Politician’s wives are fast becoming regulars on our fashion radars and we’ve regularly featured many an outfit worn by US first lady Michelle Obama and our own home grown Samantha Cameron.
However this time it’s Sarah Brown that’s popped her head over the fashion parapet.
The Prime Ministers wife has teamed up with Naomi Campbell to launch this year’s annual Fashion for Relief event, which will see a range of models and celebs strutting their stuff in designer outfits, which will then be auctioned off for charity.
This year, the event, which was launched by Sarah and Naomi, along with Erin O’Connor and Yasmin le Bon, and will take place on the 18th February, will raise money to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake.

America's Next Top Model, Fashion News
By Andrea Petrou on October 29th, 2009
Naomi Campbell is following Tyra Bank’s catwalk steps. The supermodel has taken two steps to rival her catwalk talent rival and is looking for the next top model and photographer.
Joining forces with Talenthouse, a community based website that looks for talented musicians, artists and models, Naomi will be looking for a male and female model to feature in an up and coming photoshoot with a “major” fashion magazine. She is also asking photographers to submit work, which they believe have a “glamour” theme.
If you
fancy yourself as the next top model or as a fashion photographer you have until 5 February next year to submit your entry. Good luck.

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.

After months of speculation as to who has scored the cover of Italian Vogue’s July ’08 issue, featuring only black models, the time has finally come to reveal all…
The fold-out cover stars (from left to right) Liya Kebede, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn, and Naomi Campbell. Under the careful eye of editor Franca Sozzani, and photographer Steven Meisel, the ground-breaking issue is a welcomed sight for many who have long campaigned for equal rights in the fashion industry, but will it help to bring about change?

Even at the celebratory Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards last night, the memory of legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent was not far from the industry’s mind.
Inspired by Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking Suit and one of the night’s winners, Ashley Olsen donned a Calvin Klein resort 09 tuxedo. Naomi Campbell topped that by wearing vintage YSL, and CFDA president Diane Von Furstenberg also wore the symbolic style including a vintage YSL jacket.

The supermodel was released on bail on Friday following her arrest at Heathrow airport last week in which she spat on a police officer.

Celebrity Style, Red Carpet

On Monday we told you that sadly the Golden Globes would not be going ahead due to the ongoing writers’ strike. What if the Oscars are next?! Although we’re sympathetic to the writers’ cause, we couldn’t help but feel a little bit disappointed about the lack of red carpet action. But maybe there will be some stylish action…
Elton John and David Furnish have announced that despite the possible lack of awards ceremony their annual Oscar party and charity event for his Aids Foundation (sponsored by Chophard and VH1) must definitely go on.

The girls over at sister-site Catwalk Queen have been busy choosing their favorite dresses from last night’s 7th on Sale gala, and we’re ready to do the same. The three day sample sale was kicked off in glamorous style with Elle Macpherson, Valentino Garavani, Iman, and Kate Moss on the red carpet. It was classic black for these fashion big names, no toying with colours. Elle wore a simple strapless black dress, with pleated detail on the hip, while Iman’s dress featured tiers of ruffles, with metallic silver accents and a sheer top. Valentino and Kate prefered sleek black blazers, well Valentino is actually wearing a three-piece suit.

The fashion elite came out to pay tribute to Isabella Blow yesterday at a special London Fashion Week memorial service. Naomi Campbell, Stella McCartney and the always colourful Zandra Rhodes joined designers, models and even royalty (Princess Beatrice and mum Fergie) to honor the late, great British stylist who passed away in May. Although many questioned the whereabouts of Alexander McQueen who was essentially discovered by Blow and failed to appear.

Wow, I was amazed after reading the WWD article, “Little Diversity in Fashion: African-Americans Bemoan Their Absence in Industry,” how few black models there were in Fashion Week. Of the 101 shows and presentations posted on Style.com, 31 appear to have no black models. But it’s true–it’s almost as if you get so used to the standard pale-skin model, that it’s like a mannequin walking down the runway, rather than people who play a part in society. I mean, to say nothing of the leggy, stick-thin, 16-year-old bodies, which definitely don’t represent how the majority of women look, why should the fashion industry get away with discrimination as well? Well, they shouldn’t.
