Bar Refaeli is to appear in a new fashion reality TV show

By Andrea Petrou on October 19th, 2011

Bar Refaeli is to appear in a new fashion reality TV show.

The Israeli model has filmed segments for ‘Scouted’ which aims to find the next big star in the modelling world with Scott Lipps’ New York agency One Management.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Bar will appear in one episode, advising and helping aspiring models.”

Despite being one of the world’s most in-demand models, Bar recently revealed how she doesn’t feel the need to be “super skinny”.

The 26-year-old beauty is famed for her amazing figure but said she would never want to be too thin and would rather be happy and healthy.

She said: “I don’t feel the need to be super skinny, but being in shape is important. But even if I wasn’t in this industry I would still want to look after myself and be healthy and keep my body in good condition.”

Bar also said she enjoys exercising but makes sure she increases her workouts if she’s got a big shoot coming up.

She said: “I always want to look my best on a shoot, or for a fashion show, so I do an extra couple of sit-ups the night before and I drink hot water with lemon to get my metabolism kick-started in the morning and to cleanse my system, but I don’t do anything crazy.

“There’s nothing worse than forcing yourself to spend hours in the gym when you don’t enjoy it, so I do all sorts of things to work out because I get bored easily.”

Autumn/Winter Trend Alert: Minimalism

Poltock Walsh for Asos Silk Maxi

Maxis are still a big deal this Autumn/Winter - if you're not a fan of its hippy/boho connotations then opt for this elegant silk maxi.

There are two main fashion camps that you’ll feel the pressure to fall into come this Autumn/Winter: will you take your inspiration from the likes of Givenchy and Meadham Kirchoff and turn yourself into a peculiar, cat-lady rainbow of oddities, or will you keep things sleek, modern and minimal in muted palettes and clean shapes? I know that I’ll be straying into definite cat-lady territory this year, but minimalism isn’t to be sniffed at – sometimes keeping things simple can have a dramatic effect, as the likes of Lara Stone and Diane Kruger are always proving.

Luckily, you don’t need a hot-shot actress’ salary to get in on the action as this is on trend that the high street is wholeheartedly embracing. Asos in particular is an excellent source for simple, clean and modern designs – we were especially wowed by a Poltock Walsh for Asos silk maxi dress in soft grey silk, which could look equally amazing worn with heels and jewellery at night or a slouchy blazer during the day.

However, accessory-lovers beware. This is a trend that requires careful styling – too little could look frumpy, too much will definitely look ridiculous. Do not cancel out your outfit’s clean simplicity by emptying your entire jewellery box over yourself. Instead, seek out pieces that will work on their own to compliment your look – Topshop has some brilliant cuff bracelets and futuristic-style earrings that could set off a minimalistic outfit wonderfully.

Have a look through the gallery above for our favourite pieces rocking the trend on the high street.

Style spotlight: Daisy Lowe

By Andrea Petrou on July 18th, 2011

Daisy Lowe is one model that makes us sit up and take notice.

The rock chick, also famous for her DJ-ing, is not afraid to showcase her own style when she’s not parading on the catwalk for the likes of Jean-Paul Gaultier and Pam Hogg.

She’s often snapped wearing a range of different fashions from crochet to stripes. She’s also a fan of the punk trend as well as the crop top look that’s super hot at the moment.

When it comes to designers she’s a fan of Miu Miu as well as of Jean-Paul Gaultier often spotted in statement bustier dresses and floral heels.

We have a look at her style in the gallery below

Daisy Lowe is set to appear naked in Playboy

By Andrea Petrou on July 14th, 2011

Daisy Lowe is set to appear naked in Playboy.

The 22-year-old model – who has previously posed for fashion publications Vogue and W – will strip off in an eight-page spread in the September edition of the iconic men’s magazine, which is set to be released on August 12.

Daisy – who is currently dating ‘Doctor Who’ actor Matt Smith – will travel to editor Hugh Hefner’s famous Playboy Mansion for the photo shoot.

The beautiful brunette – who is the daughter of musician-turned-designer Pearl Lowe and Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale – previously posed topless for the 2010 Pirelli Calendar and admitted she found the sexy shoot liberating.

She said: “It was quite freeing, being able to be naked for a week.”

Daisy has previously explained being “sexy” is a “big part” of her identity, and she believes it is empowering for women to be in control of their sexuality.

She said: “I suppose I’ve been very in touch with the ‘sexy’ thing since I was 15.

“I guess it’s a big part of my identity, something that I have learnt to switch into. It’s because I’m a girl’s girl. I’m not the bitchy girl who’s trying to make your boyfriend fancy me. The only reason I ever ‘do’ sexy is because I like to encourage women to feel sexy about themselves.”

Lady Gaga wats to go nude on TV

By Andrea Petrou on April 6th, 2011

Lady Gaga wants to be nude on all TV shows because it would be “timeless”.

The 25-year-old singer – who is well known for her love of eccentric clothes, including a dress made entirely of cuts of beef and an outfit made of frosted plastic – has joked if she was nude all the time no one would ever question her fashion credentials because they would never have anything to talk about.

Speaking on her video blog GagaVision, she said: “Maybe we should be more timeless. Maybe we should just wear a classic black suit all the time. Or just nudity? That way it’s always in style! From now on, ‘All television spots I’d like to be nude so that I will always be timeless.’”

The ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker recently revealed she would be starting a side career as a fashion writer for V Magazine from May.

Writing on twitter, she said: “I have some exciting news little monsters. I begin next month as a Fashion+Art Columnist for VMagazine.(sic)”

Licorice Gold Ballerina Flats

For the ultimate in shoe eye candy, you can't go wrong with these sparkle-dusted flats from Miss KG.

Thanks to the Black Swan phenomenon that’s had absolutely everyone talking, fashion is all about ballet right now. From costume-esque ornate ruffles and adornment at Marchesa and sweet, sugary colours at Stella McCartney, ballet has never been so hot. However, being a ballerina is really really hard (I’ve been doing ballet workouts at home and think I may never walk again), but dressing like one is really very easy and perfect for this spring.

The real, traditional dancer shoes are both painful (or so I’ve heard) and not practical for traipsing up and down the shops in, but ballet flats are. We all own a pair, but with fashion’s obsession with clogs, wedges and skyscraping heels recently we may not have been showing ours as much love as they deserve. After all, they’re our best friend after a long night out in stilettos- we wouldn’t be able to manage the walk of shame home without them. So we’ve searched the high street and found our top 5 favourite ballerina flats out at the moment, ranging from luxurious designer ones to basic failsafe ones. Check them out in the gallery above.

Steal her style: Michelle Williams

By Andrea Petrou on December 15th, 2010

By Emily Borrett.

I love Michelle Williams. Everything about the way that she dresses sums up what is so great about fashion and dressing today – from the boyish androgyny of her chic crop to her ladylike dresses and quirky accessories that she teams together, she’s everything a modern fashion-loving woman should be.

She’s had an extremely difficult time over the past few years, following the death of her estranged husband Heath Ledger, but ever since she’s always been incredibly brave and put her best well-shod foot forward. A favourite moment of ours has to be that Erdem dress that she wore at the London Film festival this year, hot off the catwalks – it had originally been a minidress, but clever Michelle asked for hers to be altered for a more ladylike skirt length, and TA-DA! Fashion magic happened. It’s that innovative strive for perfection and creativity that we love about her.

Nude, romance, ruffles, studs, bows and lace – all massive trends at the moment, especially now that it’s party season, and Michelle Williams is our poster-girl when it comes to getting these looks down. Check out the gallery below for some of our favourite of her looks, and pieces to help you steal her style.

Michelle looked completely angelic in a neat white minidress with it's ruffled neckline, worn in NYC the other day
