Lunchtime buy: Worn Free Debbie Harry ‘Camp Funtime’ t-shirt

For those of you across the pond, you might already be familiar with the California-based clothing company Worn Free, so for the Brits among us, I introduce you to the much sought-after t-shirt brand that launched in the UK just last month. Worn Free reproduces vintage t-shirts as worn by legends of the past. Each logo tee comes with a ‘backstage pass’ tag, with a photograph of your chosen icon in their version of your purchased item, telling you the date and location it was worn. From the recognisable ‘Cassius Clay’ logo as worn by Muhammad Ali and John Lennon’s ‘Working Class Hero’ shirt to tees inspired by Elvis and Dee Dee Ramone, each has a nostalgic story to tell. With Kristen Stewart’s portrayal of a certain female rocker in the upcoming Runaways, we predict that the Joan Jett tees will prove a popular option over coming months. Our pick from the lot though (and it was a tough choice – there’s an extensive selection!) is the ‘Camp Funtime’ t-shirt as worn by rock icon, Debbie Harry back in 1977. It seems we’re not the only fans either, as Mischa Barton has been spotted in the very same design. Join the celebrity fans of Worn Free (including the likes of Ellen Page, Jennifer Aniston and Naomi Campbell) and indulge in a bit of comfortable, vintage cool. T-shirts are available in a range of sizes and colours, and are made from 100% cotton. £31.22/$49.95 from Worn Free.

BAFTAS: Colin Firth and Carey Mulligan win Celebrations were in order for two very fashionable winners this week, in the form of Colin Firth and Carey Mulligan who both received awards at the Baftas.

Topshop’s Dress Me Up

How many of you have shared in our dream of being able to borrow that dress from Kate Moss, have a nosey around Naomi Campbell’s clothes, or call up an uber-cool designer to pinch a piece for the night?

Teen Vogue cover girls: Jourdan Dunn and Chanel Iman

Teen supermodels Jourdan Dunn and Chanel Iman feature in a double whammy cover shoot for Teen Vogue’s November issue. In a rare shoot, the two young teens appear on the fashion magazine’s cover together; surprising when there has been much speculation about the pair’s rocky relationship. Regarding competition, Jourdan told Teen Vogue. “There aren’t a lot of us, but instead of sticking together, we’re pitted against each other. People will say things in Chanel’s ear like, ‘Jourdan is taking your spot’, and then they’ll say to me, ‘Don’t trust Chanel’. The problem they face? There’s only room for one black girl. ‘You’re being told, ‘So and so is only booking one black girl. It’s either you or Jourdan, said Chanel. The girls, however, are making history as two of the most successful black women in the industry. Not since Naomi Campbell has a black model generated so much intrigue as Chanel, who landed her first Vogue cover at 16 and is currently one of the youngest Victoria’s Secret models in the label’s history at 18. Clearly her pose-practising as a child paid off. 19-year-old London-born Jourdan, meanwhile, made history in her own right by walking the runway at Prada, the first black model to walk a Prada show since Naomi Campbell 10 years ago, might we add, as well as winning 2008’s Model of the Year award. Thankfully, the fashion world is beginning to diversify and the two teen supers have united. “The only way to improve the situation is to come together, said Chanel. At least they’ve got their heads screwed on. The November issue of Teen Vogue hits newsstands on October 13th.

Prince at Paris Fashion Week

Eva Herzigova’s not a fan of plastic surgery

Eva Herzigova thinks plastic surgery is “scary looking”. The 36-year-old supermodel claims no-one who has underdone a cosmetic operation looks good enough to make her want to risk altering her appearance. Referring to fellow supermodel Claudia Schiffer, Eva said: “Everyone around me is doing things and – probably because I see their faces before and after – it is very scary looking, it’s not attractive. Claudia doesn’t do anything. She’s a friend, and she looks beautiful, she looks natural. “Whatever is being done out there is not attractive enough for me to go and run to have it done. There is nothing that gets my attention.”

Inspiration behind D&G’s Anthology?

Dolce and Gabbana’s new perfumes are inspired by “women’s personality traits”. The Italian design duo launch their new range of fragrances – which all have different numbers and names, such as 6 L’Amoureux, which means romantic – later this month, and have revealed they think there is a scent to suit everyone. Stefano Gabbana explained: “The names and numbers on the bottles relate to tarot cards. Tarot is very common in Mediterranean countries and conveys the different aspects of people’s personalities.”

Karen Mulder arrested

Supermodel Karen Mulder has been arrested for making “threatening” phone calls to a plastic surgeon. The 39-year-old star was questioned at a Paris police station after calling the medic and reportedly demanding for a previous operation to be reversed. A detective said: “She was screaming and shouting about the operation and became extremely threatening. There were repeated calls to the female surgeon who was extremely scared. The suspect is being interviewed.” Karen was arrested at about 10am yesterday and taken to a station in the fashion district of the French capital city. Another police source has claimed the model had been “stalking and making repeated violent telephone threats” to the surgeon.

Azzedine Alaia speaks out

If you haven’t heard Alaia wasn’t happy that his clothes weren’t in “The Model As Muse exhibition, so he took back seven dresses that starlets were planning on wearing. Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour and Linda Evangelista then didn’t turn up in protest. Alaia has been quite vocal about his anger. Curator of the exhibition Harold Koda has claimed that Alaia wasn’t informed or invited to the Ball. Koda explained to WWD that they pretty much wanted Alaia from the beginning. And that a mutual friend asked Alaia if he felt comfortable to see his work displayed. Alaia reportedly said he wasn’t and so they chose not to pursue the matter further. Koda further added: “We would have loved to have had his pieces in the show, but there was a lot of miscommunication, my understanding was that he didn’t want his work in the show, so I honored it.

 But in a weird turn, in fact a diva moment, Alaia has chosen to blame Anna Wintour. He feels Anna Wintour has snubbed his work and this has influenced Koda’s decision: “She behaves like a dictator and everyone is terrified of her…but I’m not scared of her or anyone said Alaia. Honestly, they are one step away from name-calling….

The Met Costume Institute Gala 2009: The Gowns

Forget the Oscars. Last night NY was awash with celebs who scrubbed up and donned their best outfits for the annual Met Costume Institute Gala. Hosted by Marc Jacobs, Kate Moss and Justin Timberlake, the purpose of the event was to honour “the model as a muse. With actresses and singers dominating campaigns and magazine covers, the supermodel is a dying breed. So what to do? Celebrate their existence with an exhibition and a ball. Top tables for the evening set guests back a Alaia snub, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Stephanie Seymour chose not to attend….a bit sad really as all three would have set the carpet on fire. But alas we do still have a lot of material to work with. So here goes.

Shwopping: The way of the future?

Shop without leaving the house or spending a cent? Trade in those old Manolo Blahniks for a Chanel bag? Are the fashion gods finally thanking us for our voracious shopping habits or are they playing a ‘too good to be true’ trick on us? The concept of ‘shwopping’ is just starting to hit the web by storm. Similar to those clothing swap parties that have been going on with girlfriends around the world for some time, shwopping lets us strategically get rid of unwanted clothing and accessories while getting something that we would actually wear in return. This new method of shopping supports the eco-friendly and cost-conscious, while creating a bigger market for unique and hard to find garments.

Louis Vuitton Supermodel Spring Campaign

We will forever be devoted to the supermodel era. Its not our fault we grew up when supermodels were considered to be role models. Which is why we have to salute Louis Vuitton for bringing some of the supers together for their spring 2008 advertising campaign. Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Stephanie Seymour and Eva Herzigova star in the brilliantly bright ads along with Angela Lindvall and Natalia Vodianova. We do wish they could have pushed the boat out and brought in Cindy, Linda and Christy!!! [TFS]

Holiday Gift Guide 2007: Tocca Candles & Eau de Parfum

Ever had that disappointing feeling when you thought you’d discovered a fabulous brand that you could proudly share with everyone…then found out everyone already knew about it? This happened to us last week after we attended the press day over at Village Press. We were so smitten with the romantic aroma from the candles that greeted us upon arrival that we immediately did some more digging about Tocca upon return. Only to discover that we really should have heard about them earlier being that they’ve been around since 1994 and have a clothing collection that’s been worn by two of our favourite models, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell.

All in a day’s work….

If you’ve been cut off from civilization for a week you’d be forgiven for thinking that the image above is of supermodel Naomi Campbell attending a premiere or a high profile event of some sort. It is in fact Naomi leaving New York’s Department of Sanitation after completing her five days of community service for throwing a mobile phone at her former housekeeper. Naomi, looking stunning in a metallic Dolce and Gabbana gown with stilettos, strutted her way into a silver Rolls Royce –while a fellow colleague also on community service – carried her bag, and took off to Elton John’s star studded 60th birthday party as photographers frantically snapped away. This spectacle rounded off five days of Naomi flaunting stylish outfits coupled with the best accessories around….but make no mistake her glam appearance was more than just displays of narcissism. She was photographed every day by renowned photographer Steven Klein and the images will serve as the basis of a further fashion shoot for W magazine in which a 20-page feature of Naomi rumoured to be clad in cleaning gear will run in its July issue. In addition the diva will be revealing all about her experience when she edits GQ in April. And if you’re inclined to think “What a mockery! well Naomi would like you to know that she’ll be auctioning off the work clothes which she wore inside the building and money made from the sale will go to the Nelson Mandela’s children’s charity. It’s a shame she won’t be donating all the cash she’s made from the experience too…. [Image:Think2wice]

Show studio: Bring and Buy

An invitation was sent out in early July to SHOWstudio viewers and contributors alike to send in their favourite garments for the Bring and Buy project, which takes advantage of SHOWstudio’s global audience to raise money for Oxfam, whilst exploring themes of provenance and recycling in fashion. In addition, they were asked to complete a form, detailing basic information about the item’s original owner and its history. All items received formed the basis of a major fashion shoot for the October 2005 issue of i-D magazine, which is being curated by Nick Knight. On 27, 28 & 29 July, a cast of superstylists including Katie Grand, Simon Foxton, Nicola Formichetti, Nancy Rohde, Jonathan Kaye, Katy England, Alister Mackie and Zoe Bedeaux among many others, styled a host of fashion models, actors and dancers including Erin O’Connor, Naomi Campbell, Leo Gregory and Karolina Kurkova using a selection of items submitted by SHOWstudio viewers. After the shoot, all garments will be auctioned on EBay (using Nick Knight’s shots from the shoot to advertise each item) to raise money for i-D’s charity of choice, Oxfam. All Bring and Buy donations are to be auctioned online through e-Bay for the third-world charity Oxfam. The auction begins 20:00 GMT Sep 18, and ends 20:00 GMT Sep 25. You will need an eBay account to bid, and a credit/debit card to pay. [Text and Images: Show Studio, View Auction Items]

Death of the model – Birth of the Celeb

This is so true. Celebrities have taken over where the supermodel left off. These days most celebs want to be fashion icons, for once you are an icon you can now bring out a label. I wouldnt be suprised if this is the next step for Victoria Beckham. I remember when most issues of Vogue or Elle had Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss etc on the front cover. Now even I look forward to which female celeb rather than model will grace their covers. During the supermodel era, “actresses wore clothes and supermodels wore fashion,” says Singer. “At that time, actresses thought it would damage credibility if they were seen as fashion plates.” But this generation of actresses grew up in fashion-centric times, and they’ve “come of age thinking that a love of fashion and seriousness about craft are not incompatible.” I can’t decide whether I’m for or against the celebrity fashion icon. I see the pros and cons but I do know that I miss the supermodel era. If you asked somebody in the late eighties/early nineties to name a model they would say the name of a current model without hesitation. Now not that many have a clue.

Imogen Poots is Worst Dressed of the Week in Louis Vuitton

In a week that gave us great looks, some no so great ones crept onto the red carpet, too. The offender in question: Imogen Poots in Louis Vuitton at the New York screening of her latest movie, That Awkward Moment. The actress opted for a top-to-toe look for the spring 2014 collection, including an embellished LBD with cut-out waist detail, and tights covered in Stephen Sprouse-style graffiti. Although the runway look featured a halter dress, Imogen opted for a deep scoop neck style, rounding off her look with platform sandals and a rather peculiar hair do… Make-up was kept simple, accentuated only by heavily kohled eyes and a slick of black nail colour, which lent to a grungy feel. As for the hair, we’re not too sure what Imogen’s styling team had in mind! The intentionally messy down-do looks a little too unkempt for our liking and those bangs aren’t doing any favours to neaten up the look, either. This outfit could certainly have done without the footless tights, and a more refined hairstyle would’ve complemented the dress’s ornate, evening feel. What do you think? Does this look work?
