to 80s basics opting to use original supermodel Claudia Schiffer for its shoots.

We love the soft and serene 50s styling of the model, who poses for one of the almost angelic pictures, shot by Mario Testino, in this white dress.

Claudia, you may be a little bit older than the rest of the ad campaign faces heard but we think you’ve definitely still got it.

Looks like Yves Saint Laurent is simply collecting supermodels for its ad campaigns. After their fall ads featured Naomi Campbell, they’re moving on to Claudia Schiffer for spring.

Schiffer has told WWD that she has shot campaigns for YSL, Dolce & Gabbana and Salvatore Ferragamo for the spring.

Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin photographed YSL’s spring campaign in Los Angeles last month.

ShinyStyle Gallery: Dolce & Gabbana bring out the stars at Milan Fashion Week

By Andrea Thatcher on September 25th, 2008

Dolce & Gabbana’s spring 2009 girl is not worried about the failing economy – she slept through the news of all the banks failing. The designers call this collection Pajama Baroque, a slightly upscale version of the name we gave it – sexy pajama party. More Upper East Side than Playboy Manion, naturalmente. This is one line that did not pander to woes about an economic crisis and we’re happy for it because it’s also one of the more exciting collections we’ve seen.

Star power doesn’t hurt either. J.Lo, Dita Von Teese, models galore…they were all front row and on the runway.
