Roberto Cavalli is in the news a lot these few weeks: his Spice Girls costumes made it to the front page of the Lucire site yesterday. And, a reminder: this is always open to discussion both here on this blog and in our Reader Forum (registration required on the latter). […]
Patrick Dempsey the new face of Versace
Patrick Dempsey of Grey’s Anatomy—let’s also not forget Loverboy and Meatballs III—is the new face of Versace’s men’s line, according to the fashion house. Donatella Versace said to the press, ‘He has that confidence, completely comfortable in his own skin, that is so attractive.’ Mr Dempsey’s campaign has already been shot by Mario Testino and […]
A dog was found dead today (Gillian Gibbons, Ahmadinejad speech in later news)
The front page of The Dominion Post highlighted the death of Cricket, the pet chihuahua of New Zealand celebrity Nicky Watson, and told buyers there would be a story inside. On p. A3 there was an eighth of a page. On the radio, I heard about the passing of her dog. Before I launch into […]
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 […]
There are a lot of connections between myself, Stanley Moss, Pierre d’Huy, Lucire and the Medinge Group. Rather than explain things too much, I’d like to share some photos that won’t be in a future Lucire from Stanley, who serves as travel editor: after all, this blog is about the behind-the-scenes happenings at this magazine […]
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 […]
We’re so used to Doug being the guy with the camera that at his own farewell at Wellington Airport, no one had one. Except those cameras on those newfangled cellphones. Alas, here is Mr Rimington heading to the gate in a less than stellar photograph—probably the way he prefers it since he doesn’t like […]
Times of India runs phony Victoria’s Secret story
Spotted at the Times of India on December 1: Australian model Miranda Kerr has revealed Hilton acted like a princess backstage at a lingerie range fashion show and stole her gorgeous runway out?t. The 24-year-old model has revealed the whole incident on a blog, which ultimately left the hotel heiress humiliated when she had an […]
On the blogs: a real story about the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
Spotted on Stevie Wilson’s LA-Story site: a video on the casting of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Yes, really: it’s from the show, rather than Heatherette two years ago (I see even the respectable Times of India has reported the Miranda Kerr–Paris Hilton non-incident with the wrong year and venue now). The show is […]
Personalities in antipodean fashion
New on Lucire: one interview, one pro?le. Earlier this year, I did a “?ve years on” follow-up on Murray Bevan, whom I ?rst interviewed when he started Showroom 22 in 2002. Back in ’02, I had a feeling Murray would do incredibly well with his PR company–high fashion showroom (we always did have a record […]
