Diary date: Rankin to launch live exhibition, Old Truman Brewery

katemoss_rankin.jpgOne of the Britain's most revered photographers, Rankin, is about to unveil a new exhibition. Endorsed by Kate Moss, his friend and subject, Rankin Live comprises of two elements - the Rankin Retrospective and Shoot Me, Rankin.

"Any time Rankin takes a picture he knows what he wants, and there is really no chance of being anyone but who you are, even if you try," Moss said. "You can trust him. I trust him."

His mammoth portfolio includes images of the Queen, Tony Blair, and Dame Vivienne Westwood. His presentation will also feature an interactive aspect, with 1000 lucky individuals to be photographed by Rankin. They will be given a quick hair and make-up and snapped all under 15 minutes.

You can check out the Rankin Live exhibition from July 31 to September 18, at the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane.

CQ Gallery: Wigs, supermodels and stars at Glastonbury Festival '09

Kate Moss might have been a no-show, but that didn't stop some of our favourite fashionistas getting down at dirty at the Glastonbury Festival over the weekend. With a gaggle of '80s performers in the line-up, stars brought fringing, leather, jumpsuits and sequins to the forefront. Some of the famous faces in attendance included the Geldofs, Daisy Lowe and Little Boots, many of whom beat the mud in Jimmy Choo's croc Hunter wellies at £250 a pop. Naomi Campbell made a surprise appearance, while Lily Allen kept the crowds guessing in a rotating selection of brightly coloured wigs. As they say, at Glasto anything goes!

katemoss_richardbranson_virginatlantic25thbirthday.jpg


She's down, she's up, Kate Moss is everywhere right now. If she isn't dropping to her knees for charity karaoke, then she's being lifted into the air by Richard Branson as he celebrates Virgin Atlantic's 25th birthday. Mimicking one of the airline's flying pin-up girls, the supermodel allowed Branson to swing her about in a red strapless playsuit, and black YSL Tribute platforms. Following the photo-call, they then boarded the plane, named Birthday Girl, with Holly and Sam Branson to recreate the company's inaugural flight from Heathrow to New York City. Kate follows in the footsteps of Pamela Anderson, who donned a similar outfit for Virgin's 21st birthday in 2005.

Psst... Is Emma Watson designing a fashion range for UNICEF?

emmawatson_rodartedinner_jun09.jpgHot off the heels from her modelling debut for Burberry, comes the news that Emma Watson is designing a fashion line of her own.

Of course, it's all just a rumour at this stage, but NOTW is reporting that she is creating her own range for teenagers.

Not only that, she is also said to be planning to donate all the proceeds to children's charity, UNICEF.

"She's been getting advice from her fashion designer pals like Karl Lagerfeld," a source told the newspaper.

While that all sounds very generous and not at all like the usual celebrity fashion route, I'm not counting my chickens just yet... Having said that, I'm sure any fashion range endorsed by the Harry Potter starlet would sell like hotcakes.
