Blake Lively Does Vogue

Blake Lively looks like a throwback glam goddess on the February 2009 issue of Vogue magazine. She talks about what it is like working with the cast on the set of her hit television show Gossip Girls.


“The fashion is just unbelievable [on Gossip Girl],” the 21-year-old actress tells Vogue. “You can watch our show on mute and be entertained.”
“Just being here [in New York City], walking around, you pick it up really quickly,” Blake explains of her evolving fashion sense. “In New York, you put on skinny jeans and riding boots and a leather coat and handbag, and you take on that posture and character. It becomes very natural.”

Kanye Unveils His LV Collabo

Mr. West is sure to be among the famous men sitting in the front rows of Men’s Fashion Week in Paris. Not only will he be in town to unveil a sneaker collaboration with Louis Vuitton, and watch a pair stomp down the runway, but he’s due to co-host a Wallpaper event at Boucheron on Jan. 22 to celebrate the magazine’s design awards.



After all the hoopla surrounding his collaboration with prestigious fashion house Louis Vuitton, Kanye West unveils the first design of six from his upcoming sneaker collection. The Louis Vuitton Don says “These are not coming out until June.”

Finally, Gisele Got Her Man

People.com has reported that Gisele and Tom Brady are engaged. Tom proposed to Gisele over the weekend with a diamond solitaire and she said yes! "The couple is discussing a huge fashionista event in the spring or a more intimate and quicker ceremony in Costa Rica, where Gisele has a home," a source told the magazine.

2009's Shooting Star Designers

There's no doubt about it, it's a stressful time to be a new store, a new site, and definitely a new designer. But for some young designers, this tough and ultra-critical environment will surely separate the strong from the weak. And after all is said and done a few new names will still make some buzz this year. Here are our picks for the top three designers you should be thrilled about.

Rad Hourani
Who He Is: A Canadian-born stylist-turned-designer with just three collections underneath his belt and a killer video for Mode Models that sky-rocketed him to cult-like status within the fashion elite.

Why He's Hot: Already garnering comparisons to Helmut Lang and Ann Demeulemeester, Hourani turned out an epic all-black third collection, proving that, though Canadian, New York might be where his heart is. Angular, sleek, intense, and did we mention unisex? These clothes prove that no matter what the season, true style (and solid talent) is timeless.

Frank Tell
Who He Is: A Spanish designer who is BFFs and studio-mates with Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and downtown "It" chick Pamela Love.

Why He's Hot: Sure, having friends in high places can't hurt, but it's his clothes—expertly tailored, daringly executed—that will propel him to cream-of-the-crop status this year. His spring '09 collection, a dazzling array of tulle and pleated cocktail frocks in a minimalist reduction of blacks and blues, held all the promise of a young Giles Deacon with the cool-girl turn-out (Leigh Lezark, Julia Reston-Roitfeld) of a Ben Cho show. Will 2009 be the Year for Frank? Time will tell.

Yeojin Bae
Who She Is: Australian-based designer named One to Watch by UK Sunday Times and Marie Claire, among others.

Why She's Hot: If a Target collaboration is a sure-fire indicator of success, then Bae is already headed for the big-time. Her capsule collection for the retail giant may not be available in the States, but we have a feeling Bae's main line, a feminine and delicate collection of separates and frocks, will be making major waves across the pond this year. Carried at Barneys and featured in Harper's Bazaar, we figure it's only a matter of time before it's worn by Park Avenue socialites and downtown tastemakers alike.

Will the Real Ballers Please Stand?

And then there were two, reported from New York Magazine our favorite high-end couple David and Posh Beckham leaves us wishing we were them. Apparently, David gave Posh a new Birkin costing a whopping $122,000.00! There were only three made in the world of this Hermes Himalayan croc birkin with diamonds in 30cm masterpiece.

The Rachel Zoe 'I Die.....Bananas' Tee

Art director Chris Sauvé designed a T-shirt that pays homage to Rachel Zoe and her catch phrases "I Die" and "Bananas".


The shirts can be pre-ordered by contacting CHRISTOPHER LEE SAUVE at 917-815-9440, or by emailing at csauve@gmail.com

Matthew Williamson for H&M

Rumor has it Matthew Williamson is shooting a campaign for his H&M line, which launches this May. Williamson will also be opening his first flagship store in this country in New York's meat packing district. H&M leaked the above snapshot of Williamson with the line. They're a bit fuzzy, but it's a preview nonetheless!

Fergie & Josh Tie The Knot

Fergie (real name is Stacy Ann Ferguson), 33, and Josh Duhamel actor, 36, were married on Saturday, January 10 at the Church Estate Vineyards in Malibu, California.
