If having an Oscar red carpet moment is any indication of a designer (and a celebrity designer at that) making it, then Victoria Beckham has definitely made it. The perennially best-dressed Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cameron Diaz are reportedly seeking the designer’s flattering, fitted wears for Hollywood’s biggest night.

A secret source told the Daily Mirror that, “Although it’s a great place to be in, Victoria’s been working day and night to keep up with demand.” So, what will the A-list be wearing? Check out our best guesses!

They said/We said: Victoria Beckham’s newly released cat-inspired diffusion line has already sold out in London

1 Comment

Victoria Beckham’s newest line with the very James Bond-esque name, Victoria, Victoria Beckham has caused a major fashion ruckus, selling out of Harvey Nichols on its first day in stores.

Inspired by cartoon character Emily the Strange, the line is decidedly mod with ‘60s shifts and Mondrian-worthy colour blocking. The “affordable” collection starts at £395 (which according to our rough calculations is upwards of $600). That’s Carven worthy, people! Yet somehow the steep pricing hasn’t deterred the masses, as there are already waitlists for three dresses, priced at almost $1,000. Canadians have no fear though, the collection is going to be available at Holt Renfrew very soon, and there’s no wait list to report as of today! Read more »

On the eve of Sienna and Savannah Miller’s departures from Twenty8Twelve, we look back at the top 10 best and worst celebrity fashion lines

Comments

We were shocked to hear that one of the first (and few) celebrity lines to succeed, Twenty8Twelve, announced today that notoriously stylish Sienna Miller and her designer sister Savannah Miller have left the label. Come fall, the label will change its name from Twenty8Twelve by s. miller to Twenty8Twelve London. Despite the loss of the two co-creative directors, the brand will still show at the upcoming London fashion week, and has plans to expand into e-commerce and open a new store in New York (in addition to their successful London stores and sales in department stores worldwide).

This news about one of the most prominent celebrity lines got us thinking about celebrity status and fashion-line success. We revisit 10 of the best and worst celebrity fashion lines out there and give you our verdicts.

They said/We said: Harper Seven Beckham is destined to become the latest diaper-donning fashion icon

Comments

Looks like Harper Seven Beckham has gone from fashion accessory to full-fledged fashionista. The baby has been seen on the arm of her mom in Little Marc Jacobs dresses and Chloé tights, and though we’re assuming that she’s not yet old enough to make her own sartorial choices, she certainly knows how to attract the style snaps.

Her doting dad talked recently about her expansive wardrobe, gushing that “she has so many cute little dresses” to wear, and that he as well as his wife have been spoiling her with adorable designer duds. “I didn’t realize how excited I would get over buying hair bows,” he admitted—and while David Beckham isn’t exactly our taste, we can hear the collective sighs of women across the world.

Some of our favourite fashion talents were celebrated last night at the 2011 British Fashion Awards in London, with Sarah Burton, Mary Katrantzou, and Charlotte Olympia (to name a few) coming out on top in their respective categories. As always, what everyone was wearing was equally top of our minds, and we’ve especially enjoyed these neat little red carpet photo combos of megawatt designer avec megawatt muse (or muse-come-designer in Victoria Beckham’s case). In one corner, we’ve got the bright-young-thing duo of Christopher Kane and Alexa Chung donning a look from his Spring 2012 collection, and with Charlotte Olympia kitten heels. In the other, you’ve got the black-on-black pairing of Marc Jacobs and Beckham in her own design (may we just say, Vicky’s looking less extreme than usual, and we like it) The always-cool McCartney and Moss duo triumph with Stella in a sexy-tomboy suit and Kate in all-over fishnet. So, who takes the cake for the best dressed duo?

Cats just keep getting trendier. Introducing the first “catvertising” agency

Comments

Meow! From United Bamboo’s conceptual calendar to Miu Miu and Victoria Beckham’s must-have kitty prints, cats are a trend that continue to infiltrate the fashion industry. So when Toronto-based advertising agency John St. released their “catvertising” video this week, we were on board—assuming, of course, that this means more fashion and feline collaborations are in the works.

Torontoist stopped by the John St. offices and has the full scoop on the video’s creation, as well as where, exactly, all those cats came from. Read on »

They said/We said: Kate Middleton snubbed by the British Fashion Council! As if!

Comments

Though fashion critics gushed over her wedding dress, thousands flocked to see it in real life, and pieces by designers like Erdem instantly sell out after she’s seen in them, Kate Middleton was overlooked by the British Fashion Council when they announced their shortlist for the 2011 British Style Icon award. As if!

Who was included? Alexa Chung, Lara Stone, Florence Welch, and Victoria Beckham. Sure all of these Brits have It-girl appeal, but none has the extensive coverage surrounding their every outfit as Kate. Outraged by the snub, Telegraph UK encouraged readers to vote on the BFC’s website to include Kate. As of post time, her die-hard fans have spoken and Kate is included in the shortlist.

Ironically, Harper’s Bazaar UK has published their Britain’s 10 best-dressed list today and who else is at the top of the list? Kate, natch. We’re not sure why the duchess was initially left out, but if royal watchers have anything to say about it, she’ll have the award in the bag.
