Did Atonement win the Academy Award? Or did the crime thriller No Country for Old Men swipe the Oscar? We now have all the answers from February 24 when this year’s winners were revealed.

Tying up loose ends: StarNow judging; forged New York letter
We had to make our ?nal decisions for the StarNow Australian Model Search 2008 today.

Fellow publishers, do you go through this?
I can’t believe it: yet another stylist’s letter making the rounds in NYC that we have no knowledge of. Again, I won’t name the stylist, but if you are going to go around with a letter that bears my name and signature, I’ll give you one bit of advice: get the postal code right. Copying […]

Behind the scenes at New York Fashion Week
Odds and ends from New York Fashion Week, prior to our big articles in print: ?rst, our own Ashleigh Berry was interviewed by Re?nery29, in its ‘Style & People’ section. Go Ash! She managed to get to the Karen Walker show—her must-see for the week, being a fellow New Zealander—and the nice folks at Re?nery29 interviewed […]
Ashes to Ashes won’t suddenly kick off ’80s revival
With tonight’s première of Ashes to Ashes, the spin-off to Life on Mars, people have been talking about 1981 for a week or more, especially the UK press. There is talk of 1980s fashions making their way around and an increase in interest in the Audi Quattro, the car driven by Philip Glenister in […]
The StarNow Model Search press release
Creating a successful career in the glamorous world of modelling is the dream of many Australian models, but seemingly far out of reach for most.
