Emma Watson Represents Burberry – Photos

emma-watson-burberry-campaign-1

Awww…little Emma Watson isn’t so little anymore. She is turning into a mini mogul and dominating the designer world. Emma recently scored a campaign with Burberry and has already been attached to Chanel. No longer just the girl from “Harry Potter,” She is fast becoming a style icon.

Each of the Harry Potter trio are taking strides to shed their child-like images and branch into the adult world. Daniel Radcliffe has been making headway using bare flesh to showcase his talents in Broadway. Rupert Grint, Ron Weasly, is making strides in the acting world with his new sex, drugs and violence packed film, “Cherry Bomb.”

Lets just hope she keeps her nose clean. Literally.

Marc Jacobs to Adopt a Baby

Marc Jacobs will soon have himself a blushing bride. Lorenzo Martone is the lucky man to win the heart of the Louis Vuitton designer. They are planning to wed despite the Prop 8 war currently overtaking California. The couple went public with their rings and wedding plans in March and Marc is now antsy for children.

“My husband-to-be and I will be buying a house together. And he and I want children. And we are very much in love. One other thing I can tell you is, I won’t wear white.”

I can just picture these two picking out babies like they are couches or drapes.

Anna Sui Designs ‘Gossip Girls’ Line for Target

Ok…so I admit that I am not a Gossip Girl fan and could only stand 3.7 minutes before thinking, “I’m not getting paid to watch this shiz. Ooo! Jimmy Johns is still open!” However, I dig the name Serena van der Woodsen as I was once branded with the name Anabelle Beaverhausen. (Long story on that one kittens.)

Regardless, the show has a following and apparently Anna Sui is a fan. The designer is creating a line for Target that encompasses the style of the show. September 13 through October 17th a select 250 Target stores will feature the collection.

Via WWD:

“I have always been a fan of designer partnerships with mass retailers,” said Sui. “I think it is a great way to bring fashion to everyone. I love Go International and was intrigued with Target’s new take on designer partnerships. It’s a fresh approach. I was able to select a muse or source of creative inspiration to focus the collection around.”

Sui is known for producing fashion collections that are more accessible to the everyday woman on the street. So I am predicting this will be a wise venture.

Kiefer Sutherland Defends Brooke Shields And Breaks A Nose

The biggest news to come out of the MET Costume Gala Monday night wasn’t Rhianna’s D&G suit, or Anne Hathaway’s FemmeBot hair-do. Instead of what people were wearing, the buzz is all about Brooke Shields, Jack Bauer, and a broken designer nose. Say what?

According to various reports today, while at an after party at SubMercer, Kiefer Sutherland witnessed Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough knock sometimes actress Brooke Shields to the floor. Channeling his inner knight-in-shining-armon, Sutherland approached McCollough and demanded he apologize. That’s why the boo-boo hit the fan…or the head hit the nose.

Via Guest of a Guest:

“The REAL talk of the town belongs to a certain fight that broke out at SubMercer. Apparently that’s where Kiefer Sutherland HEAD BUTTED Jack McCollough so hard that he BROKE the designer’s nose!”

Whereas you and I would be flattered to have someone defend our honor, apparently Brooke doesn’t want to be left off the swag list of Proenza Schouler. Her people are denying that there was any altercation between her and McCollough.

Via TMZ:

“Shields’ reps tell TMZ the man Kiefer headbutted Monday night in no way did anything to Brooke that would have warranted the alleged attack.”

There has been no report as to whether or not Sutherland was acting under the influence of alcohol. The actor is known for his many trips to rehab. I would like to believe that he was merely acting out a scene from next season’s “24” where Jack Bauer headbutts both Fiorentini + Baker and steals me the Eternity Boots in gray suade. I can dream, right?

Models Aren’t Playing Nice with Jesus

Now that Madonna has been rejected as a suitable mother for Mercy James, she has invited Jesus back to her lair. Of course he obliged being that no one is stupid enough to pass up a free meal ticket.

Madge is calling in some favors and asking designer pals to hire Luz. Of course they also obliged because she is freaking Madonna. Recently Marc Jacobs pulled strings and even wrote him a letter of recommendation to stay in the country. Dolce and Gabbana have also hired him for their fall-winter men’s campaign. Donatella Versace is entertaining his involvement with in a campaign.

This all isn’t sitting well with all of the other male models. I am sure they laugh and call him names and exclude him from all their model games.

Via Gatecrasher:

“Madonna’s sometime-boy-toy got straight-up dissed by the other male catwalkers as he prepped for the Jeffrey Fashion Cares event last week at Espace. Says one backstage source: “None of the other models would talk to Jesus or even look at him. They were gossiping like catty girls about how they couldn’t wait for his career to fizzle out.”

Even his friends are sick of Jesus. They sat him down and told him he acting like a diva and needs to sit down.

“He has a big, swollen head,” says a Madonna camp pal. “Jesus was trying to charge 100K per appearance in Brazil. Friends finally sat him down and told him to get real and to stop thinking he’s the male answer to Gisele, because he isn’t.”

Those are some great friends.

Banned Coco avant Chanel Ad

Audrey Tautou s undertaking the role of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in the film “Coco avant Chanel.” The actress is portraying one of the most legendary designers hailing from Paris. However, posters with the starlet sitting on sitting on a couch in pajamas and smoking a cigarette are being banned from Paris. Currently any images of smoking, even those of one the most influential Parisians, are being torn down.

The country’s city of romance has banned all public smoking. This took place at the start of 2009. In light of the no smoking, no exceptions law, a new poster was put in place of the “offensive” advert.

Via Telegraph:

“The film’s producers were obliged to provide an alternative poster showing Tautou with the male lead. But a representative of Warner France said that “for us, the real poster is where Coco Chanel is smoking in a natural pose that translates her strong personality and her modernity.”

Agreed. You will rarely find a picture of the real Coco with a cigarette in her hand or mouth. It’s a part of her personality.

Lauren Conrad Launching Clothing Line at Kohls

If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again! Lauren Conrad revealed yesterday that she is launching a new and improved apparel line that will be sold exclusively at “Kohls” department store. The announcement comes one month after “The Hills” star announced that her high-end “Lauren Conrad Collection” would be going on hiatus at the end of the season. What, failing at your first attempt wasn’t punishment enough? So just what kind of clothing are we going to be looking for?

Per Us Magazine:

“It is a California chic line,” she tells Usmagazine.com of the new brand, called LC Lauren Conrad. “It is a little more casual. They are basically trying to take that California style and make it accessible everywhere.”

In other words, expect her line to be boring and predictable, much like her personality. The line of clothes will be priced averaging between $20 to $60, and will be available in October at Kohl’s stores nationwide, as well as on the company’s website. The line is going to first debut consisting of only clothes, but may expand to include shoes, jewelry, handbags, intimates and sleepwear later on.

“We are very excited to announce our partnership with Lauren Conrad, a pop culture icon whose style resonates with our contemporary customer,” Don Brennan, the senior vice president of Kohl’s, told Us in a statement Monday. “We are confident the LC Lauren Conrad collection brings customers both the contemporary style and the world-class brands they want at a price that delivers incredible value.”

Pop Culture Icon is an overstatement! Apparently the big-wigs at “Kohls” didn’t keep up with how much of a bomb her last crack at this was! So what exactly made Conrad halt production on her pricey boutique “Lauren Conrad Collection” and create a label for “Kohls“?

“It was just kind of a battle I had because I wanted to do a higher-end line — I wanted to do a contemporary line — but I was also very aware that the reason I was able to do it at such a young age was because of fans that have supported the show and have supported me,” Conrad tells Us. “So this was my way of being able to still do what I love and work with a great company and also make it accessible to the fans that made it possible in the first place. My family has always shopped at Kohl’s, so I’ve always known about them and I think that they do a really great job,” Conrad says of the franchise, which has also partnered with designer Vera Wang. “I like having more of an eclectic style where you mix high ends and more affordable pieces,” she says. “It’s great to be able to go to a store like Kohl’s and get really good classic pieces and mix them into your wardrobe.”

Lauren Conrad at “Kohls.” Hmmm… I can’t wrap my head around the fact that she’d even step foot in the parking lot, nonetheless the actual store. I’ll take January in the pool on how long until her items wind up on the clearance rack! How hard is it to design tank tops and matte jersey dresses anyway?

‘Sex and the City’ Release Date Confirmed

Time for me to break out my Manolo Blahnik’s again–I am going to be getting more sex! “Sex and the City” that is!! Carrie, Samantha, Charolette and Miranda are going to be at a theatre near you on May 28, 2010, according to Variety.

Its biggest competition will the “Prince of Persia” game to movie film starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ben Kingsley, and apparently some untitled romantic comedy starring our favorite Drama Queen Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher (really?? REALLY??). So, obviously NO competition for this movie.

The bigger question in my mind is that the series as centered on Carrie’s romantic misfires, with Big, Aiden and Petrovski. With Carrie being married and happily settled, will this sequel have the same feel as the TV show and first movie? I am skeptical but willing to be open minded. Maybe the producers could send me some designer handbags and shoes. My skepticism seems to disappear with free swag. Just sayin’.

Project Runway Returns!

Let choirs of angels rejoice! The fashion heavens have parted the sea of legal battles and a ray of sun hath risen “Project Runway.” Birds are singing in jubilation, children are parading in the streets singing of the return of Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum.

Bravo and Lifetime have been battling over reality hit, “Project Runway.” Finally, all regards to the fate of the show have been legally settled and will return to tv. People has confirmed the final season, which has already been shot with a finale filmed at New York Fashion Week last month, will make it air this summer.

Sadly, the show will not return to it’s original home. Lifetime won the rights and everything will move from New York to Los Angeles. The reigning judges panel will remain with Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. Tim will also be there to mentor and guide the rising designers. (Yay for me. I can stalk Tim Gunn better this way. Er…I mean worship from afar.)

The show has gathered a celebrity following. Last season we were treated to a few guest judges that ranged from L.L. Cool J to Natalie Portman. Jennifer Lopez was due to be a final judge, but backed out last minute because she stubbed her toe…had the trots or something ridiculous like that. Season 6 will feature Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria Parker and Rebecca Romijn. (I am hoping Eva is also stricken with a wicked toe stubbing and will be forced to be replaced.)

Bravo is replacing their fashion reality jewel with another style challenging show. The creative title for the replace is called, “The Fashion Show.” This sounds like an disaster waiting to happen. Isaac Mizrahi, who owes me $39.95 for some bed sheets that lasted 2 months, is joining forces with Kelly Rowland. I can just picture Kelly trying to work it like Heidi and treated the eliminated guest to her rendition of ’N Sync’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” while Isaac dances in the background.

Marc Jacobs is Getting Married

Lorenzo Martone is the lucky winner of the bi-curious Marc Jacobs’ heart. Martone is the ad exec for Jacobs and his future husband. They always say not to dip your pen in the office ink, but when you are rich and willing to shill horrendous red sneakers with Kanye West my guess is rules don’t apply.

Via WWD:

“The designer and his ad executive boyfriend, who have been together for about a year, will go public with the news beginning Thursday, when they arrive in Brazil wearing
rings.”

There is no word on the wedding date, but I envision Marc as a spring bride. Kilts are also involved, but that is just my assumption.

What Others Said:

Dlisted – “I will raise my mug of Sanka to these two and their stubble beards this morning.”

Jossip – “Hey, maybe they were just giving Jason Preston enough time to buy a box of tissues, a pint of Chunky Monkey, and a pirated DVD of He’s Just Not That Into You.”
