Karl Lagerfeld Slams Heidi Klum and Seal

June 12, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

I make it no secret that I cannot stand Karl Lagerfeld but adore some of his creations. It’s a love hate relationship. Now I am seriously considering cutting the bitch should his comments be true.

According to reports, he went on a scathing rant attacking Heidi Klum and her family. Lagerfeld wasn’t shy in agreeing with the Germans regarding Heidi’s weight in February. Most attacked her for being “too heavy” after posing completely nude on the cover of German GQ. Karl was one of the voices accusing her of being fat.

He lashed out again and the jealousy didn’t stop at her weight. He claimed that no one in the fashion world know who she is. His rationalization is that his pal Claudia Schiffer doesn’t know who she is.

Per The Sun:

“I don’t know her. Claudia doesn’t know her. She was never in Paris, we don’t know her.”

Hmmm…that’s odd. He claims not to know her, but knows she is a model and married to Seal. Karl even went as low as to attack her husband’s skin.

“I am no dermatologist but I wouldn’t want his skin. Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters.”

That is beyond low. I doubt Klum is sweating his words. She has created a successful empire for herself and recently guest edited for German Vogue. Plus he really shouldn’t be the one to point the chubby finger. Their once was a pudgy Lagerfeld who was substation ally more tolerable. So I would be careful if I was him. Karl is quickly becoming the Star Jones of the fashion world.

Anna Wintour Bans Rihanna from Vogue Cover

May 29, 2009 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

Thanks to the recent leak of nude photos of Rihanna (see the alleged photos by clicking here), Rihanna won’t be gracing the cover of Vogue any time soon.

Anna Wintour is a notoriously picky with her cover stars. Stars and models of the African American decent rarely get a shot at the feature and must pack a huge pull or A-list following. A flaw in it’s own as Oprah and Michelle Obama have squeaked by on the cover along with Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. Wintour first made Oprah loose 20 pounds before the cover shots were taken. So when Rihanna was rumored to be the next starlet to land the mag’s feature it was due to be a rare buy.

However, after RiRi’s photos leaked to the internet, any chances of her face appearing on Vogue were gone.

Via Celebitchy per Star Magazine:

“It could have been Rihanna’s shining moment: the cover of Vogue! But when the nude pictures hit cyberspace, her once-in-a-lifetime chance was gone in a flash. Rihanna and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour had been talking for weeks about doing the cover and an inside spread, says a close friend of the singer, who adds that the two even chatted about it at the Met Costume Institute Gala on May 4. “Anna told her Vogue absolutely loves her and really wanted to work with her. Rihanna was ecstatic!” But since the photos came out, says the friend, “Anna hasn’t returned any of her calls. Rihanna’s so upset!”

Aww…too bad. I think it would be good for Anna to pull the broom stick out of her hindquarters.

Anna Wintour Told Oprah to Loose Weight

May 19, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Watch CBS Videos Online

Anna Wintour came down from Mount Vogue to be questioned by “60 Minutes.” Father Time interviewed the Vogue Editrix to give her an opportunity to try and convince us she isn’t an ice queen, but lovely and fluffy kitten who just loves to be right.

The interview omitted several omissions by Wintour. One edited question surrounded her preference for stick thin cover girls. In 1998 Oprah landed a cover spot with the Fashion Bible. Being notoriously up and down with her weight issues, Anna asked the talk show queen to loose 20 pounds.

Via Us:

“It was a very gentle suggestion,” she said, laughing. “I went to Chicago to visit Oprah, and I suggested that it might be an idea that she lose a little bit of weight.”

She added: “I said simply that you might feel more comfortable. She was a trooper!”

Near the end of the interview the question of contracts came up. Conveniently enough, her contract is about to expire with Vogue. Rumors that ‘Nuclear Wintour’ was on her way out have been swirling for nearly a year. French Vogue Editor, Carine Roitfeld is the front runner to replace her should she be axed or retire. So it is of little surprise that Team Wintour is popping up in the media more often as the contract negotiations are eminent.

It must be lovely being a queen.

Tyson Beckford: ‘Celebs are Stealing Jobs from Models’

March 18, 2009 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

Tyson Beckford, a veteran male model turned reality tv show host, is hitting out at celebrities who are taking over the fashion world.

Beckford, who is currently hosting “Make Me a Supermodel,” is frustrated with celebs taking the fashion reigns from models. Magazine covers are being dominated by celebrities adorned in high clothing. They are taking the place of those who are physically gifted. Vogue, W and InStyle are just a few who prefer a celeb on the front cover as opposed to models.

Per AP:

“You have to do a lot of tweaking and airbrushing to get the same from a celebrity that you would get from a model. A lot of celebrities — I’m gonna tell you right now — they’re not 5’11″; they’re not a size 2 to fit into these designer dresses, but the designers want exposure so they’re willing to make the specific dress for that actor or actress to get them to look good on the cover.”

Currently the A-list ranks of Hollywood sell the magazines better than just a pretty face. A staple question at a red carpet event flooded with celebs is: “Who are you wearing?” Does this mean the time of the model is over? Not according to Tyson. Designers rely on the famous to market their clothing now, but the fashion world is notoriously fickle.

“It’ll all come back around. One day some designer will wake up and say, `You know what? I don’t want to use Gwyneth Paltrow. I want to use Adriana Lima, I want to use Gisele (Bundchen), I want to go back to the high fashion. I think slowly but surely you’ll see that start happening.”

Agreed. I also can’t wait until the ‘pail and frail’ trend passes. The runways are littered with gaunt models who look as though they have wandered out of Auschwitz.

Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry Hook Up

February 19, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

If Anna Wintour has her way they will.

The Vogue Ice Queen was at the William Rast fashion show when she got the idea to team up Katy Perry with Justin Timberlake. While at the show with her daughter, Bee Schaffer, she asked her “Who is the singer that talks about kissing girls?” After being informed of Perry’s name she approached Timberlake to run her idea by him. A spy from the NY Post heard of Anna’s plans.

“Wintour told William Rast founder Justin Timberlake that he and Perry should team up for something in an upcoming issue of Vogue, and also told Timberlake that his girlfriend, Jessica Biel, should stop by her office to discuss a future cover.”

My fingers are crossed in hopes it will involve him in a leotard circa the Timberlake Beyonce “All the Single Ladies” SNL spoof. (Nice of Jessica to drag a brush through her mop.)

Michelle Obama’s Vogue Spread – Photos

February 11, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

The First Lady of Fierce is on the cover of Vogue.

Michelle Obama is the second Presidential wife to graced the cover of the Fashion Bible. Hilary Clinton was first to make the cover in 1998. Annie Leibovitz was the photographer for the shoot that took place at the Hay-Adams Hotel. This was the Obama family’s digs before the official inauguration.

On the cover she is wearing a bold magenta dress by Jason Wu. (He was also responsible for her inaugural gown.) In the issue she also wears a simple little black dress by another of her personal favorites, Narciso Rodriguez. Inside she address a few questions one was about trying to keep her role as mother first in her life.

Via The Washington Post Per Vogue:

“I’m going to try to take [our two daughters] to school every morning – as much as I can,” she says, according to the Post. “But there’s also a measure of independence. And obviously there will be times I won’t be able to drop them off at all. I like to be a presence in my kids’ school. I want to know the teacher; I want to know the other parents.”

Anna Wintour also sang her praises. (This speaks volumes as Wintour is a bit…well…picky.)

“Change was the clarion call of Barack Obama’s election campaign, though I don’t think any of us at Vogue initially realized that would include the difference that was going to be made by First Lady Michelle Obama’s wardrobe … It’s inspiring to see our first lady so serene and secure in her personal style.”

Thank God Annie let her keep her top on. What? Too soon?

Anna Wintour Shames Sienna Miller

January 24, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

I have been waiting for the documentary surrounding the working process of famed Ice Queen, Anna Witour. Her notorious….ahem…strenuous work ethic…was captured on film for a documentary that made it’s debut at Sundance.

Poor Sienna Miller was Wintour’s victim in September 2007 issue of Vogue. The film detailed the creation of the magazine and the obstacles presented in cranking out the “Fashion Bible.” One problem happened to be the star on the cover. In the world of this hardcore Editor, not even celebs are spared from her venom.

Via OK! (their exclamation point, not mine):

“A witness of the film said: “It must be awful for Sienna to see. Anna keeps complaining she is too ‘toothy’ and the other staff are worried she has too many fillings. The editors hint at Sienna to cut her hair and she ignores them, which worried them even more. It was funny, but probably not for her.”

The revealing footage also shows the eventual cover shot, taken from pictures by famed photographer Mario Testino, which is made up of two images of Sienna. Her head is taken from one shot and superimposed on another image of her body.”

Ouch. I guess this is the price you pay for getting to hump Jude Law.

Anna Wintour Refuses to Leave Vogue

December 4, 2008 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Here we go again. Anna Winour is rumored to be leaving her throne as Editor for the fashion Bible, Vogue.

Just like in the film, “The Devil Wears Prada,” the French Editor of the Eurpean branch of the fashion magazine is said to be taking the place of the Ice Queen. After fighting off reports that she was leaving Vogue to be the Fashion High Priestess to Barack Obama, her departure is being invented once again. But the Editor insists she is not leaving.

“I have no plans to leave American Vogue now or in the foreseeable future,” said Vogue editor Anna Wintour as she was walking out of the Plaza this morning. “I think—my father always said to me that when you get too angry that’s the time to stop. The day I get too angry is the day I take up gardening.”

Conde Nast chairman Si Newhouse also squashed the rumor of her replacement.

“This is the silliest rumor I ever heard.”

I am pretty sure a bucket of water will do the trick.

Taylor Swift’s Vogue Photoshoot

November 24, 2008 By Cara Harrington 14 Comments

Taylor Swift took her squinty little eyes to Vogue. While I hate, hate, hate the standard hands-on-face pose, she actually looks good.

They found a way to open up T. Squints’ eyes. Which is a step up regardless of tacky posing.

Anna Wintour NOT Leaving Vogue

November 20, 2008 By Cara Harrington 3 Comments

The rumors of Anna Wintour’s departure from the fashion Bible are not true. So the interns secretly celebrating the end of her reign need to get back to looking busy.

Rumors that Wintour was leaving Vogue to serve Barack Obama at the White House are false. She was said to be undertaking a “cultural post” in the administration. This is all complete bunk. A rep for Anna states that she isn’t entertaining any ideas of leaving the magazine.

“It’s totally not true. She won’t be working for Obama in any way. What you hear about her leaving is nothing more than rumor.”

Long live the Ice Queen. Yes, I bow down to the Editor. I believe that she is the version of me who got off her rump and put the Kashi down to go be productive. That I and I am pretty sure if I pissed her off I would wake up with the head of a model in my bed.
