CELINE Fall 2010. Photography by Peter Stigter

Phoebe Philo’s second ready-to-wear outing for Celine was full of sleek navy, plum and moss-coloured pieces. Dresses and jackets had low-slung leather patch pockets. Standout pieces were leather and sheepskin cocoon coats, cutaway jackets and shirts, blouses with trailing scarves, and a pair of clustered-sequin pieces.

Material girl Madonna is reportedly set to brings her lyrics to life and design a collection to be sold exclusively at Macy’s. The unconfirmed rumour is that the line will include clothing, accessories, lingerie and shoes. [Vogue UK]

In the wake of Alexander McQueen’s death, the question of “what now” is obviously on everyone’s mind. While long-term plans remain unknown,  his upcoming Paris show is supposedly still scheduled to be presented. The collection was apparently completed a week prior to the designer’s death, and sources say that there is no change to the delivery dates of showpieces commissioned specifically for the runway.

Fashion news: Marni’s animated dolls, questionable publicity at Gaultier, and fashion is as evil as yogurt

The Jean Paul Gaultier Target collection looks incredible!

As is de rigueur with fast fashion collab leaks these days, a grainy, blurry cell phone image of a magazine spread featuring Jean Paul Gaultier’s Target collection has emerged. Nevermind the poor quality, the image is enough to get our fashion pulses racing. What’s amazing is that the collection is both classic Gaultier, and just plain classic: Breton stripes, a beautiful trench, a menswear inspired pinstriped jacket and dress. There’ also a kilt and a leather jacket with what appear to be quilted shoulders that are reminiscent of the detailing on his famous cone bra. From reading the blurry credits, we’re sorry to say that the hats and the fantastic chain necklace are not from the collection (they’re by Albertus Swanepoel and Kenneth Jay Lane respectively). But the tattoo print leggings and tee totally are! Try to keep calm until March 7. [Fashin, via Refinery 29]

Jamie Bochert is headlining the Lanvin ads for spring 2010. “I thought maybe we need a bit of action,” said artistic director Alber Elbaz. Shot by photographer Steven Meisel, the campaign has Bochert running, bending and dodging in feminine Lanvin ruffles.  Bochert also poses over a toilet in Marc Jacobs’ spring campaign. [WWD]

Beyoncé is launching her first fragrance. Heat comes out at the end of January, inspired by all the pyrotechnics a Beyoncé concert demands. “A lot of my performances have had fire involved, so we thought ‘Heat,’” the singer told WWD. Suffice to say, the ads will be steamy. [WWD] Read the rest of this entry »

Fashion news: Hurley makes nachos for Christie Brinkley, Ungaro’s harsh words for LiLo and women are lining up to be hobbled

Though it seems like an unlikely pairing at first, Lost’s Jorge Garcia and Christie Brinkley work out, make nachos and generally live the good life together in the pages of Vogue Deutsch. Of the pairing, photographer Bruce Weber says: “Christie is the ultimate California beach girl and Jorge is the ultimate hippie.” So they both have the less-is-more, beach bum thing going on. More photos at the link. [Fashionista]

Seems that Emanuel Ungaro himself agrees with the rest of the world that Lindsay Lohan’s debut collection for his fashion house was disastrous. Are we susprised? Ungaro, who sold the company in 2005, said, “I am furious but I can’t do anything about it.” Going on, the designer lamented that his fashion house “is in the process of losing its soul.” [The Cut] Read the rest of this entry »

This week’s New York Magazine has named Anna Wintour one of the 12 most powerful New Yorkers. This news didn’t come as too shocking, but more confusing is the fact that the Vogue powerhouse is the sole woman to make the list. [The Cut]

Fashion news: Pregnant Jourdan Dunn walks runway, Heidi Klum changes name, Brooks Brothers sells Mad Men suits and more

Morning sickness didn’t stop a very pregnant Jourdan Dunn from walking the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier. The glowing model wore a padded cone bra with matching maternity plate, looking like a Roman soldier in her first catwalk appearance at the spring shows. [Fashionologie]

Heidi Klum is changing her last name to match her husband’s. Seal may be known to us solely by his first name, but the singer’s entire name is Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adelo Samuel. Heidi is opting for Samuel as her new surname. We don’t love it as much as Klum, but as long as she doesn’t change her killer legs, we’ll just have to deal.
