Beth Ditto Designing For New Look
The awesomness that is Beth Ditto, from the band The Gossip, is planning to design a range of plus size clothes for UK store New Look. Speaking to The Sun newspaper Ditto said-
"I'm in talks to do something with them at the moment, I love their stuff."
By getting her own range, Beth will be following in the footsteps of Lily Allen, who has her own line of New Look clothes.
"Lily Allen is not to be messed with," said Ditto of her fellow designer. "But I think she tries to be a role model, which is tough."
Without sounding like a gushing homo, I think Beth Ditto is one of the coolest, most well adjusted performers out there. If I was a plus size lady who lived in the UK, I'd be rocking her outfits any day. (wow, I actually managed to out gay myself... I didn't think that was possible)

Don't Rain On My Parade
Anna Wintour , editor-in-chief of American Vogue, is pictured bracing the rain at the Chanel couture catwalk show at Paris fashion week. (It's oh so common to hold your own umberlla.)
Fergie doesn't seem at all bothered by the giant microphone hoisted in front of her, back stage at the Chanel Couture show on Tuesday.
I swear to god, Fergie and Anna Wintour were the only celebrities to turn up to the Chanel couture show on Tuesday in Paris. I don't know what, or who, is responsible for the poor attendance, but someone needs to claim responsibility, because that is just sad. If the woman who sung "my humps, my lovely lady lumps", is the biggest star you can pull, then you're in real trouble.
I looked for photos of other celebrities but these were all I could find.
Perhaps that episode of Grey's Anatomy with that sad Snow Patrol song at the end kept all the celebs in their hotel rooms. Or perhaps Karl instigated a new fat rule and was thus weighing everyone as they entered, turning away anyone who was fatter than him. Or maybe it was just the rain. Whatever the explanation, I'm sure it must have been a very awkward after party. Can you imagine Anna Wintour and Fergie trying to make polite conversation with each other?
Fergie- "Did you know I used to be a meth addict?"
Anna- "No way, so did I!"

Model of the Month-Hugo's The Boss
Well the results are in. And it seems, with 60% of the votes, that Mr Hugo Sauzay is our winner. So what to say about the man. Well he's French, he's starred in campaigns for Jil Sander, Mulberry, Calvin Klein and Kenzo as well as appearing in runway shows for every and any designer you care to think of. Which is all well and good, but it's not what Model of the Month is really all about. We want to know about the real Hugo; what makes him tick, what makes him happy, what makes him hard. We want to go beyond the surface image and see what's deep inside...his pants.
Unfortunately the closest we'll get are these pics of him. Oh and all his measurements so you can make a creepy replica Hugo doll to freak all your friends out with.Height: 186cm
Chest 87-34
Waist: 75-29
Shoe Size: 43- 9
Hair: Brown
Eyes Blue-Gray

Dior's 60th B'day Bash at Versailles
According to The Associated Press, last night's 60th B'day bash for Dior at Versailles was THE party to be at-
"Hollywood stars including Charlize Theron, Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba joined guests Monday at the 300-year-old orangery of the castle that was home to France's Sun King, Louis XIV.
"It's amazing, it's like a dream come true," a dazed Alba told The Associated Press. "I can't even believe the grounds and this castle. It's extraordinary."
Stars of the supermodel era, including Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista, struck poses in sumptuous evening gowns and 1940s-style suits inspired by the works of painters ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Pablo Picasso.
The ideas flowed at breathtaking pace, earning the house's British designer John Galliano a rare standing ovation."
Go John! I would have sold my ovaries to an infertile couple to have been there. What the hell does Jessica Alba know about couture?!.............................................................

Galliano's Party of the Century
This is suppose to happen today! We'll post pics as soon as they show up. So excitement!
"JOHN GALLIANO is gearing up for one hell of a party. As Christian Dior prepares for its 60th anniversary this summer, rumour has it the British designer will stage a one-off couture show on July 2, inside Versaille's stunning Orangerie. According to WWD, models have already been booked and instructed to arrive an enormous eight hours before showtime - now that's a lot of hair and make-up. No stranger to fashion, the exact location was chosen for a Dior "Matrix"-themed couture show back in 1999.
The palace itself, which hadn't permitted a fashion shoot for over 25 years, also miraculously opened its doors to the American Vogue team last year, for the memorable Kirsten Dunst cover shoot inspired by Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. If you can't make it to France for the show, John will also be making his way to London to throw a Champagne reception with British Vogue, at the V&A, during London Fashion Week on September 18. One of the world's most passionate ambassadors for the survival and genius of Haute Couture, Gallliano will be celebrating the gallery's opening of its aptly named exhibition, The Golden Age of Couture."

Kris Van Assche Debuts for Dior Homme
Dior showed it's first collection since the ousting of former designer Hedi Slimane yesterday.
Kris Van Assche who worked with Hedi for 7 years, was determined to put his own mark on the brand. However it seems that the initial response, on the net at least, hasn't been that positive. Many have criticized the new direction as boring and lacking in the excitement that Hedi brought to the brand.
And it appears that the models at the show may have also felt the same way. Unveiled in a sheikh’s mansion on the Avenue Foch, not a smile was seen on any of the fellas as they posed in a series of static tableaux in three ornate salons.
Cheer up Charlie's! Hedi will be back any minute.

I HEART JOHN GALLIANO
Genius John Galliano opened his provocative Paris show with the outfit below, surely a comment on the current climate. Models wore neon camouflage prints, loose or padded jackets and combat-style vests with pockets and straps strung over bare chests. Exposed skin was daubed with army-style camouflage paint; faces were obscured with netting, helmets, foliage, traditional Middle-Eastern headdresses and fake beards.
Totally hot. He can put a fatwa on me any day!

Pref Magazine
Issue 21 of Pref magazine has just come out. I have no idea what Pref magazine is all about, but after seeing these photos on the great website Casual in Istanbul, I really don't give a shit. I think it's a fashion mag, and I think it's from Italy, but really these are minor details. What's of more interest is who is this hottie and is it possible to bid for that soccer ball on ebay yet?
