Unpublished in 2007: Katharine McPhee, Diesel models
With less on the newswires today except for more Sarko and Bruni, we thought we’d put up a few of the unpublished images from our server. Here are two that didn’t make publication for one reason or another: American Idol’s Katharine McPhee (mentioned by Summer Rayne Oakes in Lucire 20) at a skin cancer benefit […]
Summer Rayne Oakes one of Amica’s top 20 trend-setters
I think it’s way cool when another magazine calls one of your own one of its 20 most in?uential trend-setters under 40. And this is out of a global sample of people. Congratulations, Summer Rayne, for making it into Amica’s list! It’s much deserved—and yet another example of how we’ve been ahead of the curve. […]
Isabella Blow cause of death official
Connected to the next print issue of Lucire: it was sad to note that the earlier suspicions that Tatler contributing editor Isabella Blow had drunk Paraquat, the weed killer, have now been confirmed by the Gloucestershire coroner. Mrs Blow had drunk half a pint, 10 times the fatal amount, and had concerns over her ‘waning […]
Christmas is set to be glamorous over at Hennes & Mauritz: we preview some of the Swedish retailer’s offerings for the season. Some of the trends are what you expect: plenty of metallics in party wear and in underwear. And for those of us who’ve followed the brand’s end-of-year collections, this is very much in […]
Is it safe to co-brand with Kate Moss yet?
If Kate Moss has cleaned up her act since being exposed for doing lines of cocaine by a British tabloid in 2005, then it is right for those who have a demand for her to ask her to be their spokeswoman. Donna Karan is the latest to hire the British supermodel, who is reportedly […]
Paulina Porizkova replaces Twiggy for cycle 10 of America’s Next Top Model
Due to con?icting schedules, Twiggy will be unable to appear as a judge alongside Tyra Banks, J. Alexander and Nigel Barker in cycle 10 of the CW’s reality series, America’s Next Top Model. Taking her place will be former Estée Lauder signature face and actress Paulina Porizkova. Czech-born Porizkova (in which case one probably should […]
[Cross-posted] These are some photos from Taiwan, some taken for a friend to whom I promised I would send oddball pics. Let’s begin: Jiji is the end of the line if you’re heading south from Taipei, and this is the local freak show. There is a Gremlin (not AMC, but Spielberg) and a caged […]
A future Lucire Car to Be Seen in?
[Cross-posted] Honda’s Takeo Fukui has said that he will put the world’s ?rst hydrogen fuel-cell car on the market by next year, with a sticker price of around £50,000. The car emits water vapour as its “exhaust”. This is fabulous thinking: rather than hold the technology back, as all the other automakers are doing, […]
Monica’s back, in a new shoot with Florin Radu
In the last 10 years, we have broken quite a few stories: Zac Posen had his first in-depth interview with Lucire, we take credit for the first pieces on Christina Perriam and Kathryn Wilson, and over in Romania, Monica Colombeanu (née Gabor), who was famous in her own right, became a cover girl for the […]
[Cross-posted] Had a great chat this morning to curator Donna Loveday from the Design Museum. Her exhibition, When Philip Met Isabella, a tribute to milliner Philip Treacy and the late Isabella Blow, is on at the New Dowse in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, after dropping by in St Petersburg and Melbourne, and I would seriously […]
