“We look into fashion designs very much in advance. We started the plaid shirts and the cheetah pants before people started seeing it [on runways]. When you first look at it as a designer, you think, ‘Okay, this is going to be a little crazy.’ But you don’t know what’s going to be in in a year like Max [Azria] does. Max looks at other designers, and you know it’s very advanced. He’s got the inside scoop.”

Despite having given birth to her fourth child last month and claiming she was merely going to host the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, Heidi Klum could not resist the allure of the catwalk.

While she swapped the usual, revealing lingerie for a full bodice, it’s clear that whatever training or dieting the supermodel did worked wonders in returning her to the runway!

Can you even spot the supposed “extra” twenty pounds she claims to still have?

Kate Moss has sparked controversy after being accused of making comments which could promote extreme dieting. The supermodel caused outrage after revealing she tries to live by the motto “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”

She said in an interview on fashion news website WWD: “There are loads of mottos. There’s, ‘Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.’ That’s one of them. You try and remember, but it never works.”

Similar phrases can be found on pro-anorexia websites such as Starving For Control, which carries the slogan “nothing tastes as good as thin feels.”

The 35-year-old British beauty - who has a seven-year-old daughter, Lila Grace - has now been accused of encouraging young people to develop eating disorders.

Always seeming to keep themselves busy, the Kardashian sisters are now launching their own jewelery range.

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, who already have their own clothing and skincare line, have announced they are creating an accessories collection for the Los Angeles brand Virgins, Saints + Angels next April.

Kim Kardashian, 29, wrote on her website, “The collection embraces our unique style… Romantic, edgy, and classic vintage… or at least we hope so. Our Armenian culture is very important to us and we tried to incorporate that in the jewelery also.”

The reality TV family previously signed a five-year contract to design clothing for fashion retailer Bebe, as well as a skincare line which is due out next year.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars are not the first celebrities to create their own jewelery line - Nicole Richie already has her own accessories range, House of Harlow 1960, as well as recently launching her own womenswear label for contemporary woman.

Move over, Heidi Klum—Gisele Bundchen has been named the world’s most valuable model.

The Brazilian beauty, who is currently expecting her first child with husband Tom Brady, topped The Daily Beast’s annual list, which took into account multi-year contracts, advertising campaigns, runway appearances and magazine covers.

Gisele beat Kate Moss into second place, while others in the top 10 included new mother Adriana Lima, Christy Turlington and Miranda Kerr.

The website said of the list, “We considered four tenets to illustrate a model’s visibility and success - multi-year contracts, advertising campaigns, runway appearances, and magazine covers. Those with retail licensing deals, including Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen, got credit for those estimated annual earnings, as well. Annual income from contracts, primarily negotiated by large cosmetic companies and Victoria’s Secret, were weighted 40 per cent because they are the most difficult to get, bear the largest salaries, and indicate a very high level of success.”

Check out the complete list after the jump.

Celebrities really are like normal people—take Mariah Carey, for instance, who can’t bring herself to maintain a diet.

The “Hero” singer, whose weight has fluctuated in the past, admits that she is prone to piling on the pounds but says she could never deny herself her favorite foods.

“I’m very muscular. So I mustn’t lift weights. I should rather go swimming or do pilates. And of course I should stick to a diet. But I don’t want to do that. I’m always on the go. What could I eat and how would I be able to follow a diet?”

Mariah, 40, also says she would never want to be a size zero and thinks there is too much pressure placed on young girls to be unhealthily skinny: “It’s society’s fault. We grow up with these magazines which are full of size zero models. But people are just people. It’s about personal qualities. I don’t want to be a size zero. And also, I couldn’t be one. My bones would look very ugly. I am the happiest when my curvy parts fit into a US size six.”

With stylish stars like Angelina Jolie dressing kids in her clothes, it’s no wonder that more celebrities want to line up with Stella McCartney.

Pop singer Leona Lewis has her eyes aimed at such a collaboration, specifically an eco-friendly one.

“Leona and Stella got on famously. They are both vegetarians, don’t wear leather and are huge animal lovers. The [fashion] line would be very animal-friendly,” reveals an anonymous source.

The news comes after the pair were spotted being awfully chatty at a charity event, Children In Need, in London. Although McCartney has designed costumes for the film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, this team-up would be her first with a celebrity, despite having previous done lines for Adidas and H&M.

Adriana Lima has given birth to a daughter.

The Victoria’s Secret model and basketball star Marko Jaric became parents for the first time on Sunday to baby Valentina, who was born in a New York hospital.

A spokesperson for the Brazilian beauty said:, “Adriana and Marko are thrilled to announce they had a baby girl, Valentina Lima Jaric. Mother, father and baby are all doing well.”

The couple have been flooded with messages of congratulations - and even offers for Adriana to return to work. Victoria’s Secret Chief Marketing Officer Ed Razek said: “All of us at Victoria’s Secret are thrilled to welcome Adriana’s own little angel. I jokingly asked her if she wanted to walk the runway in our annual fashion show this Thursday night and, for a minute, I thought she was going to take me up on it! We congratulate her, and wish them all health and well being.”

Adriana, 28, and Marko, 31 married on Valentine’s day this year after dating for three years.

Never say, “Never” when it comes to the modeling world—even if your agent says so! Case in point: Gemma Ward.

Following an emergence of recent pictures of the model displaying a more average, fuller figure, Ward’s agent claimed that she was not expected to return to modeling “any time soon.”

Ward dispelled such talk via her seldom-used Twitter page: “Thankyou everyone for your support, all i’ll say on the subject is im content with my decision but i have said nothing will be permanent.(sic)”

The dabbling actress went so far as to e-mail an Australian newspaper to further confirm her upcoming return, yet hints that it’ll be sooner than later: “I have not ‘quit modeling’ and my fans back home can expect to see me back at work modeling and acting in the new year.”

So what’s she doing until then?

UPDATE: Pascal Mouawad tells WWD that the collaboration is “not happening.” Oops on Lindsay!

In extremely troubling and mind-boggling fashion news, Lindsay Lohan has actually been hired for another fashion gig, this time in the jewelry department.

Aside from the fact that fashion designer Emanuel Ungaro slammed Lohan for sucking his former house of its soul, did we all forget about those few photo shoot instances where jewelry went missing? I daresay that she’s got some convincing people working for her!

Word around the fashion town says that the hard partying starlet is teaming up with Pascal Mouawad to design a jewelry line for Bebe (first the Kardashian sisters, now Lindsay!). Mouawad recently aided Nicole Richie with her own jewelery collection for the San Francisco-based retailer—one would think that they’d spread these things out.

“Pascal and I are actually working together, we’re doing something with a friend who owns bebe. We’re doing a collection for them and we’re also going to be doing some other things,” Lindsay dished.

Can Mouawad help this poor soul who has clearly lost track of her career path?

Much like Crocs, Snuggies are an abomination to the fashion industry (if one dares to even include them as such products) that somehow produce a viral effect.

Supermodel Heidi Klum‘s personal trainer has moved in with her to help get her into shape.

The German supermodel is desperate to shed the weight she gained while pregnant with daughter Lou - her fourth child who was born last month - before a Victoria’s Secret catwalk show next week and has embarked on a grueling diet and exercise regime under the guidance of expert David Kirsch.

A source said, “Heidi’s swapped processed carbs, sugar, dairy and fruit for egg-white omelettes, spinach salads and grilled tuna with quinoa. She’s determined to wow everyone when she walks. She’s pushing herself through gruelling twice-daily workouts.”

Heidi has previously admitted she is struggling to lose her baby weight and finds it much tougher than she did after having her other children, Leni, five, Henri, four, and Johan, three: “I wouldn’t say I’m back in shape yet. Everything changes when you get older. It was different when I was 31 with the first one and now being 36 with the fourth one.”

She is now hitting the treadmill and eating sensibly in a bid to get back in shape as she fears she will remain bigger forever if she doesn’t act now: “I think that if you wait too long and it sticks there it stays that way forever. I have to be motivated.”

“My Jean-Paul Goude [Matthew Williams was] the inspiration that made the connection for me between the art world and the fashion world. He used to say things like ‘If you want to make a shoulder pad, don’t research jackets—research sculpture, mineral rocks, paintings.’ He thinks in a different way; he is the designer of the future.”

If we haven’t convinced you to love Emma Watson, perhaps Victoria Beckham can!

Even though Beckham’s range boasts customers like Elle Macpherson, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez, and Blake Lively, the pop star-turned-designer says that she’d love to dress the Harry Potter starlet: “[Emma is] so sweet, so true to herself. There are so many young girls wearing too much make-up, too much hairspray—I find that very dated.”

So whose celebrity style does Beckham admire?

Now that we know what’s on the inside, we finally see that Australian actress Cate Blanchett has landed the outside of December’s US Vogue.

Annie Leibovitz shot Blanchett, who is certainly no stranger to Vogue, in an elegant, goddess-like bronze (Donna Karan) gown for the cover. The woman can do no wrong!

Usually a fan of more monochrome fare, Kristen Stewart stepped out at the London premiere of New Moon in the bold Look 20 from Proenza Schouler’s Spring/Summer ‘10 collection.

While I definitely give her the points in effort, I’m not necessarily fancying the outfit on the Twilight starlet - not only does it make her look frumpy, but her Joan Jett hair doesn’t bode well with the ensemble.

Rankin thinks Karl Lagerfeld must have been drunk when he slated Heidi Klum.

Chanel designer Lagerfeld has been engaged in a war of words with the German model ever since he called her “too fat to model” and criticized her husband Seal’s appearance earlier this year, but fashion photographer Rankin has hit out at the designer, saying Heidi is on a par with Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer.

“I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about. He’s a funny one, Karl Lagerfeld, he doesn’t say anything for years and then when he does it’s so off the mark. Maybe he’d had a couple of drinks.”

Rankin, who has photographed most of the world’s top models during his career, praised the model’s worth ethic and versatility: “Kate and Heidi never turn up late - maybe half an hour late - they’re never difficult, never unmanageable.

“Heidi has an amazing ability to be able to step between high fashion, high street fashion, catalogue and mainstream TV and it’s very unusual. I don’t think there’s anyone else in the world - Claudia Schiffer maybe - who can do the same.”

Although Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone originally planned to tie the knot in a very small ceremony at the end of late August, news and pictures never surfaced—in other words, it didn’t happen. It also could have been due to the fact that Jacobs and Martone never confirmed the wedding (we all know that celebrities mean quite the opposite when it comes to affairs such as this).

Rest assured—the famed designer opened up about the upcoming event (vaguely at best, but I’ll take it): “We still haven’t fixed the date but Lorenzo and I believe in commitment. We’re quite classic like that. We’ve got the license, hence the rumors that we’d already got married. So hopefully it will happen in 2010. When it does, it will be very low-key.”

From the way Jacobs spoke of business at Louis Vuitton, I would hope that the pair change their mind and make their big day an extravagant one—they seem to be the only company weathering this financial storm.

“In terms of what’s selling at Louis Vuitton, the recession hasn’t changed anything… our sales are up and I haven’t noticed that people’s tastes have got more subdued. There’s this huge cult following of almost crazy people at Vuitton who just want whatever they buy to be exclusive.”

I can’t wait to see their adorable wedding pictures (or what they’d wear for that matter)!

We’ve heard what Lindsay has to say about her failed collection at the House of Emanuel Ungaro; so what does the designer whose name is still used by the fashion label?

Apparently the 76 year-old, who sold the house to an investment fund four years ago, calls it a “disaster,” but unfortunately nothing he can control: “I’m furious but there isn’t a thing I can do. I have absolutely no link with that house.”

The line, which Lohan was appointed Artistic Advisor a month before the collection’s debut at Paris Fashion Week, was designed by Estrella Archs and well-received by the company itself.

Ungaro believes that this fashion debacle occurred because he sold his soul: “This happens to a lot of designers. We were creator/owners, responsible for both the designs of the house and its destiny. But when you give up your house, we’ve also given up our soul.”

Selling one’s soul tends to be associated with acquiring money from a business deal - he didn’t give it up for free (unlike Lohan)!

We can now add famed French Vogue Editor-in-Chief Carine Rotfeld to the growing list of pantsless followers.

As much as I love Carine, the coat and boots are a little much. I know that it’s deathly freezing in New York City, but sometimes there are sacrifices one must make (she ought to take cues from Lady Gaga, who ditched more clothes in London for the sake of a lace bodysuit!).

When I look at the outfit, I feel like she’s trying to fit all of this season’s trends into one look, and it’s not panning out as well as she imagined it—can she redeem herself after this?

Judging by a photo taken of Katie Holmes and her daughter Suri, the actress-turned-designer wasn’t kidding about that children’s collection; I was hoping she would at least spare the kids.

In the picture, Holmes and her mature daughter stepped out in matching red dresses from her range, Holmes & Yang.

I’m still in shock that Maxfield actually chose these designs over Victoria Beckham’s creations. Holmes could at least try to make her outfit look good (Suri, on the other hand, looks adorable)—is her stylist too busy sewing more ugly products?

The Queen of Pop has seemed to move on from Marc Jacobs and has now moved on to cozying up with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, starring in their upcoming Spring/Summer ‘10 ad campaign.

While the Dolce & Gabbana pair have worked with Madonna in the past for her stage costumes, she has never taken to glossy pages for them until now. It probably helps that her current boy toy, model Jesus Luz, starred in the previous ad campaign for their fall line (he probably wants to remain employed).

“To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true,” the designing duo said.

Shot last week in New York City by celebrated photographer Steven Klein, I’m fairly excited for the photos; however, I’m hoping that we’ll be able to recognize her face this time around (as opposed to her controversial Louis Vuitton ads that were highly edited).

And to think, Taylor Lautner was getting tired of being shirtless.

Christian Serratos might not be one of the big names from the Twilight series, but she’s going to be a lot more memorable now. (Maybe that was her point.)

The actress, who plays Angela in the adaptations, is just one of many stars who have stripped down for PETA’s famous “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign. Other celebrities who have contributed their bodies to the cause include Karina Smirnoff, Steve-O, Khloe Kardashian and Joanna Krupa.

In case you have a hard time finding reading the message on the ad, here it is: “Animals killed for their fur are electrocuted, drowned, beaten and often skinned alive. Please don’t wear fur.”

Some stars will pay big bucks for a new pair of worn-in jeans. Others will achieve that distressed look the hard way.

According to Zac Efron, his days during HSM 3 were spent multi-tasking. For eight straight weeks, the actor sported the exact same pair of G-Star jeans.

“I wore them all throughout High School Musical 3,” he admitted to WWD. “I even wore them hiking. You have to wear them everywhere to get them right.”

After two months of battering, Efron’s goal was eventually accomplished: the denim lost its stiffness and starting exposing “yellow whiskers.”

Let’s just hope that pair was washed at some point.

While the news isn’t necessarily a shock due to her absence from the runways and ad campaigns, model Gemma Ward has officially announced via her agency that she is to quit modeling.

“Gemma hasn’t committed to returning to modeling at any time soon,” a spokeswoman said.

The announcement comes after photos of the model/actress having gained a few sizes appeared online, accumulating a mixed slew of supportive and awful comments from readers. Many speculate that her weight gain and departure are due to the death of Heath Ledger, whom she was romantically linked to shortly before that January day.

I find it sad that for Ward, a model who was constantly attacked early in her career for being too skinny, is now under fire for being too heavy! It’s not as if she’s doing any modeling work; even if she did, who cares if someone decides to hire a model of a more average dress size?

She ought to go back to acting, in my opinion. She creeped me out as Dollface in The Strangers and has garnered plenty of positive criticism for her role in The Black Balloon.

With a campaign titled “Born to Rule,” it’s no wonder that Vera Wang chose the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet to star in the ads, promoting the designer’s Princess fragrance.
