Could we soon be dressing like Don or Betty Draper from Mad Men?
The hit television show's costume designer, Janie Bryant, has dropped a hint that she could soon be launching a clothing line.
"I'm working on some things right now," she told Glamour magazine. "I hate to be so mysterious but I can't really say! It would have my name attached to it though."
Nominated for a Costume Designers Guild Award, Bryant also admitted that she draws inspiration for the character of Betty from her grandmother: "She had an apron for every event that matched every dress - she had cocktail aprons and everyday aprons and she designed and built her own clothes and she was just such a lady."
Now here is a fun rumour that I really hope comes true. After revealing their five new Angels including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, word on the grapevine is that the Angels have reenacted George Michael's supermodel-studded "Freedom! 90" video for the upcoming Victoria's Secret fashion show.
Breathe a sigh of relief (and stop holding in your stomach): the swimsuit is back in vogue. Promising to nip, tuck and lift you in all right places, Speedo's new range of cossies for Autumn/Winter will make it even easier to relax by the pool on your holidays.
The stars hit the red carpet for the MTV Europe Awards in a slew of sparkly nude and beige gowns last night. Host Katy Perry didn't disappoint fans with a whopping 12 costume changes, including a stunning fishtail Marchesa gown and an ode to boyfriend Russell Brand's favourite football team, West Ham. Other starlets to frock up at the Berlin event includes Beyonce, Leona Lewis, Shakira and Pixie Lott.
Update:WWD is reporting that Daisy Lowe has been booked for a Louis Vuitton press kit shoot. She will model the label's new beach line comprising of ready-to-wear, shoes, bags and accessories which is slated to launch in LV stores next April.
In the same vein as Lara Stone, Georgia May Jagger appears to be on a winning ticket right now. She has just been confirmed, via her rep, as the new face of Versace's spring 2010 campaign.
"We are delighted that Georgia is following the foot steps of her mother who did Versace with Avedon. She was thrilled to be working with Donatella and Mario [Testino] and to be bringing it through to a new generation".
Yes, yes, yes! Why didn't we think of this earlier? Marks & Spencer plus Ab Fab = super funny ads for the holiday season! Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders have signed on to be the new faces of M&S's Christmas '09 campaign. But that's not all! The funny ladies also join John Sergeant, Stephen Fry and Mark's favourite, Twiggy, in the new ads which hit back at the issue of ageism in British TV.
He may not be planning a stint on reality television any time soon, but Henry Holland was certainly the toast of the town Tuesday evening.
The designer unveiled his capsule collection for Debenhams, H! by Henry Holland, with a preview of what we can look forward to next spring. As the latest name on the Designers at Debehams roster (along with Matthew Williamson, Betty Jackson) it did come as a bit of a surprise that the too-cool-for-school Hezza Hozza would design for Debenhams. So, what was the outcome?
Not bad! Described by Holland as "an exciting and adventurous mix of happy grunge for a different, younger customer," he certainly opens the door for the younger customer while maintaining his eclectic street style.
Adding another celebrity fan to her growing client base is Victoria Beckham. The former Spice Girl's designs have broken through to the red carpet of Hollywood after Drew Barrymore wore one of her A/W 2009 dresses to the première of Everybody's Fine. The purple figure-hugging Giral dress has already been worn by Victoria Beckham and Katherine Jenkins, but still managed to shine on Drew who added her own touch of a silver pin. A black version of the same dress has also been worn by Elle Macpherson. Like it? There is a similar style still available on Net-a-Porter. That's if you have a handy £1,195 to spend.
